Australian influencer Suzan Mutesi has been busted leaving a five star review on her own book, Love Beyond 30s, in a bid to boost sales.
The 38-year-old, who’s been accused of everything from buying Instagram followers and photoshopping herself into private jets, was exposed by her nemesis Jamie Azzopardi in a series of savage posts shared to their Instagram on Monday night.
The review, left under her own name, described the book as an ’empowering pursuit of self-worth’ and claimed that her novel ‘resonated deeply’.
It claimed the fiction was a ‘must-read for anyone navigating their 30s with humour and heart.’
‘The book brilliantly captures the highs and lows of dating beyond your 20s in this clever narrative. The relatable anecdotes and poignant moments had me laughing, cringing, and nodding along,’ it read.
Azzopardi also accused Mutesi of staging paparazzi photos while she was on a date with British actor David Walliams when he was in Australia back in 2022.
Suzan last made headlines in July, when she was caught in another editing scandal after sharing some very glamorous pictures online.
The Sydney-based socialite took to her Instagram Stories to share two photos of herself strutting her stuff in the city.

However, the pictures appeared to boast some glaring signs they had been edited as the sidewalk tiles and drainage could be seen curving around her figure.
She also appeared to have changed the shape of her behind as the tassels on her glitzy mini dress appeared warped in an apparent Photoshop fail.
One of the shots had been edited into a black and white picture, while the other was in its natural hues, but seemingly still showed editing traces with the warped background.

It is not the first time Suzan has been swept up in a Photoshop scandal as she recently sparked speculation she had used Facetune in one post.
Earlier this year, Suzan shared a photograph of herself showing off her figure as she posed at the gym, but her complexion looked suspiciously smooth and glossy.
However, the difference could be down to a number of reasons, such as lighting and angles.

Suzan previously told Daily Mail Australia she has her iPhone to thank for all her Instagram images, as well as apps such as FaceTune and Photoshop.
‘Sometimes the main photographer [on red carpets]… will not bring their lights. So not all the camera settings are set to accommodate for a dark skin girl or other skin tones,’ she shared.
‘It depends also on the room. Sometimes the lighting in the room… like the room is beautifully decorated but it’s got shadows and its dark.’
Suzan said she often makes sure to use the ProRAW settings on her iPhone before having someone else take snaps of her from low angles.
She then puts them through apps like FaceTune and Photoshop on her phone to create a more enhanced version of her red carpet pictures.
‘It helps when you have a good foundation obviously. If you don’t look amazing you’re not going to get the best shot,’ she joked.
As for the dark smoky eye make-up which suddenly appears in many of her Instagram photos, Suzan said poor lighting is to blame.

‘That’s what happens when you have down lights. It dims your face, it doesn’t lighten it up,’ she said of her official red carpet snaps.
‘So when I brighten up that photo, it highlights the features and the eyes, but you can also go on PhotoTune and highlight your eyes in a way that heightens the liner just a bit so you see exactly how the eye is.’
Suzan revealed her favourite go-to editing app is FaceTune, which she will often use for event photos when there is poor lighting.
She said the Photoshop app also makes it into her arsenal sometimes, but ‘you have to make sure your photo is in a good setting’ before you edit it in the app.
‘Having those settings before taking the photo helps you amp up your photo because you can’t just drastically go from one thing to the other unless you’re just having fun,’ she said.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Suzan for comment.
