ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode of Keep It Private might ruffle some feathers... Millie is talking about the curse of pretty privilege!
She's the first to admit that being attractive opens doors: free drinks, flights, exclusive rooms, opportunities that wouldn't otherwise exist. But she's diving into the flip side nobody talks about: the difference between access and respect and how being desired doesn't always mean being valued.
Millie breaks down how pretty privilege plays out in real scenarios — from the transactional nature of club tables and "free" drinks (spoiler: nothing's actually free), to the double standard around OnlyFans creators. She also gets into the discomfort of being treated as an accessory or status symbol, where being in the room doesn't guarantee anyone in it actually respects you.
The conversation goes deeper into dating dynamics, the paranoia that comes with never being sure if someone wants you or just the idea of you, plus the constant low-grade fear of losing the version of yourself people reward — including the pressure around ageing and change that so many women internalize.
Millie closes out with some real, personal reflections on safety, trust, and the search for genuine connection over surface-level attention — and leaves it open for a potential part two if you want more!
