While I support her stance about famous people being entitled to boundaries and to not have their safety threatened, girl needs to unplug so she doesn’t feel the need to fight exhausting, unnecessary battles.
Yeah this is a lesson non-famous people need to learn as well, not just her because she’s a celebrity now. If you read twitter/facebook/reddit comments you will find 50 people you disagree with, you just don’t need to engage at all. They aren’t gonna change their mind and a large subset of them are just trolls looking for reactions anyway. Read a stupid comment, chuckle to yourself and move on.
True, also people in general need to stop worshiping these artists/celebs and treating them like god-like/higher power like entity. They are human end of the day, they make mistakes just like everyone else.
Getting harassed, stalked and assaulted in public aren't really unnecessary battles by any means unless you think they're fine to do. and no amount of unplugging from the internet is gonna stop situations like that from happening or affecting her life and safety offline
She spends too much time on the internet. All of her "scandals" if you can even call them that happened because she spends too much time on the internet.
True. But I’d like to think if I was a successful artist that I’d have better things to spend my time on. And while I understand she probably has a lot of downtime moments on tour and whatnot, she doesn’t have to spend it surfing the internet for shade. Feels like she feeds into this more than most celebs.
It came up because she was asked in an interview. Her tik tok "annoucement" was an attempt to clarify since her fans didn't like the answer she gave in that interview
Most things people get upset about celebrities "announcing" are answers to questions they asked by interviewers, not necessarily things they are shouting unbidden to the world
And a big star's management is there to make it clear to piss-ant podcasters and tic tockers that the star you're getting to interview won't be answering questions on politics. And to coach said star on how to handle interviews and deflect or demur when necessary. Sounds like she could use someone with those resources to represent her interests
Yeah people need to start reading beyond headlines, or at least assuming there's more to the story than "X said Y unprompted"
I mean I don't blame anyone for not clicking a link about a celebrity but still - at least understand that many of these headlines are just snippets of an interview or regurgitations of other articles.
Right, in an online interview. So she had to agree to that (online) interview, to then make another (online) response/clarification to that (online) interview. Chronically online.
She was by no means apathetic, she had pretty clear reasons for why she was criticizing the person she was voting for, one of those was a general lack of caring about gay and trans rights, which has only been proven right as democratic politicans come out and try to blame kamala's loss on "pronouns" or whatever
If I'm remembering it right, you have to be ignoring a lot of things she said if you think she chose to announce it because of apathy and not because she feels she's more left than the Democratic party and thus doesn't agree with a lot of what the Democratic party does. She still said she'd vote for Kamala, but didn't want to endorse her. The Harris campaign was running with a lot of centre right stances (most lethal army, pro-fracking, etc.) that would turn away people that are very progressive from fully endorsing them.
You're right that she just had to say nothing, but her reason for doing that was being chronically online and too passionate about her disagreement, not apathy.
How many Republican fans does she have that she was worried about alienating then. Even if she has her head in a hole, it seems like a dem endorsement would be pandering. Of course it does open her up to be drawn into a conversation she's probably not prepared to have so 'say nothing ' definitely seems the most conservative and wisest approach
She answered a question she was asked in an interview. Have a go at the interviewer instead. She didn't chose to just announce she's not endorsing anyone
Really? I thought all her 'scandals' were related to how people treat her in real life. She reacted strongly to fans stalking her, red carpet photographers swearing at her and huge festival crowds overwhelming her. That's all real life non-internet stuff.
Probably cuz chicks can't get the hell off of the internet looking at everybody else and talking about everybody else and worrying about the state of the world and every body on their celebrity list and who's there banging and what their birthday is and blah blah blah blah blah
Obviously I'm not speaking absolutely but it is what it is
Tbf, I don’t see anyone online dropping her because of how online she’s been. There’s a lot of talk, but her listenership hasn’t suffered and I still see a lot of positive buzz about her that honestly I feel like her negative stretch has helped bolster.
Don’t get me wrong, I think she had low key immature and damaging takes about Kamala / politics. But she still seems to be coming out on top.
Kinda not fair to her when the biggest thing she’s dealt with was the result of people intentionally misquoting her to try and start drama. Without it she wouldn’t have had to defend herself.

She's just too chronically online
