The story of lizzy velazquez, a woman with a rare disease. The rules of life from the scariest woman in the world The scariest woman in the world lizzie

Once Lizzie Velazquez found in her mailbox a link to a short video called "The Scariest Woman in the World." The video has collected over 4 million views and thousands of comments - mostly nasty. Lizzie was on the video - only 8 seconds.

“Lord, how she lives, with such and such a mug,” people wrote. “Lizzy, kill yourself,” they advised. "How can I uncover this?"

Lizzie was born with an unusual syndrome - her body does not metabolize fats. In order not to die, she needs to eat every 15 minutes. Now her height is 152 cm, and her weight is only 25 kg. She is blind in one eye. Her body is so fragile that any disease can be fatal for her.

When she was born, her parents were told that the girl would not be able to walk, would not speak. She is a freak and will never achieve anything in her life. "You'd better refuse!" - They didn’t refuse. Parents took Lizzie home and raised like an ordinary child. V kindergarten she realized that she was different from other children. But it didn’t become a tragedy. She knew how to laugh, she was a ringleader, she participated in all children's activities and holidays. Imagine Lizzie - as a cheerleader - at the top of the pyramid 🙂 With a smile from ear to ear.

Lizzie with her family

A serious crisis hit when Lizzie was 18. That's when she got that video. To say that she felt bad is to say nothing. She felt humiliated. She felt like a freak. First time in life.

“I had a choice,” she says. Become happy or unstuck and admit defeat. I chose the first one. This is reasonable, right? Anyone wants to be happy!

Lizzie promised herself 4 things: she will graduate from college, write a book, become a motivational speaker, and have a big family. Lizzie is now 24 years old. She received her diploma, her third book is coming out soon, she speaks at conferences and seminars. There is no family yet. “But I'm still so young,” says Lizzie. And he smiles.

Lizzie is unique. In all senses. Some thoughts. From her.

WITH good people real bullshit can be happening. If something bad happens, it's easy to start self-flagellation: is it my fault? I did something wrong. This is a punishment. But no! There is no need to prove to yourself and others that it is not your fault and to make excuses. Just accept the fact that sometimes bad things happen. Not fair? - Certainly! Shit happens! - that's that.

Doctors don't know how to cure Lizzie

Your value is not measured by what others say and think about you. When I received that video, says Lizzie, in addition to humiliation and sadness, I experienced a fit of indignation. The people who made the video and those who left dirty and dirty comments knew absolutely nothing about me. What kind of person I am. What I can. What I feel. I AM - good man... I know I can do a lot for other people. And they looked at me only from one side - from the point of view of my appearance, ignoring everything else.

Never let anyone label you. Whoever says what about you, only you know what you are capable of and what you are. Set the bar high and strive for it. The dogs bark, the caravan moves on.

It is useless to respond with aggression to aggression. When you get hit, you want to hit back. But by responding with evil to evil, you only increase negative energy around you. It is unlikely that this will bring you happiness.

Your accomplishments will be your best response to offenders. Let the insults and hatred of those who do not love you not drag you to the bottom, but push you forward. Prove that those who disbelieve in you are wrong. Let your accomplishments shame those who made fun of you.

Difficulty and test - necessary condition growth. Without testing, we would never have reached the top or the top. They help us learn, change and become better.

A loving family means a lot. Parents who believe in their child, whatever it may be, are doing a great job. They form in him self-confidence, the ability to cope with setbacks and move on.

Make flaws your weapon. My "ugliness", my illness makes me stronger. They help me to be convincing. Actually, they became mine business card, my distinguishing mark. People see me and believe me. A person with such a face knows what he is talking about 🙂

You must face your own demons. I thought I was going to die when I saw the video. I have been called the scariest woman in the world. I cried for several days. And then I watched the video again. And further. I watched it for so long that it stopped tormenting me. I saw the comments and heard the ridicule, but I was absolutely calm.

Always choose happiness. Without hesitation!

Lizzie is currently working on a project to help people who are ridiculed. Because they are not like those around them. Lizzie, I'm with you! Well done!

