Even if you missed the news about Fyre Festival when it went viral back in 2017,Horror Archives chances are you'll have heard the name again recently.

The disastrous cancelled music festival, which led to bankruptcy, widespread money loss and a six-year prison sentence for founder Billy McFarland, has been the subject of two recent documentaries on Hulu and Netflix.

One of the people affected was restaurant owner and Great Exuma resident Maryann Rolle, who prepared food for the event.

"I had 10 persons working with me just preparing food all day and all night, 24 hours," she said in an emotional interview for Netflix's FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. "I had to literally pay all those people."

Well, her situation has clearly captured the heart of the internet.
