“Wherever we go, comments will follow.”
Carla Bellucci, a 37-year-old former model based in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, boasts an impressive following of over 100,000 on Instagram. Admitting to being a “globally controversial media sensation,” she has also earned the reputation, as portrayed in the media, as the “ugliest woman in England.”
Not long ago, she became a tabloid sensation when she confessed to faking depression to secure a free rhinoplasty. She manipulated her doctor by pretending to suffer from a severe mental illness. She confidently stated, “I longed for the perfect nose, and now I have it. I am indifferent to people’s opinions. Some may consider it exploiting the healthcare system, but that’s its purpose.”
Recently, Carla revealed to the Daily Mail that not only she but her children also face social media vitriol, which deeply disturbs her, as no child should be subjected to such hatred.
The Instagram influencer is a mother of three children: Jermaine, 16 years old, Tanisha, 14 years old, and Jayden, 12 years old. She had her two sons and daughter with her ex-husband, Cornel Nurse, a 41-year-old man who emigrated to the UK from Barbados. However, since each of her children looks different, they have attracted unjustified attention.
Jermaine has olive-toned skin similar to Mediterranean, Tanisha has dark skin with African curls, and Jayden has fair skin, blond hair, and green eyes. Due to this range of appearances, some suspect that one of Carla’s children might not be from her husband, or that she may have adopted one of them.
She confesses, “All my children have the same father, a Black man from the Caribbean. I am white, but I am constantly labeled a prostitute and accused of sleeping around. People wonder how these kids could be mine when they all have different shades.”
“We are moving in two weeks. I am aware that wherever we go, comments will follow, but my aim is to distance us from the locals following the attack.” The influencer admits that she started hearing inappropriate comments about her children when they were younger. People would point at them and say things like, “Don’t they look different?” One day, a stranger at Starbucks even asked, “Are they all yours? They are different colors!”
But things escalated when all three started going to school together. As Tanisha’s skin darkened over the years while Jayden remained fair, people began assuming that Tanisha was adopted.
“They would come home almost every day, in tears, saying they were told at school that they couldn’t be siblings.”
