TheBoss 13,513 Posted May 23, 2020 Yes her mom was a teacher and teaching positions are notoriously underpaid and treated like crap int the USA. I don't feel like Lana grew up in a castle. She grew up with fortunate circumstances and comfortably for sure, but to pretend like her dad was a wealthy beyond belief is basically like regurgitating what was said by the very same critics she called out in her letter to the "culture", back when she "first" came on the scene. Β Which also makes me wonder how Rob felt when people were using that dumb rhetoric to drag Lana early on. I agree with this. Β She was clearly not North West, but she came from a "comfortable" background, she wasn't struggling with buying cocoa puffs. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gone user 5,373 Posted May 23, 2020 can anyone go to Lana's house and tell her that the internet is cancelled until further notice so she stops using it for a little while 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArtDecoDelRey 15,284 Posted May 23, 2020 If she doesn't want to be a sex symbol she should stop putting herself on her album covers? wth why can't she have a normal album cover like everyone else, none of them were ever particularly sexy anyways. And I don't think her selfies are ugly at all, just more natural, although I also miss the glamorous eras. so taking photos of yourself to promote your music is equivalent to trying to be a sex symbol? ive heard it all 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

love deluxe 8,861 Posted May 23, 2020 why are you guys even discussing her familial life / whether she came from money lmao. no offense but it's lowkey disrespectful and yeah she's a rich celebrity or whatever but i think it's important to remember that she's a HUMAN too and if we were her fans we wouldn't speculate on things that are INTENTIONALLY PRIVATE. still love u all but this is just my two cents 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Coast 45,795 Posted May 23, 2020 Who asked you lol. DM me if you want to talk shit out. Shading me isn't the one. Β I'm not shading, I just don't see the point of making bold claims about Lana's upbringings? I just don't see why she'd have a reason to lie about any if not all of that as she was already subject to harsh criticism when she said all those things. If you feel as though it was her "shtick" as you elegantly put it that is your prerogative, and you got every right to do so. I guess I just like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but that's also my prerogative. It is her life after all. Β That is all.

love deluxe 8,861 Posted May 23, 2020 because she (Lana) brought it up in a recent instagram post where? even if she "brought it up" why does that make it okay for people to make bold and straight up false accusations about her upbringing and family life??? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
