I’d respect celebrities’ right to be politically outspoken, but I respect celebrities more who selectively speak out vs ones who speak out about any topic, especially ones in which they are ignorant. Even if I politically agree with a celebrity in spirit, it physically pains me to see them butcher their points over Twitter rants or whatever. One example: Debra Messing once flipping out at Susan Sarandon on Twitter just was…far too much
After seeing Khloe like an insta post about how Kris was the one who was determined to bring down Taylor Swift’s use of private jets to save Kylie (or whatever it was), I heavily rolled my eyes even though I’m historically a Khloe defender compared to the rest of the KarJenners. I’m also a longtime fan of Taylor’s music but also now super critical of her plane use, but Khloe liking that post indicated to me that they’re still bitter about the 2020 call being fully leaked and also don’t care about Kim’s and Kylie’s role as climate criminals (even though Kylie was not in the top 10, that doesn’t vindicate her). She failed to understand the assignment, and it was embarrassing even though nobody will remember it tomorrow.
Calvin Harris, while hot (sorry!!), was super petty to record with Rita Ora when they were dating and then deny her the ability to release any of the music after the broke up. I don’t even like her music, but that’s so petty it makes me feel bad for her since she has always hustled for more fame.
I love Rihanna, but her clap-backs against fans, rivals, and whoever else in the early to mid 2010s always rubbed me the wrong way. Nowadays as she’s matured, I feel like she would be intimidating AF to work for as a result. I still know I’d basically sign away my human rights if she were somehow my boss and I had the opportunity to make her happy to make sure this Rihanna reign never let up, though.
Whitney Houston professional achievements aren’t talked about enough. Not a complaint about her obviously, it just has annoyed me about general society. We hear sooo much about men musicians and their record-setting ways, but Whitney smashed so many records and still holds many (like most consecutive #1 singles), but people overwhelmingly discuss her controversies or downfall. She deserved better
