Letter from a Reader: The Great Pretender

Dear FP,

Allow me to share some of the thoughts and observations I have observed and have listened to over the past months concerning a “well-loved” but “most-hated” personality. Let me just call him the Great Pretender (GP).

At first, my friends and I enjoyed GP's company, but we finally saw how awful he is behind the camera. I do not mean to malign him, I only want to expose the truth, and for the readers to not believe too much in the generous and self-righteous image that he projects for himself.

GP has no family, but he does not want to sleep alone as he fears demons concocted in his mind. He is scared of ghosts, killers, etc. He has a “girlfriend” (GF), but GP is non-committal. Despite his wealth, GP has not really shared it with his true family. The mothers of his children are wary of him, and would not dare give their children to him. For everything it's worth,  his money cannot buy his kids and the companionship he longs for.

One of his children (HC) asked him for a bit of help as HC is self-supporting her studies abroad. Instead of helping, GP advised her to borrow money from other people. GP thinks HC is too luxurious, which is true, but as the father with so much, should he not share a bit? The rift between GP and HC is deep. GP wants HC to work for him, but HC is bent on pursuing her own career.

GP threw a fit when he found out one of his loyal cast members (CM) is joining the campaign of some candidates. He was so mad that he fired her right away, along with the other dancers. GP did not even realize that the dancers just wanted to earn something extra for their families.

The GF of GP is a simple college student. She’s very private, and GP can be very jealous. Although GF is liked by everyone, she makes it a point to stay away from the close friends of GP. These close friends are quite materialistic and do not have decent work. They are not that rich, but not poor, as well. When they are together, GF is like a different person. She could not speak as she is always put down by GP.

When GP gives her money, he makes sure that he gives her instructions to purchase several items for himself as well. Thus, whatever money he gives is not really for her, as only a small amount is left. GF never asks money from GP as she waits for him to give her voluntarily.

Sometime ago, there was another former dancer (AF) in his show who just disappeared, and no one knew why she left. Apparently, AF could no longer stand how GP was treating her. When GF was not available, GP would turn his desires on AF. GP makes sure that AF and CM should always be with him on some trips. Everyone knows for sure where those companionship leads to.

More power FP!
