Do you know what NDA means in a relationship? Do celebrities really require their partners to sign an NDA?

I’ve signed a few for professional reasons. At a time I did some dignitary protection work. It’s interesting, you travel the world, stay in ridiculously expensive hotels and dine at fine restaurants but also may be on your feet for 10-19hrs a day. You literally are within earshot of your client for hours on end and (often) they get so used to you being around they don’t even care what they say, do, or admit to. That level of extreme intimacy & knowledge requires trust and that trust is backed with an NDA.


Also, there is a entire class of woman who knows she will never be the romantic partner (or doesn’t even want to be) for that man but she will be the sexual fantasy of his dreams and (whether she is paid directly or through gifts, trips, or generosity) they also use NDAs to insure their arrangement doesn’t surface and damage his career. Entertainers are less worried about this but political leaders and big business absolutely prioritize this NDA aspect.


Man, I could tell some stories, but…NDAs.

i know what it means and i can totally see why a celebrity would need that. like for the average person, their partners spilling the beans about stuff they shouldn't have usually means some minor embarassment. No big deal.

But for a celebrity who's reputation is their livelihood, spilling the beans about certain things can massively ruin their reputation and their income. I mean just look at Johnny depp. He's still rich but Amber Herd "claiming" he abused her got him black listed in most movie studios even tho what she said was proven to be a lie. She did millions and millions of dollars of financial damage to him just by saying that. Damage that she can't even pay with her own money, which is quite a considerable ammount.

so by that example you can see how important it is to legally cover your ass from such things happening. Cause your career may be ruined and you may not be as rich as someone like Johnny Depp to compensate for the loss.

Anybody bringing assets into a marriage should get a prenup.
Imho

[HawkPerception]

Absolutely agree 💯👍

[RainbowMarinade]

…. why the hell was I thinking Prenup? 🤔

I suppose because people like to profit off of personal stories about celebrities. It’s a means of protecting against that. Or trying to at least.
If my intentions were honest, I’d have little problem signing one, depending on the parameters of course.

[HawkPerception]

So you're saying you would not get a prenup?

[RainbowMarinade]

@HawkPerception
No
That is not what I’m saying.
That was not a response to you, but to myself. For misunderstanding the topic.

[HawkPerception]

Ah gotcha

NDAs simply mean you can't mention who you're with. Most celebrities don't do this because it'll come out eventually. I guess the only high profile person I know of who might do that is Pokimane, because a lot of her income comes from horny guys thinking she's single and looking for a guy.

Non Disclosure, we learn it early on in IT & InfoSec. But that's weird, hypothetically you can also have your partner sign a SLA - where you state what kind of efforts are required of you and to what degree; also the consequences of not sticking to the level of service required/stated in the contract.
There's also Memorandum of Understanding, Service lvl of Operations, Acceptable Use Policy, Business Partnership Agrmnt., etc

NDA = Non-Disclosure Agreement.

In short, it means "If you want this settled and to get what you want from me, then you agree to shut-up and not discuss anything about our situation or what was private between us."

[lightbulb27]

not allowed to expose them in public... which would destroy their image and career?

[captain_voidwalker]

It means no matter how much you laugh at my micro penis you can't tell everyone I ha e a micro pen... aww damn now everyone will know about my micro penis lol

[RedInnocent68]

I do. I wouldn’t. I can see why some celebrities would.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Non disclaimer agreement I'm guessing
