Sophie Monk, Fantasy and Reality
Sophie Monk, a former member of the band Bardot, dreamed of becoming a Hollywood star. She was about to make her big screen debut and launch a successful career. However, she recently said that the Hollywood casting couch culture was a major motivating factor in her choice to retire.
Questions and uneasy predicaments
This week, Stellar Magazine published an interview with Sophie Monk in which she discussed the “casting couch culture” in Hollywood. She talked about going to meetings where she wasn’t sure if they were just professional readings or if there was more going on. She was put in the unpleasant position of having to deal with circumstances in which someone’s crush on her affected casting choices. According to her, “even my dentist wanted a reality show.”
Sophie said that she had been informed about the unusual vibe in Hollywood before she arrived. At first, though, she was confident that she could deal with it. Over time, however, she came to see that the Hollywood establishment was not compatible with her goals and ideals.
A Trip Down Under
After coming to this conclusion, she made the life-changing decision in 2015 to move back to Australia. When she returned to Australia, she found new popularity on television as a host for Channel Nine’s Beauty and the Geek and Love Island.
