We all have a Victoria Ratliff around us and if you resonate with the following characteristics then wear the shoe, Cinderella!
With every season of The White Lotus, there’s always a fan favorite on social media. This year, it is Victoria Ratliff, the mother of the incestuous Ratliff siblings. From the first episode itself, people found her to be extremely funny and an off beat, almost zen character in the middle of all the chaos around her. How is she so weirdly calm, you might ask? Well, thanks to her Lorazepam, she is snoozing her way through this Thailand trip and, because of her, the infamous drug itself is being spoken about on social media.
She might look gorgeous in her summer dresses but she isn’t the least bit bothered about anyone or anything, or going by the latest episode she might not even know where she is. As unrealistic as this sounds, we all have a little bit of Victoria in us or rather we know someone just like her who couldn’t care less about anything at all. Don’t get me wrong! She is in no way depressed or has given up on life, I would say she just isn’t easily affected by the world’s bullshit the way we are!

Here’s how you can check if you pass the ‘Am I Victoria’ test!
You really do not care about your surroundings
There could literally be a tsunami coming and she would just roll her eyes and continue talking! She defines being detached from the world and just living in your own bubble! And I know she isn’t the only one out there who goes about life with their head in the sand.
You can sleep like a log anywhere anytime
In case you still haven’t gotten the gist, Victoria is perpetually drugged and she doesn’t even realize that she is addicted! She says she just ‘takes it whenever she feels like’. We don’t know who’s going to break it to her but that’s what you call addiction, Victoria! When the Lorzepam hits, she is ready to doze off literally in the middle of a dinner conversation until you wake her up and scratch her arm. While not all of us are reliant on Lorazepam (Thank God!), there are quite a few of us who can fall asleep literally in the middle of a noisy conversation and they can totally sit at the same table as Victoria.
You have a peculiar way of talking
Victoria’s North Carolina accent has become a subject of mimicry online. People are going bonkers over the way she talks, and especially the way she calls out to her daughter ‘Piper’ in a very peculiar way. If you have a certain way of talking, you’d relate to her on a whole other level.
You think your way of life is the only way of life
Her daughter can’t be a Buddhist because she is not from China, Victoria is a Christian because people around her are Christians! She thinks Thailand is for con men and tax cheats and her life back in the US is the right way of living. Yes, that’s Victoria Ratliff for you in a nutshell. She is the prime example of my way or the highway and she refused to accept anything that isn’t the ‘norm’ according to her. Rigidness flows through her veins and I’m sure she is not the only one.
You get irritated at the slightest inconvenience
Remember her face when she was asked to take a test at the beginning of the episode? “Test? Is it complicated? I get really anxious! We’re jetlagged” were her exact words when she was asked to do 2% more than her usual routine. If coming out of your comfort zone gives you nightmares, you’re a Victoria for sure!
