There are fewer people on the internet more divisive than YouTube star and resident beauty guru Nikita Dragun. She has consistently become involved in a whole host of scandals during her short time on the platform, with the most recent one being her involvement with TikToker Vinnie Hacker. Many quickly assumed the pair were dating, which Hacker quickly dispelled. Now she\u2019s done it again by claiming that high fashion brand Valentino shut their store just for her, when that isn\u2019t quite what happened\u2026 Nikita Dragun caught lying about Valentino visit On May 11, Nikita posted a story to her Instagram claiming that designer fashion titans Valentino closed their Beverly Hills store solely for her visit. Seen strolling through the branch\u2019s glittering silver corridors, the story states \u201c@masionvalentino shutting down the store for me and treating me to a shopping spree has me acting up!!\u201d However, the internet began to suspect her claims pretty quickly, and went digging in an effort to catch out the guru.
