EFFORTPOST Venus Angelic: The Sad Story of a Narcissist Trying to Live Through Her Daughter [EFFORT POST]

Our characters:

Venus Palermo is a former lolita fashion sensation and is now a washed up alcoholic porn star. It's a typical story of what happens to child stars but this occured entirely from internet fame and the influence of one narcissistic fricking basket case.

Margo Palermo, a narcissistic and manipulative stage mother, managed her daughter Venus Angelic's YouTube career with an obsessive and controlling grip. Originally from Hungary, Margo moved the family to multiple countries before settling in South Korea, allegedly to further Venus's modeling career. However, her parenting style was very questionable, as she homeschooled Venus and kept her completely socially isolated, even sharing a bed with her. She desperately wanted to skinwalk her daughter and would do anything it took to live vicariously through her and to make money off her

Venus became viral pretty early in her life, her videos got a lot of reach as it was nestled right into that time in the early 2010s when anime was new and becoming more mainstream to lots of people. She made videos about how to do makeup and cosplay and random jfashion shit like that.

However Margo would force Venus to tailor her content in the way she thought would make the most money, often steering it towards a more sexualized clickbaity style, exploiting cringe Japanese stereotypes, and using a high-pitched “kawaii” voice.

Margo wasn't happy to stay in the background though, she wanted fame for herself dammnit!

She wrote and submitted an article about her daughter which centered her as the mastermind and main character.

Venus was also eventually featured in an episode of the reality show "My Strange Addiction" which was supposed to be about Venus but Margaret shows up in one scene and dances her leathery butt around in Venus's anime dress. It's so embarrassing. The clip has been removed and I can't find it in full anywhere

Here are some stills:

Margo's overbearing nature came out in full force in an interview where she dominated the conversation, even to the point of attacking the interviewer. She spoke for Venus and belittled her. (She literally covered her ears to keep her from hearing about feminism lmao.) Also can't find this video uploaded anywhere.

On social media, Margo didn't hold back either. Using Venus's accounts, she targeted and bullied other models who shared Venus's aesthetic, like KimonoTime and XiaoRishu. She would say they were copying her and threatening her and her mom.

For years people thought Venus and her mom were both attacking them but it later turned out it was almost exclusively her mom running the accounts all along. Margo would defend Venus on her accounts too so this psycho was getting Venus into drama using her accounts and then switching to her other account to defend her.

Margo was copyright striking other fashion youtubers to try and remove competition.

Margo even made tons of alts to harass other fashion youtubers:

This is actually how Venus initially became a lolcow, people noticed these random copying accusations and fashion drama and assumed she was psycho (she is psycho lol but she wasn't doing these things) so when it came to light it had been her mom all along doing this shit it was a major plot twist.

Margo would also beg another jfashion influencer to take a picture with her and then bad mouthed her and said she looked homeless in the caption:

Venus's aesthetic and social circles (really Margo's circles but you know) eventually led to her being introduced to a creep named Mr. Yan, owner of the Lolita clothing brand, Bodyline. Known for making sexual advances towards potential brand reps, he unsurprisingly tried the same with Venus. When she said no Margo got pissed at Venus for ruining the brand deal.

Later, Venus had started chatting with Manaki, a Japanese fan of hers, (this guy had kind of stalked her btw but he's easily the best moid in her life just neurodivergent) and their relationship progressed rapidly and they started dating. He showed up in a few videos and they did cute stuff together.

But weird shit kept happening.

A few months later video titles on Venus's YouTube just started randomly changing from "boyfriend" to "ex-boyfriend." so people thought they had broken up.

Eventually the real story emerged: Venus had moved to Japan to elope with Manaki to break free from Margo's grasp. Margo, having control over Venus's YouTube, altered the titles and made comments about them being broken up herself. (as some kind of cope attempt? To pretend Manaki hadn't taken her daughter away?) Following this, she switched from vigorously defending Venus to fricking dragging her through the mud.

(she killed her hamster )

Venus got control of the accounts again and so Margo started copy right striking her. After a few years of this back and forth shit flinging between mother and daughter, everything calmed down, though Venus's life has spiraled.

She's an alcoholic escort who's dying slowly every day due to getting an illegal stomach shortening surgery after moving out. It's pretty sad tbh. Her thread on lolcow is still pretty active and new crazy shit is happening all the time. Venus divorced Manaki but it seems she may be still fricking him recently. She basically just posts porn, cries about haters, and drinks. That's her whole life now. Venus is irreparably fricked and is so mentally ill that despite her annoying attention whore shit and alcoholism I still mostly just feel bad for her nowadays.

(there are so many pictures of her with alcohol jfc)

Her life is a shit show.

Margo married a US truck driver at some point, though they are divorced now. She is still apparently living in the US, people speculate she may be a meth addict and a 5 dollar truck stop prostitute. She's still desperate for attention on social media though she barely gets any engagement.

(i have no clue where this picture is from but it's so fricking funny)

TLDR for lazy fricks:

Venus has been a youtube celeb since she was 11/12 years old.

She has been dragged around the world and never had a chance to put down roots anywhere or a chance to make any > > > friends that weren't her mother.

She barely went to school and was mostly homeschooled so she's barely literate.

Her mother Margret basically used Venus as a meal ticket + a source of indirect attention for herself.

Venus eventually escaped her mother and leapt into the hands of manaki

She now is divorced and jumping from guy to guy while trying to scrape together enough pennies from onlyfans to afford sake. while her mom gives truck drivers blow jobs in America

_{Anyway, I hope this isn't what's happening with Lil Tay}

Edit:

Wondering about her dad?

According to @Joan:

>Margo being obviously batshit insane ran him off from the get go and he was never a part of her life in any meaningful way. He is a swiss national and lives in Switzerland. There was a video ages ago of her calling her grandmother and because they don't really speak the same language they thought she was asking for money or something and it didn't go well. She does not say if she is in contact with him at all.
