Not the worst way to spend a Sunday… #goldenglobesfijigirl #fijiwatergirl
Like an apparition from Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House, she was hovered ostentatiously behind basically every celebrity on the red carpet, ominously holding up a tray of Fiji water bottles and serving up looks.

She's already done several segments on television as a result of her viral fame.
Most of the celebrities she photobombed thought it was a hilarious publicity stunt and attention-grabbing move.

And, needless to say, Fiji Water is thrilled with all the publicity.
We're so glad everyone is talking about our water!

But at least one celebrity was not amused. On Tuesday night, Jamie Lee Curtis took to Twitter to slam Fiji Water Girl for brazenly sliding into her photo after she intentionally tried to get her out of it.
"So, I specifically moved away from the blatant Fiji & Moet promotions," she wrote. "I knew there was a photographer poised and I moved as I didn't want to be doing advertising for either. The sponsors of events need to get permission from people before they try to take their picture with them."

From a business perspective, we totally understand her gripe. Still, free promotion aside, we wonder if she wasn't also a teeny bit annoyed at the caption for the photo, which reads, "Jaimie Lee Curtis was in danger of being upstaged by the Fiji Water girl." Oof!
