Lottie Moss fires back at nepo baby criticism

[notoriousmkg]

Technically, Sean Penn (and Chris Penn) and Robert Downey Jr are nepo babies. Their dads were directors Leo Penn and Robert Downey, Sr.

Nicholas Cage was almost like a reverse nepo story. He acted under his real name, Nicholas Coppola, for his first two films. In the second one ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High), though, he was teased relentlessly by Eric Stoltz about being a nepo baby because he was the nephew of the famous Francis Ford Coppola. Ironically, Cage and Stoltz were playing the stoner friends of Sean Penn. In all films after that, he took the last name "Cage".

I didn't even know of this chick's existence until this minute.

Like Mo, I think I mind less when it comes to actors than models. Lily Depp also ranted against criticism of being a nepo baby and I was like ... girl, you're kinda random looking, you're what, 5'' tall, and you run the Chanel catwalk.
Her and Lottie Moss are typically the type of girls who wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for their pedigree (regardless of whether or not "they put their minds to it" typical comment of somebody so privilged they don't even realise who their connections work for them.)

Modelling to e really is where you find all the talentless nepo babies (even if of course, some of them genuinely belong on the runway, I'm thinking Bella Hadid or Cara Delevigne)

But she's right is that life isn't fair, and EVERY field is plagued with nepotism, so why are we always shitting on actors and models when "political dynasties" don't seem to be questioned as much and that's also where I agree with Lily (DAMN, WHY THE FUCK is everybody named Lily XD) Allen when she says at least, she's a harmless kind of nepo baby.

Nepotism can be both a good thing or a bad thing. I can see both sides..

I don't mind nepos if they are actually talented. What I cannot stand is when some nepo kid can't act/sing/model or whatever yet they continue to get opportunities that should have gone to people with actual talent. They fail over & over & over again yet they continue to get the plum roles or modeling contracts, etc. Just because you are related to someone with talent doesn't mean that *you* have talent. My grandmother was an incredibly talented artist. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler much less create art. It sucks but it's the truth.

I feel the same way when someone takes over the family business but has no idea what they are doing (or just doesn't care). We used to have a wonderful little diner in our town that was started by a local family in the 1940s.  It went to the son when his parents died. Even though he worked there during high school & college, he had no idea how to run the place. Within 18 months, it was out of business. Yes, I do blame him for not being smart enough to realize he was out of his league & hiring people who knew what they were doing.  

The Hustons, the Barrymores, etc. were all very talented so nepotism was a good thing. 

Bit in bold -  Brooklyn Beckham is a prime example of this 


I forgot Lottie got a face tattoo

Jamie Lee Curtis - Daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh
John Huston - Son of Walter Huston
Anjelica Huston - Daughter of John Huston and Enrica Soma
Emma Roberts - Daughter of Eric Roberts, niece of Julia Roberts
Michael Douglas - Son of Kirk Douglas 
Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez - Sons of Martin Sheen

The list goes on and on and shows that the rise of Nepo Babies isn't actually a rise at all, just a continuation of what's always happened. Now, of course, we have the internet and social media so they become better known for far less but in a few years time more than a few of them will have floated off into relative obscurity because they don't have the talent to propel them any further and someone newer and younger has come along to edge them out.

I watch films with both Jamie Lee Curtis and Goldie Hawns daughter yesterday.
One has talent & the other appears to have carved a career out of playing herself.
I guess a lot of male actors get away with that & she has a good career but .... Not a great talent.

Now you might understand why the team had to work so.damn.hard to make her happen.
Averagely pretty girl spoils her money-making feature with a face tattoo. Fucking Einstein right there.

In an interview with Glamour UK, the OnlyFans creator, who has opened up in the past about her struggles with anxiety and substance abuse, talks about the new tat. 

“Since rehab, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery. I’ve spent a lot of time in Bali, surrounded by nature, reading alone or spending time with like-minded people – and learning to love myself again while finally being free from my former life,” she explained.

“That’s why I decided to get my face tattoo; the word ‘lover’ under my eye,” she continued.

“Yes, it was impulsive, but after years of being so controlled, it was my way of expressing that I am free. I’m no longer controlled.”

However, the model appeared to have a bit of hesitation about the permanent ink as well, admitting that she had too much to drink and considering her choices the morning after.

Lottie documented the process of getting her new tat on TikTok before saying, “This could have gone without doing but I actually don’t mind it so it’s here to stay now. We’re going to learn to love it. The world’s going to learn to love it. My mom’s going to learn to love it hopefully,” before the ending the message with, “Don’t drink alcohol kids!” 

