Influencer Brags About Her Easy Life In Bali On Twitter, Gets Deported Over It
Travel influencer Kristen Gray, who spent 2020 in Bali and went viral for a Twitter thread encouraging others to move to the Indonesian island, is now being deported, multiple outlets report.
The 28-year-old self-described “digital nomad” and her girlfriend Saundra Alexander, 30, are, as of Wednesday morning, awaiting a flight back to the United States while in immigration detention, according to the Associated Press.
Gray’s viral Twitter thread caught the attention of the local government, which claims she was carrying out business endeavors in Bali without having the correct visa to do so.
RELATED:
Kristen Gray and her girlfriend had been living in Bali, an island in Indonesia with a large tourism industry, for about a year as “digital nomads”
But her recent Twitter thread about her experience in Bali while promoting the sale of the couple’s e-book received huge backlash

Indonesia has restricted foreigners from coming to the country since Jan. 1 to control the spread of Covid, and public activities have been restricted on the islands of Java and Bali
Her tweets were considered to have “disseminated information disturbing to the public,” which was the basis for her deportation, said Jamaruli Manihuruk, chief of the Bali regional office for the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
A statement from the office highlighted her descriptions of Bali providing comfort for LGBT and being easily accessible during the pandemic. It also referenced tweets with links to her e-book, which had direct links to agents who were offering help to foreigners who wanted to move to the island.
“She stated that she could provide easy access to Bali through the recommended agency and offered the low living costs in Bali, that it is comfortable and LGBTQ-friendly,” Manihuruk said at a news conference Tuesday.
Gray supposedly was offering an e-book costing $30 and a follow-up consultation about becoming an expatriate in Bali for $50. “She is suspected of carrying out business activities by selling e-books and put a rate for consulting (about) Bali tourism,” Manihuruk said.
Gray, however, thinks she did nothing wrong and is being deported for speaking out about LGBT

“I am not guilty,” Gray told reporters after Immigration officials announced the deportation. “I have not overstayed my (tourist) visa. I am not making money in Indonesian rupiah. I put out a statement about LGBT and I am deported because of LGBT.”
While homosexuality is technically legal in Indonesia (except Aceh, a province with strict Islamic laws), there has been a disturbing rise in persecution against LGBT individuals in recent years, which international NGO Human Rights Watch labeled as an “anti-LGBT moral panic” in 2018.
A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that only around 9 percent of Indonesians say homosexuality should be accepted.
Social psychologist Benny Siauw personally thinks the way Gray mentioned Bali as a queer-friendly place is highly ignorant. “She was not aware of her privileges as a foreigner, with a stronger currency that gives her more safety compared to the underprivileged local LGBT people,” Siauw told Bored Panda. “Here, the LGBT communities have been facing persecutions and other forms of discrimination long before she came [to the country].”
“Every time there’s sensational news about LGBT, the homophobes use it as an opportunity to show up on social media and speak out loud with so much hate. Of course, at the very least this leads to unnecessary distress for local LGBT people,” Siauw explained. “It is a daily struggle for them, whether we’re talking about family or peer acceptance. That being said, every time big LGBT news breaks out, everything becomes much harder for them, especially in such challenging times like this pandemic.”
The psychologist said that numerous people have contacted him, expressing how sick and tired they’ve become to find themselves in this situation. “They already have enough homophobia to deal with in their lives. Nobody needs that hate in the first place. In a country where conversion therapy has been promoted, this whole ordeal might lead to further self-stigmatization … and we know that this process might also lead to self-hate that directly causes a lot of mental distress.”
“With all of these considerations, I really hope that media platforms, both national and international, would be more careful in covering this case. Especially when it comes to clickbait titles [about Gray being deported because of her LGBT statement] because it is a very gross oversimplification of the whole thing,” Siauw said.

I notice from the pic she wasn't social distancing but then maybe it wasn't needed in Bali? But encouraging people to travel ANYWHERE during a pandemic is stupid, and I can understand why the authorities are annoyed and you don't need to be earning money in the country's currency to be liable for tax. Sounds like they've probably been evading US tax too. I'm not sure why she'd say it was LGBTQ friendly when it so obviously isn't? What if someone went there based on this recommendation, they could be imprisoned or worse..

