Tom Hanks’ niece breaks down after getting eliminated from Claim to Fame
Tom Hank‘s niece Carly Reeves was part of Season 2 of Claim to Fame. She is the daughter of Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson’s sister. The 39-year-old like her family members, had a career in the Hollywood industry. She made her acting debut in Hilary Duff’s Raise Your Voice(2004). Reeves has also appeared in her uncle’s films Charlie Wilson’s War and Larry Crowne, among others.
The actress was eliminated from the reality show, and she had a full-blown meltdown on the set. While packing her bags, she shouted on camera saying, “I don’t deserve this! I should have more camera time! I should be here longer.”
The nepo baby was revealed to be Hank’s niece owing to a hint involving a park bench that alluded to the star’s 1994 film, Forrest Gump. She ran off the set in tears and screamed after being identified as the Castaway star’s niece.
While referring to another contestant from the show, the Raise Your Voice actress said,
“His frickin’ clues were so frickin’ obvious. Frickin’ Ben showed a frickin’ poster of frickin’ ‘Forrest Gump!’ Are you kidding me?”
Reeves made her departure even more surprising by calming she didn’t deserve to go home so early on in the season. She said, “No one expected that. No one!”
While Tom Hanks’ niece thought she deserved to be on the ABC show, her contestant disagreed with it.
