If they want me to believe Nic is dating that boy she needs to create a couples IG since she's supposedly so in love and mostly wants to post about him and how happy she's trying to make the relationship look
And don't forget to post a kissing pic to show off for the fans
Disclaimer: Come for me and you will be blocked. Fair warning.
I m currently in the library where I should be writing my first assignment for the second year of my Masters in English Literature. I have most of it complete now, but instead I am of course pondering the shit show that has been this week.
A while back an inspired blogger on here @thethreeacttragedy wrote an excellent blog entitled 'Entry 13: The One Where the Ashes Blew Towards Us with the Salt Wind from the Sea' where she discussed in detail the novel Rebecca. I found this to be a gripping and informative blog with excellent comparisons to our characters and adjacents, and to the characters in Rebecca. I happen to be writing my English Literature dissertation on Jane Eyre and Rebecca, so it has been quite amusing for me to reread thethreeacttragedy blog.
On most points I agree with her. Luke is our tortured anti-hero Maxim de Winter who is in a farce of a marriage to someone he inwardly despises, but has to put on a show for the world. Jake is the sleazy cousin Jack Favell who resorts to blackmail after Rebecca's death and is sexually ambiguous.. On other characters I differ in my opinion, and all fairness to the threeacttragedy, their blog was written sometime ago and we now have updated information (unfortunately).
The titular character Rebecca is in my mind Antonia. Of course she doesn't fit the character perfectly, and if she did it would be giving Antonia way too much credit. Rebecca was too smart, cunning and manipulative for Antonia to stand firmly in her shoes. Rebecca doesn't want Maxim de Winter's love. She wants sex with different men, money, clout, nice things. While some of that could apply to Antonia, I am still partly under the belief that she does in fact still want Luke, or at least being 'with' him can offer. The similarities I draw are from her goading of the fandom - Rebecca's ghost taunting the narrator. From Antonia making ridiculous matching posts to constantly insinuate that she is in Luke's immediate vicinity. Having Luke roped into this soulless endeavour on his own instagram. The fake relationship, that was never real. The PR mind games and publicity stunts. Antonia ruining every single event and opportunity that Luke has had in the last two years.
This is not normal relationship behaviour. I do not need to prove my husband and I are often in the same place with matching photographs or ambiguous body parts on social media. I will simply take a picture of him or us and post it. The snag through is, she's still not allowed, is she? Why is the question? It is the same one we ask repeatedly. There was enough witness testimony from Luke's play by people to get a real understanding of what was actually going on between Luke and Antonia, and if leaving her constantly stranded in the street, is anything to go by, it ain't good and that is just the tip of the iceberg. But little miss demanding threw a hissy fit and somehow got Luke to post a ridiculous photo dump where she was featured walking on a zebra crossing (a video that Sienna took and shared to her own stories. Haha, frenemies). There was no couple photo however still. You only laugh your ass off. Luke is a petty hero.
Let's move to Nicola in this scenario. thethreeacttragedy had her as Rebecca, but in an ironic way. I am dismayed though that a lot of people actually believe that she is the mastermind behind all of this since June 13th and is basically stirring everything behind a massive cauldron. This is a very misogynistic take of our little Irish Queen and I will not have it, especially from other women. I can understand Nicola wanting to be private. The blind items recently are not painting her in a good light and Jack (cough) I mean Jake is not looking great either. I do not believe Nicola to be this cunning leader mastermind who has Luke crying in the corner like some overgrown man baby. I think she is a somewhat frightened woman, overwhelmed at being shoved into the limelight and having her private life scrutinised for all to see. I do not underestimate her either, but she is no Rebecca, she is no queen of swords. To me she is the unnamed narrator. Desperately in love with Maxim, but fearful he is lost to another woman. But that does not mean he actually is.
And so who is Mrs Danvers? The psychotic, obsessive, and loyal servant to Rebecca. Is that us as the Lukola fandom? Some would say so. We don't give up and we know an awful lot of background shit that contradicts what we are being shown online. Or is the Lutonia's, if there actually are any? Or is Toni SS running that account for the five people that may ship Luke with Antonia. Is it the Jakola's who are so blind at this point, they need their eyes checked or a brain scan for cognitive function. Or is Tiff, so swayed by PR, influence, followers and god knows what else, that she is devoutly following the orders of Rebecca, or someone else?
