Appealing to Clear Her Name

When one has spent years building a reputation, a scandal can often ruin every good name that person has established. Sometime ago, Industry Celebrity (IC) was the subject of speculations, as she seemed to have slowed down in her social media posts. Although known as a busy person, the lack of posts made her followers wonder if her social mess was partly to blame.

As love can creep in anytime and without warning, IC passionately fell for a Business Personality (BP). However, there was one major problem. In the eyes of society, BP was still married to Low Key wife (LK). Rumors had it that BP and LK were indeed undergoing a crisis in their marriage, but like most married couples, would not want theirs to fail. LK was allegedly hoping that she and BP would be able to rebuild their family.

Then, IC entered the picture and BP shifted his attention. In a snap, any hope for the family to be whole again was gone. IC and BP tried to keep their relationship away from the public, but since the two were well-known in their respective fields, the secret was out. Even LK, who is not even a public personality, was hounded for reactions. LK knew better by keeping quiet and avoiding any chance to be interviewed by the press. Instead of confronting the other woman, LK started the painful process of letting go.

Later, IC started to worry about the tag associated with her. Knowing that the circle is small, IC made calls to common friends she had with LK and invite them for lunch or dinner. IC’s goal was to clear her name, as she claims that LK and BP already had their marriage annulled before she was even in the picture. Hence, she cannot be tagged as a ‘husband stealer.’ One of the personalities IC allegedly contacted was a politician who shared the same passion for a project close to LK’s heart.

Reality check is that IC would never have control over what other people would say about her. What happened is done and IC should just move on and not waste time trying to clear her name. She can just hope that time will erase the tag associated to her name these days.

‘By handling each sentimental item and deciding what to discard, you process your past. If you just stow these things away in a drawer or cardboard box, before you realise it, your past will become a weight that holds you back and keeps you from living in the here and now. Pg.116-117’  ― Marie Kondō
