FASHION PULIS: The bait

Published May 27, 2023 02:23 am
How deep is the relationship of a Local Celebrity (LC) and Rumored Partner (RP)? For many years, LC has been private over her personal matters and only answered questions regarding her career choices. Her fans and showbiz reporters respected her decision and continued to support her endeavors that moved up her status. However, unexpected circumstances revealed what LC probably dreaded most, that is, exposing her supposed to be low profile relationship. All the while, the public thought LC was happy being single, but apparently her attention was given to RP.
The sad part is that the grapevine is buzzing that LC was allegedly a willing participant in RP’s business deals. Given her familiar face, LC became the main point in developing trust in RP. Like a good bait, LC did her part well. Then, reality hit. Business dealings made by RP did not materialize and the failed promises were revealed. The people who trusted RP and LC ended up with disappointment. They had no choice but to take the next step to call out the two via the corresponding means. Worse, they assumed that LC had full knowledge of what was going on because she was with RP. Now, the question is if their assumption is correct and if they were true, damage control on LC’s part can be very costly. ‘Be aware, beware what lies, what lies? ... behind the light... Some people are highly skilled manipulators. And some people's whole lives are built on lies. They can cause a huge amount of damage to others.’ ― Efrat Cybulkiewicz

Online presence

Sometimes, when they can get away without being recognized, single or not even, celebrities join dating apps. Commonly, anonymity is the option as they can be fair game for unwanted attention, overwhelming date requests, etc. All in the fun as they say. When one joins a dating app, he/she must be ready for the rewards or consequences. Although very seldom would a celebrity admit meeting his/her partner via a dating app, one who has a successful online relationship will often openly share about finding true love. As long as the celebrity behaves and follows the rules on online dating, he/she will be safe from bashing and possible shaming if he/she turns down a request or someone pining for him/her. Meanwhile, Controversial Dude (CD) apparently has an account in one of those dating apps. His presence has left subscribers wondering what he is still doing there. After all, CD has declared he has found a new love. Is he doing the collect and select routing via an app? His followers are hoping his love will be the lasting one. ‘The internet may have made finding love easier, but it hasn't made keeping it any simpler.’ ― medicosaurabh Follow @FashionPulis on Twitter and @fashionpulis on Instagram.
