The woman who claims she is too pretty to take a job...

[Ammi]

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’


..she is a very pretty lady, but then there are many pretty ladies in the workplace...

She looks like Carla Connor a bit from Corrie.

Nothing overly special about her...I have seen far more natural beauties who manage to get by in their jobs. The ones that are often "bullied and harassed for being too good looking" surprisingly have wealthy parents / spouses to live off...

..she is a stunner, Arista..but I wouldn't say she's too pretty to work..that's just silly...

[lostalex]

what a dumb bitch.

[thesheriff443]

that is such an uncomfortable looking pose.
she is no where near stunning, good looking maybe but not stunning.

[Marsh.]

She definitely looks like a "Needs makeup" woman. I bet she looks like Tutankhamun's corpse first thing in the morning.

Edit - Just seen it says she's 33? :eek: I'd have said late 40s, she's not ageing well around the eyes.

But she's an idiot, why is she doing glamour shots in a national newspaper if she's sick of people only taking her by her looks?

[Kazanne]

She's ok looking,I'm not a guy so don't know how they see her,but to me she is average at best,she's no Angelina Jolie that's for sure.

[Marc]

She'd fit in perfectly in McDonald's

[GiRTh]

She doesn't have any eye brows and she's wearing a ton of make up in those pics.

Is she related to Samantha Brick or does she just have the same delusions?

Yeah, she is pretty but she looks older than she actually is. I have a feeling that she doesn't get on well in work because she's a ****ing tool rather than too good looking

[lostalex]

There are much prettier women than her that do just fine in the business world. She is delusional saying that she is too pretty to work.

Actually I'd argue that it's harder for fat and ugly women in the workplace than it is for beautiful women.

[Jesus.]

She has primed herself to always be a woman on the side. Which man will start a relationship with her knowing it will cost you £2k each month before you get started?

[MTVN]

Well at least she probably earned herself a nice paycheck from doing this article and pissing off all the DM readers

[lostalex]

Lisa Vanderpump is way prettier than this dumb bitch, and she's a very successful business woman.

[zakman440]

Oh great, another Samantha Brick.

[GiRTh]

Lisa Vanderpump :joker:

[lostalex]

Lisa Vanderpump :joker:

[Wildcat!]

LOL! She cant be 33. She looks about 45! LOL :laugh:

[Lee.]

She's on This Morning shortly...

...so I've been told, I don't spend my days off watching crappy daytime television :idc:

[Black Dagger]

Oh well she's going in CBB in the summer then.

[Vicky.]

She doesn't have any eye brows and she's wearing a ton of make up in those pics.

I thought that too.

I have worked with women much prettier than her, and they didnt need makeup to look good either..

[Omah]

I've just checked - she's 53 this year, but, without the slap, she'd look a lot older ..... she has the "look" of Jackie Collins, who's nudging 76 in 2013 ..... :laugh2:

[Josy]

She's nice looking but not beautiful...she also needs a better bra if the pic where she's wearing the black top and leggins is anything to go by.

[Lee.]

She looks a lot prettier on telly than she did on those photos

[GiRTh]

I'm being serious though, thats one of the things that really bug me, bras are easy enough to get fitted properly.

[Novo]

if i am married to someone who looks like that when i am 40 then i have done something right in my past life

[GiRTh]

:joker:

I'm being serious though, thats one of the things that really bug me, bras are easy enough to get fitted properly.I agree. She's sagging a bit in some of the pictures but I didn't notice till I read your post. :laugh2:

[Vicky.]

I never noticed til I read your post either josy. Now I cant see anything else :laugh:

[Josy]

:laugh:

First thing I noticed when I scrolled down to that pic, but I'm sure she can sponge another few grand off her parents if she fancies a boob job anyway.

She's hardly stunningly beautiful but I can see her points, women do get jealous and men do lust over pretty women.

[arista]

She wants to go on Ch5HD Big Brother
her parents are rich

When she walks into a room every head turns. Except hers... because she has no neck.

She looked a lot prettier on TV than in those pictures.

I was also surprised how meek and shy she appeared (although I did notice her eyes kept flicking to the monitor to see how she looked).

Her problem is she needs to grow a backbone.

Although 15 minutes into the interview she said "I'm writing a book" and instantly I thought oh, now we're getting the truth behind it all. She wants exposure for her book.

I think her (affected?) accent probably upset a lot of people, too ..... but I liked it, and her, too ..... the "overdressing" may be her way of compensating for a lack of confidence, which wouldn't helped by persistent workplace and social media "bullying" ..... :pipe:

[michael21]

when girls say there are pretty there normal not the swines :bawling:

[Marcus.]

[Mystic Mock]

That woman is nothing special imo, and anyone that says that they are too pretty to work is an idiot imo.
