“I was fired from my job for being too good looking.” – London TV worker

A London TV company allegedly fired a young woman for being “too attractive.” Emma Hulse, 24, was five minutes into a freelance shift at UNIT TV when a manager sent her home, saying she “should be on a catwalk.”
The company admitted that the incident occurred and has fired the concerned manager.
However, Hulse said that she arrived at 9.30 a.m. for her shift, which was due to end at 6 p.m., and a fellow runner began explaining what she was meant to be doing.

“Then my agent text me that I’m no longer required,” she said. “I got there and spoke to the line manager and he asked me, ‘Are you a model? Are you not doing catwalks, why are you not at the front of house?”

“I was wearing a lipstick but from my perspective I was not inappropriate. I was wearing a shirt and trousers. I really didn’t think I looked inappropriate.” She added

The man then asked for her number and suggested they go for a drink, she said.

Hulse, who also works as a camera operator and freelances at other companies, said this is the first time she was sent home because of her appearance.

“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,” she said, adding that “within a creative agency you should be free to wear what you want.”

Adam Luckwell, the owner of the company (UNIT TV), said the employee who was involved, was fired after a three-month probation period.

“There were a number of things we were not happy with,” in relation to the former employee. “We decided not to continue with the employment and terminated the contract within three months,” he said.

“We felt he was a bad fit for us and some of the things he was doing was not in line with the company’s policy.”

However, this is just ridiculous and funny at the same time that “being too attractive” can also be a curse!
