My celebrity friend sent me two Fendi gift baskets and a Birkin to celebrate her pregnancy?

The young woman seemed a bit high-strung but she mostly chatted with my 13 year old and the other children. The next day, I learned that she’s a starlet on a reality tv show. If she’d mentioned it, we would have recognized the name.

Also, we have a relative who is a current Disney child star. If you don’t have ES or tween kids, you wouldn’t know who he is. Sometimes people recognize him in DD’s family photos, but mostly he’s not recognizable and doesn’t live a lavish lifestyle. A lot of his attire is rented or loaned. Same with experiences on his Insta —luxury hotels just let him use a room for an hour to shoot a few photos. He’s really staying under his mom’s name in an Air BNB an hour outside the city.

Thank you for posting this, it's actually pretty interesting. I've seen some posts on instagram from some "wanna be" social influencers that make wonder how they can afford to stay the places they do, eat at the places they do, etc. I guess it's mostly (or maybe even entirely) fake.

Ah yes! I remember now.
But if it’s that D list rapper someone linked to earlier, I can’t imagine they are swimming in Birkins.

Yup I remember the OP also

There is nothing about any of this that makes sense, starting with the premise that OP needed "support" after receiving a gift.

Obviously she just wanted to gossip about her “celebrity” “friend” and came up with a flimsy excuse for a thread.

So many of the responses have been so negative towards me that I don't know what to do. I realize I messed up in some regards but felt justified for some of my other actions. I did the best I could at the time.

And no, I will not reveal the identity and please do not guess.

I do not give a damn who this person is, so don't you fret your little head over that. I'm the poster of the below questions, and think it would be very cathartic and an introspective experience for you to read through and answer these honestly.

Do you truly believe that as this person's random friend who they met one time at a nonprofit, and found out they both like the same TV channel, is in any way shape or form in a position to issue judgment or scolding on their pregnancy? In your words, she did not come to you saying "help, sister, I don't know what to do." You say she "let me know she was pregnant" as in.... announced her pregnancy. You are not entitled to an opinion or a judgment. You barely know this person. "She got really upset" because the ONLY thing you say when someone announces their pregnancy to you is congratulations. Maybe how can you help? Not "Ew. You aren't EVEN in a SERIOUS relationship. *Who are you, random person this woman met once months ago, to decide you get to arbitrate her womb and sex life, by the way??* Then to immediately jump to "I can't relate, I have no advice" - ew. You are a shitty person and friend. No wonder you think this is a soulless city and you are aching to find a "real connection" and have no friends. Let me give you a hint. Stop being judgmental and try being a listener (listen to LISTEN, not to respond.... I know that'll be hard for you), try being compassionate, try being caring. It'll work wonders. What you have shared about this 'relationship' is that you are awkward and overbearing and intensely capricious and judgmental.

You "made up over lunch"... as in you probably demanded an apology from her. Did you apologize for being crass and desultory? I bet you didn't.

SHE doesn't respect YOUR boundaries? How about the boundary of - someone is announcing a pregnancy. You barely know this person (Or, you claim you are 'sisters' even after meeting once and texting about a Lifetime movie. Regardless...). The only proper response is congratulations and support. What boundary were you respecting when you shamed and patronized her?

You say that "I drafted a thank you note and will send it out tomorrow morning. She and I bickered a bit. She was never mean, but I thought for awhile she was uncharacteristically grumpy. But we are okay now and I will just resolve to move forward."
1- What kind of 'drafting' does a thank you note for gifts given require? Hint: none... But since etiquette does not seem to be your strong point, I'll teach you that it should absolutely be hand-written and not typed, and if your stationery has "thank you" pre-printed on it, return it to Target and go by Papyrus and buy some real stationery.
2- What on EARTH did you bicker about, unless she was defending herself against your disdainful and pious attitude? What do you have to bicker with her about? That you do not approve of her pregnancy? Guess what - not your womb, not your place to have an opinion.
3- She was never mean - that's a bummer, maybe she should have been. You could have finally learned a lesson about how to interact with humans.
4- I thought for a while she was uncharacteristically grumpy - hi. Let me introduce you to this thing called pregnancy hormones. I'm sure nobody has procreated with you since you cannot carry on basic human conversation, and that you have never interacted with someone pregnant (especially given that in 2019, you seem to think that one must be in an OMG SO SERIOUS relationship to have a child.... And must be scorned if not :roll.... But pregnant people are emotional and moody. Hormones are raging and absolutely impact their moods and emotions. I would tell you to have some compassion but you have made it more than clear that you are less than capable of that. So maybe read a Wikipedia page or something about social norms, and what is acceptable and normal with pregnancy.
5- I will just resolve to move forward - ... from WHAT? You are SO dramatic, I cannot fathom that this person really thinks you are worth their time. Maybe they pity you, or see you as that awkward ostracized cousin for whom they feel compassion and sympathy. But what on EARTH has happened in your life (or maybe, what hasn't happened?) that you think that this situation is in any way, shape or form about you? That you are owed an apology? That you will just "move forward" as if you were so harshly wronged by a random stranger's out of wedlock pregnancy, and failure to regulate their pregnancy emotions to the level you deemed appropriate?

6- Going back to the beginning - you say "How do other DC Mom's deal with celebrity friends?" ... Wait so you really are claiming you are a parent? With a partner and children? It is moms, not mom's, for the record.

New poster, but I would literally pay for you to answer these....

It's a rap duo. They became famous after they were featured on Drake's song "In My Feelings".

I will answer these questions only if people give me a little respect. I opened up to you all when I had no one else to turn to and I got attacked and bullied.

Open up to your friend, OP! Lol

I’m guessing yes.

[Anonymous]

Did not read this whole thread but OP is clearly hoping that someone will send this to Lifetime so she can get her own movie.

Gross. All of this.

[Anonymous]

OP what do you say when someone gets married? A work promotion? Congratulations!

The only response was that to the baby. Seriously. That is what a friend does. I don’t understand how you need support.

Do you need support in justifying your crappy actions?

Please answers the questions above. This seems like a troll post or a way to get attention if it’s real. Like oh how cool I talk to a D list “star”.

[Anonymous]

I have a friend that is a celebrity, but she is just my friend. She buys me expensive bday gifts and I say thank you. When we talk about her life and situations we just talk like regular friends. Take the "celebrity" out of it and be real.
