‘Britain’s Got Talent’: Press decides to bombard Misstasia member Enola Dyer
We would hate to have almost any sort of past at all if we were a contestant on “Britain’s Got Talent,” mostly because if you say even remotely one thing that is controversial, the press will milk the heck out of it to the point where you are portrayed as a terrible human being.
Ultimately, this seems to be what is happening here to Misstasia member Enola Dyer, mostly because of the fact that her past may not be entirely as squeaky-clean as the show tried to make it Saturday with her being a part of a music group with a serious Disney princess vibe going on. First, she came under fire for claiming in old tweets that “The X Factor” was a “fix,” and more or less a terrible thing to come on TV. It’s probably not the best thing to have said since Simon Cowell more or less owns both shows, but let’s put it this way: How many times have you declared that a reality show is a fix after one of your favorites goes home? The mistake that Dyer makes here is the same one that many reality stars do: Underestimating the amount of free time some people have to dig through every thing that you said in the past.
Also, there’s another story out today in the Mirror proclaiming her a “fake” for having auditioned for the show many years ago as a solo act, even though she never even made it to the judges.
We’re not going to completely sign off on Dyer as a human being given we don’t know her and have no idea if she actually is the same person on and off-stage. However, it feels like the press is painting her as some sort of terrible person, which is interesting given that she has not said or done anything that salacious. Also, she’s protected her Twitter account as a result of all this.
The only thing we’ll say for the time being is this: If we were Misstasia, we’d seriously consider changing their name. We tried to run a Google Image Search in order to get a photo for this article, but let’s just say that the results were not Disney princess approved. (It’s not their fault; there’s just something else that is spelled very similar that is definitely not safe for work.) We don’t want to get thrown out of the Starbucks we’re writing this article at, so the logo above will have to work vs. searching for a photo on there.
