Australian songstress Delta Goodrem has sent shivers down the spines of fans after recounting a deeply unsettling and "dark" encounter from her early days in the spotlight.
In a candid and revealing conversation on the Something To Talk About podcast, the 39-year-old star opened up about the sinister underbelly of fame she experienced as a young artist trying to navigate the complex world of show business.
A Sinister Proposition
Goodrem described being pulled aside by an unnamed individual who delivered a cryptic yet profoundly menacing warning. "I had someone take me aside and say some stuff to me that was like, 'You need to know the dark side of this industry','" she revealed, the memory clearly still vivid.
The encounter left a lasting mark on the Born to Try singer, who was just a teenager at the time. She interpreted the interaction not just as a warning, but as a glimpse into a predatory culture that exists behind the glittering facade of Hollywood and the global music scene.
The Lasting Impact of a Chilling Moment
While Goodrem did not divulge the exact nature of the comments or the identity of the individual, the experience was significant enough to shape her perspective on fame. She described the moment as a "big thing" that served as a stark introduction to the potential dangers and manipulations that young, vulnerable stars can face.
This revelation adds a sobering layer to the narrative of her early career, which was simultaneously skyrocketing with chart-topping success and being challenged by a personal battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The singer's decision to speak out now aligns with a broader movement of artists shedding light on the less glamorous aspects of the entertainment world, offering a cautionary tale for aspiring performers.
