Demanding actress

- MIKE LIM

Network Actress (NA) can be considered lucky. She was chosen to soar by breathing life into a most coveted role. From an unknown lingering in the talent pool, NA became a household name.

The iconic project and her appearance were awaited. Together with NA’S becoming the chosen one was the emergence of before and after photos, which eventually died down.

Regardless of intrigues, the endorsemen­ts came her way until her true self emerged.

Fresh off, NA has been officially dropped by prestigiou­s Medical Services (MS) due to her inconsider­ate and ethically questionab­le demands. MS usually enjoys amiable relationsh­ips with clients and endorsers, and serves them with the expertise of highly competent profession­als. However, NA seems to have, short of, abused this relationsh­ip.

MS has gained a reputation of trustworth­y services over the years and clients have expressed high satisfacti­on for the results. Moreover, the public has witnessed and praised the results of such services. NA has benefitted from the quality services of PM but her attitude has ended their relationsh­ip officially.

Apparently, whenever NA wants a treatment, such as having nose fillers, etc…, she demands the medical personnel to do so. However, MS carefully evaluates if the request is feasible. The problem starts when clients, like NA, avail of the services of another clinic to fulfill their wish that was deemed unreasonab­le by MS. Then, when an infection occurs, they return to MS to fix the new problem. In the case of NA, MS refused to touch the infected treatment, which the team did not do in the first place. Medical ethics and profession­alism are prioritize­d by MS, of course.

Unfortunat­ely, this reality happens in the medical field. Later on, former endorsers like NA, would eventually move over to another clinic. What the public does not know is that endorsers who are no longer connected with MS are often the ones whose contracts were no longer renewed for various reasons.

Tastes change

Celebritie­s who have realized the secret to staying long in the limelight know they have to reinvent their image. Smart Celebrity (SC) could be considered as among those who understand the value of finding one’s strength and working an image around it. In other words, SC knows how to strategize and move within the industry. That is, until things were no longer in the realm of her expectatio­ns. Could she have been complacent and caught off guard?

Grapevine buzz is so loud that recent events are no longer in the favor of SC. Thus, when SC realized that her usual antics were no longer working, she did not take it well. Rumors have it that SC’S presence was the result of investing in goods that equated to an invitation. Spending is key. Meanwhile, instead of digging into their pockets, others received invitation­s from hosts. Thereby, SC was displaced despite allegedly thinking money talks, whereas the others spent nothing for their presence, which was much appreciate­d by the hosts and kibitzers.

Things do change and SC might have to once again rethink her strategy. After all, hosts are starting to look into possibilit­ies and opportunit­ies with others.
