The fallout from Fyre Festival continues to spread faster than that viral tweet of a cheese sandwich.
Hot on the heels of tell-all documentaries by Hulu and Netflix, the agencies of models who promoted the festival are potentially facing subpoenas.
Back in the days before Fyre Fest was revealed to be a con, A-list models were paid to fly to the Bahamas to film a short commercial to promote the festival. Now they're facing possible legal ramifications for their accidental participation in the scam.
On Monday, a judge allowed the companies representing the high profile models to be subpoenaed - which means they might have to reveal the payment documents made by Fyre’s organizer, Billy McFarland (who is currently in prison serving a 6-year sentence for his part in the fraud).
The ruling is part of a wider investigation into how McFarland received $26 million in investor funding before the festival, $5.2 million of which was paid out to the models to participate in promotional activity.
And while true Fyre Fest fans knew the models were bringing in the big bucks, the exact amounts have been revealed. Jenner made $275k in January 2017 to promote Fyre Fest on Instagram and draw attention to the artists from Kanye West's record label who were billed to appear.
IMG Models, which represents Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, and Elsa Hosk, received a low-key $1,214,976 from McFarland.
DNA Model, which represents Emily Ratjatowski, received $299,0000. UTA, the talent agency that received a cool $90k, and Soulja Boy, who got $115,000, are also at risk of being subpoenaed.
Of course, if you watched the documentary - or read our first person accounts of Fyre Festival goers - you'll know that no-body played, other than a local Bahamian band who were brought in to distract people from the chaos. Much like those poor violinists on the Titanic.
