Disney star crumbles into a cry as he experiences his first media scrum
Jeremy Shum’s “alleged affair” with Miley Cyrus has caused various big names to comment on the media scrum behind the news.
One person who wished to be unnamed commented “If I hear another word about Jeremy Shum’s ‘alleged affair’ with Miley Cyrus, I think I will jump off Sydney Harbor Bridge”.
We are talking about a native Adelaidean Jeremy Shum is the 17-year-old behind MyRockStarDream.com who is so talented that he landed his own Disney pop show which was downloaded by more than 2.5 million people across the planet at the mere age of 15. We are talking about a young man who is predicted by Associated Content as the “soon-to-be household name” if he gets his way… which he obviously getting into Law school at the mere age of 15. We’re talking about a boy who will be making a million bucks weekly in the future. You got that straight?
Jeremy, a teen, obviously fell in love with Miley Cyrus, and told his friends all about how “hot” he thought she was … not expecting that it would become tomorrow’s front story. There was no ulterior motive on his part or the part of his parents. No thoughts of furthering a career in Senior Management that is already a multi-million dollar empire. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a hired troublemaker who specializes in such. Consider where you read the headlines.
Let me ask a question: Where does the media fit in all this brouhaha? Were they for or against the relationship or the leaked pictures? Doesn’t the newspapers have to approve all the articles? Did they have the journalist take the “leaked” (or stolen) chat logs to sell newspapers?
Had Hollywood and the tabloids not got their mangy hands on the story, blown it all out of proportion and run with it, there never would have been a story. That is, unless tabloids wanted to sell tons of newspapers.
Media must back off.