Deserved all she got. How dare she brag about how to avoid their laws of tax and talk about the country with such disdain. As previously mentioned, she flouted her western privilege so to enhance her life with absolute disrespect to the host country. Her being Black (as I am) has nothing to do with why she is being deported. Her show off style of being gay is so disrespectful to gay natives who struggle to be openly gay. She's a disgrace.

It's incredible to me that she is attempting to relegate the Balinese people to the fate of Blacks in America, and does not see the immorality or irony of her actions. I'm going to bet she complains about the way Blacks are treated in the US--gentrification of neighborhoods to exclude the people that have spent generations there, the "xxx while Black" indignities that are suffered on a daily basis, the disproportionate numbers of Blacks incarcerated--but would deny the same indignities are occurring to the Balinese. We have our "White Privilege" here in the US that she's not part of; however, she has her "Western Privilege" in Bali which is very similar. I'm not saying it is right or OK, but I hope she has a bit of patience with those that deny or fail to understand exactly what we mean by "white privilege." It's not racism; it's not being aware of or affected by things that BIPOC deal with every single day. Just because.

First, I did not pick up a LGBT vibe from the story. Perhaps I missed that. In fact, when I learned one was GF of the other, not a thought entered my mind at all, it seemed that is the way. As I read through, it appeared these young ladies were promoting larceny.That was against the law. Everything else was additive to that primary charge. If you imagine you are an executive of this regional state and you get a call there are people taking complete advantage without a worry in the world. It would, however, upset you more when your told to do something about it immediately. I do not think this was a discrimination situation. There were law breakers, and were promoting law breaking. Simple as that. You got to go. Wow, they had a nice thing going.

Indonesia is a very conservative Muslim country that routinely executes LGBT citizens, jails women for not dressing in head to toe covers, and has slaughtered about 1/4 of their own population for not being Muslim. She's lucky she's not in prison or dead. Probably the only reason she wasn't killed by the authorities is that she's from the US.

Yeah this one is a little rough. Just stunk of an influencer not understanding travel complexities. Yes, very inappropriate to suggest moving during a pandemic. I couldn’t see anything in the article that confirmed overstaying of tourist visa, perhaps she had an extension or long term? Violating the terms of her visa? Well, that one is trickier - tbh, most countries tax laws haven’t quite been updated for remote workers. I mean, if her company was American, paying taxes in the US, not doing business directly in Bali (only with overseas clients remotely?), though I couldn’t say if she was technically a resident for tax purposes. I could see her not knowing that she overstepped herself by collaborating with travel agencies. Seriously though, Bali is lovely but the past 8 years they’ve ramped their conservatism. At the end of the day, she showed clear intent to live in the country and not just visit. That alone is a violation of just about any country’s tourism visa.

Move to a mostly Islamic country then complain when they deport you for bragging about it being LGBT friendly? Sure girl, whatever. You're lucky you didn't end up in prison or worse.

AETNA website: "You are not allowed to work in Indonesia on a tourist or business visa — a business visa allows for a short-term work assignment or a training assignment, not for employment within Indonesia."

If one is going to live in another country and make money while there, even if it is online, one should be paying taxes. One really shouldn't brag about how well off they are in a country, or on an island, full of much less fortunate people. Whether she was trying to do this or not, it really looked like she was flaunting her wealth; in front of citizens living hand to mouth. To offer to help someone get into a country in the middle of a pandemic is downright dumb. She didn't stop and think her idea through. She's a guest in another country. What she did is like if you're a guest in someone's house & you invite people over that they dont know, without asking for permission! Its presumptuous. And she absolutely was trying to make money off of her Bali experience. I known3 things about Indonesia: it's Muslim majority & the gov't doesnt want Christian missionaries, they have a lot of eathquakes, & they are *not* lgbtq friendly. She really imbodied the ignorant American tourist persona!

This comment thread is pretty nasty. The truth is a lot of digital nomads live this way and most countries, including Indonesia, turn a blind eye. As long as you don't compete in the local market, they act like you're on business because the benefit to the country is that you spend money in their country. This is probably why she thought it was okay and referred to not making money in Indonesian currency. The reality is that they likely did get deported for most of the reasons she said said but mainly because that tweet drew too much attention. We all want to know how to get rich quick but we love just as much to see people fall. Pathetic.

