I can't boast of an enviable knowledge of show business events and currently popular people, neither foreign nor domestic. However, the name that I remember and that has remained etched in my memory is Aunt Becky or Lori Loughlin, an actress known for her role as the aforementioned Aunt Becky in the popular series Full House, which aired on TV programs around the world in the late 80s and early 90s.
I remember looking at my Aunt Becky, who was probably in her mid-20s at the time, with love, and imagining how cool I would be when I grew up. I would wear earrings just like that, I would be able to do whatever makeup I wanted, and maybe even live in San Francisco.
I don't live in San Francisco, I don't wear makeup, and my ears are too colombia whatsapp list for earrings, but 20 years later, Aunt Becky is back in the spotlight, only this time not for her role in the sequel to Full House, but because of a scandal that the American and some European media are enjoying, involving bribery and the admission of children to prestigious colleges. Children who shouldn't be at those colleges.
There are a lot of famous names in this scandal called Varsity Blues, but I only know Aunt Becky, I grew up with her, so I was interested in the story that revolved around her and her daughter Olivia Jade, who turned out to be a fairly popular YouTuber (2 million subscribers) and Instagrammer (1.4 million followers) with numerous lucrative contracts with brands like Sephora, Urban Outfitters, HP, Estee Lauder, Amazon, and other famous names.
Since I had never heard of Olivia Jade (to me, Aunt Becky has forever remained a wrinkle-free, child-free kid, especially 20-year-old children), I started doing some research (being the digital marketer I am who doesn't know every YouTuber in the world, or at least those with more than 2 million subscribers) and concluded that she was very natural in front of the camera and that if I were a brand targeting the teen or tween market, I would probably work with her.
More specifically, I would have cooperated before this scandal because right now no one is cooperating with her anymore, and it is questionable how the case will develop in the future. Which brings us to the point of my story, which is that Aunt Becky is a toxic parent.
Toxic parents are often very close and connected to their children, which is very visible in Olivia's vlogs and Instagram, who looks like a mini Aunt Becky. Toxic parents also completely ignore their child's wishes, so Olivia repeatedly stated that she did not want to study, but she enrolled anyway because her parents could not accept the idea of her not studying.
If they had reconciled, none of this would have happened. Whether influencer is a real profession is not a topic we will discuss now, but the fact is that an influencer of this rank, who collaborates with so many brands and has his own cosmetic line, earns more than an emergency room doctor in any city in the world.
Aunt Becky, with her toxic approach, has managed to ensure that her child is left jobless, college-bound, and forever tarnished by this unfortunate scandal. Aunt Becky is beyond help, but her actions may help other parents who are on their way to ruining their children's lives.
