Eroding the Family's Status

In showbiz, some actors are considered royalty as they belong to at least three generations of involvement in the business. Familiar last names often evoke the kindness of the original patriarch/matriarch. Sometimes, the children turn out to be better actors than their parents or their grandparents, but again, it is the character of the elder generation that is remembered. Nowadays, the youngest of these royal clans are not as careful in protecting the name that their grandparents, parents, uncles, and aunts have built through the decades. Sadly, for some of these new ones, they believe that the name is a privilege.

While this clan member (CM) has yet to formally enter showbiz, her name has been dragged into minor controversies mainly because of her lineage. Being part of the family that is known for their serious acting and sometimes, performing, CM is familiar because she carries the last name of the clan. One time, CM went to a bazaar and started looking at items. Then, she stopped at one booth and pointed at swimwear. 

Thinking aloud enough to be heard by the seller, CM said she really wanted that particular swimwear. The seller quoted the price, and was shocked at the reply of CM. 

CM said that she did not have money, and asked the seller if she would not mind being sponsoring the outfit. Puzzled, the seller looked at CM. Pushing the idea further, CM said that she and her sister would post the “sponsorship” on their IG accounts. Of course, older sister (OS) is famous and controversial, and has thousands of followers. 

Allegedly, CM has been doing this routine quite too often. The question is if her sister and the rest of her half-siblings know what she has been doing. Her father would not be too pleased, as well as her aunt who exudes such a classy personality.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. – John Woo
