I was struck by something else.
Who describes someone's family as their "entourage"?
- gowld 5y agoSomeone who doesn't know the precise identities of everyone in the group following her around, or someone describing a diverse group of associates. This is completely normal langauge.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThere may have been non-family members also in that group but not in the photo.
- perl4ever 5y agoSure. Lots of things are possible. But what was written was that the group was her family members and then it was called an "entourage". Which is odd as it stands. It could well be sloppy writing or an editing mishap. However, it felt to me like it might signify an awkward attempt to dehumanize her and her family, since that was the overall theme of the article.
- dylan604 5y agoDoes your family travel with you everywhere you go for work, play, any appearance? Was Johnny Drama part of Vince's entourage? It would be easy to consider someone's relative as part of the entourage while other relatives just a relative.
- perl4ever 5y agoSorry, my point was apparently unclear. I don't know who was in the group. Maybe the writer does, or maybe they don't. Maybe it was just her family, maybe it wasn't. However, the entourage is described as being her family members immediately prior. Speculating about the facts doesn't improve the writing (or the editing if that's at fault). It is what it is presented as, unless you were there or something.
