AN AWARD-WINNING entrepreneur has said women should not have to be “pretty to be taken seriously” after an image of her was Photoshopped by an online troll. Lucy Hughes, who owns sustainability company MarinaTex, was shocked when a heavily edited image of her was shared on social media in an apparent effort to improve her appearance. The altered image, which showed Lucy with a full face of make-up and lighter hair, had been shared by Twitter account Dreamzone Magazine in response to her tweet about International Women’s Day.
Lucy took a screenshot of the now deleted tweets that said she looked pretty and smart in the edited image
