A restaurant owner who spent $50,000 to cater for Fyre Festival has got her money back through a GoFundMe page.
Radio Times reports that Maryann Rolle forked out a significant amount from her savings for the infamous Fyre Festival, which was at the centre of a major controversy back in 2017.
Many people had paid for tickets and were flown to an island in the Bahamas for what was meant to be a luxury festival but it emerged that it hadn't really been organised at all.
Maryann was left massively out of pocket at the time because she had to pay people who had been helping her to prepare food for the event.
The whole saga is now the subject of a Netflix documentary, called 'Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened', and since that was released there's been a surge in donations to Maryann's crowdfunding page.
Forget what you've heard about the disastrous Fyre Festival — you've only been told half the story.
