São Paulo, Brazil: A 34-year-old model and former Miss Bumbum titleholder, Marina Smith, claims she was excluded from a Christmas dinner with friends due to concerns about her appearance.

According to Smith, her friends feared her presence might attract the attention of their husbands and boyfriends, a report by The Star revealed. “I’ve been banned from Christmas dinner because the women think I’ll steal their men,” Smith told NeedToKnow. “They’re worried I might tempt their husbands and boyfriends.”

Smith, who rose to fame after winning the Miss Bumbum contest, denied ever making advances toward her friends’ partners. Defending her style, she said, “I dress to feel good. The problem isn’t with me.” She added that her friends’ insecurities were causing them to forfeit a valuable friendship. “They’re missing out on having the best friend they could have had,” she said.

Christmas dinner, not an isolated incident

Smith’s experience echoes similar stories from other women who say their beauty has led to social rejection. Sabrina Low, a 23-year-old social media influencer, recounted being removed from a friend’s bridal party due to concerns over her appearance.

“The bride explained that she was worried I might attract too much attention because of my slim frame,” Low told The New Post. She added that her exclusion was discussed in a WhatsApp group she wasn’t part of, as revealed by the groom.

Shye Lee, 29, from Florida, shared her own struggles with being judged solely on her looks. “People treat you much differently overall,” Lee said. “They don’t judge you for your actions; they judge you just from your appearance.”

Navigating friendships as a single woman

For Smith, the exclusion from social events has been especially painful as a single woman. She explained that many of her friends’ outings now involve their partners, leaving her already limited in her social interactions. “Being single already limits my outings and trips with friends because they go out with their partners now,” Smith said. “But now, being single and beautiful has become an insecurity for them.”

Despite frequently showcasing her div in bold and stylish outfits, Smith insists her intention has never been to provoke or attract her friends’ partners. “The problem isn’t with me,” she reiterated. Smith’s story highlights an ongoing debate about societal perceptions of beauty and the impact such perceptions have on relationships and social dynamics.
