The video of Carly Reeves, which has now gone viral, has left many viewers stunned!
Tom Hanks might be one of the most famous actors of all time, but he is also well known for being a celeb who is calm and collected in real life.

Whether he is stopped by fans, appearing on a talk show or just going about his life, it seems like he is as friendly and kind as you would imagine him to be.
However, some of his family members have been known to cause quite a stir, like his son Chet Hanks, who has been involved in some strange and questionable online drama.

But now there is a Hanks family member who has dethroned Chet as the most embarrassing family member.
Carly Reeves, Tom Hanks' niece, recently appeared on a reality television show called, 'Claim To Fame', which is hosted by Kevin and Frankie Jonas of The Jonas Brothers fame.
On the show, 12 contestants who are all related to famous celebs in some way compete to figure out which celebrity is related to each contestant. The last one standing receives a prize of $100,000.

During the premiere of season 2, Carly was the first to be eliminated as the others figured out that she was related to Hanks.
As she leaves the set and the episode seemingly comes to an end, the contestants are shocked when they hear her start to yell about the clues that have been given which led to her elimination.
She then goes on to insult her fellow contestants before making a few other claims about how it's "unfair", while everyone else can hear her rant.