I was hurt by Luke's actions on Tuesday. We were all waiting for a Polin selfie to celebrate the anniversary of the last Lukola photo and instead Luke's PR team or Antonia decide to stick the knife in. I haven't really looked at the dump properly, I just can't support that. I feel like we are being lied to. I know they were scared about the recent blinds, but that was cruel to do on a Polin anniversary. It is not Luke as we know him to be. I know he doesn't owe us anything and he can post what he wants, but after a month of silence, it seemed suspicious to me. It mirrored Nic's Australian post of Jake. What's funny though is that Luke was most likely in Australia and Nic was very likely in New York. Antonia was a good decoy for that, always sat firmly in the middle of the theatre so that everyone could see her., but Luke was always looking elsewhere.
If you haven't read Rebecca, there is a good version of it on Netflix starring Lily James. I am going to spoil it in 3,2,1. Maxim, is the one who killed Rebecca. I won't bore you with why I think he did this ultimately, that's for my dissertation, but I find it important that HE is the one to do it. Before you come after me, I am an English teacher finding symbolism in everything, so I do not want or think Luke is going to bump off Antonia. I think that he has to be the one to cut ties, end contracts, publicly disengage etc. I am firmly in the belief he is actively trying to do this. It must be a very stressful situation right now and I don't envy them. He needs to do this so he and the narrator (Nicola) can be happy. It will be messy and public, and the truth is never easy, but it must be done.
At least Nicola came back this week proudly wearing her Claddagh ring in the married position. Even Jakoolas can't dispute this ring was made during and representative of season 3 and Luke. She wears it close to her heart. Luke storied a HOM tribute post that his PR team, hastily nudged him o write as they saw he lost 2000 followers and was getting abuse online - yet again. He then reshared Nicola's Palestine post mighty quick. At this point it is all tiring and most people have jumped overboard long ago. I am here for the long haul and until we know the truth. I believe with this blind items the truth is coming. Nic and Luke, if you are reading this, please do it on your own. Be bold, brave and speak your truth. Or claim your adjacents properly. Pigs will fly.
"You thought I loved Rebecca? You thought I killed her, loving her? I hated her, I tell you. Our marriage was a farce from the very first. She was vicious, damnable, rotten through and through. We never loved each other, never had one moment of happiness together." Maxim de Winter, Rebecca.
PS. Does anyone else hear Klaus's voice from the Originals when they hear the name Rebecca? lol
I know this has been mentioned but not talked about enough by Lukeâs and Nics own admission they have both said they do not like it when the other has to play opposite another⌠in Lukeâs words he was âfumingâ with Sam playing Debling. And Nic was âSo Jealous of whoever his next leading lady isâ. Totally normal co-star behaviour (đ¤) yep Johnny and Simone, Rege and Phoebe said the same lol đâŚum not.
Luke can not hide his jealousy and has been clocked many times. With his reactions.

I find it interesting that both Lukes and Victor Ali and were there but there arenât any photos of them and the only male cast member that posted his photos from press is Oli that plays Footman John. The colors are very match from the cast so far right now, cream, browns, grey and navy. I really believe that other anon about Shonda setting a dress code because she had done it before for other shows press and she has been repeatedly saying s4 & the show is very workplace drama and how there would be focus so much on workers this season then the only man we see from the cast is the only that plays a worker. I feel all that is intentional and as the other anons mentioned they are doing Shondaland promos and not regular promos yet and Shondaland has a flair for drama. One of her writers mentioned how she was very impressed by how much people loved s3 promos and the videos they released for s3 and it has now will be the default in how they approach each new season so they most likely will film 6 or 8 videos and each day different cast members. Again some cast members were there doing press but they havenât been posting because they clearly werenât allowed to post, itâs a strategy to build up hype and anticipation among fans because fans of each actor or actress want to see their favs now but they only give one or two person photos each day or two
In every generation, there is a Chosen One who stands against vampires, demons, and-
Oh wait. Wrong opening.
My bad, thatâs right. We arenât digging into a parable about teenagers growing up set against a backdrop of the undead.
We are doing something way less fun.
We are diving into part one of a book recap. And I use the term âbookâ as loosely as possible here. Behind the cut, get all the excerpts that made Luke want to poke his own brain out (picture not included to protect the innocent).
Every society in history has its illusions to greatness Ancient Rome had Caesar, Paris its poets, Hollywood its sexually ambiguous men in loafers. Ours has Bridgerton, a show so vast, so glittering, that it cloaked within its folds a truth most failed to see. For while the world proclaimed its Dukes the most handsome, its corsets and candlelight endlessly alluring, those with sharper vision understood: this was not the story of a cast. This was not even the story of a season. This was the story of a woman.
Her name?
