This quote demonstrates the sheer amount of sexualisation by the media of Anderson, to the extent that she was dehumanized. This links to the Vogue article which focuses on how James achieved Anderson's body.

Bell notes the harsh reality of the depiction of breaches of privacy to both herself and James, who have experienced excessive paparazzi attention and leaked personal information. The article demonstrates how women in the limelight are often treated by the media.

This article further advertises the look-alike competition, as well as the BC Lions Game itself. The article highlights the economic incentives that the competition offers: a one day modelling contract and the chance to feature in BC Lions merchandise. This demonstrates how BC Lions have cleverly used media convergence to bring the modelling/beauty industry and the sports industry together, using Anderson's 'star image' as a marketing strategy.

Anderson stated 'I decided to do this provocative style because there is so much competition for people's attention today, so Peta and I wanted to make sure the message couldn't be ignored'.

Depending on individual views, this article simultaneously heightens and criticises Anderson's 'star image'.

'Blonde hair was established as a hallmark of beauty and sexual attractiveness, as it was attributed to the goddess of love, and therefore became a signifier of these states' (Young, 2009).

Although not referring to Anderson, this concept is reflected in her star image.

She explores her choice for casting Anderson, explaining that when she watched Anderson's netflix documentary, she 'noticed a lot of similarities with her character, Shelly. (She) saw two women who were always optimistic, no matter what life threw at them' (Coppola, 2025). Anderson's persona in her documentary landed her the role in this film.

'When the show first opened, Anderson was a month shy of turning forty, and age at which many sex symbols begin to think about how best to transition into being a symbol of something else entirely' (Snow, 2023).

However, in 2021 and 2023 further articles were published re-telling the story, although there are some key differences.

Not only does it show the element of misinformation in news reporting, it also highlights how Anderson's star image has remained in tact through the scandal, so much so that there is still huge interest in uncovering the truth behind the theft.
