"Even if you don't read the tabloids, you can't escape her [...] for most sentient adults Bonaduce personifies the decadence of our cultural moment."
Here's what you might've heard about Dakota Bonaduce.
Theatrics. When Dakota was 16, she climbed up on a stage she was supposed act in before her part began. In front of the crowded theatre, she proceeded to rip apart a rosary and a bible, criticising the attendees' hypocrisy.
Forgeries. At 19, Dakota aided her social circle in forging a group of legal documents to allow them to take possession of a hotel by tricking its manager into thinking it had been bought out for the weekend.
Opulence. The owner of a brand credited for outfitting only the wealthiest of people personally made and delivered a dress to Dakota when she was 17. The dress was pictured as being heavy--a silvery tone, with diamonds and sapphires embedded onto its sleeves and bodice. Dakota wore it to a charity event. Allegedly, she spilled something onto it.
Persona. Before joining the RLP, the entire world knew Dakota Bonaduce to be a dumb and shallow individual. Her one public statement about joining the RLP was: "I thought it'd be fun to write fancy papers and yell in a courtroom!"
Musings. Having modelled for artists and later on, photographers, since very young, Dakota's likeness can be found in a multitude of places. Still, her prevalent contributions to a more modern artistic sphere are worth mentioning. There is...a lot of interesting art of Dakota. Most, but not all of it is attributed to her ex-fiancé, Arturo Isté.
Reputation. A poll conducted by the Associated Press concluded that she was the second-Worst Celebrity Role Model. Nearly two-thirds of the population (63%) felt very unsympathetic toward Bonaduce. The 19XX World Records named her the world's "most overrated celebrity."