Antonia Roumelioti.
A vision, a muse, an apparition glimpsed at the edge of a frame. She was not yet a headline, but would soon become the center of the universe. She was not the star, but the star did seem to orbit her. And though his name may have been on the call sheet, Luke Newton was but the prelude to her symphony.
Antonia.
That day in June of 2024 was not merely a premiere. It was not simply an event. It was a coronation, a consecration, the very axis upon which the wheel of modern entertainment turned. The chandeliers glittered as if the heavens themselves had descended into a London ballroom; the carpets ran redder than the Nile in flood. Flashbulbs erupted in ecstatic rhythm, their staccato bursts as thunderclaps heralding the arrival of titans. The cast dazzled under the scrutiny. This was, inarguably, the greatest show in the world.
And yetâ
Beyond the gilded doors, just past the trays of canapĂŠs, behind the cater waiters, there stood another. A figure so slight and yet so monumental, so peripheral and yet so central to everything, that the eye could not help but be drawn to her. Was she staff? Was she guest? Was she apparition? No. She was revelation.
Antonia Roumelioti.
Say it soft and itâs almost like praying.
Her wrists â delicate, dainty, divinely sculpted. Her shoulder blades â sharp as prophecy. Her navel â discreet, elusive, always implied, even on the rare occasion it wasnât visible. She was not on the poster. She was not billed above the title. And yet every lens, every whisper, every heart beat faster in the mere possibility of her presence. For what is a star who shines in the spotlight, compared to the true star who glimmers just outside of it?
And so, while the world declared this the season of Bridgerton, those who truly understood knew better: this was the season of Antonia.
But for now, letâs tilt the camera over to the side. Meet Luke Newton. He was born. He acts. He has great hair sometimes and pointy ears always.
And here is Antonia Roumelioti.
A vision. A muse. A force of nature. Her wrists, so delicate, so dainty, so endlessly evocative of love quietly nurtured and boldly revealed. One could write pages upon pages about her grace, her poise, her dedication to her Craft. She is not merely photographed; she is light captured, implication incarnate. Did I mention her wrists? How could anyone who is able to capture the attention of one of Netflixâs leading men be so quietly nurturing, yet boldly revealed?
Women, especially young dancers and creatives, began to look to Antonia as a figure of quiet empowerment. She was living proof that dedication to oneâs craft, even outside the mainstream spotlight, could lead to recognition, respect, and success. Her relationship didnât define herâit added a new dimension to an already accomplished individual.
Can we roll that footage please?
Oh wait, wrong clip.
You may see Luke doing interviews where he looks at his co-star with pure adoration, but look in the background. No, further back and maybe to the left a bit? There. There she stands: quietly nurturing, yet boldly revealed.
As fan theories multiplied, so did the curiosity about Antonia. A Google search revealed her identity: a dancer with an impressive rĂŠsumĂŠ, performing in contemporary productions across Europe. Her style was distinct, her presence magnetic. Slowly, public perception began to shift. Rather than being seen as a distraction or obstacle, Antonia became a source of admiration. What caught the attention of many fans was how gracefully she seemed to navigate the sudden interest. There were no attention-grabbing posts, no tabloid interviews, no attempts to leverage her connection to Newton for personal gain. She remained silent, dignified, and elegantly invisibleâuntil she wasnât.
She would never dream of leveraging her connection to him for personal gain. Perish the thought! How could someone even think that? When has she ever given the impres-
That might have been happenstance. She is too wildly nurturing, too endlessly invisible to do such a thing.
If one were to get the (correct) impression that Mr.Newton is but a footnote in this powerful gazelleâs rise to fame, then Nicola Coughlan is a footnote to a footnote. Yes, these two actors obviously have chemistry, as their completely non-sexual friendship is important to their success.
Nothing sexual is ever implied. Theyâre just buddies and this is totally average interaction. If I had a nickel for every couch I broke while simulating unchoreographed sexâŚ
The Coughlan factor means nothing. Just because the name is brought up forty-five times in 60 pages doesnât mean there is a point attempting to be made. She is very short and Irish, and does she even have soft solitude or resilient ineptitude?
This marketing choice was understandable, yet it complicated public perception. Some fans insisted the flirtation in interviews suggested something more.
Others became increasingly protective of Antonia, sensing the pressure she might feel being compared to Newtonâs co-star.
