Laura Fernee pictured above, a 33yr old says her good looks
are so powerful they are ruining her life. She said she has attracted unwanted
attention from both male and female colleagues. Because of this her parents pay
for her £2,000 a month in rent and bills for her flat in Notting Hill, credit
cards, and designer clothes and handbags.
Here is how the UK Daily mail reported it;
Beauty is usually seen as a blessing. But for some, it would
seem, it can be a curse. Laura Fernee says her good looks are so powerful they
are ruining her life – and have forced her to quit her job. The 33-year-old
science graduate says her slim figure and pretty face attracted unwanted attention
from her male colleagues. She also claims she has been ostracised by other
women in the workplace who are jealous of her beauty.
Miss Fernee now lives off her wealthy parents after quitting
her £30,000 job in scientific research two years ago. She said her appearance
meant she was constantly harassed and bullied, and has decided work ‘just isn’t
for her’.
Yesterday, she said: ‘I’m not lazy and I’m no bimbo. The
truth is my good looks have caused massive problems for me when it comes to
employment, so I’ve made the decision that employment just isn’t for me at the
moment. It’s not my fault … I can’t help the way I look
‘Male colleagues were only interested in me for how I
looked. I wanted them to recognise my achievements and my professionalism but
all they saw was my face and body.’ She said men left ‘romantic gifts’ on her
desk and she was ‘constantly asked out’, which she found ‘sleazy’. ‘Even when I
was in a laboratory in scrubs with no make-up they still came on to me because
of my natural attractiveness. There was nothing I could do to stop it,’ she
added.
Miss Fernee studied science and medical research to
doctorate level and began working in a laboratory in 2008. But she said she was
forced to quit three years later because of the treatment she received.
She said: ‘they [other women] assumed because I was pretty,
I was stupid, so didn’t take me seriously at first and, because of their own
insecurities, were jealous of my looks. ‘Then when they realised I was very
good at my job, possibly better than them, they hated me even more.’
Miss Fernee’s parents – Catherine, 65, and Alan, 70 –
inherited money from Laura’s grandfather, and now pay £2,000 a month in rent
and bills for her flat in Notting Hill, London, as well as picking up her
credit card payments. They also shell out £1,500 a month for her designer
clothes, shoes and handbags, and £700 on haircuts. Miss Fernee pays £80 a week
to work out at the gym and spends £1,000 a month on socialising.
She said her critics were ‘underestimating just what a curse
good looks can be in the workplace’. Make she show nigeria first come try this one, lol....