She also posted other glimpses at the ink on TikTok in a video captioned, “Waking up with a tattoo on my face,” showing a close-up of the text. The voiceover jokes, “I win the silly billy awards.” 


And in a third video she responded to “people [who] say they don’t like my face tattoo” with “I don’t care. I really don’t give a f—k. I really don’t.”

When a commenter wrote, “Back on the gear I see,” she responded, “Good one! But no I’m not on drugs.”

Other followers were divided about the look, some telling her it looks “cool” and “badass” while another pointing out that the letters almost look like they spell “loser.”

Also from Feb 2022

Earlier this year, however, Lottie appeared online in tears after a friend betrayed her by posting her naked pictures and phone number online. 

Lottie had admitted she has struggled living in her big sister’s shadow. “It’s hard when your sister is Kate Moss and being compared to her,” she told the Private Parts podcast. “I had a great time modeling but everything was handed to me. I never felt like I worked for anything.’

Said Lottie’s friend: “She is a sweet girl but she is lost in it all. We think she only takes drugs so that she’s got more confidence. Her real problem is the need for approval and attention — and she won’t get better until she finds some self-esteem.”

[no1novice]

The fashion world took notice of Lottie after she was a bridesmaid at Kate’s 2011 wedding to The Kills musician Jamie Hince. As Lottie later recalled: “It was so funny. My mum was like, ‘Your sister is going to be so pissed.’ No one noticed her, everyone was like, ‘Who’s that?’ I had a meeting with Storm [Model Management] the next week. They were like, ‘Where have you been hiding?’”

But then lockdown happened, and Kate felt sorry for Lottie and tried to take her in and take care of her,” said the family source. “Kate is really close to her dad [Peter, also Lottie’s father] and wanted to help, so she invited Lottie to stay. They got on well for a time but had some massive argument.

“Kate was frustrated because Lottie kept on wanting to drink and posting sexually provocative stuff on Insta all the time. It isn’t easy for Kate to be around people who are drinking, and she definitely won’t be around anyone who is using cocaine.”

The supermodel is four years sober after decades of being the wildest woman on the fashion scene.

An insider claimed that when Lottie finally departed Kate’s country house “in a foul mood,” she left behind two bottles of her sister’s old favorite wine — which the insider interpreted as a “f–k you” gesture.

[tulip]

She sounds like a real prize.

Nepotism, networking, connections, it all ties together and it is how many, many people get their foot in the door. One of my first jobs in education I was at a school where I found out so many of the teachers were from my hometown -- the school was a few towns away. It turns out that the principal's assistant screened the applications before they were sent to the principal. She highly favored people who grew up in my hometown.

[coppercatseye]

I had never heard of this person before now. She’ll never be on Kate’s level of fame.

[MsDark]

Okay I actually looked this chick up. Kate Moss is my freaking age so I figured this chick was awfully young to be her sister.

She's actually her HALF sibling and only 4 years older than her niece, Kate's daughter Lila.

She's pretty enough and I think her body looks good, but she's nowhere near as thin as Kate was at the same age. On today's runway where it's practically the standard that these girls are as thin as Kate was when her size was shocking everyone, they would consider her way too large.

And I saw some MSN story title that said she was drunk when she got her face marked up and regrets it. Well duh, dumbass. That's one more strike against you.

She should definitely be grateful to be related to a famous supermodel because she's pretty mediocre in those circles by comparison. She could be a good swimsuit model if she takes care of her body and doesn't fuck it up like she did her face. If she were smart she'd take advantage and make as much money as possible during the short shelf life she likely has for this career. And get in some good travelling to other countries. Maybe meet some rich dude and hook up. God forbid, get an education <eyeroll>.

That's the one thing I envy about this career besides the money, that they get to go lots of places. (Imagine, getting to go to hole up in Bali at age 24 just to chill out cause you "need" it).  But my prediction is drugs are going to wreak havoc. That's probably why Kate doesn't want her around. She has a hard enough time just maintaining her own sobriety. And probably doesn't want that shit around her daughter.

[imnotbitter]

I did think it said Loser at first.

[loftybike]

^^^Which would have made it an accurate tattoo.

[shellee]

I love Jamie Lee Curtis and think she’s a better actor than both of her parents. Nepotism works sometimes. Also, I don’t think Lottie is anything model worthy.

[Pixie]

Most of the “model” celeb spawn don’t have an ounce of charisma or “it factor”
It’s the perfect hideout for your talentless offspring.

Lottie Moss without Kate would not have made it past the receptionist desk in any modeling agency, but sure, she can keep telling other girls that it’s just a matter of “putting your mind to it”

[MsDark]

Is Lottie her actual name? Or is it Charlotte? (If so she should have went by Charlotte)
