I used to think the crying in apology videos was always real until I saw one from a singer in Nashville
I was watching this singer's apology video after her concert mess last month, and she started crying right when she said the words 'my team'. It felt off, so I replayed it a few times. I noticed the tears came exactly on cue each time, like she was hitting a mark. It made me question every single teary apology I've ever seen. Has anyone else caught a star using tears on a scripted schedule?
Read an interview with a former PR person who said they keep saline drops on set for exactly this. Makes you wonder how many of those moments are just good production.
Check out the behind the scenes footage from that big makeup brand scandal last year. The camera cuts away right as the CEO reaches for a tissue, but you can see a little bottle on the desk. Makes you wonder if they rehearse the exact moment to break down.