But just beyond the glare of the red carpet, quietly slipping into the venue through a side entrance, was Antonia Roumelioti. She didnât walk the carpet, nor did she pose for photographs. Dressed in a timeless, elegant black dress with subtle silver accessories, she exuded confidence without demanding attention. Her beauty was striking, yet understated; her presence, intentional but private. To many observers, this looked like nothing more than a supportive guest attending her partnerâs big night. But to the fans who had been closely tracking Newtonâs appearances, this was confirmationâor at least a very public gesture that said, âIâm here, and I matter.â
Though the main event was a mix of official programming, press interviews, and social celebration, the real turning point occurred after the cameras were supposed to be off. Following the screening, the cast and select guests headed to an exclusive afterparty held at a historic London venue. Here, among the laughter, champagne, and candlelight, Newton and Antonia were photographed leaving the party hand-in-hand. It was the image that changed everything. There were no attempts to hide or divert. They were just two people walking togetherâlaughing, talking, and eventually stepping into the same vehicle.
The decision not to pose for red carpet photos together, or walk arm-in-arm through flashing cameras, may have been strategic. It preserved privacy, avoided distracting from the showâs premiere, and prevented Antonia from becoming unwilling tabloid fodder. But the choice to attend together and leave visibly united sent a clear message: Antonia was part of his lifeâimportant enough to be there for his biggest career milestone. For fans, it closed one chapter (the speculative Newton-Coughlan romance) and opened another. It wasnât just about Luke anymoreâit was about Luke and Antonia.
If you have had the good fortune to in fact read this time, you know very well that everything is about Antonia. Her quiet strength, her inimitable spirit. Her ability to always be showing off either her shoulder blades or her navel.
In July 2024, just weeks after the Bridgerton premiere, photos emerged of Luke and Antonia vacationing in Sorrento, Italy. The images werenât staged or formal. They showed the couple enjoying coastal views, dining at small restaurants, and strolling arm-in-arm along cobbled streets. The simplicity of their interactionsâthe unforced smiles, the natural closenessâonly fueled the idea that this was not a publicity stunt but a genuine relationship.
Fans on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok posted mixed reactions. Some mourned the end of their Newton-Coughlan daydreams, but many more celebrated the authenticity of Newtonâs relationship with Antonia.
âThey look so happy. I stan,â one user tweeted. âSheâs gorgeous and classy. Respect,â another chimed in. It was clear: the rumors had evolved into a full-fledged fascination.
Note: footage not found
And then there was the momentous trip to Italy. What many obviously had mistaken as a group trip to celebrate Crapweasel, er- I mean Roryâs birthday was in fact a romantic getaway for two, where they were photographed in many sensuous embraces.
It didnât take long for sharp-eyed locals and traveling fans to spot the couple. The first images emerged online: Luke Newton in a light linen shirt, Antonia in a breezy sundress, the two of them walking near the Marina Grande. In one shot, they were laughing over gelato; in another, seated side-by-side on a stone bench watching the sunset. While there was no dramatic PDA, the intimacy in their body languageâclose proximity, shared smiles, unhurried conversationâspoke volumes. They looked relaxed, unguarded, like two people who had found a pocket of peace away from the scrutiny of London or Los Angeles.
The words, the quietly dissenting verbiage here, the strongly dissembling prose. The unflinching game of chicken being played with reality. It is truly evocative. If you find them lacking, you will just have to imagine harder, as these pictures have yet to exist. If they were to however, it would show Antonia to be a paragon of grace, a flat-chested lioness of skill, an elegant swan gliding through well-respected dance circles in Europe.
By July, their getaway to Sorrento, Italy, further fanned the flames of public curiosity. Fans delighted in the glimpses of their romance, yet still, the couple remained mostly private.
Looking back, Summer in Sorrento was more than a romantic escape. It was a carefully chosen momentâone that allowed their relationship to evolve naturally, away from the chaos of premieres and press junkets. It demonstrated that love stories donât need loud announcements or curated posts. Sometimes, all it takes is a stroll by the sea, a shared meal, and the courage to simply be seen.
Too subtle to ever be seen together, these joined-at-the-hip love birds remained positively dedicated to their privacy. Demure to a fault, Antonia still made sure her face was clearly visible when somehow pictures surfaced that were later linked back to one of Antoniaâs many fans. Understandable, as the lithe dancer is a beacon of sophistication, being quietly neutering and boldly congealed.
For Luke Newton and Antonia Roumelioti, Sorrento was not just a vacation. It was a quiet declarationâa chapter in their love story that neither began nor ended with headlines, but simply carried them one step closer to the worldâs heart.
