{UAH} Too beautiful to stay faithful

Writer Julia Stephenson mocked for suggesting she is 'too beautiful' to stay faithful to husband

A woman has been labelled "deluded", "shallow" and "embarrassing" after writing a tell-all article claiming she was unable to be faithful to her husband because she is "too beautiful".

Journalist, environmentalist and former It-girl Julia Stephenson penned a controversial article for the Mail Online titled: "The agony of being too beautiful to be faithful."

In it she documents her experiences of marrying young – aged 26 – to a man she described as "not much of a looker", only to attract a backlash similar to one Samantha Brick suffered in 2012.

She writes that, as she "blossomed" in her 20s, she became "fixated with the idea that I'd made a dreadful mistake in settling for someone whom I had mistakenly assumed was the best I could hope for".

Ms Stephenson went on to explain that, because of her self-proclaimed beauty, she was surrounded by adoring me who wanted to seduce her which resulted in her leaving her husband and entering into a string of flings, affairs and short-lived relationships.
