Samantha Brick is now a global "celebrity". All because of being an arrogant, delusional dumbass. Brick wrote an essay in the Daily Mail two days ago in which she claimed that her extreme and overwhelming beauty has caused her so much suffering at the hands of petty, jealous (and older) women who fear her gorgeousness. You can read my highlights from the piece here. Brick then followed up that article after she was soundly slammed right and left. Brick claimed, "If Brad Pitt were to say: 'Yes, I'm a good-looking fella,' then the world would nod sagely in agreement. But if Angelina Jolie uttered something along those lines, she'd be subject to the same foaming-at-the-mouth onslaught hurled at me yesterday." Beyond comparing herself to Angelina (FAIL), Brick is sort-of right: if Angelina (or Brad, for that matter) had said those things, she would be slammed – for being delusional, arrogant and for having a contemptible outlook on life.
Anyway, Brick sat down for an interview on ITV's morning show, and this interview is a GEM. First, the gentleman and lady (Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford) interviewing Brick are absolutely hilarious and on-target. But there's also a professional psychiatrist there too, and she makes excellent points about Brick's fallacy-filled essay:
I think the best points were made regarding Brick's arrogance, and there's a huge LMAO moment around the 6-minute mark. There's a difference between being a self-confidant woman and being an arrogant, superior, self-pitying piece of work. Whenever Brick's intellectual arguments are questioned, she falls back into her comfort zone of "Everyone hates me because I'm gorgeous." When given the last word, Brick says: "This whole experience has proven my thesis… Women do not like attractive women. This is proven by the thousands of vile messages on my personal email account, on Twitter, and on my telephone answer machine." You can read more quotes from the interview here, but really, that video clip is worth a watch.
