Influencer Jayne Rivera became the center of online attention after posting glamorous posed pictures in front of her late father's open casket on Instagram.
"Butterly fly away. Rip Papi you will be missed," she wrote. She also included several hashtags, such as "#ptsd."

As you may imagine, this was not widely seen as an acceptable expression of grief by social media.
I love when this joke I pitched at Rick & Morty continues to happen in real life https://t.co/HtcLh13T46 pic.twitter.com/tEdsWtCuUT

Okay, so, I have finally seen the worst social media post of all-time, and I need to share it just so y'all know how far the bar has been crushed into the ground: https://t.co/4jgf3rm8jm

Truly grotesque example of the how the internet encourages everyone to flatten even intimate or deeply emotional moments into digital self-performance. This woman is Instaposing in front of her dead father’s open casket https://t.co/R1vJfPPtNj

I saw this and couldn’t believe it was real and had to check Insta and it’s absolutely real and let me tell you I’m just about finished with you people pic.twitter.com/OCUozKIUQ2

Used her dad’s open casket & dead body as a photo backdrop. Narcissism. Lack of respect, of meaning, of real empathy. Absolutely shameless vanity. This is not an anomaly in our society anymore. https://t.co/90r0Ngx6cu

Funerals are generally considered a poor time to capture social media content, as evidenced by the Selfies at Funerals blog popular in the mid-2010s and multiple meme templates based off the idea of posing over someone's grave.
Rivera has since deleted her Instagram account, abandoning her 84,000 followers there, though she is still active on TikTok, where she has over 307,000 followers, and OnlyFans.
