Mother versus Manager

Sometime ago, a talent manager (TM) sent word to the management of a network regarding the frequent visits of a young actress (YA) to the pad of his ward, a versatile actor (VA). It seemed that TM got worried because YA would drop by the unit at wee hours of the morning or would spend the night with VA in his locked room. At other times, they would go to gimmicks.TM was concerned because the practice was affecting the career of VA. He had tapings in the mornings and TM did not want VA to appear tired or haggard when he did his big scenes. The other side of this story was that TM could not directly confront YA that she was already disturbing VA and the risk was high that he might get her pregnant.

When the mother of YA (MY) got wind of the request, she took it calmly and said she was fine with the behavior of her daughter. However, when MY and TM found themselves together in an event, MY gave TM a piece of her mind in the presence of other managers. First, she said there was nothing wrong because YA and VA were both single. Therefore, there was no need for that information to be sent to the network. Second, as a mother she trusted that her daughter would not engage in scandalous behavior, and that no one had the right to tell her what to do with her daughter. (Looking back, YA did not grow up with MY because she left YA to a family member when she was little. MY went abroad to work, where she found love. However, when she had enough of her stint abroad, MY came home and made up for the lost times with her daughter.)

TM kept calm and simply allowed MY to rant. However, the last line of MY almost infuriated him. MY said that perhaps the reason why TM approached the management was that he had another agenda with VA. The reason for such a statement was that VA actually lived in the same pad where TM also stayed. As a talent manager, he allowed VA to stay with him until VA was ready to have his own place.

The latest is that YA and VA have gone separate ways. YA already found a new love in the same network where VA works. VA has earned praises for his characterizations of the diverse roles he played in movies and teleseryes. Meanwhile, MY is enjoying a resurgence of her career and showing to the public she can be a very good actress regardless of the genre. As for TM, he still handles the careers of the most good-looking and talented set of actors.

Do you know who TM, VA, YA, and MY are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.
