Don’t Expect

During press conferences, celebrities are often asked about their love lives more than the actual project or product they are promoting. Sometimes, reporters are given instructions on the type of questions that should be asked, but most of the time, they are given a free hand at questions to throw. Thus, when a celebrity agrees to a presscon, he or she must be psyched up and prepared for the questions to be raised.

When Versatile Performer (VP) held a gathering of selected press people, he maintained his composure as certain reporters were pressing him about a sensitive matter. VP was asked if he already has/had a girlfriend from showbiz. At first, VP played with his response and said that he has had quite a number and started enumerating the names of his female co-workers. That reply was not allowed to pass, as someone subsequently said that the question was about a serious relationship with a girl. VP sideswiped the question and tried to move to the next.

Unfortunately, another reporter repeated the question. With the repetitive question, VP was becoming irked, but maintained his composure in responding. After all, VP is known for his politeness and amiable disposition towards the audience and showbiz press. Still, VP said that he has kept his relationships in private and away from the public. Another reporter asked VP to give names. The reporter was persistent and even enumerated the names of female celebrities who were linked with VP and reminded VP that he had one point or another, mentioned he had a crush on them. Even before VP could answer, another reporter butted in and said that when they asked those ladies if VP had courted them, they replied in the negative and denied any claims that he had tried to woo them.

Finally, the handlers noticed that VP was indeed getting irritated. Thus, the Q&A was stopped. The reporters were then ushered toward the food hall, so they can stop grilling VP. As the reporters were being fed, their respective envelopes were given. Left alone, VP could breathe freely, as he no longer had to answer the barrage of questions trying to corner him into revealing his private personal affairs.