That is, until May 2025, when Luke Newton posted a photo of himself kissing Antonia on the cheek during a pre-BAFTA party. The image, tender and natural, was not accompanied by an announcement, but by a simple caption referencing the event. And yet, for the millions who saw it, the post was everythingâit was official confirmation, it was romantic affirmation, and above all, it was authentic. In a digital world flooded with illusions and performance, Luke Newton and Antonia Roumeliotiâs journey reminds us of something real: that love, even when lived under the public eye, can be quiet, intentional, and beautifully unscripted.
This is merely a taste of the first half of this masterpiece. In the second half, we will delve further into how little Nicola matters, how important picture 2 of one IG carousel is, and how quickly manuring and bulking detonated this couple is.
Not an alert but an ask, if anyone is a mutual friend or interact with the below fic writers, I'm asking please if you can encourage them to continue writing. These stories are so beautiful and the writers are extremely talented, I literally feel like I am a part of the story and the detail they use to describe a scene or character development is chef's kiss. I am literally amazed everytime I read their work. It is a pleasure to read the fics they took their time to write, I hope they're all ok and thriving wherever they are, they definitely have kept a lot of interest in these fics.

I don't know if they are on Tumblr but pleaseeeeeeeee help me get the word out there if you know their blogs or fan accounts on other platforms.
This fandom is so annoying, I don't know how you do it Ginađ I understand there's new people here but do we really need to do the same things every time there's a new stunt??? Like bsffr.
Yes, they're going to take pictures with the "girlfriends"
Yes, they're going to have very public "private" dates
Yes, their families are going to interact with the stunt gf
Yes, the tabloids are going to said that they're serious, that they've never been this happy with someone and they're thinking of settling down
Yes, they're going to meet eachother families because they're so serious and coincidentally only be spotted and pictures by some "fans" because they need something more that the obviously staged pap pics
Yes, both harry and Louis and their eventual stunt gf need the PR. There's no celebrity in this world that's too good to do pr
Yes, the relationships are fake no matter if WE as fans don't understand the purpose of why are they doing it
Yes, they look uncomfortable with the PDA because THEY ARE GAYYYYYY
No, they didn't became straight and they aren't using their "GFs" to get over eachother
No, this time isn't any different. They don't talk about their gfs because they want privacy it's because they're lucky if they know their names
No, paps don't hang around in Yates or private properties waiting for a miracle celebrity sighting with a touch of PDA.
Did I cover everything??? I'm so sorry for ranting in your anons but bloody hell this is unbearable
𤣠I am just going to be using this as my standard answer from now on.
HELLOOO, I just discovered your blog, shame on me. So, I read your masterpost about the stunts in the industry (great work btw) and was wondering how to tell if something is real or purely pr. Would you mind giving me a few pointers ?? Answer however and whenever you can.
Hello Sweetie,
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I would love to help you dig deeper into the PR industry. In fact, I did some research myself and I stumbled upon a great confirmation on how everything works. I think it is just the right fit for you, sweetheart.
Please take your time reading the post and if you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to ask me. Have a great day and enjoy!
This post is made for everyone who would like to learn how to spot a fake relationship in Hollywood. This information is supported by a very reliable source. The name of the source is Jack Ketsoyan, he set up two PR relationships himself. If you would try to compare this to your favourite Hollywood couple, you might be surprised of the outcome. I wish you all the best while reading this and if you have any questions/suggestions please do not hesitate to ask. Enjoy! :)
 This is the link of the podcast about the PR relationships (skip to 5.40). I will make a little summary of the very important things Jack said. There is also another man who is speaking about this subject. His name is Christopher and he is a lawyer who has worked with cases like these for a long time.
 (Please note that I am in no way hating on anyone. I have a strong dislike for all ââbeardsââ, but what they do with their lives is their responsibility. Therefore I mean no harm to any of these people. It would be very sad if any of these people would do it because they needed money for their families. If that was the case I would truly feel sorry for them, but the thing is they want to become famous by dating someone else who put his/her hard work in his/her career. That it just not fair. There are plenty of ways to become famous by dedication, hard work and staying yourself.)
I want to give compliments to the lovely @Totallylost4you on twitter. She made me aware of the podcast.