Natasha Aistova
Thank you for the article! Amazing story!
Nina
The first reaction is really - "how can I unsee this!" Lizzie is great because she teaches people not to judge by their appearance, but to look deeper. And you can also learn from her optimism and the ability to turn your shortcomings into advantages)
N.B.
As soon as nature does not mock people! It's good that this can be survived
Sunny
Thanks! Awesome!
Grigoriy Skoblo
Yes, there are people who are more terrible ..
I traveled half the world and believe me there are such freaks that this Liz is still a beauty in comparison with them :))
Maria*******
her appearance did not cause any negative emotions in me, but it just became interesting who it was) thanks to her parents, that no matter what, they didn’t leave her and brought up such a wonderful and amazing person) respect!
1. Julia
  No, to say that she is not scary, this is already too much. Terrible. But great fellow!
  1. Dmitriy P
    Hmm. Beauty is just certain features adopted by society in appearance and at a certain time. Previously, fat women were beautiful, in body. For Africans, beauty lies in a long neck or some kind of tattoos or scars on the face. So do not speak so positively about beauty, it is conditional. In fact, people are scary when they do mean and terrible things. And they can look like "beauty queens".
    1. Julia
      Come on. In no culture can a woman weighing 25 kg be considered beautiful or even just normal. With all due respect to Lizzie ...
    2. Alla
      WELL BEFORE WHAT IT'S PLEASANT TO HEAR NORMAL PEOPLE WITH POSITIVE ORIENTATIONS, SENSITIVE HEARTS. THANKS FOR YOUR REASONABLE KIND COMMENTARY. OH IF THERE WERE ARE MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WE WOULD BE MUCH INTERESTING IN LIFE
    3. Alla
      DMITRY, I ADDRESSED YOU MY COMMENTARY
    4. Kamila
      I read it and remembered. I'm dark. In childhood, when we were studying, they called me black. They did not take the stage, I did not fit the Snow Maiden because of my complexion .. And now I am 54 years old, I always think that I am black and consider myself ugly. Lizzie is smart.
      I never could say that the complexion is not like always thinking and humiliating myself. If in a society in which there are bright people I consider myself humiliated. Although in life I am obtemits and about my complexion, I always have to consider myself in last place
  2. Natalia
    Yes, she is not terrible, but the scary thing is that there is such a disease and doctors cannot cure it ... And Lizzie is a young man. This is not scary Lizzie, but scary people - freaks who gave offensive comments !!! Mental freaks!
  3. BELLA
    LIZY IS AN EXAMPLE OF WAY TO FAGHT FOR LIFE! SHE IZ SWEET, CLEVER, WARMHEATED-I THINK THAT LIZI IS A VERY INTERESTING LADY! WISH LIZY TO BE HAPPY!

Dee
A strong woman whose beauty comes from within!)

