Being the self-proclaimed ‘world’s most famous living Barbie’ isn’t easy. But that doesn’t mean Gabriela Jirackova AKA Lolo Pink is going let the haters stop her from posturing on social media. Quite the opposite, in fact!

Gabriela, who also refers to herself as ‘The First Czech Barbie’, says she’s been dealing with haters ever since elementary school. Her transition to Barbie began when she had her first plastic surgery procedure at 17, and she’s been dealing with the jealousy ever since. As she explained to the Daily Star:

“I have been accustomed to hate, attacks, and mockery from people for years.”

My appearance, my artistic interests and my popularity provoked bullying even when I was in elementary school, where I was brutally bullied because of it.”

Well that’s not very nice, is it? Nowadays, of course, Gabriela’s haters mostly exist on the internet and involve people assuming she’s a braindead bimbo because of her looks. Which isn’t the case!

Nowadays, dealing with the haters is easy for Gabriela because she realises they’re just deeply unhappy with their own lives and are taking it out on her:

“In essence, it’s always a cowardly attack on someone who appears to be weaker, rather than a reasonable exchange of opinions and arguments.

Moreover, I am well aware that these people are deeply unhappy, frustrated and feel a sense of injustice.

They live under the mistaken belief that ‘celebrities’ and publicly known individuals – especially living Barbies – have no personal problems and everything in their lives is rosy.”

Hmm, I think she might be onto something. It’s all good either way though, because Gabriela has mastered the art of ignoring the trolls (aside from describing the whole thing in-depth for the Daily Star of course):

“If I receive an offensive or vulgar message, I usually don’t even read it, I block the person and within a minute, I forget about it.

However, I am shocked and even frightened by the amount of unnecessary hatred that exists in ordinary people!”

That’s the spirit! Block and move on. Not everyone can be a real life Barbie with multiple nicknames and 135k followers on Instagram, but that’s not Gabriela’s problem. She took the initiative to spend tens of thousands of pounds on plastic surgery and made it happen. Don’t hate, appreciate.
