Tom Hanks had a relative go on national TV and melt down in dramatic fashion — but the woman herself has no shame to her game … and she says her uncle doesn’t either.
We talked to Carly Reeves — Tom and Rita Wilson‘s niece — on “TMZ Live” Wednesday … this after her freak out for the ages was caught on camera and aired Monday on a new ABC show called “Claim to Fame,” which is all about finding who’s related to a celeb.
Unfortunately for her, Carly was found out in episode one … and when she got the boot, she didn’t take it particularly well — with her exit playing out in a full-blown temper tantrum.
You gotta see it for yourself … she’s cursing, hurling insults at fellow contestants and blasting showrunners for what she believes was a raw deal in exposing her connection to TH.
In the aftermath of this explosion of rage, Carly caught a lot of flak online — with many people calling her entitled, overly dramatic and a bit of a drama queen/crybaby … and some felt it, perhaps, even reflected poorly on Tom and Rita — who are the real stars here.
Welp, we asked Carly about all of that … and her response was essentially — I am what I am, and this was what it was. As she explains to us, her emotions here were raw and authentic … and she wasn’t hamming it up for the cameras.
