How did influencer Bobbi Althoff become famous? She has been accused of being an industry plant.
Bobbi first got her start in content creation when she started posting TikToks of her and her kids' lives in 2021. She garnered a solid following for her deadpan sense of humor.
But when she started her podcast in April 2023, it didn't make sense to some that she was able to get all these high-profile celebrities to appear on her show given that she had no prior podcasting experience.
While some could argue that she's just a woman who got lucky in the content creator world, others are skeptical. Many feel Bobbi's rise to fame was calculated and that she is an industry plant.

Per Urban Dictionary, an "industry plant" is defined as someone who "is an artist who has major/indie label backing their movement but presents themselves as a 'homegrown start-up' label to create a pseudo-organic following. They act as if things are miraculously happening for them based on their talent."
