Model

The Resume

    Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
    Wilhelmina model
    Served bottles of Fiji Water to celebrities on the red carpet outside the Beverly Hilton during the Golden Globes ceremony (January 6, 2019)
    Appeared behind numerous celebrities in photos, including Jim Carrey, Amy Adams, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Heidi Klum, Idris Elba, Tony Shalhoub, Kaley Cuoco, and Dakota Fanning
    Resulted in Fiji earning the equivalent of $12 million worth of ad impressions

Why she might be annoying:

    In different interviews, she would boast of her photobomb talents ('It's all strategic. You've got to angle.') or claim that getting in all those photos was basically an accident ('There's a lot of photographers at different angles. You're kind of trapped sometimes.').
    She said that because of her modeling experience she 'can't hear a shutter going off without throwing a face.'
    Jamie Lee Curtis, who had tried (unsuccessfully) to avoid her, complained about being co-opted into promoting a product without having given her permission.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She had been a social worker specializing in mental health and addiction counseling before becoming a model.
    She was actually one of four Fiji Water girls working the Globes and modestly explained her ubiquity with, 'I think I just got put in the best location of the night.'
    She said, 'I do love a good meme, so I think it's incredibly ironic and funny that I'm one now.'
