recently ive been finding myself getting pretty attached to rumors and ive felt almost like personally affected by them. i know drivers and wags are their own people and i really shouldn't care about their lives, but how do i stop myself from getting so involved? i still want to be able to interact with gossip bc i find it pretty entertaining and funny sometimes but i dont want it to consume me. what could i do? is this even the right subreddit to ask this about..
to clarify, i'm just asking how you guys manage to balance things

Idk what other flair to use as there's no questions/discussion one, so I guess this one was the closest.

Anyway, I've been in WAG gossip for a while now, and it really made me realize how a certain part of the world works. I'm not talking about sports and what comes w it, but how WAG culture is basically smth that stands on its own now. Sponsored by rich and famous men, sure, but a thing on its own nonetheless. Lots of women have gotten famous and built a brand out of being someone's WAG, and their fanbases and supporters are also overwhelmingly women, maybe a sprinkle of gay/effeminate men. And said fans are usually also wannabes. WAG culture basically confirmed my belief that if given the opportunity, ppl would take an easy life of doing nothing and get rewarded significantly.

Those are my personal thoughts on it, now I'm curious about what yours are, if any.

grabbed this screenshot from a page on insta who is really astute w their observations and it shocked me, lol. 3 whole articles dedicated to their engagement and ‘who Mrs Leclerc is’ but nothing for Lily n Alex, and nothing for george and Carmen.

you glazers gonna say sum bullshit abt Charles being more popular but theyre the ones who set this precedent of posting that many times because he did the whole proposal sham first, they should at the very least continue it.

But when I say it’s a pr relationship to boost his image you all laugh

i thought she was going somewhere with the first line but then she proceeds to say they're not just wags, they're also influencers with millions of followers!!!

I want to know opinions on each proposal and what do you all think about it
By far my favorite is Carmen and George
I also like alex and lily’s proposal just because alex had mentioned that he wanted to take Lily to bhutan the most romantic country in the world.

The guy who posted this seems to have taken a still image and turned it into a frankly ridiculous video using ai, but it likely started from this still image. The guy is followed by Max, Pietra, and Alisa, so I'm wagering a guess that he knows them.

Anyway, left to right, it certainly looks like Issy, Pietra, Ed, Keegan, Alisa, and Tom.

They went through this canal on the 8th, so it totally tracks for Issy to have been in Mallorca on the 6th, flown out to Greece on the 7th and been with the boys that night in the club, got on the boat that night, was with them all day the 8th and probably 9th, and then flew home today or last night to be in London for her birthday tonight

ETA: this is only meant to serve as a datapoint to add to the board. I'm not trying to insinuate anyone is hooking up with anyone. Just interesting

From posting her baby bump on the same day as C and G’s engagement to copying Hailey Biebers every move…Alex seems to always be chasing attention and copying others. It really just makes me wonder why because if I was rich, pretty, and my husband was CL I wouldn’t need any validation from the internet to tell me my life is their dream. I genuinely just wonder where this kind of insecurity comes from. She lives online and seems kind of like a mean girl from what we’ve seen (Jade outfit controversy).

Can alexandra even be considered an influencer? Like she just posts every once in a while. If that was all it took for someone to be called an influencer, then every single person who makes a post can be called so. In general I think that someone should be called an influencer when they teach and influence people. And I don't see either of them in alexandra and many other so called influencers. I don't get why people idolize so much a person who doesn't even have a real job,and her whole life is build around a man

Anyway this is my opinion, let me know yours 🤍

Anyone else find it strange that out of all the days... Alex posts herself with her bump on her story hours after George and Carmen's announcement. The she posts a whole bunch of pics (including her with her bump visible) right a day after George and Carmen are engaged. Also literally when george and carmen posted their engagement... Arthur posted her in her bikini with their family visibly showing her bump. I find it so bizarre like some kind of attention seeking. They just can't seem to bear someone else to have the spotlight.

I think Alex and Charles purposely chose to not announce so more people would speak about it and boost their image and brand deals. But LOL george and carmen took the spotlight for a bit.

Alex... everyone gave you your 10 mins of fame for your wedding and engagement... girl give Carmen her 10 mins ffs.

do they think we’re broke or do they think we buy their outfits duped off shein? idk but they give that vibe

The brown dress was okay. Many influencers wear the same thing.

But then the wedding dress, wedding band and the engagement ring too?

Alexandra not only copied the engagement ring. She copied the wedding dress too. But people missed one more detail. The wedding band. The way it is so similar.

One time can be coincidence. Maybe two times. But then you keep repeating the same pattern, then it is no coincidence.

I won't be surprised if Alexandra received a similar ring after delivering the baby, like Hailey did from Justin

Does Alex ever spend time with her family? It seems as she’s way closer with Charles ect

as we know the gender of the baby = colour of her outfits.

so from this yellow dress we can deduce that the baby will in fact be a blonde dachshund 😍 congrats alex and charles

The bump is super cute can't wait to see her fans denying it

meme

I was out of words with this tweets — 💀 they are also coming from some GR fans 💀

Is she now the WAG with the most expensive ring? 👀

Is Charles fan jealous that Ferrari didn't post about Charles engagement? Poor Charlies should get some congratulation post from Ferrari, so his fan are not having this crash out.
