Lucy Welcher: The TikTok Star at the Wheel (and with a Starbucks in Hand)
Lucy Welcher is no stranger to TikTok. With a loyal following of 80,000, she regularly posts videos on topics near and dear to many women her age—beauty products, style tips, the works. Her followers are used to seeing her—very frequently, in fact—behind the wheel of her car, iced Starbucks coffee in hand, discussing her latest finds and thoughts on the world.
The Video That Started It All
Recently, Lucy uploaded a video that celebrated a rather… relaxed approach to life. As she sipped on her iced beverage, she announced:
“I’m too pretty to work and to wake up at 6 a.m. for 60 years.”
That provocative statement was more than enough to make jaws drop across the internet. Many people who get up with the sunrise each day to put food on the table or pay the bills weren’t amused. The line between humor and privilege, as it turns out, is thinner than you might think.
She has since deleted the post, but not before it was seen by millions. The video triggered an avalanche of responses, as users rushed online to share their opinions—and let’s just say, a lot of them weren’t exactly warm and fuzzy.
From “Spoiled Child” to Death Threats: Internet Reacts
The feedback Lucy received ran the full spectrum—from eye rolls to outright hostility. Some labeled her a “spoiled child” or a “daddy’s girl.” Others weren’t so generous. Even those trying to be helpful couldn’t resist pointing out that her looks, in their opinion, were just average at best. On the harsher end, many took to criticizing her appearance more aggressively.
But things didn’t stop with just words. In a follow-up TikTok, Lucy revealed that she had received death threats along with a slew of other (let’s say, not-so-nice) comments. She clarified that the comment was meant as a joke and she didn’t really mean it. Known as Luluhasfun on TikTok, Lucy alone knows whether it was all just for laughs or a clever ploy to boost her follower count—but either way, she definitely succeeded in getting everyone’s attention. Meanwhile, whatever the motive, it’s clear that nobody deserves the barrage of hateful messages she received.
Is Influencing a Job?
On her TikTok profile, Lucy includes a link that leads to her Amazon Storefront page, where she showcases her favorite products from the online giant. If her fans buy through her links, she gets a commission on the sales. That’s paid activity—so, in a way, isn’t that a form of work?
