Celebville Habits

Is it a norm or habit for some celebrities to behave like hooligans? Well, that is the question on my mind as I am writing this blog. Some celebrities seem to think that they are high and mighty until something tints their image, then they become humble. Some of them see themselves as being untouchable. The likes of Kelly Khumalo, who rose into stardom after her hit track ‘Qinisela’, and then of course, her alleging to be a virgin and even writing a song about it.

At the feather awards that took place on the 7^th of November 2012, Kelly Khumalo put on a stunning performance and then afterwards, came the drama. She had a little too much to drink that evening and so she caused a scene when two unknown women took pictures of her. Kelly who then shouted at the two ladies using vulgar words and then proceeded to threaten to destroy their camera if they did not delete the pictures immediately.

During all that commotion, an unknown guy who is said to be a ‘friend’ arrived and grabbed her and dragged her towards the car. But Kelly refused to get in the car, her sister Zandi also tried fruitlessly to convince her to leave the two ladies alone and get into the car. Then the man picked her up like a sack of potatoes and bundled her into her car. http://www.sundayworld.co.za/news/2012/11/12/drunk-kelly-assails-fans

Now you as a publicist or in this case a manager, how are you supposed to deal with such actions? Because you are in fact the one who must clean up the mess by making sure that Kelly has a clean image so that she can be a positive role model for young girls. My question is, how do you go about dealing with such a person, after all…you are the one responsible for her image!
