        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fashion influencer Arielle Charnas — who <strong>got flak for fleeing to the Hamptons</strong> in March after testing positive for the coronavirus — is now facing more criticism after a florist accused her of stiffing him on arrangements.</p><p>But she tells Page Six exclusively that she paid, and that the drama all stems from people’s “distorted view” of her.</p><p>In a deleted post, Water Mill florist Mark Masone accused Charnas of receiving five Mother’s Day arrangements and stopping her credit card payment on them two weeks later.</p><p>“This is disgusting behavior,” he wrote.</p><p>Charnas said it was a “miscommunication with someone on my team because I’ve never spoken to you.” A woman working at the store, Monique Wisniewski, said on social media: “Don’t ever lie . . . You spoke to ME.”</p><p>But Charnas told Page Six, “We called numerous times to confirm the order was delivered . . . My assistant put a hold on the payment until we could hear from the florist directly. Once he contacted us, we reached out to resolve [the] situation immediately, and the florist was, of course, paid for his service.”</p><p>The fashion blogger with 1.3 million followers on Instagram said, “The media cycle around everything I do has gotten out of control . . . People are taking anything that happens to me and blowing it way out of proportion.”</p><p>She added, “I think people have a distorted view of me because of recent media coverage, which may be why this person felt the need to go to social media, but I am not the person they portray. I feel I have to speak out when a situation is clearly misrepresented, and I hope people can see there are two sides to every story they read about me.”</p><p>In March, Charnas was roasted online after she used her connections to get a coronavirus test, and then fled to the Hamptons with her family and a nanny after they all tested positive. Charnas, who says she had medical approval to leave town, <strong>has since apologized</strong>, as has her husband, Brandon.</p>]]></content:encoded>