US companies are getting anxie about having employees who live in other countries. All those folks who moved to places like Belize or Costa Rica and still worked full time may be in jeopardy. It seems to be a combination of possible tax problems for both he employee and the company - not paying the right taxes for essentially 'doing business' while in the country, and fears that non-US countries' labor laws may be more generous and more protective of employees, and that someone working full-time in another country could make use of those laws. The idea of living in paradise while making money sounds wonderful, but those darned 'details' can be problems.

*Phenomenally* arrogant, and ignorant. To have lived for almost a year in a predominantly Muslim country, knowingly breaking laws - local and immigration - and to loudly proclaim yourself as hard-done by? That is so amazingly stereotypically “American Millennial” it is gobsmacking. The list of horrendous behaviours - not just those which, oh noes, turned out to be illegal - is simply too long to list. And sadly, listing them won’t do our precious snowflake subject any good anyway as they would bounce off the multiple halos she has constructed for herself and her cohort. I do hope, however, that the immigration agents she has said she would link to do not suffer a worse (read locals’) fate unless she can provide written evidence of them responding positively to her enquiries on how to successfully breach her visa conditions. Their fate is unlikely to be a room in Denpasar awaiting deportation to an uninterrupted career.

Here we go with the cancel culture bullshit knee-jerk responses. Was what she did great? No, I can think of much worse. Maybe a bit insensitive/arrogant but you're all overreacting. You want to create this 'perfect' society where no one ever makes mistakes and their is zero freedom of speech. Humans are stupid and they say stupid things. That doesn't mean she is a bad person or deserves all this hate, as you're relegating her actions to that of a white supremacist by simple association of the fact that she pulled the LGBTQ/black female card at the wrong time. The way I see it, she had no other option. What would you do in the same situation? And the BS 'OH I would never do that in the first place cause I'm so morally superior' circle jerk is not applicable here. You are all just stroking your own egos of superiority and failing to understand basic human empathy.

Fact of the matter is, I can't stand most influencers as they typically are successful because they can get off the fact that they are a perfect 10 with butt implants and a bunch of plastic surgery. Which takes minimal skills. We're talking about a black female here, who is average looking at best, and grew up in the US facing the systemic oppression of both being a black female and being gay. Not an easy ride compared to white males by any means. And somehow despite of her averageness she figured out a way to make money doing something not everyone can do. I think this just paints more to your own insecurities and jealously in the fact that you're not lucky or clever enough to make a living the way she does, being able to work remotely posting pictures since you're stuck in an office cubicle or warehouse 5 days a week. Is she entitled and arrogant? Maybe. But if you look at her actual posts she is saying pretty reasonable things for the most part about the country.

I notice from the pic she wasn't social distancing but then maybe it wasn't needed in Bali? But encouraging people to travel ANYWHERE during a pandemic is stupid, and I can understand why the authorities are annoyed and you don't need to be earning money in the country's currency to be liable for tax. Sounds like they've probably been evading US tax too. I'm not sure why she'd say it was LGBTQ friendly when it so obviously isn't? What if someone went there based on this recommendation, they could be imprisoned or worse..

It's incredible to me that she is attempting to relegate the Balinese people to the fate of Blacks in America, and does not see the immorality or irony of her actions. I'm going to bet she complains about the way Blacks are treated in the US--gentrification of neighborhoods to exclude the people that have spent generations there, the "xxx while Black" indignities that are suffered on a daily basis, the disproportionate numbers of Blacks incarcerated--but would deny the same indignities are occurring to the Balinese. We have our "White Privilege" here in the US that she's not part of; however, she has her "Western Privilege" in Bali which is very similar. I'm not saying it is right or OK, but I hope she has a bit of patience with those that deny or fail to understand exactly what we mean by "white privilege." It's not racism; it's not being aware of or affected by things that BIPOC deal with every single day. Just because.

First, I did not pick up a LGBT vibe from the story. Perhaps I missed that. In fact, when I learned one was GF of the other, not a thought entered my mind at all, it seemed that is the way. As I read through, it appeared these young ladies were promoting larceny.That was against the law. Everything else was additive to that primary charge. If you imagine you are an executive of this regional state and you get a call there are people taking complete advantage without a worry in the world. It would, however, upset you more when your told to do something about it immediately. I do not think this was a discrimination situation. There were law breakers, and were promoting law breaking. Simple as that. You got to go. Wow, they had a nice thing going.

