Quiet Separation

Celebrities who have managed to keep their clean image in the span of their careers are often admired. Often, younger celebrities look up to them as role models and fans admire them. However, a pure reputation can cause trouble later on. After all, a celebrity is human, capable of making mistakes and risking the image he/she has worked for.

Such is the dilemma of Esteemed Performer (EP), who is known for a reputation that is often used as the gauge of success for any person who wants to last long in showbiz. EP is known for her talent in singing, acting, and even hosting. She is also known for being outspoken and expressing her opinion on daily matters. However, throughout her career, EP has built what seemed to be an impenetrable image.

Other than an established name, EP is known to be a good wife and mother. Although her family is often away from the limelight, EP makes it a point to show that she has a strong family unit. Unfortunately, EP has a weakness, and he happens to be Talented Celebrity (TC).

Sometime ago, the paths of EP and TC crossed, as both were together in various projects. During that time, both were busy with their careers, and TC was seeing other women. Moreover, EP was busy with her commitments, such that they lost touch with each other. Then, EP and TC found respective partners and settled down. Their married lives were picture perfect as far as what the public perceived.

An incident, however, proved that both were weak. EP and TC found themselves together abroad by chance, and that created an opportunity to be alone and rekindle the old passion. To make matters more interesting, someone who knew the Husband of EP (HP) saw the two in a hotel. When EP came back home, HP confronted her, but she replied that such story was just part of showbiz intrigue. The story does not end there, as HP caught EP sending texts messages to TC. The incidents prodded him to ask for a separation.

The anger and decision of HP made EP panic, as any leakage to the public would tarnish her reputation, as well as that of TC. EP asked HP to be discrete, as she has an image to protect. Besides, EP knows that TC will never leave His Wife (HW), who saw him through his bad times. HP, to protect himself, agreed with EP. Although they are experiencing this trial, both have agreed to be together during special occasions. After all, the absence of HP in significant moments of EP would definitely raise many questions. Incidentally, rumors have it that HP might not be as clean after all. He allegedly has another woman somewhere far from their family abode.

If indeed EP and HP were to separate, she has a career to lean on, but the backlash coming from fans and bashers can be a sea of torment.
