CANDY GIRL

- EMILY MACDONALD emily.macdonald@news.com.au

LUCCIANA Beynon is following her controvers­ial father into the world of fashion. Before he was a tobacco tycoon Travers “Candyman” Beynon was an internatio­nal model.

LUCCIANA Beynon has seen the photos from the Candyman mansion.

Cleavage, barely clad women – even her stepmother on a leash.

But the 16-year-old is a staunch defender of her father, tobacco king Travers Beynon.

“I just try to ignore it or think they’re just saying things because they’re jealous,” the aspiring Victoria’s Secret model says about the public perception.

“I don’t care what people say about me but the untrue stuff they say about Dad – that’s when I get upset and it gets to me.” In an interview today in

Gold Coast Eye magazine, Lucciana said unlike her father and his vast busty entourage, she only had one “bestie” at school and preferred the company of her family to other teenagers.

For it is her real home, not the one others see on Instagram drowning in a sea of cleavage, filled with family and laughter where Lucciana feels most comfortabl­e.

“I love being home. I might go out with friends once a month.

“I have a very different life to everyone else.

“I’m not going to go to university because I don’t really love school as it is right now.

“I’m not going to put myself through that. The people and the gossip and stuff.”

Lucciana, who wants to become a Victoria’s Secret angel and ultimately a supermodel, is eagerly counting down until she turns 18 and can party with her father and brother.

“I have been waiting for that my whole life because I have the most fun with them,” Lucciana said.

“I saw Dad go out with Valentino for his 18th and I can’t wait for that.”

Finishing school at Helensvale High, where her brother was last year school captain, is non-negotiable in the Beynon household and Lucciana passes all her subjects.

While many teenagers in her position wouldn’t be able to resist flaunting the riches that comes with being heir to the FreeChoice Tobacco fortune, Lucciana prefers to stay relatively humble.

She has 8000 followers on her Instagram account which heavily depicts family life and the odd G-rated glamour shot.

Not that it deters the creeps lurking in dark corners of the internet, including comments on a recent photograph of the young model fully clothed in tracksuit pants and cuddling the family dog.

One asks if her “ass is synethic” while another affirms he would “tap dat”.
