Let Bobbi Althoff’s Downfall Be A Lesson To You.
Bobbi Althoff, remember her? The seemingly overnight sensation, “deadpan” interviewer who skipped her first child’s birthday to go lay in bed with Drake?
But don’t let that moment define who she is to you. She also stole, I mean “got inspired” by Funny Marco and allegedly other unconventional interviewers like Ziwi. She also was noticeably spotted a lot with black socialites like Sukihana, a clear “clout” move if you ask me. One that worked for black folks who jump at the bit to give cookout passes to white folks willing to be seen standing next to niggas.
There was also that very loud yet “passively aggressive” interview she did with Offset who broke the 4th wall by making claims that he only sat down with her because he was being forced to in order to promote the music he was dropping at the time, adding fuel to the fiery accusations leveed at Althoff being an industry plant.
Upon my own “research” (watching the YouTube video recommended to me by YouTube, which inspired this piece) I discovered an interview Bobbi Althoff did with actress, singer and fictional spelling bee champ, Keke Palmer for her podcast, “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.” During this interview, Palmer “playfully” mentions how the two have the same manager yet it took her (Palmer) 20 years to get to where she’s at in her career and how little time compared to Palmer and most celebrities it took for Althoff to take off.
Although I think Keke Palmer shouldn’t have in the slightest measured their journey’s, I did find it intriguing to see “nobody really likes her” isn’t just a figment of some hater’s imagination. People tolerate her for the 30–60+ minutes they have to talk to her.
I’m not here to be a messy Queen, promise. Above all this and other shenanigans I didn’t mention, the biggest problem I see with Althoff is she’s the poster child for what will happen when you value being seen over being present, fame over family and flat out being ungrateful.
She is the perfect example of the internet age , she basically left her family making 250k, to stand next to “famous” people and interview them. — DAWNg444.
Past Life.
Before the fame, Bobbi Althoff was a seemingly happily married mother of two making six figures a year as the wife of programmer and Senior Vice President of CompTIA, Corey Althoff, and yet that wasn’t enough. For those who are already assuming “it’s the man’s fault,” he was funding her podcast/social media influencer dreams, still working full time and taking care of their two children with that six figure salary, and that still wasn’t enough. Imagine financially supporting your partner’s dreams while they get time away from parenting and being a partner to you, while they flirt with celebrities, rumored to have had sex with them, and even though none of it has been proven, they continue to betray your trust by hiding text messages and secret conversations from you. Now do you see the problem or is he just another “insecure man who can’t handle a “bad bitch?”” And speaking of, did you see her new look? I’m sure she’s pulling an Iggy and fronting like she just woke up one morning with a naturally enhanced physical feature, but I’ll move on.
According to my research (actual research for the purpose of this piece) her net worth as of 2024 is 4.4 million dollars. That doesn’t mean she has that in the bank, but let’s just say she does. 4.4 million dollars is of course larger than 250K but seeing as she accumulated her millions by not funding her own aspirations, cheated on her ex-husband (who was still gracious enough to allow her to still use and profit off of his last name for HER branding purpose) AND lost divorce court, it doesn’t make her look like the real “winner” after all. Especially when there are clips of her emotionally crashing out about decisions she clearly regrets even though she won’t adit them. She blames Drake for her divorce when she was the one who decided to miss her daughter’s birthday for him, a choice even he acknowledged as a “terrible” decision during their interview. https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/producers/bobbi-althoff-net-worth/.
Listen, I’m not here to crap on Althoff. She pissed her own life away to be seen with and as a celebrity and got nothing but a happy meal for it. I still don’t know her personally enough to holster strong emotions about her, but I can share my thoughts on the actions I feel strongly about, and that’s partly what I’m doing here. What I really want y'all to take from this is you can “have a lot” and still lose everything that truly matters in life (love and other genuine connections) pursuing “more.” This is far from a message of “settling” and not going for yours. What happened here could look like someone who dreams big going after those big dreams, but it’s not. This is someone who wanted to be an internet sensation and was willing to step over anyone to get there, even if that happened to be her own children and husband at the time. Even if that meant compromising her own morals to live a life she herself has at least admitted isn’t for her (the single/promiscuous life). I’m sure the new look was meant to attract a Kardashian fawning baller, but again, I’ll leave it at that and leave this piece here.
Love yourself, love your partner (cherish your connections) and take care of your children.