-ââTo hide the artistâs sexuality; boosting of the careers.ââ -->Â (Louis, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall. Also, Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevigne and Taylor Swift) -->
ââIt is more common on the male side than on the female side. There are certain celebrities who were, back in the day, in the closet and it was not okay to be out. We live in a completely different time nowadays, these days being gay is okay. So back in the day that was the biggest secret, it was a big taboo, if a certain high profiled male, the heartthrob is all of a sudden gay, they were not going to get the bigger roles anymore. They were going to be type casted, so that was the big way of hiding things. Them hiding their sexuality was dating a female who would keep them in the limelight basically and cover it up.ââ Â [about closeting] ââTimes have changed, it still happens, but a lot has changed.ââ -->Â There are still people who would not like attending a Harry Styles (the heartthrob) concert when he comes out as gay.
-ââTo be able to sell the hype of it.ââ -->Â (Whenever a picture of Taylor and Tom or Louis and Eleanor comes out, people are quick to retweet, post and talk about what happened. Within no time the pictures have traveled through the internet. Which automatically means that a lot of people have seen it. All of this gives the label/couple/artist attention and money. --> Whether it is bad attention or good attention, attention means money.) a few examples of these couples are also: Haylor, Zigi and Elounor.
-ââTo sell tickets to concerts or movies.ââ --> 1D world tours and solo tours. That is also why beards like Camille Rowe, Eleanor Calder and Maya Henry attend their concerts. As for movies think about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (who is gay) fake dating, moments after Twilight came out. Think about 1D bringing their fake girlfriends to the world premiere and Zayn and Perrie getting engaged a second after. The purpose of these events are attention. Sweethearts, whenever people go to these shows/movies all they will focus on is 1D and their âgirlfriendsâ. Photos will spread faster than ever and people will talk about how ârealâ they are. Their aim is to kill two birds with one stone; making them look like a ârealâ couple whilst promoting their movie/album.
-ââTo sell albums.ââ --> (Zigi, Chiam, Elounor, Hamille, Nailee, Haylor.) Let us be honest, are they not the biggest reasons why antis buy the album? Just to see what stuff they write about their fake girlfriends/boyfriends. Just to see how âCamilleâ pronounces ââCoucouââor just because Gigi Hadid starred in Zaynâs music video. Or maybe to finally know the âtruthâ about Taylorâs fake relationships. Â
-ââIt's all about the hype at the moment. Especially with the social media world.ââ --> I am going to point out an important thing Jack said. He said ââespecially with the social media world.ââ Remember when there were only rumours of Louis and Eleanor being back together? The whole fandom tweeted about it. This made it popular and that was the solid moment 1Dâs label knew that Elounor 2.0 would do it for them. They would earn a lot by it. The same thing counts for Zigi, Chiam, Haylor, Hamille. Hamille is a good example too. When all of you heard that Harry wrote a song about her and that her voice was going to be included in his song, what happened? Exactly, everyone went nuts and made sure to listen to that exact song. That is exactly what they want. They want that power over you, that is what gives them the money. Another example, how fast do you think solo Zayn stans and Directioners tweeted about a âpower coupleâ when the news broke that Zayn and Gigi are âexpecting a childâ? How fast did people open their social media accounts when Kylie Jenner was pregnant for the Kardashianâs 10th anniversary? (Social media does A LOT. Whenever a picture of Eleanor (beard) and Clifford (Louisâ dog) arrives on the internet, people automatically assume they are together in a room. This, is not the case. That is how convenient social media is to arranged relationships. Why start a rumour by hiring newspapers instead of posting a message on social media? It is much cheaper and more people will know about it in less than four hours.)
Promoting certain brand like Coca Cola (Elounor), YSL, Gucci, Vogue (Zigi) and Hugo Boss are also a part of it. Celebrities wearing those brands make their fans want to buy it too, think of the Kardashians promoting Adidas and other expensive brands. Also think of people like Briana Jungwirth promoting flat tummy tea. This is called âcelebrity branding.â
Tell me, how many times do you get HQ pic of your PR couple on your phone? People tend to go out of their mind when pictures come out. That is the immediate effect Hollywood has on social media/ you. That gives them the promo they need, even during quarantine the beards post pictures of themselves, making you think they are together when in reality they are not. :)
{About why Jack hooked an arranged relationship up himself} -->Â ââIt was more of a mutual agreement between the agents. {Tells a story about an actor getting bad reviews for a movie and in order to let people focus on something else they got the actor a girl, so the media would focus on the girl instead of the bad movie.}ââ -->Â Â ââJust a one year deal. Basically they finished of the press and the international press and then they went their separate ways, because she did not want to do a two year deal.ââ {interviewer asks if it worked} -->Â ââIt worked.ââ -->Â Â A few examples of (approximately) a one-year deal: Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift, Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfield and Louis Tomlinson and Danielle Campbell. It is also good to point out that the beard can decide whether she wants to continue or not, but the celebrity has to do what the agent arranges.
