Louise Delage was the perfect Instagrammer. The 25-year-old Parisian seemed to live the perfect life.

Over the course of just two months, she depicted adventures sailing on yachts, dining out with friends, exploring sights and shopping. Those post garnered over 58,000 likes.

The only thing is, she’s completely fake.

As revealed in a video, the account was made by Addict Aide to show how hidden addiction can be. Many times, it’s even glamorized.

“It’s easy to miss the addiction of someone close,” they wrote.

That addiction went pretty much unnoticed by the 11,000 people who followed the account, proving that things aren’t always what they seem, especially on Instagram.
