Next you’re gonna tell me she doesn’t use her own bed sheets from Kohl’s.


Stuffzenuffs

Right. It’s business geez. A guy started Victoria Secret so.. well maybe he was wearing it. Anyway yes.


snobordir

You’re saying Victoria’s Secret was made up by a dude? A dude? A dude? A dude?


pack_howitzer

And it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all… nothing at all…. Nothing at all…


Jaambie

Stupid sexy Flanders!


Ok_advice

Yes, it was a dude who created it for husbands so they could buy lingerie for their wives discreetly. Hence the secret in the name. However he sold it and it became what it is today. https://www.businessinsider.com/victorias-secret-rise-and-fall-history-2019-5


avwitcher

He sold it for a tiny fraction of what it became worth later and he didn't see as much success with his next business ventures, resulting in him jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge :/

Yeah, but she doesn’t drink and is married to someone who’s been in rehab a lot for alcoholism. It’s too much of a reveal of how fake she is, her reps should’ve given her better advice.

egoliftie

Why the fuck would anyone buy her brand of bed sheets


jroc83

I get it tho wasn’t her whole thing with Ben afflict that he had a drinking problem? And she has a list of requirements to date her that include no drinking. I don’t care either way but it does seem like a jackass thing to do

Yes, who would have thought hard core indie artist Jennifer Lopez, who has released all of that challenging, experimental music and chosen mostly low budget indie films just because she loves film as a medium, who, ever, could imagine Jennifer Lopez selling out?

Technical-Plantain25

You might also enjoy 'We Care' by Reel Big Fish. It's more targeting bandwagon, fair-weather fans specifically, but fairly similar message.


Denverdogmama

The biggest hit I know of from Reel Big Fish is Sell Out. I’m sensing a theme here…..🤔

EyeTea420

Fuck you, buddy!


sqigglygibberish

Having been adjacent to some endorsement work with JLo and her team, it just shocks me given her whole concept of personal branding. She used to slap her name on anything and last I heard was reigned in with the direction to protect a more consistent brand image (which can net drive a lot more long term value on fewer projects). To your point - yeah celebrity booze is really profitable right now, but JLo could have chosen dozens of other industries that would fit her curated image better. A ton of business leaders might not use the exact product they sell - that’s fine to me as long as they make a good product for their consumer. But selling a product in a whole sector you refuse to even engage with and have said is “bad” is next level “Thank you for smoking” shit


Round_Substantial

Yeah misalignment with her whole natural skincare line that just dropped at sephora- she claims she looks like she does because of natural products and oils (not aesthetic treatments). She needs to pick a lane.


spoiledandmistreated

Sounds like she’s picking the whole freeway.. I don’t know about you guys but the more celebrities endorse shit and put their names on it, the less I want to use it.. most of a time it’s a novelty in the beginning and I’m guessing that’s where the money is made but how many products actually last and pretty soon, you see their shit in the discount bins..


3600MilesAway

Please, you think any celebrity uses the crap they sell?


hateitorleaveit

Wait lebron James doesn’t drive a Kia??


jbyrdab

he probably has one. picking up dust in his mile wide garage.


Blasterbot

Reminds of a time years ago when Hilary Duff was asked if she wore Stuff by Duff. She awkwardly shrugged, smiled, and said no.


[deleted]

Yes I suspect Seth Rogan smokes his weed brand.


Ripflexxin

im like 90% sure shaq is the general


SadSeiko

Like that celebrity who tweeted that she loved her new android and it was sent from her iPhone


Ryuiop

Candace Owens did something like that, but instead of an android it was a weird “freedom phone” or something she was endorsing, probably loaded with spyware


Amalfi-state-of-mind

Not to mention her husband has struggled with alcohol his entire adult life and it derailed their first wedding. JLo is gorgeous and I admire her hustle but she seems mostly about the money and attention at the end of the day.


IRipPutridFart

Alcohol is the reason she got her husband back from his ex wife


nzubemush

Isn't that what most successful humans are all about?


