Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis has been the victim of internet trolls this week as she took to Instagram on Saturday and posted an image of a homeless woman. The photo taken in Paris shows a homeless woman reading a copy of Vogue Magazine. The photo posted by Elisabeth was captioned 'Paris is full of surprises.... and @voguemagazine readers even in unexpected corners!'
People took to Instagram to call her 'cruel' and 'tasteless', within five hours of posting it the editor had deleted it. The 32 year old responded to the criticisms she received, asking 'Why cruel? The person to me is as dignified as anyone else!'
Personally I think people took the post too seriously and shouldn't have taken offence. I think Elisabeth was just innocently posting a photo of readers of her magazine. She was in turn actually showing that it is a magazine for anyone, all different social classes and backgrounds - even the homeless. The criticisms towards her would have been more suited if she had commented negatively on the homeless woman reading the magazine. However she was in fact doing the opposite, promoting the magazine as a versatile read.
