Mariel Pamintuan, a 25-year-old Sparkle artist, has spoken out against how certain well-known celebrities have bullied, intimidated, and intimidated her.
Mariel, who is sometimes referred to as a “starlet” by her detractors, has made the decision to accept the moniker and shed light on the difficulties experienced by newbies to the field.
On September 26, 2023, Mariel posted on TikTok in response to a critic who said they wanted “to be an artist who is not famous.”
She began by relating an event that happened during a slapping scene involving a well-known co-star. Mariel claimed that despite being a “starlet,” the lead actor was always given precedence in scenes.
They practiced blocking for a slapping scenario but refrained from applying actual smacks. Mariel was advised by the producer not to smack too hard because the lead actor had a reputation for being imposing.
When comparing seasoned performers to “starlets,” Mariel also noticed a striking difference in how mistakes were handled; she discovered that when a seasoned actor made a mistake, they were gently reprimanded and given another chance, whereas “starlets” were frequently subjected to severe criticism.
The treatment of “starlets” who make mistakes, according to Mariel, would be demonstrated by remarks like, “Tapos pag starlet ka lang, tapos hindi ka naman major role, pamparami lang, pag nagkamali ka, yari ka. Wag kang magkakamali. Ookrayin ka.”
Mariel emphasized that these difficult experiences have motivated her to work hard to succeed in her career. Mariel has been a part of the entertainment industry since she was just three years old, despite having yet to secure a prominent role.
