A woman who was branded an "unfit mother" because of her eye-brows has revealed the ongoing "extreme" criticism she receives on a daily basis.

Sammie-Jo Hailford claims her giant brows have been the cause of being trolled online and even verbally abused in the street.

However, the 27-year-old has defiantly declared she has no plans to change her eye-brow look anytime soon.

On one extreme occasion Sammie-Jo, a mum-of-two, claims she was threatened with having social services called on her because of the way she looks.

Sammie-Jo from Grimsby, said: “People have said I shouldn’t be a mum and they are going to ring social services because of my eyebrows. It gets really extreme on the internet.

“They can call social services because I have nothing to hide. My eyebrows don’t determine whether I’m a good mother or not.”

Sammi-Jo started using liquid liner to make her brows bigger one year ago. She said: “I’m not a massive fan of beauty standards today.

“I feel like people are socially conditioned to only be beautiful if they are part of these standards and I just don’t agree with it and I don’t like it. I just like to make a statement and the brows do that for me.

“They started off normal size and they just got bigger over time and I just like to look different.

“It would be cool if they were Britain’s biggest eyebrows. I’ve now created a hashtag called ‘bigger the brow bigger, the boy’ because it’s true and that’s what I say to my friends.”

Sammie-Jo has recently joined TikTok and attracted more than 75,000 followers in four weeks, according to Daily Star.

She said: “People say I don’t get boys because I have big eyebrows but that is wrong. I have had quite a few men in my inbox telling me I’m beautiful and saying they would date me.

“They always mention the eyebrows first, so maybe there is a fetish there.”

She added: “Younger girls will laugh at me in the street, I’ve had that a couple of times but they do it between themselves. The worst comments are online. I get horrible comments about my makeup and they also take the mick out of my teeth too.”

Sammie-Jo using her platform to encourage people to be who they want to be. She said: “I’ve not had the best life before now and I’ve suffered a lot of trauma and abuse from people.

“I guess the past three years I have found myself and I went through therapy to realise I am worthy no matter how I look or what I decide to do.”

The mum added: “Trolling doesn’t affect me now. I’m trying to raise awareness to the fact that people can be different. That’s how I fight them back.”