Kate
Lizzie, you're just fine! And I think that you have already coped with the most difficult period! And it doesn't matter what your appearance is, what matters is what you are inside! I'm very happy for you!
Galina-Gala
There are people who are very beautiful, but they are incompetent. I found no flaw in this woman. It is not nature's fault that she gave birth to this. The main thing is that this woman, contrary to the laws, lives and, God forbid, to live even more. Why children with pathologies are born, this probably cannot be fully explained by scientists, although of course, now we know a lot ... But ALL THESE GENES are still science studies. I would very much like to hear what she says, because the reaction of the audience is benevolent, which means this woman has humor, without complexes. It is very important to overcome your complexes. Not everyone is capable of this. People - look and admire such people, do not pass by, if someone needs help - help and do it from a pure heart. Believe that it is not beauty that will save the world, but kindness. Be kinder, live in harmony and in peace. AND EVERYONE WILL HAVE OK THEN!
Heliga
there are spiritual monsters who can offend, humiliate, say whatever they want to make a person sicker! But there are people who are not outwardly attractive, but how much warmth, hope, support, wisdom comes from them! People, learn to be beautiful spiritually, love each other, shine with inner beauty! Good luck everyone!
Nina
There is nothing so terrible in this woman. if you do not consider with partial her appearance.
Once a daughter-in-law from Velikiye Luki appeared in my life, seemingly very attractive and polite, but then the most terrible thing that could appear in a person ... .. and I lost it. But on the other hand, she has been watching Dom2 every day for many years and her little son is watching. All the abomination was absorbed by this Elena who screams obscenities every day not only at her husband, but also at her very young son. They have already got used to it ... And thank God, now I don't see this family at all ... Though I regret about them. I pray to God to fix it, but a person has a choice ... So this is a real tragedy. And the TV show Dom2 is such an abomination ... how is it that it still cripples people so much ?!
Ekaterina Pokrovskaya
She didn’t seem very scary to me either. I was very surprised when I read her "title". Intelligence and humor really transform the face.
NS
the worst? I wonder what would you say if you saw me
Karen R. Kocharyan
Thank you for this material. There is so much evil and dirt around and around that we miss the kindness. People put a spoke in each other's wheels, are filled with mean things, anger and it hurts that they enjoy it all. I don’t want to believe that this is the beginning of the end. You have to overcome yourself and fight evil, fight like Lizzie does. Do not answer evil for evil, and try to change everything around with your labor, love for others. Smile more ... And at the end of everything, my story from the book "THANKS"
Thank you people for all your actions ...
You are doing good, lend a helping hand to each other - THANKS! The roots of evil, envy and hypocrisy are deeply rooted in you - again THANKS! - ???? Yes, do not be surprised ... If there was no evil, we would not know what good is ... But there is still more good in the world, and even if it gradually gives way, there is no need to fight evil, it does not need to prove anything ... two words, FORGIVING, and, FAREWELL, ... Such people do not need to explain anything, to prove something ... USELESS ... They do not even need to feel sorry for them ... They just need to forgive and let them go away from themselves, be they a family member or a stranger ... And in general pity is the lowest feeling. A person who has turned into a wretched creature is trying to prove to the world that he is the most unhappy. And no matter how hard it is for you, try to smile and relief will immediately come. The Lord has prepared all the troubles and difficulties for ordinary mortals. And even if you are standing on the edge of an abyss, try, smile, and thus you can disperse the thunderclouds hanging over your head.
People, human beings ... Love each other ... LOVE IN LIFE !!! Try to look each other in the eyes and say the most valuable words, I LOVE YOU !!! You don't care. Better stop and remember, THIS IS A SIN !!! Sometimes, in the mad cycle of life, we do not notice the most important thing - the GOOD OF THE HUMAN SOUL, and only in difficult moments of life do you feel it, you understand who is who ... And it becomes much easier for you when you are surrounded by goodness. And then you smile, filled with faith. No evil, bigotry, envy and ignorance are able to break through this shell of good. SO WHAT GIVE EACH OTHER GOOD, PEOPLE !!! AND SAVE THIS INSANE, INSANE, INSANE WORLD,
Anya
The most amazing thing about this story is that her parents were able to raise Lizzie to be a happy, active, confident person! Indeed, before that ill-fated video, although she knew that she was different from others, she did not see a tragedy in this. While millions of parents manage to convince their perfectly normal children that they are ugly, fat, stupid, lazy and God knows what else! "You can't grow your hair, it's runny." "Don't wear short skirts, you have thick legs." “Three again? Moron!" "All children are like children, and you ... (fill in the necessary)." But parental love and support works wonders 🙂
Love
What a kind inner world this girl has! Not beauty will save the world, but kindness. Many beauties and beauties still need to envy Lizzie. All that glitters is not gold.
Valentine
May God grant Lizzie happiness! She is a person with a big and mature soul! Let all those who took up arms against her envy her and let them finally understand that Lizzie is higher than them, cute and flirtatious! And her parents are grateful for their daughter.
Rosalia
the main thing is inside. Lizzie is a very strong person. God does not give such tests to the weak. I believe that there will be a companion in life who will discern great beauty in her.
Catherine
Elegant woman! How sometimes you want to have such people by your side so that they can teach you how to live, enjoy life and achieve new heights! Thanks to Lizzie and people like her! She is happy and this is the main thing!
Kifal
Yeah) her soul mate with the same beautiful soul. Shrek and Fiona are remembered ...)))
Anna Belova
I watched the video and tears flowed. Good girl!
Angela.
To be honest. I thought. that this is after not a successful operation. The model is some kind. definitely not a freak
Gulnara
great merit of the parents that the child grew up happy and was able to form into a personality. the true love of the parents gave her the strength to fight. Thanks to them. We need to learn to love from them.
Louise
Is Lizzie scary ?! She is beautiful at heart! We have to learn from her to live, to enjoy every day ... then there would be no evil on earth. Why be surprised…. What kind of parents and children. They are strong and Lizzie gave these powers. Low bow to them, thank you for your kindness and love.
Sapiyat
Yes, the people say the truth: "Do not drink water from your face." Good luck to Lizzy, and many years to your parents!
Galia

