Im lowkey confused who alex aster is and where she came from. I remember when lightlark was coming out and got a confirmed movie adaptation before the book was even out, now matel asked her to write the barbie novel. Is she a nepo baby

You are correct the controversy around her was essentially that she is theorized to be a nepo baby and/or industry plant. Very wealthy background and being successful despite having books that were noted as being really really bad

She’s 100% a nepo by all accounts I’ve seen. She’s also very narcissistic in my opinion

Oh besides being a nepo baby, she lied about most of her marketing for Lightlark. Like advertised quotes and scenes that weren’t in the book. So just kind of a mess I won’t go near
