So I first noticed it when I was scrolling through my reddit homefeed and I came across an /r/askSingapore posts asking about their thoughts on the Zoe Gabriel situation
However, the post was deleted but luckily an archive was available
Anyways, the important part of the post was this
But recently, a lot of videos are popping up saying that she isn't as "poor" as she claims she is. Dior products, Louis Vuitton handbags, grand piano, aircond in her room, a family trip to Dubai; it's something that strays away from the "poor" narrative that she painted. Some online heroes stood up for her by saying," poor means cannot go overseas meh maybe save up eh" "You so kepo for what let her be". But some had that "oh, interesting" moment. Depends on how you perceive it.
So anyways, I tried to do some digging but nothing came up: reddit threads, news articles, YouTube videos, all nothing.
But, I managed to find a thread on edmw talking about her
Going to the last page, an article from Malaysia in mandarin was posted 'exposing' her:

I was catching up on the KF thread for Dylan James Mulvaney. Shit gives me the same feeling: hyper astroturfed shit run by brands masquerading as feel good news stories.
"Lol look at this girl bragging about an 80 dollar bag"
"Wow, frick you, we at brandtm feel like this is NOT COOL. We are relatable, an 80 dollar bag is nothing to be ashamed of, and look at our hot new Spring catelogue! Use her promocode, 'PoorAsianGirlHumbleUpbringing' for $10 off your next purchase of $500 or more"
Shit's disgusting, good writeup fren
