Popular on TikTok, Lucy Welcher surprised her fans with an unusual confession. In one of her videos, she stated that she is too attractive to wake up early and work. Such a statement sparked a storm of comments, and the video quickly disappeared from the internet, forcing Lucy to clarify the entire situation.

The world of TikTokers is rapidly evolving, and the variety of opinions and content draws the attention of many users. However, sometimes online confessions by celebrities evoke immense emotions and waves of criticism, as was the case with Lucy Welcher, whose account has already gathered over 17 million likes.

Surprising confession from TikToker. Internet users didn't hold back

Lucy is known for her videos, which show her driving a car and sipping iced coffee. She decided to share her thoughts on work in one of the recordings. She then stated that she was too beautiful to work all her life. Although it was meant to be a joke, things quickly turned out unexpectedly.

"Does it look like I want to get up at 6 a.m. every (...) day for the next 60 years?" "No! I'm too pretty for that!" she said, sipping her coffee.

Lucy did not expect her words to cause such a reaction. The video quickly went viral but in a negative sense. Comments under the video were full of criticism, and users expressed their dissatisfaction in blunt words.

One commenter wrote that maybe it's high time to try to grow up instead of acting like a privileged princess expecting life to fall at your feet.

TikToker under fire. Here's how she responded to negative comments

Although many people criticized her statement, some agreed with Lucy, stating that work can be overwhelming. Some defended her, explaining that it was a clumsy joke, but not everyone was convinced.

Lucy firmly rejected the accusations, emphasising that her confession was a joke. Nevertheless, it was difficult for her to withstand the wave of criticism, which led to removing the video from TikTok. Nonetheless, she continues actively posting on her profile and no longer refers to controversial posts.

One proof she was joking could be a video showing herself putting on makeup on her way to work. Judging by her posts, she currently works at a spa and has even received a promotion—instead of folding towels, she now holds a "desk" position.
