Amanda Holden whinging about her daughter being called a nepo baby

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Amanda Holden's daughter is now a model

Amanda is whinging saying that no-one should call her a nepo baby, she earned her modelling contract by herself

The kid is a nepo baby sorry 😭😭😭 - but what's so wrong with that?!

Just own it. Amanda bringing attention to it has just made it worse imo

Yanbu - the kid is a nepo baby
Yabu - the kid isnt a nepo baby and achieved this contract all by herself, no-one should ever call her a nepo baby ever!

She absolutely wouldn't IMO. She's pretty enough but I think 'gorgeous' is pushing it.

I was just going to say this…it’s not exclusive to the entertainment industry in any way shape or form. All parents help their children if they can. I’ve helped many family members get a foot in at my workplace. That’s the norm no?

Yes, exactly & a bit like musical theatre - how many can make a good living?

@SweetTalkinWookie , Of course. Nose jobs, teeth straightening, dermatology can help a lot. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear though.

The ones I was thinking of were the average looking children of some celebrities. They have the polished appearance of the wealthy but that's it.

No , she is at University here in England

He was: Mimi Rogers. But he married her in 1987, by which time he'd already had major career success with films like Risky Business (1983), Top Gun and The Color of Money (both 1986).

Not a particular fan of Cruise's but it's inaccurate to imply that his early career success was down to marrying someone also in the business.

stuck up cow who got her break from being married to les dennis

jack quaid embraces that hes a nepo baby instead of moaning own it

You basically need to know that your living costs (in a big city) are covered and any work you get is a bonus. It's not really sustainable for anyone who needs to work to live.

100% this.

no such thing as bad publicity

no need for the comments on appearance tho, we need to stop attacking women on their looks. Full stop.

I just wonder why so many of these young people, who have access to the very best education, all want to pursue modelling despite their looks? It is ludicrous. Even Brooklyn Beckham 'modelled' at one point. Same with Lila Moss Hack and Anais Gallagher. I'm not being nasty, neither of those girls are unattractive, but also they aren't really model material IMO. Just not striking or interesting enough.

@CatHairEveryWhereNow , contacts can open doors, but following your mother and grandfather into the family business isn't nepotism.

If you got your place at Law School because your relative was a prominent lawyer, when you didn't deserve a place on merit, would be nepotism.

If I were an absolute talent vacuum like Amanda I would be counting my lucky stars I was still being employed, not grumbling about being able to give my child a leg up thanks to it. Most people would love to be able to help give their kid a head start. Then as a PP indicated, they sink or swim on merit, a la Brooklyn.
Amanda and Alesha sat judging other people's talent is just a piss take.

(I don't know enough about Louis to comment on whether he can dance or not, before anyone says I'm just slagging the women. I'm prepared to believe he is winging it too!)

Nepo baby is a stupid term made up recently by journalists.

All these vacuous tv personalities and equally vacuous children. How refreshing it would be to see one of their kids become scientists and research a cure for cancer or something instead of another bloomin model. After all they would've gone to the best school money could buy.
As street artist Plastic Jesus coined - stop making stupid people famous.

You’ve got it right there. I don’t think many of us are particularly bothered when the child of an actor becomes an actor.

What nepo babies are is people insisting they’d have made it anyway and it’s pure talent. Most success has a little bit of luck, just acknowledge your parent was your luck!

? He was already hugely famous by the time he married Mimi Rogers. Top Gun etc

You'd get on the law degree due to grades at UK univeristies - getting on post graduate training contracts post law degree in solicitor firms was where relative struggled with no contacts.

The barrier wasn't the inital law degree but afterwards - The Secret Barrister books do make mention of similar issue regarding access to placements and I did link to students in area survey who think it's an issue/ barrier to them.

Fair play to Tilly, she graduated with a degree in Psychology from Nottingham University which so many nepos wouldn't have been bothered to do when backed by so much money and celebrity.
Regarding Amanda Holden daughter - she is pretty in those massively airbrushed pictures. So many girls are equally pretty but wouldn't have stood a chance of getting a contract.

What’s wrong with being called a Nepo Baby, Amanda? As Brooklyn said “Jesus was a nepo baby” 😂

I don't think she'd have made it without her mother's connections. Yes, she's pretty, but she's not catwalk material; she's neither unique nor interesting looking enough for the high-end jobs.

Amanda Holden is obviously famous, but I don't think famous enough for anyone to care if her daughter is a model.

The only reason being a nepo baby becomes a problem is when nepo babies bend over backwards to reject the label. It sounds out of touch and ungrateful.

Plus it’s generally not an issue if they are shown to be genuinely talented. But then you have minimally skilled ones like chef beckham or raff law where it’s obvious their name has given them their careers.

I mean what is anyone working for if not to be able to help their kids out?

Complaining about it is pointless 😄

Agree with this, its to create controversy and attention, I wouldnt have known otherwise

Harsh

There does seem to be more of the kids heavily relying on their parents fame though

All these parent/baby travel shows
