Celebrity peers called out for disingenuousness by Mariella Ahrens: "All talk, no action"
In the world of entertainment, it's not uncommon to see celebrities lending their names and resources to charitable causes. However, Mariella Ahrens, a 56-year-old actress known for her roles in shows like "Good Times, Bad Times", "The Mountain Doctor", and "SOKO Munich", has a different perspective.
Ahrens, who founded the "Lebensherbst e. V." association in 2005, which campaigns for care-dependent elderly people nationwide, encourages non-prominent individuals to engage in social projects. She believes that those who are doing well could support more and spread positivity, even if they have limited resources.
However, Ahrens has observed a troubling trend among some of her celebrity colleagues. She accuses them of hypocrisy, suggesting that they only talk about social issues but do not take action. Ahrens has criticized these celebrities for only engaging in social work officially and not in practice.
Despite this critique, Ahrens does not dismiss the impact of celebrity involvement in charity work. She acknowledges that events like the one where she participated alongside UNICEF-related causes can help raise awareness and funds for charitable causes.
Ahrens' partner, Marco van Dré, is an entrepreneur who founded an animal protection organization. Together, they are considering developing a joint project to expand Ahrens' own social commitment. However, details about this potential project are not yet available.
Ahrens believes that even if a celebrity promotes a social project for selfish reasons, it is better than nothing. She emphasizes that small actions can make a difference in social work. She wishes for more initiative from her celebrity colleagues in supporting social work.
Despite questions about whether she lives her engagement only for the public, Ahrens remains undeterred. She believes that if everyone supports each other more, they can potentially improve the world a little.
