Andy King responds to his new-found fame (Picture: Netflix) Netflix's documentary about the doomed Fyre Festival was a jaw-dropping insight into what was billed as a luxury music event in the Bahamas, but soon spiralled into the ultimate shambles
Just when viewers thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, the documentary makers would drop another grim bombshell
And one particularly shocking scene soon wound up becoming an internet meme – and we're not talking about the picture of the sad cheese sandwich
The Netflix documentary was full of bombshells (Picture: Netflix) Andy King, a producer of Fyre Festival, admitted he was so committed to making the now incarcerated Billy McFarland's idea work, he was willing to perform a sexual act in exchange for trucks of water
King said Fyre founder McFarland told him, 'Andy, if you will go down and suck Cunningham's dick – who's the head of customs – and get him to clear all of the containers with water, you will save this festival.'

I'm like, "Oh my gosh… I'm really"… and I got into my car to drive across the island to take one for the team and I got to his office fully prepared to suck his dick.' Andy King has seen all of your FYRE Fest memes — and he loves them! pic.twitter.com/mCNgDoHpjW — Netflix US (@netflix) January 29, 2019 Thankfully the water was released without King having to do anything
'Can you imagine? In my thirty years of career, this is what I was willing to do
I was honestly going to do that,' he went on. As well as concerned reactions, the revelation also meant King was soon singled out as the unsung hero of the documentary – and many, many memes ensued
Now King has addressed his new-found social media fame in an interview with Netflix, admitting he had no idea what a meme was before the documentary aired

King continued: 'And then yesterday someone's saying, "Yeah you're a me-me." I'm like, "What's a me-me?"' He said he now hopes to do 'a lot of good' and give back to the people the Bahamas
Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland is now in prison (Picture: AP) One GoFundMe page has already been set up to pay back the caterer who used her life savings to pay her own employers when Fyre organisers failed to cough up the cash, and King said a second GoFundMe page is also being set up to pay back labourers who worked on setting up the festival
