If you were famous what skeletons in your closet would you be freaking out about right now?

I don't have skeletons, but I do have a crazy mom that suffers from delusions. So far, I've helped the government enforce population control along with my brothers, I've been possessed by a demonic presence more than once, as well as a myriad of other things less outlandish. That's what I fear. Because people that don't know her may end up believing something she says. So if I was famous, I'd likely be fearful of what comes out of her mouth when she's off her meds. Because, in a predicament such as that, one is pitted against having their career ruined by a mentally unstable mother, or having to out their mother and destroy any reputation or character she has for the sake of self-preservation.

I'm an ordinary person as it is, and I've had to cut her out of my life for the sake of my sanity. As a celebrity, I don't know how I would approach this situation. For celebrities sake, it all comes down to saving face and context, but with things like unknown mental illness, things can play out either mediocre, or become a festering emotional wound that would not only play out poorly in the public eye, but have crippling effects on a family for years.