{Interviewer asks what reasons people might have to agree to one of these PR relationships} -->Â Different reasons, that could be to deflect attention away from a controversy (damage control. think of something Larry or Ziam related happening and the next day Zigi and Elouno are papped. Or fans finding out Louis is in the same country as Harry and the next day they will let Elouno do a pap walk. Another example is when Ziammies find out a Zigi picture is photoshopped, the next day you will see Zigi in person. This happens when their stunts fail). So if an actor has drugs and alcohol problems they may want to give the appearance that they have settled down and are in a committed relationships so that they can banked for films. Or they are going to be able to get bonded and get work and people will trust them, because they have settled down. It also could be done to create a brand. Two celebs getting together and 'now there's this tremendous interest about them being a power couple.' [...] We create strong provision against the disclosure of any negative facts against the celebrity - with consequences. So these agreements need to be structured with a hold back of money so that over time if they have complied with the agreement and not disclosed ehh no personal information and violation the agreement then they would be entitled the payment, so under the agreement. " -->Â The last part might be difficult to understand, because the lawyer uses difficult words, but what he is actually saying is very important. He says if the celebrities who are in the PR relationship have done their part (parading around with each other) then they will receive their money (please correct me if I am wrong). The host also confirmed that contracts like these are the reason why a lot of celebrities do not admit they had a PR relationships.

Clues on how to spot a PR relationship:
-ââThe main clue you would see is if, you know, a certain high profiled male is dating a female (or when a high profiled female is dating a regular male), who was not high profile. All of a sudden, she is, overnight, the most talked about girl in Hollywood and everyone want a piece of them. That is the biggest thing, you know, it is such a career boost for the female that some females end up taking the deal.ââ -->Â Zigi, Elounor, Chiam, Brouis, Haylor, Taylor and Calvin. How does the world know Eleanor Calder? Because of Louis Tomlinson. No one knew her before, except her family. How did Gigi gain so many followers? Because she started dating Zayn Malik. Gigi already had a platform for herself, but she gained a lot of followers by dating Zayn. Zayn also gained followers by dating Gigi. Gigi needed promo and Zayn was in the spotlight, because he just âleft 1D.â This made him the perfect target. I hope all of you also notice that when beards/fake girlfriends post pictures of them with their fake boyfriend, it gets way more likes than their usual pictures.
{What was the benefit for the girl in the scenario?} --> ââEhm, she has a huge career at the moment. She benefit from that by becoming a household name (someone that is well known) and getting bigger roles than she would have. She would use to be the 3rd or the 4th lead in any auditions or any jobs that she was getting. She then became the first lead. She got a great career boost out of it, for sure.ââ -->Â Gigi Hadid, Eleanor Calder, Sophia Smith, Cheryl Cole, Maya, Camille Rowe and Kendall Jenner are just a few examples.
How did the world know Townes? Because âHarry namedâ her in one of his songs. How did the world know about Maya Henry? Because Liam Payne started dating her. Before this, she was just a fan. How did Cheryl Cole get the attention back? Because of baby gate and by fake dating Liam Payne. How did Briana gain so many followers? Because Louis Tomlinson fans gave her the attention and because she participated in faking a pregnancy. How did Shawn and Camilla become a couple in the spotlight? Because people have always shipped them, ever since the beginning and their label gave the fans what they wanted. How did Kim Kardashian become famous? A *** tape of her and Ray J leaked and she became famous. Now, she is a lot richer and more famous than he is. A quick note, not many people know how Kim Kardashian became famous. They only really know her from Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The newer generation does not know about the tape scandal, and that is what they do. You need to dig a little deeper to see that. This all is an on-going cycle and it will not stop unless we all stop believing it. đ
  What do they do in order to make a PR relationship look real?
