An influencer stirred up a storm online with a TikTok post declaring she’s “too pretty” for the daily grind of work. Many people were furious, calling her “shallow” and “entitled,” arguing that work isn’t just for those considered less attractive.
Let’s dive into Lucy Welcher’s controversial post that went viral!
Lucy Welcher, a social media star with nearly 20 million likes, posted a video that caught everyone’s attention. The 20-year-old, known for her carefree lifestyle, often shares clips of herself in her car, sipping iced coffee or showing off her latest shopping haul.
On November 8, 2022, Lucy posted a TikTok video with the caption, “Not my thing [laughing emoji] #working #scam.” In the short nine-second clip, she said, “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 f**king day for the next 60 years? No! I’m too pretty for that!”
Viewers were quick to react, with many calling her “lazy” and “entitled.”
One TikToker commented, “Boy 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.”
Another person added, “Someone’s entitled. I hope you get humbled, girl. Looks have nothing to do with working, and it’s sad you have that mentality.”
A third user wrote, “How about trying to be an adult instead of a privileged princess expecting life to be handed to you?”
‘Slandered’ Response
Lucy, who said people missed the joke, quickly deleted the clip and posted a new video explaining she was being “slandered all over social media.” In this new post, laced with sarcasm, she addressed some of the online stories, denying claims like owning “class vehicles” or making $100,000 a year.
She also mentioned she’s Canadian and found the idea that she lives in a mansion “hilarious…because my house is literally falling apart.”

‘Remake’
On November 14, Lucy, amused by the attention, shared a new clip, once again sipping her iced coffee. This video was captioned, “Remake of the most hated video I’ve ever made,” where she repeated her “I’m too pretty” script.
This time, most people seemed to get the humor, supporting her message.
One viewer said, “You’re 100% correct, getting up early going to work will spoil your good looks.”

Girl, you ain’t that pretty. So either find a rich husband, or get a job like the rest of the adult population.
