In the story, the camera pans to Hogle, who initially mouths an expletive before yelling, “Where are my friends?” She later explained the scenario where the golf beauty was scrolling through her Instagram feed for nearly 30 minutes.

“I am terrified. I just scrolled [through] my Instagram for the last… 30 minutes. There was one in there that maybe wasn’t an ad. But it was with a brand. All of them were ads. Where are my friends?” she yelled.

Hogle later argued a theory that the popular social media app got some revenue on clicks made by a user on its platform, before yelling out “Where are my friends” constantly over and over again.