{Interviewer asks what the clauses in an arranged relationships contract are} --> ââAn arranged relationship is estranged by definition. So certainly we are going to see requests that are equally odd. They are certainly going to have requirements as to how they hold themselves out to the public as a couple. This would mean appearances at award shows, parties or events together as a couple and that there would be requirements maybe for specific events.ââ -->Â Eleanor attending Jayâs wedding and being âmaid of honorâ, Calvin and Taylor at Award shows, Elounor at the fashions show 2013, Haylor and their NYE âkissâ, Zigi at the MET gala and Chiam at the Brits, celebs at after parties with their âgirlfriendsâ. All of these couples have also pictures with each otherâs family members. That made a lot of you think they are close and real, well my loves, now you finally know that it is all part of a PR stunt. The fake girlfriends also have to look supportive, that is why they have to be there at concerts, soccer matches, award shows etcetera. đ
Remember when Eleanor (beard) posted a picture of herself and in the background you could see a picture of her and Louis in 2012 and âLouisâ written on a board? Remember when she posted a picture of herself with her and Louisâ boots in the background in 2018? All of these things are there to make it look like they truly live together and  that they truly own each otherâs stuff. The same thing counts for Haylorâs airplane necklace. Do you genuinely think they did that by accident? No, that is the purpose of the whole picture. đ
ââThen there is going to be particularly some none disclosure issues surrounding them as to what cannot be said about the relationship and what needs to be said. There could be a script even as to what they have to say if asked about the relationships. There would be photo sessions showing them as a couple. And then I have seen issues of sexual relationships and specific whether this would happen or not happen in an agreement. But if it is truly a PR relationships then sex would not be a part of that relationship, because it is not real.ââ -->Â Loves, do you remember a moment when someone asked a celebrity about his/her relationships and they stuttered and looked uncomfortable, or they just said something wrong or embarrassing or tried to talk themselves out of it? Well, that happens when you have to make up stuff that never happened. Â Louis Tomlinson confirmed his interviews are scripted, so this one is just an extra thick layer of confirmation. I also recall Gigi doing a live and someone asked about Zayn and she just stuttered and looked away, not knowing how to answer a question. (I think there have definitely been times when two people who were in an arranged relationship gave different answers to the same question, why? Because they do not know anything about each other.) Here is an example of a moment that is repeated and scripted about Louisâ ârelationshipâ with Eleanor, even know we have legit proof that is not what happened:
Now I can hear all your lovely brains working and thinking whether a celebrity is willing to sign a contract like that or if their label is making them sign it. Well, if you have read my previous masterpost about the music industry you can see confirmations of the label making the artist their puppet. They own you, so if they think you should have a girlfriend to hide gay rumours then they will give you one. âA label cannot force you anythingâ, but it does make you sign a contract. When you sign the contract without reading it carefully, then your label will mess you up. In those contracts they do not write ââTaylor Swift has to agree to arranged relationships.ââ They write stuff like ââWhen signing the contract, Taylor Swift allows the label to make changes in order to get her to fame.ââ Of course Taylor (and other artists) would think that they mean changing her outfit and looks, but no. The label thinks being gay is something that will not get people enough fame. So what do they do? They change her, they change her sexuality. They closet her and even though Taylor and other LGBTQ artists do not want that. You cannot deny because when you do so, the label will show you the contract you signed. A contract like that is never written literally, they can manipulate their words. To the label ââbeing gay or a part of the LGBTQ+ communityââ falls under ââmaking changesââ in order to make her famous. Of course there are celebrities who willingly closet themselves for various reasons. I hope to create a single post about how devious these contracts are for you all! đ
Here are a few things I hope you have learned from this: đ
 - Fake relationships still exist and they will always exist. It has been confirmed, so no one can deny this anymore.
 - The girl and boy have to go to special events, such as award shows, family dinners and weddings in order to make it look real.
 - Homophobia is still a thing and the biggest reason why arranged relationships exist.
 - The beard has a contract too, so your idol has no say in how long she can or cannot stay. If she does good then she will stay. (I see many people say that Louis chose Eleanor because they are friends and that is why she is back, but he actually has no say in anything. Your idol is their product to sell. Your idol is basically a marionette.)
 -The PR team does everything to make it look like they are truly together, think of photos of each other in each otherâs homes and âpersonal gifts.â
 -Celebrities get an enormous boost on their social media accounts when they start being part of an arranged relationship. Something I have always thought was a bit odd, is the fact that Eleanor never created an insta account until her and Louisâ ârelationshipâ had its peak; in the middle of June 2012. When in reality, insta was created in 2010. She also created twitter in 2012. Exactly when the first few big events were attended by them. (I genuinely think she did that, because everyone wanted to see more of her. Plus, she has always wanted to be a fashion blogger and this was her âbig momentâ to do so.)

Thank you so much for your attention. If you have any question/suggestion, please do not hesitate to ask/tell me! I wish all of you the best and please stay safe. Have an amazing day!
With todayâs adjacent appearance Iâm sure many are having their doubts and moments of realization. Either acceptance or refusal/doubling down on PR/contract. I found this blog from 2020 very clarifying and eye opening. Not an indication of where Iâm at currently, but helpful nonetheless if I chose to look at this for another perspective.
