A GLAMOROUS TikTok user has revealed how she discovered that “pretty privilege” existed for her for the first time.
Bombshell @lexiihilll said moving to LA was eye-opening and she’d often have uncomfortable encounters with “grim” men who would treat her differently.
Speaking in a video that has racked up 130,000 likes, she said: “I never really knew how big pretty privilege was until I went to LA.
“Obviously it exists all over the world, but I live in Canada and it’s not nearly as much as when I went to California.
“It’s so wrong, particularly when we went out.
“We pulled up to a club at about 1.30 in the morning and we were waiting in the line to go in.

“The minute this dude walked away, the bouncer looks at me and my friend and is like ‘just you two? Go in.’
“The shade, it actually made me feel so disgusting.
