Part 7/12:
Apple herself is often portrayed as the embodiment of celebrity privilege. Profiles in mainstream media, such as a recent Cut interview, attempt to craft a narrative of a typical college student exploring theater, music, and fashion—yet the tone is monotonous and uninspired. Critics argue that Apple’s statements reveal little depth, mainly revolving around her mundane interests and a supposed love of fashion from childhood, which seems more built on her status than genuine passion.
Her comments about her childhood activities, such as getting excited walking past a Gap store in London, betray a sense of entitlement and superficiality. Critics dismiss her as lacking a unique perspective or talent—simply riding the coattails of her mother’s fame and her father’s connections.
