Dublin model Thalia Heffernan has opened up about the bitchy side of modelling.<\/p>\n

The Irish beauty, who has jetted to Australia for modelling work this summer, has revealed most other models aren’t that nice to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the most friendly environment.\u00a0The models don\u2019t really care\u00a0for you that much. A lot of them just regard\u00a0you as competition, especially if you\u2019re in\u00a0any way similar.”<\/p>\n

“The blonde girl might not\u00a0even speak to me, or the girl with the same\u00a0skin tone, or the same height,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very friendly, maybe a bit too\u00a0much sometimes, and they don\u2019t know\u00a0how to react when I bound into a room\u00a0and they are intimidated by me for the\u00a0wrong reasons,” she told the Sunday Independent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried being a cow, too, but it was\u00a0too hard.”<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old, who has been linked to One Direction star Niall Horan<\/a>, added that she tries to make herself focus on the positive feedback rather than negative comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will say how lucky I am, or that\u00a0they idolise me, or that they admire me,\u00a0which is nice, and I have to focus on that\u00a0and not the person who says a negative\u00a0that pulls me down.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a battle, but it\u2019s a battle that comes\u00a0with the job description. I\u2019m happy with my\u00a0choice, but it has chosen me, too. I haven\u2019t\u00a0denied it, and it\u2019s incredible, it really is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
