An internet murder was committed the other night after a legend named Sophie Ross did some investigating/stalking and discovered that Instagram influencer Arielle Charmas has been faking coronavirus, or at least, being completely irresponsible if she does have coronavirus.

It really is an impressively thorough annihilation of this Arielle Charmas girl who, from the looks of things, is one of the cockiest and most gassed up people on Instagram.
Over to Sophie – be warned, it’s a meticulous takedown over a long thread:
Arielle Charnas and her dangerous and bizarre behavior surrounding her COVID-19 diagnosis: A THREAD
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Let’s start from the beginning: ~2 weeks ago (3/15) Arielle posted about feeling sick (full disclosure – anyone who follows her knows she’s a hypochondriac) so of course, all of us immediately knew where this was going. pic.twitter.com/l0VhnYMmez
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Right away she “called up a doctor friend” to get flu & COVID tests in her car—literally the nurse came outside so Arielle wouldn’t have to walk in—and Arielle filmed it all for IG while plugging the doctor and his office. (Then she went silent for extra drama awaiting results.) pic.twitter.com/ytKYnN3LTx
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Rightfully, she was dragged for all of this. Arielle was accused of using her connections to get a COVID test and “cut the line” even tho her symptoms were mild and she’s not high-risk. There was major backlash for this across Page 6, Diet Prada, Daily Mail, and more pic.twitter.com/uALqRECfKi
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Also, Arielle’s husband Brandon posted a Volvo #sponsored story on the way to the dr. Arielle unboxed and posted a new Louis Vuitton purse as she was waiting for her COVID-19 results. Let that sink in. (Can’t find screenshots but here’s proof from Diet Prada’s comment section) pic.twitter.com/MdlmKvGcHB
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
On 3/17 she posted this. Arielle says she would be resuming her content as normal (“if it offends anyone or if I’m being insensitive I’m sorry but I’m doing it”) and said she would not address the COVID situation again. pic.twitter.com/ZHaO5tdcqK
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
On 3/18, Arielle announced that she tested positive for COVID. She got her results back extremely quickly. It usually takes around 5 days (source: my COVID-positive friend who is actually *miserable* bc of the virus right now) pic.twitter.com/zvnJqPOpCi
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
There wasn’t any further fanfare about COVID. Arielle was back to normal posting as per usual – playing with her kids, hanging around her nanny etc. Not sure why a COVID+ person wouldn’t completely self-isolate. I’m not a mom but it seems like a no brainer?? QUARANTINE YOURSELF. pic.twitter.com/OcpP039JTo
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Arielle says her husband Brandon got sick too. On 3/24 (6 days after being diagnosed with COVID) Arielle posts a series of Tik Toks of herself dancing. She looks healthy with different matching loungewear sets on and ~beach waves~ in each video. pic.twitter.com/Ixa3LDuG2u
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
On 3/26, only 8 (EIGHT!!!) days after being diagnosed with COVID (NOT 14), Arielle and her family leave for the Hamptons to “quarantine.” Mind you, Arielle is “COVID positive.” She literally LEFT her palatial manhattan apartment so she could get Hamptons content. pic.twitter.com/caMUrGFV11
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
She’s aware of the rumors and posts a video. She “would never lie about having coronavirus, that’s disgusting” & also says it’s not true that she used wealth to get a test she “called up her dr friends on SPEED DIAL” and paid $40 like everyone else! (No pRiViLeGe whatsoever!!!!!) pic.twitter.com/a51BwALFei
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
(The dissonance is wild. To be clear, she’s denying using her privilege to “cut the line” as she talks about the doctor friends she has on speed dial. I’m sure all of us regular folk have doctor friends on speed dial to give us drive-thru appointments for Instagram shoutouts.)
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
After the video, she immediately takes this opportunity to post an #ootd of her with the caption “fresh air.” People are big mad. Not only is she literally putting peoples lives at risk, but she’s setting a horrible example for her 1.3 mill followers (even if they’re mostly bots) pic.twitter.com/qo96FPklov
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Even with thousands of angry commenters, she addresses nothing. (I’m sure she’s actually happy to get good organic engagement from this.) Next she posts a picture of herself literally walking down the streets of the Hamptons. With coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/h4PAROhHcw
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
More angry commenters and no acknowledgement from Arielle. She posts this picture of herself kissing her toddler daughter next. (Remember: this woman is an absolute hypochondriac with both herself and her kids.) At this point, everyone’s just confused. This doesn’t add up. pic.twitter.com/HzqKaKvMOo
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
This is the best part: Arielle does an IG Live and viewers spot her nanny in the background. Arielle quickly moved the camera – it was clearly an accident. So why is her nanny with them if Arielle has fucking CORONAVIRUS?! This makes no sense. pic.twitter.com/BIwUOO7k7F
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Is she carelessly exposing her nanny to COVID-19? Or is it the alternative that I don’t even want to say?? I’m not sure which is worse.
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Apparently Brandon also made a tasteless joke during the Live too. Interesting comment from someone whose family by now has been directly affected by COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/Tansggss4J
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Arielle has a convenient excuse for why nanny is there. Poor nanny has to work even when she’s contracted a deadly virus from her rich boss. (What are the odds her nanny got a COVID test too?) pic.twitter.com/Pcn0hwQlJm
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Arielle has taken this opportunity to plug and do swipe-ups for loungewear sets. (Also – there’s no full-length mirror there yet. THE HORROR!!)
AC when she gets 10 Qs about loungewear sets: OMG SWIPE UP!!
AC when she gets 4000 Qs about her coronavirus timeline: *silence* pic.twitter.com/Cep9BJPoRf
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
For context: she lives in a NYC doorman building. Arielle says she called her doormen to tell them they (aka COVID PATIENTS) were going to come down in the elevator and walk through the lobby. Apparently the doormen cleared everything out for them so they could leave for Hamps. pic.twitter.com/rNkmgu1t7Y
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
I assume the family stopped to get gas. At this point, since Arielle hasn’t self-isolated, it’s safe to assume the entire Charnas family is infected, given her story. They just commuted from Manhattan to Long Island for literally zero reason. The Hamptons have 8 ICU beds. pic.twitter.com/CKmWnukaRO
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
It’s also important to note that Arielle’s Hamptons house is a rental. This entire infected family is just…contaminating someone’s house right now. Also, Arielle admitted she got WiFi installed yesterday. Exposing a Spectrum worker too, I’m sure. pic.twitter.com/yOGcIpD1Cp
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Many ppl in the comments have been asking her to donate blood as a “recovered” COVID patient. She said she can’t yet but she will when she’s “14 DAYS SYMPTOM-FREE.” If you’re not 14 days symptom-free, why did you leave your apt? You’re still contagious.
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Arielle’s family members who have followings on IG have been with Arielle in the past few weeks (prior to her diagnosis) and do not appear to be concerned. Her sister MOVED the day after the diagnosis, and only cared that the MOVERS wore masks so *she* wouldn’t get COVID. pic.twitter.com/FCSFuhTJr3
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Arielle’s now back to posting (in Chanel ofc!) as if nothing happened. No apology. No acknowledgement of the 1000s of former fans asking for answers. No accountability. Arielle flounced around NY “with COVID” in front of her 1.3 million followers. Disgusting, irresponsible, etc. pic.twitter.com/pNDsv9Qyb8
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
Also, I’m sorry if this timeline is convoluted and confusing, there are wayyy too many chaotic, messy and problematic layers to this thing, will keep adding to this!! I felt like I was gonna explode from the gaslighting and privilege and had to get this off my chest tysm!!!
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 30, 2020
This is a great point. Arielle held her daughter’s birthday party at the Museum of Ice Cream on March 7. (GOD KNOWS WHY WITH THOSE GERM PITS.) Did she alert those workers and every single person in attendance upon her diagnosis 11 days later on March 18? https://t.co/MjmxMSvkxB pic.twitter.com/OMfHi1Qi5j

