Proving that Image and Public Reputation Can be Deceiving

When Semi-retired Talent (ST) was starting in showbiz, she immediately caught the heart of several viewers when she was paired with a Then Young Actor (YA) in a youth-oriented project. ST and YA had chemistry and they were building a following. Just as things were looking good for the loveteam, ST left her station and moved to the other. Thus, all projects with ST and YA were shelved.

Allegedly, the other network offered her a bigger paycheck, which made some people say that she was being true to her name. Then, although it was not surprising, ST was cast in the other network’s youth oriented show. While several people were disappointed in her decision, ST stuck to her choice.
As years passed, the youth-oriented show became too small for ST, and all her fellow performers were making names for themselves. Sadly, ST was competing with more beautiful and more talented female talents. ST then went with the times and repackaged herself in daring roles. When that did not work, ST had to content herself with the television roles given by her network.

The projects became scarce, and ST decided the time was right for her to take education seriously, and years later, she found herself an accomplished student and graduate of a premiere school. Slowly, ST veered away from showbiz and embraced her new role where she practiced her talent that was honed in the university.

This career shift was complemented with marriage with a reputable man, and thus, the image of ST was transformed into an ideal one. Given that she now has a good image, some products deem her as the right person to endorse them in the latest way to promote products, social media. Then, to the shock of the company, ST kept calling and calling their office about her talent fee. The company is well established and would not risk its name for not paying for availed services. As ST was too persistent, the company vowed never to make her part of their campaign for any of their products.
