Just Look Into Your Own Career

In as much as crab mentality should be quashed in our culture, envy and insecurity prevail. This situation is quite evident in local showbiz, where every newbie has to prove his or her worth. Competition is tough and projects are few, which is why some talents resort to questionable actions.

Sometime ago, people in a network noticed that Young Talent 1 (YT1) has been saying negative comments about Young Talent 2 (YT2). The problem is that YT2 has been in the business longer than YT1, who cannot seem to get rid of her resentment towards the former.

Equally good looking and talented, YT1 and YT2 might seem to be competing for the same roles in projects. However, YT2 is more seasoned and more comfortable acting in front of the camera. Hence, she has gotten breaks in movies. Meanwhile, YT1 has not been shortchanged by the network, which has given her marked roles in various projects. She has even earned nominations and citations since the time she was given her first break. Although already a familiar name because she started early, YT2 has not really hit it big. Unlike her contemporaries, YT2 has been having difficulty reaching stardom. Apparently, her attitude towards work might be her biggest stumbling block. Whenever she falls in love, YT2 forgets that her priority should be her career. Thus, at one point, interest in Y2 was renewed when she was found to have a connection with another celebrity.

The question of whether YT1 believes that her badmouthing will not reach YT2 is a mystery, because no secret remains in the entertainment industry. Hence, her criticisms that ranged from acting to personal choices have reached the camp of YT2. Instead of confronting YT1, YT2 opted to take the mature path, which is to laugh off the gossip YT1 has been spreading. Confidently, YT2 know that she has the edge over YT1, and that circumstances have indicated that she can take the responsibility of addressing marked roles in various projects.

Hence, the root of the negative sentiment of YT1 towards YT2 will remain a question, but speculations point to the time when they were together in various projects. Perhaps, YT2 rubbed YT1 in a wrong way and YT1 would not want to take such incident sitting down. Still, the badmouthing of YT1 of a fellow talent has turned off others. It seems that her mouth contradicts the beauty that she projects.
