Parents spark controversy with reaction to daughter’s ‘influencer management’ deal

A woman’s birth parents are furious after her stepmother gave her business advice. The stepmother took to Reddit’s “Am I the A******” forum for advice. “My stepdaughter runs an Instagram page/YouTube channel with a decent amount of following … She makes some money off it and her father wanted her to sign up with an ‘agency’”. “He had done most of the work and she had a contract in hand. She asked me to take a look at it … The document was biased against her”. “They got control over any intellectual property she created, more than half the cut of all her earnings and their marketing commitment was very vaguely defined”. But when the stepdaughter agreed with her stepmother, her parents became furious. “Her father hates that I interfered in his relationship with his daughter. Her mother (my wife) is not happy either as she doesn’t want my daughter to be self-employed”. “The ensuing fallout between her dad and her has strained their relationship. I feel like, I poured fire on a family feud”. Reddit users were on the stepmother’s side “It sounds like a scam,” one person said.
