A model is showing the world a new perspective on “pretty privilege” in a series of TikTok videos.
Emily Adonna, a model from California, is opening up about what it’s really like to be conventionally attractive — and she says it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. In one of her videos she replies to a commenter who said being beautiful is “always a privilege” and “everyone would use it if they could”:
Just awful. No one should ever be in a position where anyone feels entitled to them. No always means no.

She continues, claiming she once even passed up a business opportunity because she was allegedly told she was “too young and beautiful” and it’d be “too distracting” for others in the industry. The model has also noticed a difference in how she’s treated from when she’s dressed up and when she’s dressed casually:
Emily’s video caused quite a debate of the topic — which lead to her making a follow-up in response to a commenter saying she should “be grateful and move on”. The TikTok user claimed due to her beauty she’s been asked questions in response to her harassment such as “what were you wearing?”, “were you too nice?” and “why were you alone?”, and this is her main issue:
No matter your occupation or appearance, it doesn’t give anyone a right to invade your personal space. It’s awful that anyone would have to hear these comments and questions…
In a third and final video, the model admitted she’s “tired of being pretty”. So much so, in fact, she got a nose piercing and tattoos she said are “culturally designed to destroy beauty”.