The girl's appearance did not cause any negative emotions at all, and the strength and beauty of the spirit makes you think about many things. It surprises and saddens with what joy people accept the internal deformities hidden under the glamorous vanilla appearance. It's a pity that only in a fairy tale, roses and pearls fly from the lips of a dirty woman at every word, and from the lips of fake beauties of a toad and a viper. Be so in life, how much cleaner the world would be!
Lydia
Thanks Lizzie! Low bow to parents. The millionth, billionth proof that the value and beauty of a person comes from within! Be happy, Lizzy!
Helena
May God bless you Lizzie and your parents! You have a lot to learn, although you are still so young! Good luck in your life!

American Lizzie Velazquez from Austin was named "the ugliest girl in the world." But do you think it broke her?

Lizzie became a victim of the most severe cyberbullying: thousands of Internet users mocked and mocked her appearance. The selfless girl did not withdraw into herself, but decided to help other people who are being bullied. Now Lizzie writes books on psychology, speaks at various symposia and participates in television shows, urging people to love themselves and not be afraid of difficulties. And we have collected several interesting facts about this fragile and selfless girl.

Appearance Lizzie is the result of a rare genetic disease - Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome. Her body does not assimilate fat at all, because of this, the girl cannot gain weight more than 29 kilograms. In addition, her immune system is weakened, as a result of which Lizzie became blind in one eye. Also, this disease accelerates the aging process of the body. At 26, Lizzie looks several decades older.
Only three people on the planet suffer from this disease. In addition to Lizzie, this is the Englishwoman Amanda, who is already over 30, and the young American Abigail.

Lizzie eats 60 times a day! She eats every 15 minutes - this is a vital necessity. She eats very high-calorie foods - chips, ice cream, chocolate. If any of us ate like Lizzie, he would have become the fattest man on the planet long ago. But such increased nutrition does not help Lizzie, she does not gain weight at all.

With a height of 152 cm, Lizzie weighs 29 kilograms. And at birth, she weighed only 900 grams. The doctors were sure that she would not survive, and if she did, she would be a "vegetable" - she would never be able to talk or walk. They were wrong.

When she was 18, she saw a video with her participation called "The Scariest Woman" in the world. This video has received 4 million views and thousands of disgusting comments. The "tolerant" society did not skimp on vile statements such as: "Lizzie, kill yourself!", "How does she live with such a face?" At first Lizzie was very upset, she cried for several days. But then the girl calmed down, gathered her strength and firmly decided that from now on she would help all people who suffer from bullying of their appearance.

Lizzie had 4 cherished dreams, three of which she accomplished: graduating from college, writing a book, becoming a motivational speaker, and starting a large family. At the moment, only the family remains on the agenda. The other three dreams came true: she graduated from university, wrote several books on psychology, and constantly speaks at conferences and on various television programs, helping people to gain self-confidence.

She is a great speaker. The video of her performance, posted on YouTube, has been viewed over 9 million times. Lizzie is not devoid of wit and self-irony. In this speech, she said:

"If you want to offend me, stand to my right - I can't see with my right eye"

She made a documentary about her life, Braveheart: The Story of Lizzie Velazquez.

She has loving family: parents and younger brother and sister. After Lizzie was born, doctors advised her parents not to have children anymore, fearing that a disabled person might be born again, but the parents did not obey the doctors. Lizzie's brother and sister are absolutely healthy. Lizzie's family is very supportive.

“I love my parents more than words can express”

She accepts herself for who she is, and doesn't really want to get well.

