Lisa Riley ‘so angry’ over fake Instagram posts claiming she’s selling diet pills
She is sick of seeing her name attached to fake posts!
Emmerdale’s very own Lisa Riley has hit out ‘fake’ brand-deals that claim she is selling and has used diet pills.
For some reason nowadays fame comes with the possibility of your name being used for things that are not true. And this seems to be exactly what happened to Emmerdale star Lisa Riley.
Lisa has played Mandy Dingle on the show since 1995, and made her highly applauded comeback to our screens in 2019.
Mandy’s known for always speaking out when she feels she has been wronged. And that’s something she and Lisa have in common.
Emmerdale Lisa Riley hits out at fake posts
Taking to Instagram yesterday, Lisa posted a screenshot of a fake sponsored Instagram post from a beauty account.
The fake post read: “Lisa Riley released her no-gym pill across the country today and says: ‘It’s the thinnest she’s ever been.'”
Along with the writing, the post contained two photos of Lisa, implying the left was a before and the right was an after.
Lisa wasn’t having her name attached to something that wasn’t true and so she posted the screenshot onto her own account to make her followers aware.

She wrote alongside: “FAKE FAKE FAKE. I have had so many messages this week regarding this post!!! If they have placed my name with anything it’s FAKE!!”
Lisa continued: “I’m surprised anyone ever believes anything anymore! It’s not true. Not me. It’s faker than fake and keeps being FAKE!”
She went on to encourage her followers to “block and report” the post whenever they see it, adding that it makes her “so angry.”
It clearly meant a lot to Emmerdale Lisa as she also shared the post on her story, once again making it clear that it is fake.
Fans show Lisa support
Rushing to the comments, fans began praising her for speaking out against the companies.
One wrote: “Oh Lisa. This makes my blood boil on EVERY level. Love to you!”
Another added: “I honestly don’t understand what people get out of doing this? They’ve clearly got nothing in their life and need something to fill the void. But what is the end result for them? I don’t get it!”
A third praised her: “GREAT to hear this from you. I saw something months ago and just knew you would not endorse it!”
“Omg this is absolutely disgusting! Some people have nothing better to do. Anyone who knows you already knew this isn’t true!” a fourth penned.
Unfortunately it seems the post has gone wide-spread as many were pointing out they had spotted it on a bunch of different social media platforms.
We’re glad Lisa has spoken out!
