Gone Reputation

Money matters, especially when one no longer receives as many offers as before. Unfortunately, a store and its event organizers realized that adage the hard way. Since that moment, the parties vowed never to interact with Transformed Host (TH) again.
At the height of his career, TH was always in demand for events and shows. He has earned a reputation of competence and articulateness. Hence, TH was always the reliable person when organizers want a show to move on smoothly. Times change and TH moved on to other more challenging activities. Slowly, he became less visible in mainstream media.
Once in a while, TH would have endorsements and sometimes he would be invited for an appearance. Recognizing TH could make their event more attractive, a store invited TH and a couple of family members. The three showed up and everything went smoothly until TH presented the invoice for showing up.
The PR was shocked at the six-figure fee presented by TH. Surprised at the amount, the PR told TH that there was no such agreement. However, TH was adamant. Thus, the PR said that as they were not prepared for his demand of payment, they did not have that much cash on hand. The gift certificates were insufficient as well. To avoid negative social media publicity, the store gave what it could to TH and to compensate for the remaining amount, asked if store goods could be accepted as well. Taking advantage of the situation, TH got items he believed are worth his appearance.
Disappointed at the attitude of TH, the PR dropped the plan to obtain the services of TH to be the store’s social media ambassador. Such plan would have given more exposure to TH as the store has an international reputation. So, now, the store does not want to have anything to do with TH. Moreover, such incidents and attitude would have greater impact on the grapevine of public relations practitioners, particularly on which talents to hire.
‘The hypocrisy of some is that we like to think of ourselves as sophisticated and evolved, but we're still also driven by primal urges like greed and power.’ – Michael Leunig

So Many Secrets
Image courtesy of www.depositphotos.com
A celebrity is oftentimes only as good as the image he/she has in the eyes of the public. As local audiences are very sensitive, one action that seems to go against norms or the projected image could break a career. Thus, celebrities must be careful in the actions they do in public, mindful of their words, and maintain the image their management has set for them. Going against these practices could lead to the end of a career.
When Versatile Actor (VA) realized that his career needed a boost or at the very least a change in image, he had to look into options that could improve his image. Talent-wise, VA can sing and act. Over the years, he has proven that skills can be honed and that he is worth more than his looks. Nonetheless, interest in him seems to have waned, as he seems to have reached the plateau of his career.
Things changed when he met Creative Personality (CP). Thinking CP could change the course of his career, he talked to CP and asked if he could help him in his career. One of the factors that cannot seem to be detached from VA are rumors of his sexual orientation. By having another relationship that fits the norm might generate interest in him and deflect the rumors. CP gave in but they had to be honest with each other. CP found out why VA was keen on having her as his ‘trophy girlfriend’ and she understood as they seem to be riding in the same boat.
Most relationships do not last and so VA and CP were done after a few years. CP then pursued her truth, thinking that the aftermath of her breakup with VA would be smooth. To her surprise, VA gave his opinion on her present status, which did not sit well with her. As VA and CP already knew each other’s secrets, CP could not understand why VA was saying that he was surprised at her decision. CP felt that VA was such a hypocrite in saying that he did not know anything.
As CP could not get over the continued denial that VA knew her secret, she has told friends that she might reveal their arrangement and definitely, VA might be shocked himself.