“I realized that I didn't really want to be cured of this syndrome. If a doctor found a magic pill to help me gain weight, I wouldn't want to take it. All this struggle made me what I am now "

Recently, another offensive meme with Lizzie appeared on the network. Her photograph read:

“Michael said that we will meet behind this tree. He's late: can someone tag him in the photo and tell him that I'm still waiting? "

The girl reacted to this insult with dignity, she posted the photo on her page in social network and wrote:

“It doesn't matter how we look or what size we wear, in the end we are all human. I ask you to remember this when you see memes like this. "

Blogger Date of birth March 13 (Pisces) 1989 (30) Place of birth Austin Instagram @littlelizziev

Writer Lizzie Velasquez was voted the ugliest woman in 2013. The girl lives in Texas and suffers from an incurable disease. She eats every 15 minutes and weighs 25 kilograms; doctors have been studying this mysterious ailment for over 20 years. In addition to Lisa, Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome was diagnosed in two people in the world.

Biography of Lizzie Velazquez

Elizabeth Ann Velazquez was born on March 13, 1989 in Austin, Texas. The baby was born prematurely, according to some sources, weighed no more than 1 kilogram. The doctors warned the mother that the child was not viable.

The girl went out, but weak immunity complicated her condition. For her, harmless colds and other diseases common to most people are still deadly. At the age of 4, Elizabeth almost lost her sight: her right eye went blind, her left one sees worse and worse.

21-year-old Lizzie is 152 cm tall and weighs 25 kilograms. Not a drop of fat is deposited in her body, since the metabolism is completely disturbed. To survive, the girl has to eat up to 60 times during the day. If she does not receive food every 15 minutes, then she weakens and may die.

The disease has nothing to do with anorexia; Velazquez has never tried to lose weight. The patient is unable to physically gain weight. The girl's daily diet has more than 5000 calories with 0% body fat. She constantly eats chocolates, rolls, fruits, chips to stabilize her weight.

The doctors never made a final diagnosis. With a terrible thinness, Lizzie looks like a revived skeleton. During her life, Velazquez has bypassed a huge number of doctors, but the answers are still not found. Rare Elizabeth Syndrome Studying Texas Southwest medical Center... Scientists suggest that the disease is a type of neonatal progeria and several other syndromes. Progeria is the premature aging of a young body.

In addition to Lisa, two other people suffer from a strange ailment called "Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome". 30-year-old Amanda from England and 15-year-old American Abigail. It is noteworthy that Eby also lives in Austin.

Personal life of Lizzie Velazquez

Elizabeth hopes scientists will help ease her life. Perhaps someday she will be able to arrange her personal life. The Lizzie Velazquez family is her only support. The girl calls her parents heroes and says that her world is her native people.

Mom and dad of the sick girl were not afraid to have two more children. Sister Marina is five years younger than Lisa, but she feels older. The most youngest child in the family is Chris. The sister and brother were born healthy, without any abnormalities.

Latest news about Lizzie Velazquez

Today Elizabeth is a university student. Lizzie Velazquez's future career is in motivation consulting work. The girl has already become famous as a blogger and a talented speaker.

Lizzie has written a book about her story, Be Beautiful, Be You (2012). Bloggers' speeches and articles help you learn to motivate yourself, strengthen your spirit, will, and get rid of despondency.

How does it feel for a young girl to turn on her laptop one day and find out that thousands of Internet users have dubbed you the ugliest woman in the world, and the wittiest of them advised you to commit suicide? The answer is known only to 26-year-old Lizzie Velazquez, who really, to put it mildly, does not shine with beauty, but is not at all to blame for this. She certainly did not want worldwide fame, but the persecution and ridicule prompted her to tell the world about her life. The girl made a confession documentary, which was recently presented at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Texas, where Velasquez lives.

Film "Braveheart: The Story of Lizzie Velazquez" ( A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story) tells the life story of an unusual American woman from birth to the present. Lizzie was born with a rare syndrome (the disease does not even have any name in medicine) - she cannot gain normal weight, now in this grown woman only 29 kilograms. There are only three such people in the whole world, and doctors do not know how to cure them.

She was born weighing 0.9 kilograms. Doctors warned the parents that she would never be able to walk or speak, and also advised them not to have children anymore, otherwise the invalid would appear again. The Velazquez sent the advice of the Aesculapians to hell and gave birth to another girl, completely healthy, and the older one, as best they could, was raised and brought up, although not without difficulties.

“They stared at all of us, pointed fingers. But gradually we kind of got used to it, ”recalls Marina Velazquez, younger sister"Scary Lizzie".

