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

[Anonymous]

I met her at a nonprofit event and found out we both love trashy Lifetime movies. We have been texting nonstop for the past many months when she has been on tour across the US. I was shocked when she let me know she was pregnant when I knew she was not in a serious relationship. I care for her deeply in a sister type of way and told her that I had no advice to give for her situation. She got really upset but I just told her that honestly had no way to understand her situation and that she needed to trust her gut instinct.

We made up over lunch when she was in town and presented me with the gifts. I told her it was too much but she insisted. She told me who the father was and I was shocked. How do other DC Mom's deal with celebrity friends? It's almost like they don't understand our respect our boundaries? I don't want expensive gifts. In this soulless city, I just need a real connection.

This is all bizarre. You sound pretty judgmental of your “friend”.

It isn't. I have literally no one else to talk to and you are pointing fingers at me? I need support from you, not accusations.

Keep the gifts and enjoy them, and continue to be her friend. Is she moving forward with the pregnancy?

+1. How can we give advice if we don't know who it is? All of my celebrity friends give me Fendi gift baskets and Birkins, so those aren't real clues.

Can other people also see your pregnant celebrity friend?

I need some clarification:

1. Your "friend" is a celebrity whore? Is that it?

2. And she gave you super expensive gifts. correct?

3. And all you truly want is a "real" friend. right?

Just be gracious and accept the gift.

Sometimes when people are over the top gift givers they do it for their own satisfaction. Perhaps she felt that she mistreated you and this is her way to assuage her guilt.

But it’s still nice to express thanks even if you didn’t want to receive such a gift, everyone likes to feel like their gift giving efforts are appreciated.
