Kate Moss ignores ‘nepo baby’ uproar and signs friend’s daughter to modelling agency

Kate Moss is clearly not concerned about the dispute over ‘nepo babies’ – people who have profited from nepotism thanks to their parents’ careers.

He reportedly signed up another daughter of a famous friend to his modeling agency.

The new recruit is Bliss Chapman, 17, the daughter of model-turned-nutritionist Rosemary Ferguson and artist Jake Chapman and the ex-girlfriend of Cruz Beckham.

Bliss was a bridesmaid at Kate’s 2011 wedding to musician Jamie Hince and is also the ex-girlfriend of the youngest Beckham boy, Cruz.

The young couple separated in March last year after 18 months of dating, which was made public when they were photographed hand in hand at the Reading Festival.

And the young beauty is now joined by her half-sister, Elfie Reigate, 22, who was the agency’s debut signing Kate Moss.

The term nepo babies was coined online and is used to describe the children of celebrities who easily land in show business, shielded by their parents’ famous names.

Tom Hanks recently responded to claims that his children were the beneficiaries of nepotism, as he insisted that they were all just getting into the “family business.”

Talking with Reuters via The Sunmade comparisons to small, family-run businesses where everyone in the household was expected to contribute.

His defense came amid the recent ‘nepo baby’ uproar surrounding the children of Hollywood stars who have risen to fame with the help of their famous parents.

Lily-Rose Depp, Maude Apatow and many others were among those who graced the cover of New York Magazine’s The Year of the Nepo Baby.

The article that caused the furor was published in December and featured other children of the rich and famous who were lucky in the genetic lottery.

Celebrity nepotism is nothing new, but the insult ‘nepo baby’ has become increasingly popular as a shorthand way of ridiculing it.

Last month, Kate’s sister Lottie Moss provoked social media followers after lending her support to Lily Allen amid the ongoing debate.

Lottie stated that she is “fed up with people blaming nepotism for why they are not rich or famous or successful”, but admitted that she is in a “privileged” position because of Kate, 48.

Entering the debate on Twitter, she wrote: “I’m so sick of people blaming nepotism for why they’re not rich or famous or successful – it’s obviously not fair that people who come from famous families get an advantage because of that.” But guess that?

‘Life is not fair, if you focus on something you can achieve anything! So instead of being negative about other people’s success, try creating your own!’

The comment drew an inevitable backlash from fans, with many referencing his connection to supermodel Kate as the foundation of his own modeling career.

Taking the reaction lightly, he added: “I love it when people get so pressured for something that I tweet GET A LIFE.”

The young model later admitted that her supermodel sister had provided an important stepping stone into the industry, but maintained that she led a comfortable life despite Kate’s undeniable help.

She wrote: ‘And I’m privileged for so many other reasons and as I say I’m grateful for everything but f*cking others because it makes NO sense. Obviously, I also have the privilege of being related to a great model.

“Obviously I’m very grateful to have had the opportunities that I’ve had, don’t get me wrong.” [sic]

this is coming after her sister Lottie appears to target Kate for the second time.

Lottie launched another attack on Kate last month in glamor magazine UK, insisting that he has never been close to her.

Lottie recalled: ‘When I started out, I was always just Kate Moss’s sister. It was really hard for me growing up, especially not being that close to my sister (we’re not in a relationship yet now, which is something I never talk about).

“But back then, people were constantly bombarding me asking about my sister. I would go to my friends’ houses and there would be pictures of her on the walls, and it really caused a lot of abandonment issues.”

Storm Management brought Kate out of obscurity in 1988 after agency founder Sarah Doukas spotted the dainty model walking through New York’s JFK airport after a family vacation in the Bahamas.

Since then, she’s cemented her place as one of the world’s most instantly recognizable supermodels, a revered icon for fashion-conscious girls the world over, but Lottie claims her sister offered no support as she took her first tentative steps. as a model in her own right.

Lottie added: “It’s hard when you have someone ‘close’ to you doing the exact same job as you, who is already very prominent in the industry, but doesn’t have any advice or guidance.”

The young model finally found a foothold after appearing in photo shoots for Dazed and Teen Vogue magazines, before mimicking Kate’s 1992 Calvin Klein underwear campaign by starring in her own promotional shoot for the fashion brand. life.

But while there were good times in the fashion industry, she believes they were overshadowed by the constant pressure to be thin, wear sample dresses and remain at the beck and call of her agents.

She recalled, “I would cry on set when I felt too uncomfortable, and they would just fix my makeup.” I never received the support I needed from the people who were supposed to take care of me.

‘The attitude was more, ‘put a plaster on the problem and keep it working; give her alcohol or whatever to keep her going,’ instead of, ‘Okay, maybe this girl needs some help.’

After falling into what she describes as a “deep depression”, Lottie took a break from modeling in April 2021, while sharing a house with close friend Sahara Rey, an OnlyFans content creator, in Los Angeles.

And it was here, within an online community far from the catwalks of London, Milan, Paris and New York, that Lottie says she finally found her niche after joining the site in June.

She added, “The modeling industry is so glamorous and OnlyFans is so villainous, but OnlyFans is the only place I’ve ever felt so empowered and confident.”

“Looking back at how I started this year, I never would have imagined that I would end up in the best place of mind I’ve ever been.

“I’m part of a community on OnlyFans: I love nudity, I love doing nude photoshoots, feeling good about myself and seeing other girls feel proud of themselves too.”