Lizzie, of course, was strongly teased at school - children are children, and here the reason was more than obvious: the girl was not only unnaturally thin, but also blind in one eye. But she had to face a real nightmare only in adolescence.

YouTube as an executioner

When Velasquez was 17, someone posted a video about her on YouTube, in which for the first time, the label "the ugliest in the world" was used.

Lizzie's mocking video has received four million views.

One of the commentators then wrote, referring to Velazquez: "Do the world a favor - shoot yourself." Another called her a monster, the third advised Lizzie's parents to “finish THIS” and argued that they should have had an abortion ...

How many such comments Lizzie read is unknown, but what she felt at the same time is easy to imagine. “Of course, I cried all my eyes out. But then I decided to calm down, ”she recalls.

Toughie

Velazquez did not shoot, as she was advised on the net, or hide from everyone, but decided that she must protect herself and other people who are ridiculed because of their appearance.

She launched a campaign to counter bullying against people who are unlike anyone else. These included both videos and offline performances. For example, in 2013, Lizzie gave a speech at the TED Austin Women in her native Texas. This was not a plaintive monologue. The girl, as it turned out, is a pretty good speaker with a pleasant voice, not devoid of a sense of humor and self-irony. She briefly told the audience about her illness, accompanied by funny details: she recalled, for example, how, as a teenager, she hoped to get fat by eating donuts at night (of course, nothing came of it).

“I always ask: if you are going to offend me and say nasty things, stand to my right - I just don’t see you with this eye,” Velazquez jokes.

In her speeches, the girl insists that she did everything to learn to perceive her syndrome not as a curse, but as a key to self-improvement and inspiration for other people. Lizzie manages to find something positive even in her own appearance.

“Of course I look terrible, but I have really pretty hair,” she says.

In September 2014, Velasquez had a chance to speak in front of a really serious audience - the American Congress. She helped lobby for a Bill to Protect American Schoolchildren from Harassment by Classmates in educational institutions countrywide. The bill was prepared by the Republican Party, but it was Lizzie who spoke about its importance to statesmen in Washington.

Response

Velazquez has supported many people around the world, and not only in word, but also in deed. Deciding to make a documentary about her life, she announced it on the Kickstarter crowdfunding portal. The amount required was rather big: 180 thousand dollars. However, they collected even more - almost 215 thousand dollars.

3564 people from 16 countries of the world donated money for the shooting of the film about Lizzie.

Lizzie today

She made her dream come true - she entered the University of Texas and graduated with success. She has written three books on psychology for those who want to find the strength to cope with the unfairly cruel attitude of others. A lot of spectators came to the premiere of her film in Texas, among them were those who studied with Lizzie at school. Perhaps the picture will be shown in other countries, but when - it has not yet been reported.

23-year-old Lizzie Velazquez became an Internet star after netizens called Lizzie the ugliest woman in the world. She was ridiculed, stared at in the street and called "the ugliest woman in the world." And after years of suffering, Lizzie Velazquez says she can finally get out of the circle, ignoring comments about her appearance. She is no longer afraid to go out to people Lizzie Velazquez, 23, from Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue, which means that she has no body fat and, although she eats a lot, she weighs only 28 kilograms. Her rare disease still baffles doctors, with only two known cases worldwide. The second book by Lizzie Velazquez has recently been released. She writes about her fight against haters and prejudice and hopes it will help others in a similar situation. Lizzie claims that she has no desire to look like a beautiful celebrity. “I’m very glad that I don’t look like celebrities who are very beautiful, but there are a lot of stereotypes attached to it. People think that since she’s so beautiful, she must be very stupid.” In my case, people can immediately get to know the real me “When Lizzie was born, the doctors could not diagnose and told her parents to prepare for the worst. “They told us that she would never be able to walk, talk and live a normal life,” says mom Lizzie, whose two other children are of normal weight and height. Despite the gloomy predictions, Lizzie's brain, bones and internal organs developed normally, but she was always very small. After birth, her parents bought her clothes for dolls, and at the age of two she was the size of a five-month-old baby. Lizzie Velazquez with her husband Lizzie Velazquez does not take medication, but uses vitamins and iron to stay healthy. Doctors think she can get pregnant naturally and have a healthy baby.
