YouTuber Venus Angelic under fire for Tokyo Fashion post

Yesterday, popular fashion website Tokyo Fashion updated their website and Facebook page with a picture of Swiss YouTube starlet Venus Angelic.

Venus Palermo (18), so her real name, currently resides in Tokyo and is known for "looking like a doll" on the internet.

She has previously attracted negative attention for uploading video tutorials with titles like How to look half Japanese or How to look like a Korean girl onto YouTube.

This time, she is accused of lying about the brands she is wearing and other supposed wrongdoings.
