Noel Gallagher’s Daughter Anais, 25, Criticized for Claiming She “Gets Paid to Do Nothing”

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais has come under fire after saying she feels ‘grateful’ to get paid ‘to do basically nothing’ and doesn’t have to work a 9-5 job.

The British model, 25, who has been dubbed as a ‘nepo baby’, is the only child of the Oasis legend, 58, and his ex-wife Meg Mathews, 59.

The photographer made the blunt confession during a recent interview while appearing on an episode of Ally & G’s YouTube series Backseat Driver.

The clip, shared about a month ago on the channel, sees Anais opening up about the reality of life on the Oasis tour, how she works with brands, and why she agrees with her dad Noel’s attitude towards celebrity life.

But not long after its release, viewers flocked in the comments section slamming her being out of touch after she described her privileged life.

‘I feel an incredible amount of gratitude that I get to be paid to do basically nothing but have a great time with my friends and experience things,’ she told hosts Ally & G.

‘I feel like I’m sometimes held to a standard of these influencers that claim relatability or to be the girl next door.’

‘I can understand if you follow someone when they’re doing Primark hauls and then suddenly they’re in a big house showing expensive clothes and you feel disconnected. 

She went on saying: ‘But I’ve never been that. So sometimes when people say, ‘This is not very relatable,’ or ‘your privilege is showing,’ it’s just me existing. There’s not really much I can do.’

The social media star eventually suffered a strong backlash from fans, with some writing:

‘Not sure why she feels so invested in something she is just a bystander for’

‘How trivial their lives are..do they actually consider this worthy content? As for Anais, typical nepo syndrom…cheers!’;

 ‘NEPOCHILD’.  

However, others were positively impressed by her comments and praised her honest attitude penning: 

‘Anaïs is so real tho. I love how genuine she is and the don’t give a f*** attitude is actually crucial.’ 

Later on in the candid interview, Anais added that she never set out to become an influencer – and avoids working with brands that expect her to play a part.

‘I don’t try to curate myself in any way, because I think that I was in a unique position.

‘I never wanted to be an influencer. I never decided to do anything with social media. 

‘I genuinely created my Instagram account when I was like a teenager, just like anybody else, and I remember noticing that loads of people were following me purely just because of my dad. But I never stopped posting.’

‘I would never do content with a brand in which I couldn’t by accident swear in it, or I couldn’t drink or smoke because it wouldn’t be authentic to me. 

She added bluntly: ‘I’m obviously constantly aware of my privilege and the situation I was born into – it basically means a lot of no complaining.’ 

The fashion model also hit back at criticism surrounding her famous surname, saying she’s constantly judged for both talking about her dad ‘too much and not enough’ – while also addressing nepo baby criticism.

‘People just always find an issue with everything, especially the nepo baby thing.

‘You can’t f***ing win. I’ll get so many comments being like, ‘All you do is talk about your dad,’ and I’m like, well, my dad is a massive part of my life because he’s my dad.

‘I remember people at school would say, ‘You’re always talking about your dad!’ And I’d be like, I talk about my dad the exact same amount as you do.

‘People just listen when I talk about my dad. I zone out when you talk about your dad because you’ll just be like, ‘My dad’s picking me up later,’ and I just hear your parents picking you up.

‘It’s not my fault that when I say, ‘My dad’s picking me up later,’ people are like, ‘What time?’ 

‘But then I also get people that are like, ‘You never post about your dad! Why don’t you have any photos or videos of your dad? Clearly you don’t spend that much time with him.’
