Eunice Olsen Goes from Actress‑Host to Police Report Hero
What Happened?
So there you are, minding your own business—maybe catching the trains at Raffles Place—and bam! A billboard flashes a cheeky invitation that smells oddly like a bad college crush. The ad reads: @euniceolsen Would you rather French Kiss or take me out for the French Film Festival? Curious? You’d be curious. But it turns out that no one in Eunice’s circle, not even her manager, had an ink‑on‑paper deal with Circles.Life to feature her name.
The Backstory
Circles.Life ran a quirky challenge: people could submit their own “Epic Invite,” pick an event, and fling a shout‑out at a celebrity or friend. The company then teased the possibility that the best submissions might land on a billboard. One subscriber—@alexkrygsman—wrote the lines that unknowingly turned Eunice into a laughingstock. Circles.Life didn’t realize that the ad might cross the line from “fun” to “disrespectful.”
How the Ad Unrolled
- At the Raffles Place MRT station, a billboard gleamed with the invitation.
- Eunice spotted it and immediately grabbed her phone.
- She posted a photo on Instagram, nudging her fans and making a fuss: “My manager and I have zero look‑ups on this ad. The company didn’t ask permission.”
- The ad got taken down promptly, with a formal apology from Circles.Life: “We never intended to make Ms Eunice feel uncomfortable.”
- Yet the damage was done—madness followed, and Eunice felt it was a low blow.
Why Eunice Is Upset
She poured her heart online, calling the ad sexist, derogatory, downright cheap. She wasn’t just upset about misusing her name. She raised a deeper point: advertising wields power—whether it lifts women or keeps them in cages. The billboard, in her view, tipped far into the second category.
Her Bold Move
On Thursday evening, she posted another Instagram note. The words? “I’ve lodged a police report.” She urged her followers on how best to navigate this fiasco and asked for advice on what next steps to take. Her bravery shines brighter than the ad itself.
What’s Next?
- By filing a police report, Eunice gives the legal system a chance to investigate.
- She is determined to stand up against ads that misappropriate identities and smear sexism.
- The Straits Times has asked for more of her thoughts, offering a chance for the public to keep an eye on this unfolding story.
In short, Eunice Olsen took out the big guns—both the record‑breaking billboard and the police force—to tackle a misstep that might still have a ripple effect on future ad campaigns. Whether she’s victorious depends on the outcome, but she already demonstrated that standing up for dignity is worth the effort.
