Summary

Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay talk about the social media battle between Wishbone Kitchen’s Meredith Hayden and Bon Appétit. Hayden’s popularity exploded as a private chef in the Hamptons, where she’d post idyllic “day in my life” TikToks. Now, Hayden is accusing food magazine Bon Appétit of possibly stealing her “Dinner with Friends” concept, which is a video series she started back in January 2024. From copying her series title to emulating her color scheme, TikTok, Instagram, and even Reddit are standing up for Hayden and telling Bon Appétit to do better. But has the magazine ever recovered from their 2020 racial reckoning and mass exodus? Or has the rise of TikTok allowed a whole new cast of influencers to surpass the once-revered food media institution?

0:45.6	The last update on all of that was that she had boarded a flight from Karachi, Pakistan, to NYC.
0:51.1	That flight, however, seems to have possibly had a layover in Dubai or it was via Dubai.
0:57.1	Uh-huh. And an employee for time. They posted a series of Instagram stories and a TikTok saying that
1:04.7	she was on a flight from Dubai to JFK and Onesia was allegedly on that flight with her. Apparently, Onesia was
1:12.8	allegedly escorted off the plane before takeoff. The pilot like got on the loudspeaker to
1:18.7	alert the passengers that someone was escorted for quote unquote security reasons. I mean,
1:24.2	this passenger even posted a photo of what looks like Onesia getting escorted off,
1:29.2	but it was a little too far away to actually make out her face.
1:32.8	Vibe magazine is one of the few outlets that is reporting that Onesia has been spotted in Dubai.
1:39.5	There are tweets and videos showing her walking around the streets of what looks like Dubai,
1:45.8	selfies she's taken with people.
