As bad as all of that sounds, and I know it is, I’m not a bad person. I promise! Stephanie’s been by my side through it all. And I know this is going to sound like an excuse, but I did it for her YouTube show. Life with Stephanie now has over two million subscribers, and I thought it’d be funny. I know, stupid of me to think that, but I was growing up. I will never blame Stephanie because she didn’t encourage me to do it. None of it was her idea. When she started filming things for her show, I was always the one to bring it up.
“Oh my God, I’m doing these five fireball shots. Film it!”
“Oh my God, let’s crash Gaga’s set!”
“Oh my God, record this. I’m gonna walk out of here with this purse.”
“No!” She grilled me at the time through a clenched jaw.
“Just film it!”
We didn’t get more than five feet out of the store before we were both stopped. Of course, paparazzi were everywhere. I was sixteen.
As much as I hate the headlines about me, I’m the cause of them all. I know that. And I know Stephanie’s show could’ve easily been called, “Watch a Socialite Spiral into a Drunken Teen Catastrophe,” but it’s not. She’s done okay for herself, talking about pop culture, celebrities, and whatever other fun stuff she likes.
Most importantly, at least to me, is that she stuck by my side through all of my immaturity. She’s my best friend, and I can’t think of not having her in my life.
After the purse incident, my parents told me if I don’t straighten out, they were going to send me away to boarding school. That scared me straight. I still like to have fun, but I like to think I’m not immature anymore. Especially when the idea for an upscale club that catered to celebrities hit me. It’s what I’ve wanted to create and run.
My father thought it was ridiculous, but I was determined. I paid more attention to him and the deals he made. I volunteered to help my mom with all of her paperwork, and asked my father if I could sit in on meetings he was having with Mavin International supervisors. I knew about dance clubs, but business is another thing. I wanted to do this, and I didn’t want to wait for years and years going through business school and getting MBAs and everything else.
So, sure, maybe I did get the chance to do this because he’s my father, but that doesn’t mean I’m taking this lightly. Luxe is my baby, and I’ll be relentless to make it succeed.
