Lucy Welcher, a social media influencer with almost 20 million likes, recently broadcast a clip that created a viral storm.
The young blonde, who admits she’s “the worst type of person…who cannot handle getting their own way,” is frequently seen in videos where she’s sitting in her car, sipping an iced coffee or boasting over a haul from one of her favorite stores.
On November 8, 2022, the woman, who was then 20 years old, shared a TikTok video with the words “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 f**king day for the next 60 years? No! I’m too pretty for that!” she said in the nine-second clip.
People quickly left comments, and many of them called the person who made the video “lazy” and “entitled.”
“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,” writes one TikToker.
“Someone’s entitled,” another blasted. “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 cybernaut sniped, “How about trying to be an adult instead of a privileged princess expecting life to be handed to you?”
‘Slandered’
After people commented, Welcher deleted the controversial video and wrote in a new post that she’s being “slandered all over social media for that video I posted” because people didn’t get the sense that it was a joke.

The TikTok star then goes on to read and correct some online stories where she says she doesn’t own “class vehicles” or make $100,000 a year. Welcher also says that she is Canadian and finds it funny that people think she lives in a mansion because her house is actually falling apart.
‘Remake’
Days later, on November 14, Welcher – who found the attention entertaining – shared a new clip, where she’s again seen sipping on her iced coffee.
Captioned, “Remake of the most hated video I’ve ever made,” Welcher repeats the script from her deleted “I’m too pretty” video.
This time, the majority of online users rallied behind her, understanding her earlier message was intended as humor.

“You’re 100% correct, getting up early going to work will spoil your good looks,” shares one.
A second writes, “This video and the first one gave me life.”
“You are too pretty for that,” writes someone else who loves pretty people. “Those are just the hard cold facts of life.”
