It seems life as an influencer didn’t sustain these two women accused of attempting to smuggle hundreds—yes, hundreds—of pounds of drugs.

In June, social media influencers Melissa Dufour and Racquelle Dolores Anteola were on a roadtrip from Houston to Atlanta when they were stopped by Mobile, Ala. police, according to reports. Upon stopping the two, the police K-9 started going crazy ensuing a search, according to a complaint filed by a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations. Authorities say they found the SUV had a backseat with a “modified steel aftermarket compartment.” The vehicle’s floor was also lowered and the side panels of the car were hollowed out to create more room.

The report also includes that the two women had a record of drug trafficking dating back to 2022. Before being detained by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, Dufour was a traveling makeup artist and fitness influencer and Anteola was a music artist who goes by Rahky.

The women were sentenced to a minimum of 10 years to life in prison on federal drug and trafficking charges and five years of supervised released. They were also fined a sum of $10 million, according to the plea deal.
