A CLUELESS influencer has upset people at a Hindu ceremony in Bali by doing deep squats in skimpy gear near them.

Posing up a storm at the beach for a pal’s photos, her “ignorance and bad manners” were blasted on social media for showing she didn’t “give a f***”.

Bali’s beaches are still officially closed to stop the spread of coronavirus, but some visitors are still flouting rules, reports Coconuts.

It said that Canggu-based Instagram account @thecanggupole uploaded a clip showing the religious gathering feet away from the vain influencer.

Labelling the video ‘Ignorancers in the wild’, it quickly racked up thousands of views, and derogatory comments.

One replied: “The amount of disrespect… and f**** not given.”

Another said: “Is it that hard to respect a culture that open to everyone seriously! Come on f*** those squats.”

Others chipped in to say it was “disrespectful on so many levels”.

The amount of disrespect… and f**** not given.

And one dubbed the influencer and her pals “dirty white trash”.

Canggu is a resort village on the south coast of the Indonesian island, boasting yoga studios, hipster cafes and beach bars, according to tourist websites.

Balinese women in traditional clothing can be seen in the video giving offerings during the poignant beachside ceremony.

Meanwhile, the camera pans to the blonde beachgoer, oblivious to the religious ceremony, while performing deep squats close to a sitting dog.

News.com.au reports that the woman was just steps away from a Canang sari – daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus to thank the Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in praise and prayers.

One person wrote of the video: “Only caring about themselves.”

“This is inappropriate,” another commented, adding, “time and a place for everything and that ain’t it.”

Indonesia’s tropical holiday island of Bali could reopen to tourists in October, the government said last month.

In March, a 53-year-old British woman hospitalised in Bali died from Covid-19, Indonesia’s first recorded death from the disease, officials said back then.

Suspicion over an apparent initial lack of cases in Indonesia grew when a Chinese tourist who had travelled to Bali from Wuhan tested positive for the coronavirus when he returned to China in early February.

Indonesian authorities played down the event, with Defence Minister Muhammad Mahfud declaring in February: “The coronavirus does not exist in Indonesia.”

There have been about 600 confirmed cases of the killer bug in Bali.
