Cal and Nia...
I feel like I keep having to remake this same exact post over, and over, and over again. Before I even start I'm going to say my usual disclaimer: calum and Nia are great friends, work together, and do pr together for promotion of hey Violet, BUT they are NOT in a relationship. Drama surrounding them ALWAYS happened when there is a big event for HV happening soon. Their PR is meant to be a catalyst for said event. Fans either see Nia for the first time or are reminded of her because of the silly relationship rumors, and they see what she's up to. In most recent cases, it has been the Hey Violet Album release coming up in June. Now, they hang out often because they are real life friends (I know shocking, we live in a world where so many seem to think that's impossible), and often with other friends. A lot of the time, however, the public will see what they want us to see. SO EVEN IF someone else is present and hanging out with them, there are times where we will never see it. Picture wise. PR is public relations which might as well stand for promotion to the public. For example, since partaking in Pr with calum, HV has been sponsored (most specifically Rena and Nia), by drop dead, a brand cal is known to be involved with. In other words, drop dead sends items, even old limited edition ones, to the girls (like they have done to 5sos before) and they wear it. Sometimes, like in the case of a sweatshirt that calum owns but Nia was seen wearing, there are in fact, 2 sweatshirts. SHOCKER (not really). Pr and branding for a clothing brand (in that example) or for a band or organization (hey Violet) are so extremely common in Hollywood and even with internet celebrity. For example, this past weekend, calum and Nia were seen, both in melrose, on the same day, but (not sure) together. She actually was seen on a small brand's Instagram page (this isn't the first time) as a way to catch attention for the brand (she was pictured with one of their shirts on). NOW: notice how this happened on a day where (and calum turns down photos often) calum was taking photos and even videos with fans, before anyone even knew she was relatively in the same area. SO: it's not odd that people wouldn't be able to see the fact that Nia wasn't there alone, besides people assuming she was with cal as well (not saying she wasn't, just saying that as of right now it's an assumption.) and that people looked over the fact that she was only pictured branding for an indie brand. ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ This post may seem random but I have received a lot of questions today from people who seem to be very confused on pr and it's concepts. They aren't in a relationship. They are friends. And the entire idea of pr is meant to deceive people into supporting something they, otherwise, wouldn't know about. That being said pr is not a bad thing, it is responsible for getting many people to where they are know (for example, Abigail Breslin and Michael, and well as ashton and Gemma styles have been linked for pr purposes). ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ I know this will confuse a lot of people who don't know much about the subject, but most people don't so that is not really any of your faults; management companies would actually prefer if we stayed in the dark on their techniques ๐. ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ Anyway, I know I have came off as rude to some people in the past like 24 hours because I feel like people ignore what I say and just say what they want, on MY blog, anyway. And I shouldn't have been rude. So I'm sorry if I was personally rude to any of you ๐ Any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to send an ask (even on anon), or a dm if that makes you more comfortable. I love talking to y'all!!!
