An influencer has started taking shooting lessons in a bid to “protect herself” for being “too beautiful”.
Influencer Tyffany Santos has hit headlines in the past year after doing a partially nude shoot outside a church during the Olympics and riding the tube in nothing but body paint.
The 27-year-old has 237,000 dedicated followers on Instagram but reveals that being pretty and popular comes at a steep price.

The model worries that jealous wives might “come after” her.
“Being too beautiful brings a lot of risks,” Tyffany, who is originally from Brazil but lives in London, told Need To Know.
“It has its advantages but I feel I need to protect myself.
“Being too pretty shouldn’t be a curse but unfortunately it’s something that attracts looks and, sometimes, unwanted situations.
“I need to be prepared, just in case one of the wives come after me.
“These days, it’s not enough just to be beautiful – you also need to be smart.
“People don’t understand that being so beautiful also has its challenges.”
Tyffany also claims to have been targeted by an online stalker in the past.
She said: “Receiving obsessive and threatening messages from someone I don’t even know was frightening.
“It made me realise that I need to be even more vigilant and prepared for any situation, both online and in real life.
“I can’t afford to be careless, especially when people like that might be lurking [around].
“Every step I take is carefully planned.
“The world can be a dangerous place, especially for someone who stands out as much as I do.”
Although she has her concerns, Tyffany says she won’t stop doing what she loves including sharing saucy content with her fans.
She said: “I like doing different things and surprising people.
“I think that’s what makes my work so fun and special.
“I can sell my content, explore my sensuality, but I’m still a woman of principles – beautiful and demure at home.
“People need to understand that my profession doesn’t define who I am as a person.”
