I'm Beyoncé's doppelganger - men ask me to marry them - I've been offered £20k for a single night
- 2 months ago
A woman says she has received job offers, marriage proposals and even offered £20k ($25k) for a night with her - because she looks like Beyoncé.
Juliana Machado Sotinho, 35, only noticed her resemblance to the megastar when she began posting on social media in 2019.
Juliana, from Iguaba Grande in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, took advantage of the uncanny resemblance and began doing impressions of the star.
Since then Juliana, who is happily married, has been receiving unwanted attention from men.
She has received marriage proposals - five in total - and was even even offered $25k for a night with her.
She said: "People know I'm married because I always show what my life is like on social media but I've already received offers to spend a night with me.
"One time I was offered $25k for one night and there have been more than five marriage proposals."
Juliana, a mum-of-six, had always been brunette but when she began sporting a blonde wig, she was inundated with comments on her TikTok account.
Her videos started gaining tractions and Beyonce fans flooded the comment section.
She said: "I was always a brunette but when I decided to change that I realized that I was reminding people of her a lot.
"I remind people a lot of Beyoncé and her sister Solange, my audience is very divided."
But she said being a doppelganger of such a superstar has had its upsides too.
It has helped Juliana amass 142k followers across TikTok and Instagram, where she impersonates the star.
She's received offers from businesses to promote their products - both because of her following and her resemblance to the pop star.
Thanks to the work that she's been doing on social media, Juliana is able to provide for her family and her six children aged between 15 and one.
Juliana said she is very grateful for what she has been able to achieve the last few years thanks for the resemblance.
As a tribute to the singer, she even named her youngest child Giselle, which is Beyoncé's middle name.
She said : I receive proposals for jobs, and partnerships and it has helped me maintain my family.
"I paid homage to Beyonce's second name with her's [Giselle]"
Juliana also often gets stopped on the streets or at work by strangers who see the similarities.
She said: "When people see me they immediately comment that I look like the singer.
"Most of them are surprised by the extent of the resemblance, people always say: 'Wow, did you know that you look like Beyoncé?' Or: 'Girl you are a lucky person you remind me a lot of Queen B'.
"Who doesn't like being compared to the diva of divas? I feel like the luckiest and most blessed woman alive."
