Influencer accused of gatecrashing the Logies red carpet: 'Made a scene'

Suzan Mutesi has been accused of gatecrashing the TV WEEK Logie Awards red carpet on Sunday night, with claims the former reality star and influencer wasn't invited but posed for photos after seemingly sneaking onto the red carpet.

According to reports from So Dramatic!, Suzan wasn't invited to the awards show at all, and instead purchased a general admission ticket, which retailed at $99.85, to attend the event.

"Suzan was not invited. She was in the general admission and seated upstairs. I was working checking peoples’ tickets in GA and I was dead when I saw her and her friend," a source told host Megan Pustetto.

"She made up like she didn’t know what GA meant. She brought a general admission ticket and then somehow schmoozed her way down to the red carpet to get the shots but 100 per cent sat in the general admission area."

Another insider, who claimed to have been working at the event, claims they saw the influencer cut the line and walked onto the red carpet, despite not having accreditation for the carpet.

"She just cut the line for the general ticket holders, made a scene, and literally said ‘Don’t you know who I am?'," the source says.

It comes after Daily Mail claims Suzan was a 'pest' on the red carpet and walked "the wrong way down" in order to get the attention of photographers.

"She had no interest in interviews - all she wanted was her photograph taken," a source told the publication.

"After posing for all the photographers, she circled back to the start to click more pictures with other celebrities," they added. "She continued this trend throughout the night, getting snaps with people she barely knew."

"People were asking why she was even there," another added.

Suzan, however, hit back at claims she wasn't invited and refused to do interviews with media, claiming she left early because she was sick.

"I only took photos with Jessica Rowe, because we are friends," she told the publication.

Jessica commented on one of Suzan's photos from the evening, writing, "Stunning as always! And I LOVE having a pic with you beautiful."
