Divorces are never pretty, but this one got pretty ugly -- literally.
A Chinese man divorced and then sued his ex-wife for giving birth to what he called an extremely ugly baby girl, the Irish Times reported.
Initially, Jian Feng accused his wife of infidelity, so sure that he could never father an unattractive child.
When a DNA test proved that the baby was his, Feng's wife came clean on a little secret -- before they met, she had undergone about $100,000 worth of cosmetic surgery in South Korea.
Feng sued his ex-wife on the grounds of false pretenses, for not telling him about the plastic surgery and duping him into thinking she was beautiful, The Huffington Post reported.
The kicker? He won. A judge agreed with Feng's argument and ordered his ex-wife to fork over $120,000.
"I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues," he told the Irish Times. "Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me."
All cats are gray at midnight. And blurry, if I'm not wearing my glasses. ;)
The not having her mouth open screeching or scowling makes her as pretty in one picture as the other, in my book.
Physical beauty is fleeting. Then comes the starch and the iron to get rid of the wrinkles.

Plus, you can marry someone attractive, and have children that look like other members of the family. It’s a gamble. I guess he never met the in-laws lol
You also can’t tell how kids will turn out, some attractive child actors grew into ugly adults.

She was pretty, and smart. And finally wised up. Besides, her aim was improving, I had to go. ;)

All he said was, “We can’t afford a new baby and the chimp too”.
Yep and I don’t care for implants either....
Is there a picture of the creepy dad? Maybe he’s to blame...
Ugly people should marry blind people-solved!
Women don’t count in China or the Middle East.
Not a ping.
Well, as Loretta Lynn would say, “You’re the reason our kids are ugly, darlin’”
interesting
Dang, my dad could have done the same thing. ;)
I don’t care who you are... that right there is News..
Rodney Dangerfield: “I was so ugly, the doctor SLAPPED my Mother..”
Man... that must have been one ugly baby.
In this case, however, it "goes all the way to the baby".
Ok, so the little girl got a pasting by the ugly stick.
Her best revenge is to become someone famous. Study, use her brain, never get surgery, and just be the woman to which God handed life.
There are scads of Chinese literature on matters similar to this, that date back thousands of years. I know, I had to read mountains of them in undergrad. Though I can’t put my finger on it now, there is an ancient Chinese tale about just such a thing. The woman grew to be famous, although never really physically attractive, she was sought after by famous men. Her father fell into disrepute and became destitute, she took pity on him and “let” him be her house servant. A position he gladly accepted.
I’ll look through the mountains of Chinese lit in the book case. I’ll find it in about 5 years or so.
