A young social media influencer has ignited a firestorm of controversy after posting a TikTok video claiming she’s ‘too pretty’ to work. Lucy Welcher, a 20-year-old with nearly 20 million likes on the platform, sparked outrage with her comments, which many deemed shallow and entitled.
In the nine-second clip, Welcher declares, ‘I do not want to work for the rest of my life… I’m too pretty for that!’ The video quickly went viral, with many viewers slamming Welcher for her perceived laziness and lack of motivation.
One commenter wrote, ‘Someone’s entitled… I hope you get humbled girl, you need it. Looks have nothing to do with working and it’s sad you have that mentality.’ Another chimed in, ‘How about trying to be an adult instead of a privileged princess expecting life to be handed to you?’
Welcher responded to the backlash by deleting the original video and posting a new clip, where she claimed she was being ‘slandered’ and that her initial comment was meant as a joke. However, the damage had already been done, with many viewers expressing their disappointment and frustration with Welcher’s attitude.
In a surprising twist, Welcher later posted a ‘remake’ of the original video, where she repeated her ‘too pretty to work’ claim. This time, however, the majority of commenters rallied behind her, understanding that her initial comment was intended as humor.
The incident raises questions about the nature of social media fame and the expectations placed on influencers. Is it acceptable for someone to claim they’re ‘too pretty’ to work, or is it simply a case of entitled behavior? Share your thoughts!
