A woman claims she’s been excluded from her friends’ annual Christmas dinner as she’s too hot.
Marina Smith, a 34-year-old woman from São Paulo, Brazil, says her friends are worried she will ‘tempt’ their partners during the festive gathering.
The influencer says she first heard about the snub from a friend’s boyfriend and learned she was deliberately left out of a WhatsApp group regarding the celebrations.
In an interview with MailOnline, the former Miss BumBum winner said: “I’ve been banned from Christmas dinner because the women think I’ll steal their men.
“They’re worried I might tempt their husbands and boyfriends.”
Marina, who has been single since early 2024, left her previous relationship citing issues with financial disagreements.
Although she says there are challenges to being single, she insists she’s not desperate for a relationship.
The 34-year-old clarified: “I’m very selective about the men I get involved with. I’m not in a rush, and I’m not a needy woman.”
Marina said she feels betrayed after learning her friends have excluded her from their Christmas celebrations.
“Being single already limits my outings and trips with friends, because they go out with their partners now,” she explained. “But now me being single and beautiful is an insecurity for them!”
Marina expressed frustration at the assumptions being made about her intentions.
She said: “I always respect other people’s relationships. I’ve never made advances toward their partners. I think it’s jealousy on their part.”
The influencer plans to confront her friends about their decision, emphasizing that she feels disrespected.
Marina declared: “I hope they don’t change their minds and invite me because the answer is no!
“At this point, I’d rather spend Christmas alone at home. Yes, I’m a beautiful woman, but that’s not a reason to leave me out.”
She also defended her personal choices regarding the outfits and makeup she wears.
“The problem isn’t with me. It’s with the men who think I am ‘too beautiful to be real,’” the influencer said.
Although Marina admits the situation has hurt her feelings, she believes the drama has revealed who her true friends are.
For now, she’s content spending the holidays on her terms, free from unnecessary drama.
