Influencer Marina Smith recently opened up about being excluded from her friends’ Christmas celebration.

She revealed that her friends decided not to invite her because they believed she might tempt their husbands and boyfriends.

she said: “I’ve been banned from Christmas dinner because the women think I’ll steal their men.

“They’re worried I might tempt their husbands and boyfriends.

“The boyfriend of one of my friends told me that a WhatsApp group had been created and I wasn’t in it.

“He said that in the group chat, my friends were discussing their concerns about my presence at the dinner. Even considering the possibility of not inviting me due to the fear that my beauty and single status would attract unwanted attention from their husbands and boyfriends.

She also opened up about her breakup with her ex-boyfriend, which ended on a sour note. Marina revealed that after their split, her ex went as far as charging her for a café bill they had shared during their relationship.

She added saying: ” I’m very selective about the men I get involved with.’I’m not in a rush, and I’m not a needy woman.

“But that doesn’t stop Marina from feeling let down by her friends.

“Being single already limits my outings and trips with friends, because they go out with their partners now.’But now me being single and beautiful is an insecurity for them!

I dress to feel good… the problem isn’t with me….It’s with the men who think I am “too beautiful to be real”.

” I never made advances toward their partners,’ she said.’I’m a respectful woman, especially toward their relationships. I think it was jealousy on their part.

“I used to trust my friends blindly, but apparently, they didn’t trust me.

“It’s a shame because they’re going to lose the best friend they could have had.
