Amalie - an embarrasing realitystar


Amalie Szigethy featured in the Paradise Hotel back in 2010 wich started her carreer in realityshows. As the program roled out on the TV-screens in Denmark it soon became clear, that Amalie wasen't the brightest girl Denmark have had in a TV-show. After numerous times of akward sentences Amalie became a sign of ignorance. What she felt about it was that she would rather have bad attention than non attention.

Later on she became a singer and published an album. In the morningshow on TV2 Go' Morgen Danmark, she was promoting her album, and sang one of her songs! It was horrible and I think all of the viewers on Go' Morgen Danmark felt like they got ice cold water down their neck. Later on TV2 made a documentary about Amalies struggle with her album. In the doc Amalie show a side of herself being selfish and dumb. She considered herself as a big star and wouldn't take her work seriously.

She continued participating in realityshows however a few months ago it became clear after the TVshow "Pengene på Bordet" Amalie was living like a superstar but didn't had the money for it. Therefore she had got a debt to SKAT on 150.000 kr. The program brought her irresponsible use of money to light. Her income was unstable and her shoppingrate was beyond limits of a person with that income. But Amalie wouldn't listen to critsism. Experts encouraged her to find a regular job to support her unstable income. Did she take it? of course not.

Many girls in the age 12-18 look up to these personalities. And by giving them space in these tv-shows these girls gets a wrong rolemodel to look up to. Ignorance and bad attention will permeat these teenagegirls. The reason why I only notes the 12-18 year olds is because i think that a person older than 18 years must be clever enough to se the embarrasing and the superficial about this and therefore not considering her as a rolemodel. What needs to be done? should we allow persons of her caliber to be promoted and commercialiesed in these popular TV-shows?