Yeah this one is a little rough. Just stunk of an influencer not understanding travel complexities. Yes, very inappropriate to suggest moving during a pandemic. I couldn’t see anything in the article that confirmed overstaying of tourist visa, perhaps she had an extension or long term? Violating the terms of her visa? Well, that one is trickier - tbh, most countries tax laws haven’t quite been updated for remote workers. I mean, if her company was American, paying taxes in the US, not doing business directly in Bali (only with overseas clients remotely?), though I couldn’t say if she was technically a resident for tax purposes. I could see her not knowing that she overstepped herself by collaborating with travel agencies. Seriously though, Bali is lovely but the past 8 years they’ve ramped their conservatism. At the end of the day, she showed clear intent to live in the country and not just visit. That alone is a violation of just about any country’s tourism visa.

If one is going to live in another country and make money while there, even if it is online, one should be paying taxes. One really shouldn't brag about how well off they are in a country, or on an island, full of much less fortunate people. Whether she was trying to do this or not, it really looked like she was flaunting her wealth; in front of citizens living hand to mouth. To offer to help someone get into a country in the middle of a pandemic is downright dumb. She didn't stop and think her idea through. She's a guest in another country. What she did is like if you're a guest in someone's house & you invite people over that they dont know, without asking for permission! Its presumptuous. And she absolutely was trying to make money off of her Bali experience. I known3 things about Indonesia: it's Muslim majority & the gov't doesnt want Christian missionaries, they have a lot of eathquakes, & they are *not* lgbtq friendly.

This comment thread is pretty nasty. The truth is a lot of digital nomads live this way and most countries, including Indonesia, turn a blind eye. As long as you don't compete in the local market, they act like you're on business because the benefit to the country is that you spend money in their country. This is probably why she thought it was okay and referred to not making money in Indonesian currency. The reality is that they likely did get deported for most of the reasons she said said but mainly because that tweet drew too much attention. We all want to know how to get rich quick but we love just as much to see people fall. Pathetic.

US companies are getting anxie about having employees who live in other countries. All those folks who moved to places like Belize or Costa Rica and still worked full time may be in jeopardy. It seems to be a combination of possible tax problems for both he employee and the company - not paying the right taxes for essentially 'doing business' while in the country, and fears that non-US countries' labor laws may be more generous and more protective of employees, and that someone working full-time in another country could make use of those laws. The idea of living in paradise while making money sounds wonderful, but those darned 'details' can be problems.

To have lived for almost a year in a predominantly Muslim country, knowingly breaking laws - local and immigration - and to loudly proclaim yourself as hard-done by? That is so amazingly stereotypically “American Millennial” it is gobsmacking. The list of horrendous behaviours - not just those which, oh noes, turned out to be illegal - is simply too long to list. And sadly, listing them won’t do our precious snowflake subject any good anyway as they would bounce off the multiple halos she has constructed for herself and her cohort. I do hope, however, that the immigration agents she has said she would link to do not suffer a worse (read locals’) fate unless she can provide written evidence of them responding positively to her enquiries on how to successfully breach her visa conditions.

That doesn't mean she is a bad person or deserves all this hate, as you're relegating her actions to that of a white supremacist by simple association of the fact that she pulled the LGBTQ/black female card at the wrong time. The way I see it, she had no other option. What would you do in the same situation?

Fact of the matter is, I can't stand most influencers as they typically are successful because they can get off the fact that they are a perfect 10 with butt implants and a bunch of plastic surgery. Which takes minimal skills. We're talking about a black female here, who is average looking at best, and grew up in the US facing the systemic oppression of both being a black female and being gay. Not an easy ride compared to white males by any means. And somehow despite of her averageness she figured out a way to make money doing something not everyone can do. I think this just paints more to your own insecurities and jealously in the fact that you're not lucky or clever enough to make a living the way she does, being able to work remotely posting pictures since you're stuck in an office cubicle or warehouse 5 days a week. Is she entitled and arrogant? Maybe. But if you look at her actual posts she is saying pretty reasonable things for the most part about the country.
