An Instagram model who claims she’s “so beautiful” people think she’s a catfish has hit back at trolls – insisting life is actually “harder for beautiful people”.
Veronika Rajek, 25, from Slovakia, says her Instagram profile constantly gets deleted as followers report her for being fake because she’s “too pretty” to exist.
Others allegedly bully the former Miss Slovakia 2016 finalist for having had plastic surgery – which she insists isn’t true.
“People don’t even believe I exist,” Veronika told NudeNewz.
“It’s pretty discriminatory that other women can do the same thing as me and I can’t, and I just get deleted because of my looks.”
The model, who is based in Vienna, Austria, says she’s been forced to prove her authenticity in increasingly extreme ways – including getting a medical scan of her breasts.
“I call myself an alien as people don’t believe I’m real,” she said.
“They think I’m an AI robot or a catfish online.
“People say beautiful people have it easy but I have it worse as people make it harder for me because I’m beautiful.”
Constant abuse from women
Veronika, who has 1.1 million followers on Instagram (@veronikarajek), travels the world creating content for her profile and claims people are “always surprised” when they meet her in person.
But the attention she receives online is far from flattering.
The model says she receives hundreds of messages from women body shaming her on a regular basis, with many claiming she uses filters to enhance her appearance.
“I get messages from men who don’t think I’m real but the worst messages on my Instagram are from women asking me why I’m pretending and asking for proof,” Veronika said.
“I don’t make any adjustments, shaping or filters – I use a skin smoothing tool but I think that’s normal.”
She argues that the abuse she faces is a form of body shaming just as harmful as what plus-sized models experience.
“Skinny girls are body shaming plus-sized models but I’m being body shamed too as they don’t think I’m natural,” she said.
“I get more abuse from women as they are jealous and they think I want their boyfriend.
“Only women can hurt other women so strongly.”
The loneliness of being ‘too beautiful’
According to Veronika, her looks have made it difficult to form genuine connections with people.
“I don’t think I’m perfect but I’m natural in real life, but people are scared of me and don’t want to talk to me,” she said.
The model claims that while people assume beautiful women have it easy, the reality is far more isolating.
Her striking appearance apparently creates barriers rather than opening doors – with people making assumptions about her or feeling intimidated before they’ve even spoken to her.
This dynamic has left Veronika feeling misunderstood and unfairly judged based purely on her physical appearance.
Getting a breast scan to prove trolls wrong
To end rumours of plastic surgery and claims she’s a catfish or AI-generated image, Veronika has resorted to extreme measures.
The model, who is a 36D cup in most lingerie brands, paid £75 for a breast examination while in Dubai in October, which included a scan.
“I was forced to do this check-up to get people to believe me,” she said.
“People question the naturality of my breasts so I went to a doctor to get a breast examination and proof that they’re real, with no enhancements, objects or scars.”
According to Veronika, even the doctor was shocked by the results.
“My doctor was really surprised as she thought I’d had surgery too and said I had the most beautiful natural breasts,” she claimed.
“I worked out so much at teenage years that I developed muscles which make my breasts a nice shape.
“I’m not trying to be sexual, I just have big boobs.
“God gave me these gifts and I want people to believe me.”
From ‘desk’ to bombshell
Ironically, the physical attributes people now question didn’t always exist – Veronika’s figure developed relatively late.
The model, who has been working in the industry since she was 14, says she was flat-chested throughout most of her school years.
“I didn’t have boobs until I was 17 or 18 and people told me I was like a desk,” she said.
“They were always making jokes that I was a giraffe with no breasts.”
The transformation from being mocked for having no curves to being accused of surgical enhancement highlights the impossible standards women face.
Whether you’re too flat or too curvy, too plain or too beautiful, someone will always find a reason to criticise.
Her strict lifestyle
Veronika attributes her appearance partly to her disciplined approach to health and fitness.
The model doesn’t drink or party, and works out five times a week, sharing fitness routines and glamorous photos on Instagram.
But maintaining her physique and appearance comes at a social cost.
“I don’t have many friends but I feel good,” she said.
Her commitment to her body and career has apparently left little room for the typical social life most people her age enjoy.
The isolation of beauty
Veronika’s experience challenges the common assumption that attractive people automatically have easier lives.
While physical beauty certainly opens some doors, her story suggests it can close others – particularly when it comes to genuine friendships and being taken seriously.
The constant accusations of being fake, filtered, or surgically enhanced take a psychological toll that goes beyond simple trolling.
For Veronika, proving her authenticity has become an exhausting, ongoing battle that most people will never have to fight.
The filter debate
Veronika’s insistence that she only uses “skin smoothing” tools raises questions about where the line falls between enhancement and deception.
In an era where filters, editing apps, and AI-generated images are ubiquitous, determining what’s “real” has become increasingly complicated.
The model argues that basic skin smoothing is normal and shouldn’t be considered dishonest – but critics counter that any digital manipulation contributes to unrealistic beauty standards.
This tension reflects broader debates about authenticity on social media and whether influencers have a responsibility to disclose their editing practices.
Women vs women
A recurring theme in Veronika’s story is the role other women play in making her life difficult.
She claims the harshest criticism and most persistent accusations come from female followers rather than men.
“Only women can hurt other women so strongly,” she said.
This dynamic highlights ongoing issues around female competition, jealousy, and the ways women police each other’s appearances and authenticity.
Whether driven by insecurity, genuine concern about unrealistic standards, or simple resentment, the attacks Veronika describes come predominantly from her own gender.
Her message to critics
Despite the constant negativity, Veronika maintains that confidence matters more than conforming to others’ expectations.
“If you feel beautiful the way you are, then you are beautiful. If you feel confident in your body and you are plus-sized, then just be confident,” she said.
“If you have had plastic surgery, just be honest.
“If you take care of yourself, you can be beautiful too.”
The model insists that natural beauty still exists in the modern world, despite widespread scepticism.
“Naturality is still here in this world,” she added.
The price of perfection
Veronika’s story illustrates the paradox of meeting conventional beauty standards so completely that people refuse to believe you’re real.
In a world saturated with edited images and surgical enhancements, natural beauty that seems “too perfect” becomes suspect.
The model’s experience of being deleted, questioned, and forced to provide medical evidence of her authenticity reveals the strange new challenges that come with beauty in the digital age.
What happens next
Whether the breast scan will finally silence Veronika’s critics remains to be seen.
Given the intensity of online scepticism and the ease with which people can dismiss evidence they don’t want to believe, it’s likely the accusations will continue regardless.
For now, Veronika continues creating content for her 1.1 million followers, working out five times weekly, and dealing with the isolation that comes with being what she describes as “too beautiful to be believed”.
Her story raises uncomfortable questions about jealousy, authenticity, and whether being extraordinarily attractive in the age of Instagram is actually a blessing or a curse.
