Mother Drunkenly Messages A-List Celebrity About Me

This story I will say that unfortunately this is a story in my life, that yes, did indeed happen. I won't name names out of privacy and respect for the person. If you are ever feeling bad about yourself, just read this and you will feel all better about your life!

It was last year on the sunny beautiful months, some of the happiest times of my life. Just content with my life doing me-then this story happened and clearly, I'm still not over it. So enjoy the ride!

I worked at a hotel at that time and their were celebrities staying in our hotel because they were filming a movie nearby. So I was seeing and conversing with a handful of these celebrities everyday. Some I was a personal fan of, some I hadn't really heard of. Anyway, being the front desk associate I had to wrangle in my "freaking out fan girl really wanting to be able to freak out" moment and do what I needed to do.

I was nervous and excited like anyone would be meeting someone that you admired and watched since you were a child. So, I was planning my moment and working up the courage to be able to have a conversation with my idol, and ask for an autograph, a picture, and just tell him about how he affected me.

Now lets go back to the night before this embarrassing nightmare happened! So, after work one day I had a family dinner at our favorite restaurant Ziki's. Aunts, Uncles, sibling's, Cousins-whole nine yards. This was of course pre-covid and we were all just getting together because some family that lived out of town were in town. So we got together to visit and catch everyone up on our lives! So it was the perfect opportunity to tell my family about what was going on in my life with these celebrities. I told them all about my plan.

My plan was when my gentleman idol approached me at the desk I was going to ask for a moment of his time. He came to the front desk everyday or every other day so I knew that I would have an opportunity. I was going to whip out my favorite movie that he made in VHS and ask for him to sign it, tell him about how he had affected me. Say I hope this isn't too unprofessional but I really wanted to tell you , and hoping for a picture.

My family was super supportive and I had finally gotten the courage to approach him the next day at work. My family and I had a fantastic dinner. My mother got wildly drunk that night, and was kind of a handful. I was the only sober one in my family so I drove us home. To give you an idea on how drunk my mother was-she somehow managed to kick me in the face from the back seat while I was driving on 6-35 going about 75mph. I'm a good driver so I managed.

The next couple of days I happened to not see who I was waiting for so I hadn't gotten a chance to use my courage and say what I wanted to say. So, three days after the family dinner, I asked my mother if I could use her phone. I wanted to send myself the pictures from that night. She agreed, and when I unlocked her phone and she had a twitter message already up on her phone. So her phone automatically opened it to that page. What was it you ask?

It was dated to the three nights ago, the family night that my mother got incredibly drunk. She had made a twitter account while drunk and PRIVATLEY MESSAGED the celebrity that I was going to speak to!! Oh you think that's the worst thing that could happen?? Think again!! It get's worse.

She identifies me, part of which saying I was the blonde front desk associate at the hotel they were staying at. Little side note, I was THE ONLY blonde front desk associate working there at that time. So there was no way for me to pretend like this was about someone else. She then continues to tell him how much of a fan of him that I am of his, but I was too nervous to approach him. Then confesses some dark things that have happened to me in my childhood and that if he could sign my movie of his to make my day that she would appreciate it.

So, he's a well known celebrity. He probably gets thousands of messages. Maybe he won't see it. Maybe it will get lost in the sea of messages and I can just try to brush this under the rug and move on from this.

NOPE! HE RESPONDED! It ended up being his son that managed his account but the message was definitely transcribed to this said A-list celebrity. His son said that he would come by the desk to retrieve the movie and pass it on to his dad, and then give it back to me. But, I didn't want that. This was something I wanted to do for me. I also wanted to see his face when I whipped out the old movie and how I still had it on VHS. I wanted to tell him how he changed and affected my life. I also wanted to have the edge of surprise, because the reaction would have been more genuine.

I was livid. This was the most I had ever been humiliated in my entire life. She also made it sound like a pity party and that because I had a difficult childhood he should do this for me. She angled it towards that-and that's not what I wanted. Took what this really cool, fun interaction into something else entirely. I am an adult. I have my own life aside from my parents, and this was a huge crossing the line. Also, not to mention I could have gotten in trouble at my job for breaking confidentiality. You never know how someone could react to that. Ya know?

So then instead of excitement, empowerment, and a strong loving feeling that I had. It was replaced with nausea, catatonic embarrassment, and just unsure of what to expect next.

A few days later the actors son did approach the desk, and I think he was uncomfortable with the situation as well because he kind of made small talk and just waiting for me to give him the VHS. But, he didn't ask and I didn't want him to admit that it was me or give him the movie. I wanted to do it. So, we small talked and he went about his day.

About a day later the celebrity approached me. He smiled, and I'm thinking, "oh thank God. Maybe he doesn't know." If only I was that lucky......

"Hey! Kate+8. Good ol Kate! Brave Kate! Very good strong Kate! How are you doing!?" He says very loud and proud. In my mind, I'm thinking, "Crap. he knows. But I go along with it, and I still make my speech that I wanted to and it was still a great interaction. However, because of had happened previously I was feeling diminished and small instead of excited and empowered. I felt like my tail was between my legs and honestly, I just wanted them to finish their movie and leave the hotel just so I could not be embarrassed every day and want to disappear.

I didn't have the courage to ask for a photo. I just didn't have the will to ask for one anymore. Like I said, I just consistently felt overpowering and overwhelming sense of embarrassment. On his last day at the hotel, he said goodbye and waited for me to ask for a photo but I just couldn't do it.

This forever was tarnished and ruined by that message that my mother drunkinly sent. Forever, now if I see him in movies-I will be taken back to this memory.

Now that is the story of how my mother embarrassed me with my favorite celebrity. Bet not a lot of people can say that. Especially in the way that it happened.

So if you are ever feeling like your life is in shambles, I hope this story made you feel better about yourself.
