Must She be So Proud

Whenever a celebrity is seen in a public place, onlookers, fans, and non-fans make it a point to acknowledge the presence of the said celebrity. Some may establish eye contact, wave shyly, smile, and try to approach the said celebrity. By contrast, others simply pretend the celebrity is not there and allow him/her to enjoy the place.

However, much is expected from local celebrities in public. This expectation is the result of the image of the roles these celebrities have portrayed in their projects. Thus, villains are usually not approached as funny actors. Some fans could not disassociate the image from the actual personality. Rarely are celebrities who are consistent with their image and their real selves. Rarer are kind celebrities on and off camera.

Over the years, Alluring Performer (AP) has relied on her physical beauty to make sure she has projects with her network and endorsements as well. Despite the physically demanding image AP has, her projects often portrayed her as an underdog or a victim of circumstances. Unlike other sexy actresses who end up with antagonist roles, AP is often given characters who are subjected to being bullied at the beginning and to triumphant moments at the end. This combination of beauty and attractive physique has given way to her various endorsements.

Hence, when a group of young people saw AP with her friends at a popular place, they were stunned at her physical appearance. Seeing a celebrity in person is different from seeing them on TV. In real life, celebrities might not be as tall or as fat as the TV projects. Thus, the people who saw AP became curious and started to show warm gestures, like waving.

When the fans tried to say ‘Hi!’ to AP, they were shocked at the reaction of her entourage. The group stared gesturing that the fans should stay away from AP. In fact, the fans felt that the entourage was trying to intimidate them.

Well, AP could have resolved the matter by simply gesturing back to the fans. However, she did not. Instead of a smile or a wave back, AP did not react at the fans, who felt her rude attitude. Disappointed at the attitude of AP, fans were turned off. Moreover, they could not understand why AP has such attitude of haughtiness and pride. At least, the fans had first-hand experience as to why AP could not shake of her negative image despite the damage control being done by her management.

Ignoring negative things that need to be changed is destructive and does nothing to alleviate negativity. Instead, we should focus on the way we're treating other people in our brief interactions with them. - Tom Rath
