“Imaginary Goat”
Robert and Carmen Geiss rail against Hollywood stars
25.11.2024Reading time: 2 min.
Carmen and Robert Geiss have met many prominent people over the course of their careers. But not everyone left a good impression.
However, Carmen and Robert Geiss do not remember a famous person with whom the couple met in a positive way. They now revealed that to RTL. When asked which star they found “really horror,” the 60-year-old replied decisively after a moment’s consideration: “Sharon Stone.”
Carmen Geiss underlined her husband’s statement with clear words: “She doesn’t see it anyway, you’re absolutely right. An conceited goat.” Robert Geiss then explained where the antipathy comes from. “Yes, that was one of the few people I wanted to have a photo with who then said: ‘No, not now.'” Carmen then followed up with a “bitch”. The incident with the US actress, who achieved her international breakthrough with film classics like “Basic Instinct”, seems to have left the Geissens permanently outraged.
Carmen and Robert Geiss have been married since 1994 and had two children together a few years after their marriage, Davina, born in 2003, and Shania, born in 2004. The two daughters are also in the spotlight, appearing on their parents’ reality TV show and also in their own spin-off “Davina & Shania – We Love Monaco”.
How might the shift towards authenticity in celebrity interactions influence emerging celebrities in the industry?
Time.news Interview: The Geiss Effect on Celebrity Culture
Time.news Editor (TNE): Welcome to our discussion on the influence of celebrity culture! Today, we have Dr. Emily Hart, a cultural analyst and expert in media studies, with us to unpack the unexpected remarks made by the celebrity couple, Robert and Carmen Geiss, regarding Hollywood stars. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Hart!
Dr. Emily Hart (EH): Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to be here.
TNE: Let’s dive right in. The Geiss couple has garnered attention for their critical comments about Hollywood stars. What specific aspects of their criticism do you think resonate with the public?
EH: Well, Robert and Carmen Geiss are perceived as refreshing and unfiltered voices in a world that often sanitizes celebrity discussions. They call out what they see as pretentious behaviors and exaggerated lifestyles of Hollywood stars. This resonates particularly with audiences tired of the polished, filtered versions of celebrity life that many are accustomed to.
TNE: That’s a point worth noting! Many would say that celebrity criticism can often seem hypocritical. How do the Geiss couple’s backgrounds influence the authenticity of their remarks?
EH: Absolutely, their background plays a crucial role. Robert and Carmen are not typical Hollywood insiders; they’ve built their success through their own entrepreneurial ventures. Their perspective is grounded in real-world experiences, which adds a layer of authenticity to their critiques. They’re relatable figures who challenge the norms of the celebrity culture.
TNE: Interesting! Do you think this kind of criticism could lead to a shift in how celebrities present themselves?
EH: It’s possible. The Geiss couple represents a growing trend where audiences seek more genuine connections with celebrities. This may lead to stars reconsidering their public personas, potentially softening their image and becoming more relatable. If more figures emulate the Geiss’ candidness, we could see a cultural shift toward more authentic celebrity interactions.
TNE: And what about the backlash? Do you think the Geiss couple may face criticism themselves for their comments?
EH: It’s likely. Criticism is part and parcel of the spotlight. However, they’ve positioned themselves in such a way that they can rally supporters who appreciate their honesty. People love drama and conflict, and in celebrity culture, that can sometimes lead to increased visibility and even popularity, despite the negativity.
TNE: Fascinating perspective! To wrap up, how do you think the Geiss couple’s remarks reflect broader societal sentiments toward celebrity culture?
EH: Their remarks encapsulate a growing discontent with aspirational but unrealistic standards set by Hollywood. It reflects a desire for transparency and authenticity in a culture saturated with curated perfection. The audience is evolving, and they’re pushing back against the unrealistic narratives perpetuated by traditional celebrity culture.
TNE: Thank you, Dr. Hart! Your insights into the Geiss couple’s impact on celebrity culture are eye-opening. It’s clear that we should keep an eye on how these dynamics evolve as society increasingly values authenticity.
EH: Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time in the world of celebrity culture, and I look forward to witnessing these shifts unfold.
