An online personality stirred up a heated debate on social media after posting a TikTok video claiming she’s “too attractive” for the daily grind of a typical job.
Critics labeled her as “shallow” and “entitled,” sparking outrage over the implication that work is only for less attractive individuals.
Read on to find out more about Lucy Welcher’s contentious post!
Lucy Welcher, a social media influencer with nearly 20 million likes, recently shared a video that went viral.
The young blonde, who describes herself as “the worst type of person…who cannot handle not getting her way,” is often featured in videos lounging in her car, sipping iced coffee, or showing off her latest shopping hauls.
On November 8, 2022, the then 20-year-old posted a TikTok video with the caption, “Not my thing [laughing emoji] #working #scam.”
“I do not want to work for the rest of my life. Does it look like I want to get up at 6 a.m. every day for the next 60 years? No! I’m too pretty for that!” she exclaimed in the nine-second clip.
The reaction was swift, with many viewers criticizing her as “lazy” and “entitled.”
“I wish I had your confidence, the same confidence to feel like I’m better looking than I actually am. God, you people are so shallow and in love with yourselves,” one TikTok user commented.
“Someone’s entitled,” another wrote. “I hope you get humbled, girl. You need it. Looks have nothing to do with working, and it’s sad you have that mentality.”
A third commenter added, “How about trying to be an adult instead of a privileged princess expecting life to be handed to you?”
‘Slandered’ In response to the backlash, Welcher deleted the controversial clip and posted a new video explaining that people misunderstood it as “a joke.”
With a touch of sarcasm, the TikTok star addressed and corrected some online claims, denying she owned luxury cars or made $100,000 annually. She also revealed she is Canadian and humorously stated that the idea of her living in a mansion is laughable since her house is “literally falling apart.”
‘Remake’ A few days later, on November 14, Welcher, finding the situation amusing, posted another video where she’s once again seen sipping her iced coffee.
Captioned, “Remake of the most hated video I’ve ever made,” Welcher repeated the script from her deleted “I’m too pretty” video.
This time, most viewers appreciated the humor in her message.
“You’re 100% correct, getting up early going to work will spoil your good looks,” one user commented.
“This video and the first one gave me life,” another shared.
A third user, supporting her, wrote, “You are too pretty for that. Those are just the hard cold facts of life.”
