AVERY
“HOW DOES it feel to be the most hated woman in America?”
“Come on!” I protest, driving up Cape Cod with my phone on speaker
and the AC working overtime against the summer humidity. “What about
the woman who sent death threats to that TikTok kitten? Or that girl who
catfished six different guys into taking her to Disneyland by pretending she
had cancer? Or Meghan Markle?”
My cousin, Brooke, laughs down the phone line. “You’re right. You’re
not famous enough to be number one.”
Not famous enough… yet. But I’ve spent the past ten years giving it my
best shot: clawing my way up the Hollywood ladder, from sketchy
modeling assignments and bit parts in soap operas and soup commercials–
all the way to the red carpet, and a real acting career.
Starring roles. Decent movies. Fame.
I was so close to the A-list dream I’ve always wanted, I could almost
taste it. But now, when I’m finally making headlines, it’s for all the wrong
reasons.
Be careful what you wish for, babe.
I give a rueful sigh, watching the sandy highway speed by outside the
windows; the ocean roiling in shades of grey under cloudy summer skies. “I
don’t understand it. All I did was call off my wedding– to a man who didn’t
want to marry me all that much, either,” I point out.
“A massive, multimillion-dollar spectacle of a wedding, packed with
famous celebrities,” Brooke points out gently. “You’d already invited all
those photographers and magazines… did you really think they would just
shrug, and go home, and leave all those column inches empty when you
handed them an even bigger scandal to write about?”
“But it wasn’t even a scandal! Robert’s fine. He was relieved when I
called it off.” I argue. “Why isn’t he getting bitchy gossip items written
about him?”
“Because of a pesky little thing called patriarchy,” Brooke replies,
sounding amused. “Nobody cares when powerful men hook up with women
half their age. Didn’t Taylor Swift write a song about that or something?”
“You’re supposed to be on my side,” I grumble.
“I log into your social media accounts every day and delete every mean,
awful, and pornographic comment so you never have to look at them,” she
replies, and I wince.
“You’re right, I love you,” I reply immediately, grateful. “I just thought
it would have died down by now. Can’t they find someone else to write
about?”
“I guess it’s a slow news season,” Brooke says sympathetically. “And
those old photoshoots didn’t help…”
I wince. “Note to eighteen-year-old Avery: if some shady dude pays you
three hundred bucks to play ‘trophy wife caught cheating on ancient
husband with the pool boy’ for a stock photo site… don’t.”
Talk about adding fuel to the tabloid trash-fire.
