Tom Hanks’ niece had the mother of all tantrums after being booted out of a reality show

ABC’s reality show, Claim to Fame, has just begun its second season – and it got off to a dramatic start.

How long can these celebrity relatives play the game of deception? 🔎 Stream the season premiere of #ClaimtoFame, hosted by @kevinjonas and @FrankieJonas, on Hulu! pic.twitter.com/nApgrKO0bj

In case you don’t know, the format is that 12 people with a celebrity family member have to work out the secret relative of their housemates to eliminate them, then the last nepo baby standing wins $100,000. Nice work, if you can get it.

i love that the entire premise of this show is "Nepo Babies play Big Brother" why didn't anyone think of this before #ClaimtoFame

The first person to be ejected from the competition was Carly Reeves, the niece of movie star and all-round good guy, Tom Hanks. She did not take it well.

Whether she forgot the mic was on, just got carried away with emotion, or simply wanted some extra publicity was anybody’s guess – but if it was that last one, mission accomplished.

I turned on ABC two minutes before #TheBachelorette and did not expect to see a grown ass woman SCREAMING and WEEPING about getting sent home on week 1 from #ClaimtoFame 😂 Tom Hanks, come get your kin.

Oh my God, this is the greatest television moment (relative to how low the stakes are, a competition for celebrity relatives) ever. https://t.co/cvqMl9uVk2

Watching Tom Hanks's niece throw a shit fit about not getting enough camera time after getting eliminated first in a reality show feels so fitting for the simulation that is 2023 pic.twitter.com/xCXhSA7bX4

I swear the Hanks picture is framed, revealed, and responded to as if it’s some documents confirming her complicity in war crimes https://t.co/Mtcs57n1tA

Birdfeed wasn’t spotting a family resemblance.

Ha ha! She obviously doesn’t have much of the nicest man in film’s personality. https://t.co/viX5b8JynT

Perhaps her uncle isn’t the only family member with Oscar-winning acting skills.