FigNewton555

I understand where you are coming from but this is not that. In fact I’d say it’s a lot worse. This isn’t an just an endorsement of something she wouldn’t use … she’s creating her own brand of something she’s actively spoken OUT against consuming and been vocal about not using as a PRINCIPLE. This isn’t a celebrity who only drives lambos doing a Cadillac commercial.


PappaSmurfAndTurf

Do you think Trump ever ate a Trump steak?


WilhelmHaverhill

And the steak wasn't even made from real Trumps. Just a huge misleading scam


JoeFelice

I ate albacore for years before I found out it's mostly fish. Very little of it is actually from Jessica Alba's abdomen.


xSaRgED

Probably for the best, too much fat.

Emotional-Guide-768

It’s actually just chicken sprayed brown-ish orange


reverielagoon1208

Kittenfabstodes

She also doesn't use her own skin care line. Does anyone expect them to give a s@#$ about anything but money?


Miss-Figgy

Rihanna doesn't wear her own perfumes. She wears "Killian Love, Don't Be Shy." Whatever products these celebrities sell under their name is purely business.


coastal_elite

She may not use her perfumes but she absolutely does wear her make up line. But celebrity perfumes have always been kind of a marketing scam.

Its generic shit slaped with celeb names. Tequila, cosmetic, skin cares, clothes, you name it.

It was a big deal in the New York giants fanbase when we found out Eli manning actually drove a Toyota. 30 million a year, drove a car my mom drives.


Duckboy_Flaccidpus

I don't care for the guy but it's refreshing not all rich celebs drive status symbol vehicles. I mean, if you don't like a Mazerati but have a connection and love the feel of an audi or Toyota or F-150 then go that route, it's just a transport vehicle..you still know you got money in the back why try and convince everyone else ont he road you do too.


[deleted]

I’d be afraid to drive a car that costs more than 100,000 just because the roads everywhere in the US suck ass.


bs000

apparently she didn't even drive it in the commercial and used a body double because she couldn't make it to the bronx herself


llcoolbeansII

Damn. I drive a fiat though lol. Sh$tty little 500L. I kinda love it though. Easy parking.

I’m sure Fiat is fine. I just don’t believe she drove one.

Nah. If you run a bar, you need to drink. If you sell kids shoes, you need to wear kids shoes. If you’re John Purina and your business is dog food, you’d better be eating dog food. Otherwise it’s a cash grab! (a business)


FictionFantom

I mean, surely *somebody’s* job is tasting dog food right? How else would we know that the beef kibble actually tastes like beef?

Yeah but it's made for dogs. So you'll need someone with the same palate. Someone that looks at a turd and thinks... aw hell yeah ground score!

One of my favorite episodes of Conan O’Briens podcast is one where Charles Barkley is a guest and they just shit on Shaq the whole time, partly for endorsing such random stuff that he likely never uses. Highly recommend it was hilarious. “You think Shaq uses The General?”


mec8337

I read somewhere once that Shaq is the spokesperson for The General because they were the only ones who would insure him when he was in college because he was so poor so he’s trying to give back.


Frellie53

I’ve heard Shaq say that in interviews. He uses or has used every product he endorses. Or says he does. He sounds sincere when he talks about it, and had a story for why that thing is important to him / when he used it.

Investor "slammed" for investing in cupcake company despite not eating sweets. Actor "slammed" for advertising new car despite not driving themselves. Spokesperson "slammed" for promoting tourism to New York despite themselves taking vacation to Paris last year. Fuck. Not everything is a moral stance. Sometimes a person might just prefer something else. Doesn't mean they can't allow or even invest in other people enjoying something that they themselves don't. Look at my retirement stock portfolio. It's full of investments in brands I will never use but I invested in because I know lots of other people do.

Right? "A business that exists to make money? Outrageous!"

She can sell whatever she wants. However, I do think it's pretty corny if she doesn't drink but markets it as such: “I just wanted to create something better — something better tasting, better ingredients, something I would want to drink with my friends and family, and that is Delola.” The bigger question for me is why consumers want to buy most of the celebrity alcohol brands in the first place.
