Thank you so much for all that info on Mo. This shit show just never stops does it?
Playing a little devil's advocate, but esp considering all this, does it give you any pause to think their relationship might actually be fully real then? Since she really hasn't benefitted in any way from her relationship with Sebastian? Meanwhile now she's getting more attention from her connections through Jon, her hanging out with Rob (who is less popular that SS), and then def this Mo guy?
I mean I definitely don't think the girl has a genuine bone in her body and she comes across as a textbook narcissist, but just wanted to get your feel. It just feels strange to say it's PR or even used for PR when there's been no traction there, ya know?
Thanks, glad you found it informative! Personally, it made me feel sick to my stomach. This industry makes me wanna take a long hot shower to wash off the ick…
This is, and always will be, a loaded and challenging Q to answer (and truly, I’m not trying to dodge answering it, it’s just complicated and I really want ppl to think wider about the nature of pr and fauxmances).
Being attached to Seb is not a coincidence or accident (I’ve talked endlessly about why I think this the case in other posts, so if anyone wants more on that, check my pr related tags). Remember, PR doesn’t necessarily mean fake - I wholeheartedly wish more people who criticise those of us who to dissect the role publicity plays in the entertainment industry - would understand this. Pr is almost always in motion, always. It’s to protect the image of the talent. It’s important.
My best guess has, and always will be that she was convenient and available to be with him. Whether that was a private hook up/arrangement etc, is debatable, but I guarantee, they both decided to make this public…for publicity. They just did. Whether that was under the order or advisement of CAA, his team, another outside force etc, it was a conscious decision. They didn’t just get ‘caught’ frolicking on holidays around the world as a ‘private couple’. So much of what we’ve seen from them is curated publicity. It’s just is. You don’t take professional photos and videos taken by a third party the first time you’re seen publicly with your beau unless that’s calculated. They use this pairing FOR PUBLICITY. I personally don’t hold it against anyone who thinks they hook up or caught real, genuine feelings in the process; they’ve been parading around for over 18 months, let’s not be naive, but it also isn’t solid proof this is an organic, loving union. Hence it’s complicated to answer the Q.
I think she’s a raging narcissist (maybe even a sociopath - she doesn’t seem to have any flicker of remorse about wrongdoing, no regard for others’ welfare, and seems to enjoy exploiting and manipulating others. All hallmarks of this label, but let’s not digress…it’s irrelevant, really).
Seb is, and was, her gateway. That was actually invaluable. She would never have achieved the same exposure without him as her leverage, even with Esmeralda in her circle. Look at the column inches she’s generated? You think Saudi billionaire film producers would give a shit about her without Sebs name being attached to her? Come on, now….
She definitely benefits. Every little helps. I’d say there’s an amalgamation of truths here. All I do know is non of them end well for Seb. Shame, really.
