The victim of her mother’s ego
The whole world admired her. Especially attracted by her beauty and naturalness. At the age of four, Eden Wood became the most famous and successful participant in beauty contests among children of her age. Two years later she won almost 300 contests.
However, few people know that another life was hidden behind this amazing success. This beautiful girl became a victim of her mother’s ego. She succumbed to her desires and sacrificed the psyche and health of the girl, which brought her millions of dollars.
The small star called Eden
Eden was born in 2005. From the moment of her birth, the girl was not only the object of her mother’s love, but also a means to increase her wealth. At least, that’s what those who knew this family thought. When Eden was only four months old, everyone noticed that she was extraordinarily beautiful. So her mom Mickie Wood had the idea that her daughter should become a small role model for the whole world. And the woman immediately got to work.
The little girl who just turned one year old got on a TV show for the first time. All the spectators were simply amazed by her beauty. It was clear in advance that the mother had put a lot of effort into creating an image for her child. She took her daughter to the solarium, tried on her hairstyle, makeup and clothes. This was done in order to create an image of a living doll in the viewer’s mind. Soon after her first appearance on television, her mother’s dream of an agreement that would bring a lot of money began to come true. Eden won all the contests and always entertained the audience.
Eden was beautiful, spontaneous and always calm. Journalists, cameramen and TV presenters adored her. The girl took part in the children’s show “Toddlers & Tiaras”, and then starred in the film “The Little Rascals Save the Day”, spending almost all her time doing photoshoots and filming. And despite her so young age, she stoically endured all the moments of public life. When she performed in front of the audience, she still shone and the little star pleased everyone. At that time, no one could imagine how hard it was for her.
The victim of her mother’s ego
Nevertheless, at the peak of Eden’s popularity, many warned her mother that her constant stay in tanning salons and kilograms of cosmetics could harm the baby’s health. However, the woman refused to listen to anything. She truly believed that no one knew better than her what was good and what was bad for her daughter. It seemed that the mother never cared about her daughter’s daily routine and Eden’s proper nutrition.
Eden went to various auditions and took part in various shows, so she had to sleep intermittently. And at the same time, she had to show bright energy in public. In such situations, energy drinks and a large amount of coffee are useful. By the way, these drinks were popular among mothers whose children participated in beauty contests. They were ready to make any sacrifice, just not to waste time until the children became adults and soon others came in their place. And Eden’s constant victories not only entertained her mother’s vanity, but also brought her substantial income.
Our heroine “protested” when she was six years old. She once and for all refused to participate in auditions and shows. After a brief quarrel between mother and daughter, Mickie Wood was forced to accept her child’s choice. After that, they occasionally appeared in public, but were no longer as popular as before.
In 2013, a book about the most popular small model was published. It was written by Eden Wood’s former agent, Heather Ryan, and immediately received a mixed reaction from readers. The author of the book expressed her opinion that the relationship between mother and daughter can never be called maternal care, but rather abuse of their own child.
She also accused Mickie Wood of ruining her daughter’s childhood and harming her health. The author wrote that she repeatedly saw how her mother cruelly and sometimes rudely treated the girl. Heather Ryan stated the following:
“Mickie was a liar, jealous, demanding and angry to the core. She put beauty contests above her daughter’s health. Eden only drank Red Bull and espresso, and her teeth were ruined by sugar consumption. But Mickie Wood didn’t have time to go to the doctor.”
The author also said that the girl constantly followed diets. This led to health problems for the girl, but her mother, according to Heather, did not bother at all. Eden exhausted herself with hours of training before the competition.
When this book was published, Mickie Wood came out with a rebuttal. She completely denied everything and said that she loved her daughter very much. She also claimed that all her actions were motivated by a great desire to make her child happy and successful. Mickie’s former agent was accused of lying.
From small victories to great glory.
Eden Wood is now 17 years old. There was a time in her life when she grew up as a very ordinary child, without photoshoots and contests. Now she does not dream of performing at beauty contests, but still, she sometimes likes to pose in front of photographers. All this without the previous fanaticism and she now does everything on her own.
Someday, perhaps, she will represent her country at an international beauty contest. In the meantime, Eden participates only in small beauty contests, making small steps towards her goal.
At school, Eden Wood studied very well and loved to take part in school amateur performances. She plays the drum, sings well. It also became known that Eden played one of the main roles in a youth series.
Eden Wood was able to erase from her memory the problems that took place in her childhood. As a teenager, she returned to her usual sphere.
