Just a few weeks after Kelleth Cuthbert rose to brief viral fame as the Golden Globes’ Fiji Water Girl, the aspiring actor has landed herself an actual TV gig, naturally.
Of all the conspiracy theories around Fiji Water Girl and her strategic red carpet photobombing, self-promotion is looking like the most likely now. Or maybe she really does just have resting ~werk it~ face? Who knows
But upwards mobility requires a fair amount of opportunism and if this isn’t ceasing the spotlight, I don’t know what is.

Now apparently Kelleth has graduated from viral server girl to an actual acting gig on The Bold and the Beautiful, which is apparently still running!
Cuthbert confirmed the news on Instagram with a picture of herself with some of the soap’s cast this week, captioning the shot,
“Thank you to the lovely folks of @boldandbeautifulcbs for having me yesterday!”
The on set pictures she shared on Twitter reveal the cast indulging in the Fiji Water gag with Kelleth. This is what happens when you become a meme, you are essentially treated like a dancing monkey.
But work is work and Kelleth Cuthbert is getting hers.

In fact, Fiji Water girl is making the most of her meme-fame, landing a paid partnership with Stella & Chewy’s, a pet food company. She can be seen working it alongside Pablo, her own dog, who clearly also has resting ~werk it~ face.
All respect to Kelleth Cuthbert for doing what she can with the cards life has handed her. When you get the meme card, you’ve got to use it for all it’s worth.