This is so perfectly put. Be a Kate Kennedy in a world full of Arielles! pic.twitter.com/S3KZGnnZAa

My inbox is full right now with more interesting insights (thank you all!!!) and I’ll respond/share as soon as I have a minute, but in the meantime, please enjoy this lovely interaction today between a former Arielle fan/Cornell student and the one and only Brandon Charnas: pic.twitter.com/7Mk1jecxuO
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) March 31, 2020
Just an update here that both Arielle and Brandon have turned off their IG comments and deleted all of their Instagram stories from the last 24 hours (many of which included dancing TikToks and Brandon swinging around his toddlers). Arielle also went private today for like 5 mins
— Sophie Ross (@SophRossss) April 1, 2020
Wowzers. Can you imagine Arielle Charmas waking up one day, jumping on Twitter and seeing this thread from a random girl named Sophie Ross just completely assassinating her character, receipts and screenshots and all? Last thing you expect is for someone out there to put all that work in to categorically prove that you chat shit. Although I guess if you’re awful enough to pretend that you have coronavirus, it’s a good job there are heroes like Sophie around to dig a little deeper.
Anyway, Arielle has since put out this apology:
Arielle’s apology is out. pic.twitter.com/hvWRFYrHCn

Yeah I had to stop that 20 seconds in because she’s unbearable. Obviously no one should have to put up with death threats and constant abuse no matter what stupid lies they tell on social media, but it might’ve been better to just own up to the mistake instead of fake-crying on Instagram. I guess she’s the expert though.
