Keanu Reeves and his Existence

The article in The New York Times Style Magazine called “Keanu Reeves Is Doing a New Thing: Publishing Books” by Max Lakim was published on August 16, 2018, about a year and a half ago, about the same time that Alexandra Grant told her friend Jennifer Tilly that Keanu Reeves was her boyfriend and Tilly spilled the beans to pagesix.com in an article published last week that coincided with her reprisal of her role as Chucky’s bride.

The NYTimes article open with “The actor and his business partner, the visual artist Alexandra Grant, have created X Artists’ Books, an imprint full of esoteric titles.”

Honesty has been an issue at the heart of what appears to be a media circus since June 2019. Some fans have already concluded that the image of Keanu Reeves as a kind, honest, outstanding guy is nothing more than a mirage and Alexandra Grant is the pill that exposes his true colors. It is getting harder to believe that he is anything but a mirage and there is no outstanding man named Keanu Reeves.

The writer states that “Reeve’s extracurriculars feels more in sync with his persona” and further explains it is “rooted in artless sincerity.” What is SINCERE about a guy who didn’t clearly state he was opening a publishing company with his girlfriend? Unless he isn't her boyfriend, and the pagesix article is riddled with lies. Who is not being honest and why? A question that begs an answer.

Max Lakin premises his article on how “Hollywood is lousy with actors’ vanity projects and left-field dalliance. The verbiage in the article is to prove that Keanu isn’t one of them, but if you listen to how Grant explains why she decides to start a publishing company, it is nothing but a vanity project. A week after the article came out, Grant participated in #artwomanartweek and she was interviewed by her branding specialist friend Ginna Christensen on the topic of Art, Publishing and Philanthropy. As Grant explained, it was created to solve the issue of who would own the movie rights to the book she wrote in 2013 called the Artist’s Prison. Another language of narcissism and vanity is that she already believes her book deserves to be made into a movie. She also talks about how Reeves was working on a book with another author and other people she knows were also working on books and trying to get it published. She presents her idea of opening a publishing company as helping these other artists and authors but she sounds like someone who opens a company to publish her own book and her friends' books, again falling into the category of vanity.

Xartistsbooks does not accept submissions. To paraphrase Grant's explanation, it’s because you will get bad manuscripts from people who think they are geniuses and she does not want to waste her time reading them. I think she may have described herself and her own delusion of grandeur with that statement. The person who thinks she is a genius and her book will be made into a movie so she asked her famous rich friend (or boyfriend) to create a publishing company with her. I’m inclined to believe the media circus is to promote this publishing company. All those tabloid stories of her romance with Keanu has gotten her invited to various events to discuss relationship and lecture on language and image at Azusa Pacific University.

Let says it is a real relationship, that started a few years ago, per her pal Tilly and the article in pagesix, let’s look at why it is wrong, using it for promotion. The guy she is having sex with created a publishing company with her so she can publish her book and retain movie rights… Let's think on that and what feminism means to Alexandra Grant and what sexual favor means to Keanu Reeves.

Xartistsbooks has existed for than two years, it would be interesting to understand what impact it has on the publishing world or was it a waste of space and time and now to compensate for its dismal failure, we are bombarded with a fake romance, and the inconsistency from this so-called romance is making Keanu Reeves look like a douche because when he was on the Ellen Show in May 2019, he did not mention a “girlfriend” but he disclosed that he had a crush on his former co-star, Sandra Bullock. How disrespectful to his “girlfriend”. When he took his mom to the Oscar, his stylist Jeanne Yang dressed and styled his mom and she wore Cartier diamonds. Cartier sued Grant and they were locked in a legal battle for two years. It makes him a bad boyfriend for promoting the company that sued his “girlfriend”. Something doesn't add up and these lies are benefiting someone through media manipulations. Marfainvitational, an art event attended by billionaires is coming up in April 2020 and Grant is one of the artists featured in this event. Will the story of a romance that makes Keanu Reeves look like a horrible boyfriend perpetuated by Alexandra Grant and Jennifer Tilly ensure that Grant's name will continue to be in the press securing sales of her artwork at Marfainvitational? By not speaking out, is Keanu Reeves complicit, allowing arts to be bought not by its merit but through media manipulation and fake romance? If so, “the man too good for this world does not exist.”
