My sibling is a celebrity AMA

[zedtree]

I won’t be saying who they are.

I recently spoke to a friend about it who
had lots of questions which lead to an interesting conversation, things I’d never said or thought about before.

When I was younger I used to feel incredibly jealous of them and had a very short and unsuccessful attempt at creating my own fame.

Now I’m older with my own dc and have seen the effects up close I definitely think the negatives out way the positives and it’s not something I would ever want for my children.

AMA

Not obvious to me.i thought you meant Trinny and Susanah 🤣

Some years ago I once overheard the receptionist at work answering the phone to a customer. She asked their name and then said "What - the Paul Daniels?".

Yes, it was. 😂😂

This whole thread is here so people can find out...

Yes, I won’t say what but nothing major and I haven’t hugely enjoy it. It’s a lot of fuss, stress, pressure and fakeness but then I don’t love big non celebrity events. There’s been some smaller things which I have enjoyed though especially where my sibling has had more involvement and there are others that I know there.
People are different on and off camera but most are careful because they’re still in public. I have heard some stories of what goes on backstage/in dressing rooms/ toilets though that people would be shocked by.

In the past I would but not anymore, I will just shut the conversation down.

Well they could just deny it..... everything single thing OP has said fits 100% with KP. Literally everything.

My question is why she is doing this?...2-3 days now.

Yeah, to be fair, I doubt she really makes the list. D-list at best, probably — but I'm not very good at judging these things. I don't watch much TV and I'm not particularly plugged into that world. My colleagues were going on about The Traitors for ages and I didn't even realise for a while that they were talking about a TV show. I had absolutely no idea what they were on about.

I do know she presented one of the Love Island after-hours spin-off shows. Her sister said at the time that she watched her on it and could tell that she really didn't like, or rather looked down on, the contestants. So I think she genuinely wants the work and the exposure that comes with it; she just doesn't seem to have much respect for the people she's interviewing etc.

No not Trinny and Susannah. Younger millennial generation

'every single thing OP has said fits 100% with KP. Literally everything'

You must have been reading a different thread to me then.

OP do you think your sibling and others like them receive sufficient support & advice on how they deal with media?
Over the years have come across numerous famous/notable” people through work. It was always obvious that many fell foul of managers who exploited the big media splashes for their own good fortunes, even when it was clear that this was often mentally detrimental to those paying for their management. Always made me sad to think somewhere down the line, these people have their own families & lives, who are protected, but the celebrity is expected to just weather any storm, often with no clarification’s offered by their mgt.

I haven’t met that many, I was also talking about stories I’ve heard from my sibling but I have also been to events and backstage on shows at times where there have been numerous different celebs involved.

Ages of the children doesn’t, I think.

They’re older than me so I can’t really say exactly what they were like as a child but I think it’s a bit of both, they thrive on attention and have seemed to always get it but I guess they also felt it lacking in ways.

Ok I still can’t get it; the person I thought of from this new info doesn’t fit.Would you mind PM’ing the name to me?!

I’m very invested in this side quest!

Ohhh I'd love love love to know who these nasty celebs are! (Deffo Holly Willoughby is one of them by all accounts!).
I do love a good gossip ha :) x

You can say that some celebs are "unpleasant".
Would that term ever be applied to your sibling?

-Communicating and teamwork
-I said this earlier on but the main one that stands out to me is refusing to get in the car owned by somebody who worked for them or just their complete lack of understanding of everyday chores and life admins the rest of us have to do.
-Yes they have done, lots.
-Definitely when I was a teenager/young adult , now I don’t entertain that idea.

Hmm..Caroline sadly no longer here.Laura is Irish and Maya from Bristol.im into L.I can you tell?🤣

Haha I don't see her name on that list!

She did have an almighty falling out with the poor soul who is top of that list (late of this parish). It was over a job that neither of them got anyway (an X Factor gig, not the main event though, another spin off...went to Sarah-Jane Crawford in the end). CF was the bigger name obviously and was every much in the running for it, then said personality in question put her hat into the ring too to try and get the gig (well at the advice of her management I guess). But it absolutely wrecked their friendship...

Imagine refusing to get in the car.
How arrogant and unpleasant.

Where has she mentioned the kids ages? Price has young kids and adult kids... Well has in the loosest sense as they aren't in her "care"

@zedtree I get you love your sister but stop painting her as some kind of innocent victim....it's shite

Sarah Cox?

Sure, by some people. I’m very aware that celebs are real people who have good and bad days and could have all sorts going on in their lives. I would only judge someone when l have seen or heard of repeated nasty behaviour with proof.
