Celebrities sometimes get privileges from certain merchants who fancy them for their credibility, loyalty, and image. Thus, some companies feel it a privilege to send gifts to celebrities, especially if they are clients. However, such a relationship is not always reciprocated.

A leading company (LC) decided to send some of its products to TV Personality (TP). Other than having real good and high-end products, LC recognized TP as their valued client. When TP was contacted and informed that LC was going to send gifts, TP replied that she was excited. Thus, the messenger left the gift at LC's place and LC even sent TP the photographs of the said gift.

A few days later, TP replied that she did like the gift and she wanted exchange it, as it does not look good on her. LC wanted to please TP so LC sent several photos for TP to choose from. Finally, TP chose the gift she wanted which incidentally was the most expensive in the list.

After TP accpeted the gift that she asked for, LC requested if it were possible for TP to at least thank LC via TP’s social media account. To the shock of LC, TP abruptly replied that it was against her profession's ethics to post gifts.

What puzzled LC more was the sudden stern attitude of TP, which was the opposite of what she exuded when she was told she was going to receive an expensive gift. LC felt that TP took advantage of the situation. If that were really her stand, then TP should not have accepted the gift in the first place, and worse, she even asked for a replacement.
