Publicists can be so out of touch -- they don’t realize this “yeah, my parents are famous, but I work hard!” talking point isn’t going to play well. But I think media training that totally defangs a celeb can backfire too. Because then the celeb is boring.
I’d like to know how LRD really feels about being a nepo baby, even if that response gets her in trouble. But the response she went with tells me that perhaps she hasn’t really come to terms with how she feels.
Maybe the canned “I’m grateful” response would have been best, like you said.
Hollywood is a bore! I feel like that SATC character who fell out the window.
Great take on the Nepo baby thing...what cognitive dissonance this is for these folks. In a time where people twice the age of these Nepo babies (Bella Hadid, Lily-Rose Depp) can't even afford a 1-bdrm apartment because the cost of living is so high, while working full-time, it is amazing to me that a publicist wouldn't at least try to give her talking points that would at least acknowledge the criticism, in order to buffer it. I guess the reality is, that the criticism doesn't ultimately matter, however, since these folks will continue to collect checks and build prestige, while claiming that they have worked for every cent....
Unfortunately it seems they’re so disconnected from reality that they don’t even understand what it takes for actual people to work hard. It’s just a different level of hard work. Much harder work.

The “Artist” LRD doesn’t seem to have the decency to be grateful. So nonchalant about her success it’s quite apparent she is clueless.
Thank got I cancelled my Vogue subscription a while ago.
