Caught in the Parking Lot Having Sex

Talented Artist TA was the toast of the town during TA's heyday. TA's feat is hard to duplicate, a tough act to follow. Apart from being unquestionably talented and smart, TA is the type that anybody would be proud to bring home to meet his/her parents, or so we thought.

Who would have known, that just like most of us – TA has skeletons in the closet as well. And it’s not just the ordinary kind of thing that TA did a few years back. Unknown to the adoring public, TA got involved in a public scandal.

For the longest time, TA had a crush on a middle aged Colleague in the Industry CI. It appeared that it was a mutual liking they had for each other, but owing to TA's image, TA just could not get involved with CI because of CI's status. Thus, what could have been a first public relationship for TA was halted before it could even begin.

Years after, TA and CI paths crossed at an event organized by some industry friends. Seeing each other for the first time in years - sparks flew, emotions ran high. Eventually, TA and CI decided to meet each other privately.

At a parking lot one night, as TA and CI were reminiscing ‘those days,’ they eventually got overtaken by their emotions - one thing led to another - and before they knew it, they were already humping in the car. They were having the time of their lives, until a loud tap on the car's window abruptly stopped them. TA and CI were shocked to see a police officer arresting them for public scandal! Reportedly, TA was shaking in fear when the officer refused to accept the bribe and decided to bring them to the police station for blotter report.

At the station, the situation worsen when the other police officers recognized who TA was. TA realized that for this scandal to go away, they need to offer a bigger amount. Can you guess what happened? Well, to cut the long story short, the policemen ended up splitting among themselves a seven digit bribe that TA offered without hesitation. It was just too good an offer for the policemen to turn down.

In Denial of the Actual Reason

Image courtesy of www.driverlayer.com

Producing a concert for any celebrity requires much risk, and producers must have the foresight that their chosen artists will be able to generate the sales needed to earn profit. This venture requires right timing, willing sponsors, and a hit combination of artists. Thus, when a performer is unable to perform in a concert, sponsors have all the right to back out, as the original plan will no longer push through.

When publicity materials of the concert of versatile celebrity (VC) were released, the lineup of guests included Phenomenal Talent (PT). VC and PT were in a hit series, which propelled PT to becoming a household name among viewers. After that hit series, PT’s succeeding projects proved bankable and he even obtained several endorsements. Meanwhile, VC’s career remained stable, but her lack of projects in the network lessened her exposure. Instead, intrigues seemed to proliferate in the publicity of VC’s activities.

Since VC and PT had chemistry, their combination was a guarantee that a concert would be well attended. Unfortunately, their partnership did not happen. As per standard operating practice, PT required a downpayment, which the producer was unable to give. Thus, PT had no choice but to back out, and the sponsors soon backed out upon learning that PT was no longer performing.

To worsen matters, tickets were not selling as expected. With low ticket sales and no reliable sponsors, the producer did not have enough funds to continue with the concert, and the venue was not yet paid even though the concert was just a few days away. Apparently, when PT backed out, the producer no longer wanted to continue, but VC persisted. After all, she was once heralded as a powerful concert performer, and her reputation requires having a concert.

The replacements of PT, Stubborn Hunk (SH) and Transferee Actor (TA), were unable to attract sponsors. Of course, they could not. Even if VC was once rumored to have fancied SH, his career is in the freezer due to his refusal to abide by the plans of the network for him. Meanwhile, TA never gained that many followers despite his moving from one station to another.

Finally, when VC realized that the producer could really not raise the required money, she turned to media and presented herself as the victim. This public revelation affected the reputation of the producer, who has been in the business for a time. Kibitzers questioned why he had the confidence to produce a concert even if he did not have the required capital. Yet, no one could raise the question that audiences might no longer be interested in watching VC perform.

Official truths are often powerful illusions. – John Pilger
