On November 3, Margaux Dietz, one of Sweden's most famous influencers, published a video in which she finds a man sleeping outside her apartment door.

As the camera rolls, she laughs at the seemingly knocked out man and lets her son poke him.

The video was met with sharp criticism and Margaux Dietz has not commented on the incident until SVT Edit's short documentary "Can we forgive Margaux?", which was published on Friday night.

In the documentary, SVT's reporter follows Dietz for a few days after the scandal broke and interviews her about how she views the storm of criticism she was exposed to.

"More free advertising than anything else"

But now the documentary is also met with criticism.

Critics believe above all that SVT, as a public service company, should not have given the influencer so much space.

"Has SVT made a journalistic documentary - or become useful idiots in Margaux Dietz's PR strategy?", writes Aftonbladet columnist Natalia Demirian.

“It is a very strange documentary.

More free advertising than anything else," writes Josefin de Gregorio, culture editor at Svenska Dagbladet, in a Twitter post.

In the comment fields on SVT's social media channels, the criticism has not been slow either.

"A good question is why SVT uses tax money to benefit a private entrepreneur," writes one user.

Project Manager: Wouldn't do anything differently

Sofia Manieri, project manager at SVT Edit, understands that the documentary arouses reactions.

However, she does not believe that SVT, despite the criticism, would have done anything differently.

- What we wanted to do was partly to ask all the questions that we and everyone had after the publication she made, partly to follow the aftermath from her perspective - to follow and portray how the drive, the debate, the criticism and the hatred have affected her.

That is what we aimed to do, and we have done so with journalistic integrity, she says.
