Emily Simpson was very thankful and at the same time, people on social media acknowledged her after the charity event that was very advantageous. The Innocence Center received a large amount of money through their party which paid for a tuition for an exoneree who would be going to the mechanics school, thus allowing him or her to learn the necessary skills for getting back to life after being wrongly imprisoned. Simpson’s post highlighted the collaboration that had made it possible.
The post was very welcomed by the followers, with many of them complimenting Simpson’s altruistic deeds. A user remarked ‘Emily, thank you for using your platform for so many important causes’ who also seemed to be giving her continuous support, and another one wrote, ‘Just love how much you do to help people and animals!’ This vibe goes well with the well-known fact that Simpson is considered capable of providing support in various areas through her philanthropy which is not limited to the particular charitable event in question.
On the other hand, the comments were also a reflection of the tensions between the characters in the reality show. Several users referred to the absence of Tamra Judge, who is also a cast member, from the event. The statements ‘No Tamra? I love it already!’ and ‘I love this Pic! No Tamra!!’ were made by two different people who expressed their opinions and feelings very strongly about the situation. These remarks indicate that the audience is well aware of the cast’s relationships which sometimes are even reflected in the real-life activities discussions.
Another typical issue was the actress Katie whose case one user questioned in this manner, ‘how can you bring up Katie’s stuff but still work for the innocence center?’ The user was suggested to concentrate on the innocence center and her son in reply. It seems that the audience is linking this type of situation with charities due to the show and thus the influence of the storylines.
There were comments about Simpson’s appearance at the function, one follower wrote, ‘Love your fun girl vibes and you positive fun energy,’ another one complimented, ‘I love your outfit!’ Fashion-related comments are quite common on posts about Simpson on her social media.
The list of comments did not only contain compliments and one of the critical ones was ‘Not a fan of Emily anymore. She talks over everyone. Thinks she is superior and is the queen instigator of all the drama taking no accountability.’ This opinion is shared by a part of the audience that has formed negative views depending on the narrative that has been edited for the show.
The overwhelming success of the fundraiser proves that Simpson can indeed use her voice for the betterment of the society. Supporting such a cause as vocational training not only offers a life-saving effort but also an opportunity of becoming financially independent, self-sufficient and unapologetically taking back power through the school tuition of mechanics which is much more than just going for education—it is getting the ability to make a good living and survive by yourself.
Simpson’s collaboration with The Innocence Center is a testimony to the fact that she has always been using her voice for different causes, even when the issues were small and less known to the public. Her charitable activities, while drastically different from those of the reality TV world, stem from a social issue commitment that may not always be fully represented on the show. This particular event is especially so worth it as there is a direct, hence tangible, outcome where one person’s entire education and future has been funded.
The variety of people’s opinions reflected in the comments is indicative of the different perceptions and relationships that reality TV stars have with their audience. While many people express their gratitude for the charitable actions of Simpson, others see it through the lens of their perspective shaped by the edited TV storylines, and they are still having difficulty discerning between the two. This is a common occurrence with public figures whose lives are only partially captured for entertainment purposes.
The charity event of Emily Simpson for The Innocence Center can be seen as a turning point in the struggle for the reform of the criminal justice system. The event that gave the exonerated people concrete and practical support has progressed from mere awareness creation to direct action. The tuition funding that the Simpson-organized event has successfully achieved is a perfect example of how impactful celebrity platforms can be if the focus is on specific achievable goals that change lives.
