Thanks to the release of Fyre, a Netflix documentary about the failed festival, we now know about the real victims of this disastrous event (hint: they’re not the influencers). One of them is Maryann Rolle, an islander who runs the Exuma Point Bar and Grille and who was hired to cater the event. Despite preparing a 1,000 meals a day and pushing herself to the limits to feed the unhappy attendees, Rolle was never compensated for her work and had to shell out $50,000 from her own life savings to pay the staff she had hired for the occasion.
Last week, a verified GoFundMe page was set up on Rolle’s behalf. “As I make this plea,” says the page’s description, “it’s hard to believe and embarrassing to admit that I was not paid. I was left in a big hole! My life was changed forever, and my credit was ruined by Fyre Fest.” So far, the page has raised over $163,000 in donations.
