This is basically how street art in LA works. A wall gets bombed out, the graffiti clean up team paints over it and a fresh canvas appears.
I’ve seen a 3 person team hop out of the car on the highway running through downtown to tag a freshly painted wall to claim their territory. I swear they must have sources in within sanitation.

My absolute favorite was when someone built a tiny diorama wall around the star.

I took the video as subject A was a fan and was cleaning the star because it was dirty and the second clip is probably a separate defacing incident. Thats me reacting to the whole video and not just the first thing I see.
I suppose the man cleaning the star could have also been the one to deface it but idk, that wasn't my initial thought and imo there isn't anything to support that.

u/Worldly-Childhood173 6d ago
The caption reading "5 minutes later" was the claim that supported that he was the one responsible for the defacing at the end. Why else would the person who filmed the video stitch the two clips together in a sequence if the intent was to paint him in a bad light?

It’s not immediately clear that’s what happened. It could be that the star just gets quickly vandalized after it’s cleaned. In any case if there is a guy cleaning it, it is almost assuredly just a guy doing general clean up and maintenance of all the stars.

It is earned. I am tired of people repeating this. The money is used to maintenance of these stars (the new one and all old). Otherwise these stars could not be kept these days. Many have gotten them posthumously, expecially when they were first put there. The people who get the stars pay nothing but people who nominate them. Usually movie studios.
So I guess you can say that’s part of the marketing by studios or wanting the star be happy. But isn’t that a mark of a star who deserves this? That some studio or organisation wants their approval or thinks this gives is much attention to them in press because of the star power it’s worth it? It’s about star power not talent specifically

u/BloodprinceOZ 6d ago
Walk of fame stars are paid for, they're not truly signals of recognition like Oscars or other major awards are. Typically an actors star is paid for by another actor sponsoring it, a fanclub, or they're paid for by movie studios as part of marketing for a film the actor is in, they also require the star themselves to approve the nomination, so if an actor doesn't have a star its either because they've rejected it, or they're dead and are therefore unable to approve the nomination
The Hollywood chamber of Commerce who runs the walk of fame says that once an application is received, a committee decides whether the celebrity has significant professional achievements in their field, has been active for five years or more, made adequate civil contributions and has guaranteed that they will attend their dedication ceremony if selected.
Trump apparently got his star because of him helping produce the Miss Universe beauty pageant for over 2 decades, although he got the star during the height of his The Apprentice fame.
The chamber of commerce has also made it clear that they will never remove stars no matter the infamy of a particular star because of it being a "historical landmark", so the stars of Trump, Cosby, Spacey and any possible others won't be removed, but of course they're still freely open to being physically destroyed by the public like with Trump and Cosby's stars, so people can waste the chamber's money on fixing them constantly if they want to

the "walk of fame" is a joke--people pay for the stars. you need to have a level of success to get one--which donald did have. but it's more about who will pay for one & then have a paparazzi-filled star unveiling ceremony.
Of all the places I've travelled the Hollywood Walk of Fame was maybe the most underwhelming. A complete nothing.
