The Samantha Brick meme stems from a 2012 Daily Mail article written by British journalist Samantha Brick, titled 'There are downsides to being this pretty: Why women hate me for being beautiful.' The piece, which detailed her alleged struggles with female jealousy and men showering her with gifts, went viral for its perceived lack of self-awareness and narcissism. The meme template typically utilizes the original tabloid headline or her portrait, allowing users to parody the 'woe is me' attitude or apply the 'everyone hates me for being too good' logic to other absurd situations. It remains a classic example of internet backlash against tabloid sensationalism and extreme vanity.
