As a devoted viewer, I’ve been following the discussions in the Big Brother house, and Tiffany Salmond just shared her thoughts on something everyone’s been talking about – ‘pretty privilege‘. It’s really interesting to hear her perspective on it all.
Things got heated on Channel Ten’s show Wednesday night when housemates Holly and Abiola had a major argument.
The 27-year-old former sports presenter shared her opinions on the disagreement Friday, posting several video clips on Instagram.
Tiffany started a series of videos explaining why she feels she’s uniquely positioned to talk about ‘pretty privilege.’
Okay, so I actually did talk about this with it before, but I was coming at it from this whole idea of, like, deserved consequences – that’s what Holly was trying to get across, honestly. But nobody really understood what she meant, which is so frustrating!
Tiffany then recounted the argument between Holly and Abiola, which ended with Abiola angrily leaving and later bursting into tears.
While Tiffany voiced her disagreement, the other housemates seemed to understand Abiola’s feelings of being overlooked because of her weight. However, they quickly dismissed Holly, who had a different perspective on the situation.
She decided to contribute to the conversation by discussing her attractiveness, which she felt had both positive and negative sides, she explained.
What bothered me most was that nobody really listened to her; she was immediately dismissed.
Tiffany explained that both striving to achieve and falling short of conventional beauty standards can be deeply upsetting experiences.
She explained that experiencing pressure to either not meet or to surpass conventional beauty standards can both be deeply damaging, though in different ways.
When you’re seen as unattractive, you’re easily ignored, dismissed, and even mistreated. But when you’re considered attractive, all eyes are on you—and you become a target. People tend to project their own self-doubts and issues onto you, seeing you as a challenge or a threat.
It’s strange because when you’re struggling, people sometimes pity you. But when you’re doing well, others secretly enjoy seeing you fail – they almost want it to happen, and they’ll openly make fun of you if you do.
In her final post, Tiffany continued to support Holly, explaining she was bothered by how the other housemates had reacted to her.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve noticed people are really curious about what daily life is actually like for those who are conventionally attractive. It’s something we don’t often talk about, but it turns out how someone experiences the world can be quite different when you’re perceived as beautiful.
It’s interesting how people react with anger when an attractive woman discusses the downsides of being judged on her appearance.
We still aren’t acknowledging that women, even those considered attractive, can be targets of bullying, undermining, and negativity.
Tiffany spoke up after Holly shared on Wednesday that she doesn’t think being considered physically attractive gives anyone an advantage. Holly explained she used to feel she was judged too much on her appearance and was often labeled as arrogant.
Abiola disagreed with Holly, responding, ‘I’d rather that than have people avoid me because they find me unpleasant.’
She continued, ‘It seems like you have it so easy. People don’t judge you, and I think that’s a big deal.’
Holly replied: ‘I can’t relate to that. People have called me stuck up. I’ve been sexualised.’
Abiola responded, ‘I’d prefer being seen as sexually attractive than being ignored,’ and Holly countered, ‘But do you actually enjoy being sexualized?’
Abiola responded that she didn’t, and then explained her reasoning: as a Black woman, she’s also faced unwanted sexual attention. She’d prefer people see her as arrogant or attractive, even if it’s a misjudgment, rather than be dismissed as unattractive or unworthy of attention.
Abiola was visibly upset by the conversation and left the table, saying she was starting to get really angry and frustrated.
She retired inside, breaking down in tears as she was consoled by fellow housemate Allana.
Look, I know being a woman isn’t easy, period. But honestly, you can’t possibly get it unless you’re walking in my shoes. I’m a bigger, Black woman, and I’m a lesbian, plus I present pretty masculine. It means I constantly get harassed – people yell awful things at me from their cars, just because of who I am. It’s…it’s just a constant thing, you know?
‘I’d rather get catcalled than be called a fat piece of s*** out of a car.’
When Coco and Mia publicly supported Abiola, she became overwhelmed with emotion and cried again while alone in the diary room.
She explained she’d simply reached a point where she didn’t feel like chatting anymore, adding that she was content with her life and herself.
