“So you have to make a choice now,” Carbonari said, ”‘Well, do I have housing? Or am I going to be homeless with my dog?‘

One of the influencers, Dani Carbonari, who goes by Dani DMC on social media and says she is a “confidence activist,” faced particular criticism for calling herself an “investigative journalist” in one Instagram video that praised the factory.

On Tuesday, Ms. Carbonari posted a video on Instagram saying she “should have done more research” and was grateful that people had sent her information about Shein that she had used to educate herself.

That video has since been deleted, and Ms. Carbonari did not respond to a request for comment.

Last week Dani Carbonari, a plus-size model who identifies as a “confidence activist,” posted an Instagram reel praising the labor practices of the wildly popular Chinese clothing and home goods company Shein.
