A television worker claims she was sacked from her job because she was ‘too good looking’.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tv-worker-claims-sacked-job-9852314
Emma Hulse, 24, claims production firm UNIT TV, based in Soho, told her to go home during a shift because ‘she should be on a catwalk’.
'Maybe that company employs plain looking people and maybe if you don’t look that way they don’t take you, maybe I was a distraction.’
It looks like the 'too good looking' viewpoint was solely her version of events as the company claims that the employee allegedly involved in the incident was dismissed following a three month probation period.
So maybe she was sacked for other reasons.
Who should we believe. She is obviously intelligent because her Instagram page says so. 'I have a high I.Q. To me, most people are extremely simple-minded, dull, and hopelessly caught in the trappings of everyday, boring life.' (this can't be a real account, it must be a parody of some king, right).
Anyway, I know that you are all good looking devils who post on here so i was wondering if you've ever been sacked for being just too good looking?

It sounds more like she was sacked for being an irritating, supercilious nob end, rather than "too good looking". Looks fairly ordinary to me, anyway.
'You're dressed unsuitably for work'
'You spend too much time out in the ladies putting on make up, when you should be working'
'You swan around acting as if you're too good for this place'.
I doubt they meant she was 'too good looking'.

It does sound like it, doesn't it.
It will usually go something like 'Well, they said it was because I was always being late, but the real reason is because I was doing a better job than everyone else and they were jealous of me' etc.
Interestingly enough, though the story gives the impression she was dismissed just '5 minutes into her 8 hour shift', later in the story it says she was dismissed at the end of her 3 month probationary period.
Yep...as always there will be much more to this than is reported, but you can see the obvious angle the tabloid went for...and generously supplied with lots of pouting selfie's by the girl herself.
Dating/married to Helen of Troy, are you?
Her instagram description of herself suggests she's got a big opinion of herself, a small opinion of pretty much everybody else and lives in the land of delusion.
Her Instagram is very telling. As well as the above, she has only 1700 followers but follows no-one, which is indicative of a very narcissistic person, i.e. she post photos and wants people to follow her but doesn't care enough about anyone else to follow them.
Is that a piece of fan art of the 10th Doctor?
This is exactly what I thought when I read that comment, especially after seeing her picture.
Especially since most catwalk models look nothing like that - I would say if she were to model for anything it would be a teen-girls magazine.
Is that a polite way of telling her she spent too much time posing and pouting when she should have been working? And constantly drew attention to how 'beautiful' (
I work on a University campus and could go out for a walk at lunchtime and probably see 50 more attractive girls than her.
She was dismissed 5 minutes into her 8 hour shift, but the person who dismissed her had been there for three months so was the one kicked out by the company as they accepted that it happened as described.
The linked article is poorly written and doesn't make it clear who was on a single shift and who'd been there for three months, so I checked other articles for clarification.
For me, the fact that an individual employee who'd only been there for three months 'dismissed' her makes a big difference to the story. The guy involved does sound a bit of a sleaze with the 'you're too good looking for this, give me your phone number, and let's have a drink later' approach.
