Be surrounded by controversy before you arrive

Aristotle once said, "To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing." Who would've thought the world's greatest thinker's wise words would apply to being a reality television star? That's right, Aristotle himself is encouraging you to be an unapologetic super skank equipped with an eighth of dank and a bottle of Tanq. And you should be acting like this even when the cameras aren't on you! You cannot be a wallflower for your entire life if you want to be a reality star. Think about it: before Kim Kardashian's meteoric rise to world domination, her sex tape with Ray J got leaked along with an iconic voicemail of her screaming at him. The drama had already begun before KUWTK even started filming. And let's not forget how Alexis Neiers' fell in with a bad crowd that implicated her in the "Bling Ring" and ended up getting her home invaded by a SWAT team the first day of filming Pretty Wild.
