Meet Carly Reeves, Tom Hanks' Niece Who Had A Meltdown On Claim To Fame

Carly Reeves made reality television history with her epic tantrum, but she’s not ashamed. The “Claim to Fame” contestant told USA Today that she was in a “complete fog” after being identified as Tom Hanks’ niece and explained, “I was really angry because I thought that my clues were just super easy. I felt like I didn’t get as easy a game as everyone else.” Still, she doesn’t feel remorseful about her behavior. “Honestly, I’m an emotional person, so I’m obviously going to react in a big way because that’s just how I am … But as far as being upset and sad, that was all real. So, I can’t regret it,” she declared.

Reeves doubled down on Instagram. “So I had a meltdown. Say what you want. I’m not spoiled or entitled or crazy I can just be a little expressive and vocal shall we say … I know it’s not a good look but I really wanted to play along with the rest of the cast. Hope I made you laugh at least!” she wrote. A fan replied, “This is so funny. She’s not even related to Tom Hanks by blood. Rita Wilson is her actual aunt, and yet her claim to fame is someone she’s related to by marriage.” Despite not being blood-related to Hanks, it’s still cool to be connected to the nicest guy in Hollywood, and they actually seem to have a close relationship.
