Keeping the Covenant

Fathering a child out of wedlock is nothing new in the entertainment industry. However, what distinguishes one father from another is how he treats the woman who claims to be carrying his child. Many actors, especially the ones who are being groomed as matinee idols, have been warned not to hint at or acknowledge having a child if at the beginning they had hidden such truth. The mentality is that having a child out of circumstances outside of marriage can ruin one’s chances to rise on the ladder. Hence, new actors are told to hide the truth or come out clean from the very start.

When Accomplished Actor (AA) was starting out, his name was dragged in a controversy about a lovechild (LC) whose Pretty Mother (PM) claims him as the father. Being young and naïve then, AA acknowledged the child and tried to give support as much as he could to stop the bashing. He did not have as much then, as his career was just falling into place. Meanwhile, PM has kept quiet after AA allegedly agreed on child support.

Many years later, AA’s career is stable and he has the money to continue supporting LC. Except for the financial support, many things have changed. The most glaring of such conditions is the list of don’ts for LC.

Violations of the don’ts list mean stoppage of support, which would mean PM losing the perks of having LC. For example, LC is not allowed to step out of the house for fear that her picture might be taken and uploaded in Internet sites. Corollary to this directive is that PM should not post any photo of LC in social media. Staying in her home all day has allegedly made LC pale-looking.

What AA’s camp is avoiding is that LC’s visible presence in social media would drag AA into the limelight. AA wants to value his privacy and keep his personal matters off the hands of the press and other curious parties.
