ScrollDamage Issue #007: Biebers, Met Gala Mayhem & Influencer Chaos

Yo — what even was this week?
Celebrity culture cracked in half. Influencers got roasted. And the Met Gala turned into an alien runway show mixed with a Renaissance breakdown. If you blinked, you missed half of it — but we didn’t. We grabbed the juiciest, weirdest, most unhinged stuff so you can walk into Monday with stories that sound fake (but aren’t).

🎭 The Met Gala Was a Beautiful Glitch in the Simulation

Forget elegance. This year’s Met Gala was visual whiplash.
Zendaya looked like a time traveler from a planet where fashion is a religion. Rihanna got her baby bump kissed by Stella McCartney mid-flashbulb storm. Usher performed with a crystal mask on.

Photos leaked from inside the gala showed:

• BLACKPINK’s Lisa eating shrimp cocktail next to Dua Lipa

• Sabrina Carpenter taking mirror selfies in the bathroom while someone peed

• Callum Turner playing DJ with a phone flashlight and half a mojito

It wasn’t red carpet — it was red pill. The Met Gala is no longer about fashion. It’s about flexing your ability to glitch the timeline.

⚡ Jaden Smith Showed Up Wearing a Metal Thought Spiral

🕸️ See on People

Jaden rolled in like he just woke up from a cyberpunk dream and decided to dominate. Black tailored suit. Chrome wire crown spiraling out of his skull. It screamed “I make music on a USB stick shaped like Saturn.”

People whispered, “Is that a headpiece or a signal booster?”
TikTok? On fire.

He didn’t walk the carpet. He uploaded through it.

🍼 Hailey Bieber Drops Her Soft Girl Mom Era — and the Internet Eats It Up

📱 Read on People

Hailey Bieber entered a new aesthetic realm: beige-on-beige baby influencer.

Photos of baby Jack Blues crawling in cotton muslin blankets. Hailey with glowing skin like she bathes in almond milk. The vibe? Organic formula meets $400 light diffuser.

Instagram can’t stop crying in the comments. Everyone wants to be a rich mom with nothing to do but post family-filtered reels and match your crib sheets to your aura.

😍 Justin Bieber Missed the Met But Went Full Wife Guy Mode

📸 See on Page Six

Justin stayed home and thirst-posted his own wife like it was 2012 Tumblr.

We get it. You’re reformed. You're in love. You have a skincare routine now.

Still, the internet screamed “OKAY KING” and ran the screenshots through 87 filters before reposting them with “this is real love” captions.

🚨 Peppermayo Canceled? Influencers in Bali, Customers Still Waiting

📰 Read on Pedestrian

Fashion brand Peppermayo is getting dragged harder than a Shein haul after payday.

They flew a bunch of influencers to Bali to do matching beach pics — while customers are STILL waiting for orders from February.

Reddit and TikTok detectives are airing DMs:

Meanwhile, influencers are doing coconut water ASMR and tagging #gifted.

The comments? Molotov cocktails.

🌟 BAFTAs 2025: TV Royalty, Pint Glasses, and Red Carpet Havoc

📺 See on People

The BAFTAs looked like a crossover episode between Bridgerton and Fleabag.

Nicola Coughlan pulled up looking like she solved the housing crisis. Ruth Jones was spotted balancing a pint on her head like it was a crown. David Tennant wore a suit that probably whispered Shakespeare quotes.

It wasn’t just glam — it was UK chaos with pearls and petty stares.

📱 Music Influencer Gods: Taylor Swift & BTS Still Own the Algorithm

📣 Read on Indian Express

Taylor Swift has 281 million followers. That’s not a number — that’s a small country.

Behind her? BTS members V, Jin, J-Hope… who are basically K-pop Greek gods with ring lights.

Their followers aren’t fans. They’re a global resistance movement powered by fan cams and serotonin.

Nobody does content like musicians who broke the fourth wall of fame.

That’s the freakshow, fam.
Share this issue with someone who would survive a Met Gala afterparty or flame a brand on Twitter for fun. We’ll be back next week with more chaos.

Until then: scroll safe, scroll strange.
