Instagram is one of the most important ways for model Veronika Rajek to draw attention to herself. After all, more than a million people follow her there. But the Slovakian has a problem: her account is repeatedly deleted from the social media platform. And the 25-year-old also has an idea why that could be: she's just too pretty for Instagram, she claims.
She is even so beautiful that many do not even consider her to be real and would therefore report her profile as a fake. "They think I'm an artificial intelligence or a fraud," Rajek complains. "I already call myself an alien - people just don't believe I really exist." That is discriminatory behavior.

Instagram model gets hateful comments
On Instagram, the blonde model likes to present herself in a bikini and bathing suit or while working out in the gym - if her account is currently online. Rajek reports that many users would accuse her of massively editing her pictures or having undergone cosmetic surgery. But it's all real, she claims: she doesn't even use filters for her photos, "just a tool to smooth the skin." She even had her breasts authenticated by a doctor.
Still, she gets a lot of nasty comments, mostly from other women. "They are jealous and think I want their boyfriend," she says. "Only women can hurt other women so badly."
"A lot of people are afraid of me"
Even outside of the Internet, Veronika Rajek does not seem to have had an easy time with her appearance. Her beauty makes it difficult for her to make friends or even meet a partner, she claims: "I don't think I'm perfect, but a lot of people are afraid of me and don't want to talk to me. People make my life difficult 'Cause I'm so beautiful."
Despite such luxury problems, she is fine, she reassures her followers, and also has a message for those who cannot necessarily understand these difficulties themselves: "If you feel beautiful the way you are, then you are beautiful too. "
