If you mean ugly, then this is the two versions why:

  1. She was once a beautiful priestess in Athena's temple, but (and there two versions of this) Poseidon raped or seduced her in Athena's temple (as he and Athena were enemies over the dispute of Athens). Athena, enraged by the desecration of her temple, punished Medusa by making her ugly, as she couldn't punish Poseidon
  2. Medusa was a beautiful and very vain maiden who boasted she was more beautiful then Athena. Athena, enraged by this, turned her hair into snakes and make her gaze turn people to stone
