Anyone who’s been paying attention to Nashville lately could see the warning signs that Maddie Conrad that this teenager was jumping from ambitious to entitled in a few very short leaps. While fans may have seen this coming, her parents were blindsided. It brings up an interesting dilemma in parenting, especially when the parent in question is a celebrity. When you truly have the ability to give your child everything, what is the right amount to give them, or hold back?
Rayna and Deacon’s daughter has made no secret that she has wanted to pursue a solo career for some time now. There is no question she has the talent, but the fact that Maddie wants to emancipate from her parents in order to get what she wants speaks volumes to her maturity. If this matter had stayed between Maddie and her parents then perhaps sense would have prevailed, but unfortunately Maddie has grown dangerously close to someone who doesn’t have her best interest at heart. Cash, the daughter of Deacon’s business partner, is a talented songwriter who has been mentoring Maddie in how to develop her craft. Cash has no boundaries though, and she has encouraged Maddie to make reckless, inappropriate decisions which Maddie doesn’t realize she is not ready for. Deacon may not have reacted well to seeing his daughter singing in a club, but would any father if he saw his underage, under-dressed daughter singing in a bar in front of men twice her age? Cash gave Maddie the idea for a more permanent rift from her parents last week by telling Maddie the only way she could be in charge of her career was to emancipate herself from her parents. Let’s get real though, Cash’s motives are selfish, and we are finally going to get the answers as to why. In the clip below, Cash finally lets it slip the real reason she is “helping” Maddie. It’s up to Rayna to protect her daughter from herself, and from a person who is only looking out for herself.
