Why do people give praise to celebrities still after the bad things they have done come to light? I’m thinking, Eddie Murphy praying on street children, Caitlyn Jenner who killed someone with their vehicle, CHRIS BROWN LIKE WTF. I don’t get it. The list goes on, and on.

Personally, this is exactly what I do. If I find that a person are truly horrible in my opinion, I no longer spend money on them. I won't see their movies, purchase their music, etc. I don't want any of my money to go into their pocket. Somebody above mentioned Roman Polanski. He is actually the first person that I did this with. He is a genius at making movies, but he's a child rapist and I will never knowingly support him in anyway.

Another one is Zach Galifianakis. I'll actually probably get shit for this one, but idc. Mel Gibson was supposed to be in one of the Hangover movies, but Zach refused to let him be in it after his anti-semite tirade against a police officer. Ok, that's justifiable. But Mike Tyson was in it. So apparently yelling names are a no go, but raping women is A-OK.

TL;DR If I don't think you're a good person, I'm going to avoid giving you my money as much as I can.
