Look at Who’s Watching Your Back

The plight of Amiable Celebrity (AC) seems to be following the typical story of a successful celebrity whose own circle will bring her downfall. AC started out as a very simple teenager who wanted to improve her family situation by getting into a profession she has passion for. Thus, while making the rounds of auditions for slots in a major network, she was spotted by a talent discoverer and made her sign up with the other network. Her mother network saw her potential and started casting her in minor but marked roles in movies and teleseryes. It was not difficult to notice AC who exudes an aura of limitless attraction. In a short span, AC was already destined to become a major star.

A major star comes with hordes of fans, who will defend their idols with every tooth and limb they have. Not to exaggerate, but the current generation of fans is quick to react, always on the attack mode, and offers every possible defense to shield their idols from negative vibes. Several fans have no hesitation to make their presence felt in social media sites and the rabid ones resort to cursing and wishing ill those whom they feel have offended their idols. However, most fans remain critical and sincerely watch out for the interest of their idols. The fans of AC are no different, as they will protect AC from any circumstance they feel could be the rust in the iron.

As soon as AC was being positioned by her mother network, close personalities in her life started to position themselves as well. One of these personalities, Shrewd Entrepreneur (SE), has not escaped the eye of several fans of AC. SE has taken it as her responsibility to make sure AC’s interests are well served and that her needs are met. Thus, in the process of overseeing the appearances of AC, SE has made sure the fans know her well.

Nonetheless, several fans feel that SE has encroached AC’s position as well as that of fans. SE makes sure that she is in every event with AC. Particularly, she has to be with SE whenever the network sends the celebrity abroad for shows. While the goal of AC is to entertain fans, SE is doing her own entertaining of fans, as well. Allegedly, her friendliness with fans allows her to sell souvenir items, which are in partnership with other parties of interest. Second, given her access to AC, SE could invite curious fans for a private meet and greet with AC and Her Partner (HP). Fans could take photos with AC and HP. SE arranges such meetings as her way of thanking the various fans, whom she had contacted for her own shopping, sightseeing, and dining activities. This attitude has been noticed by fans, who feel that SE is taking advantage of die-hard followers of AC.

Incidentally, SE was a bit irked when HP entered the picture, as she felt he would distract AC from reaching her goal of ultimate stardom. Worse, she allegedly made a big deal that some fans of the AC-HP partnership only support HP. Despite all these questionable acts, AC has been shielded from finding out the deeds of SE. Given that AC is becoming older, it would only be a matter of time when she would realize that her own circle is turning-off people. At present, fans form the lifeblood of any artist. Without loyalty coming from a solid fan base, a career of a celebrity could end abruptly. In the case of AC, she should be mindful that the person who is supposed to be watching her back, has interests to fulfill at AC’s expense. .
