Being attractive isn’t always an easy ride.
An influencer mom shared that other moms judge her when she goes to get her son at school pickup.
Rosana Ferreira, 38, made a name for herself when she won the very first edition of the annual Miss BumBum beauty pageant — a pageant that judged women solely on their perky behinds.
Since then, Ferreira has attracted 153,000 followers on social media and now works as a model, nightclub performer and content creator.
But there’s a downside to the fame and beauty she’s gotten in her professional life.
“Until my son turned eight, I avoided picking him up from school or attending activities with other moms as much as possible,” Ferreira told NeedToKnow.
Ferreira has been on the receiving end of “judgmental looks” from other moms at school and activities with her 11-year-old son, Marcelo.
“Whenever I showed up, I noticed judgmental looks, whispers and even hostile situations,” she shared.
The single mom said that they would also avoid her or make “malicious comments” about her appearance.
“Some moms make a point of ignoring me, as if my presence bothers them.”
Ferreira shared that when she was attending a birthday party with her son, she was able to feel that some of the moms were uncomfortable with her presence as soon as she arrived.
“Some looked me up and down and whispered to each other,” she said. “It was so awkward that I decided to leave early.”
Regardless of what other moms think, Ferreira’s relationship with her son is great — and he knows what his mom does for a living and has a “better understanding” of it all as he gets older.
“I’ve always been very transparent with him about my career and never hid who I am,” she shared. “Our relationship is based on respect and trust.”
Being a single mom has added some weird experiences on top of her career.
She claimed that one man broke up with her after he found out she was a mom, while another was horrified that she brought prepared meals on their outings.
Now, she’s taking the time to focus on herself and her son.
“My therapist suggested I needed some time for myself, away from any male influence,” she shared. “I thought it was a good idea because it’s been hard to find someone who doesn’t complicate my life.”
