When Ill-advised Talent (IT) was starting out, his home network (HN) gave him the best projects that ranged from drama to comedy, and even hosting. However, IT could not hack it at all. While he was good at singing and keeping his body in shape, his projects just could not squeeze out his acting talent. The critics and the public have already pointed out and noticed his weakness. IT was soon relegated to stereotypical roles that highlighted his physical assets. Instead of working on his acting, IT opted to rant about leaving HN.
This move of HN surprised the public and soon fingers started to point at celebrities from other stations as the ones who were encouraging him to move out of HN. Of course, these celebrities, after acknowledging their closeness with IT, have denied any involvement in the decision of HN. Having been in the business longer than HN, these celebrities are aware of the power of a live contract, and in their hearts know that IT had made a wrong move.
Within a few days after his public declaration, a New Manager (NM) started posting schedules of the gigs of IT. NM was so smitten with IT that he managed to convince IT that he could handle his career. In the few days that followed, the publicity of IT was all over trimedia, and IT will be having a concert and endorsements. It seemed business as usual for IT.
Then, everything was silent and not much was heard of IT except when he surprised a close relative in a controversial public event or when his camp claimed that reconciliation with HN was dim. The reason for this silence was the falling out between NM and IT. Allegedly, IT got impatient as nothing was happening in his career and NM was not delivering as he had promised. This issue led to frequent arguments, and the eventual leaving of IT.
NM tried his best for IT, but he allegedly has his own agenda, an axe to grind at HN, as the network did not make him permanent. Thus, when IT and NM went to see the hotshot showbiz-friendly lawyer, NM even wanted to include the names of the bosses, whom he thought were responsible for him not being rehired, in the case.
Now, IT is frozen, but he is more active in updating his social media accounts. Despite fans clamoring for him to be man enough to apologize for the faux pas so he can return to HN, no one is budging.
