Just watching the terribly sad Britney Spears documentary about how appallingly she was treated by the press and the wider world. So glad we’ve learned and moved on and treat people like Meghan Markle with more respect.

Every paparazzi should be made to have their privacy invaded. Do as they do unto you.
It is why I don’t necessarily agree with creative copyright because making money to sell salacious images or in private moments should be made unethical.

But technology has had the last laugh because now many celebrities issue their own images.
And people aren’t interested in the newspapers anymore as they get their fix following online.
Now all celebrities do is promote their own stories & narrative. Good for them! 🤣

For all the toxicity of social media, it must be said that, yes, you’re right, we are afforded more agency in our own narratives than ever before. Which is undeniably helpful.

Probably mostly decent and normal. But if a pic of a star losing their shit sells for a million $... that’s a big incentive for otherwise decent people to do it anyway. The problem is our collective, societal thirst for these pics/clickbait “articles”. Dunno what the answer is.

I haven’t seen it yet but have you watched the Amy film? The way the press treated Amy Winehouse was abhorrent and I thought things might have changed, if anything it’s got worse.

Hi
@RalphLittle
just wanted to say, I’ve never watched Death in Paradise before, and I’ve like the three actors that were the in it, but i just didn’t fancy it. Then I heard you talk about it on Graham Norton and I thought I’d give it a go, and I am glad I did you are very good!!

Even the guy who said I could see she wasn't is a good place and just stood at her car window and said I'm going to ask you a few questions ffs why didn't he just leave her alone if he could see she wasn't well ? Disgrace

Well Harry had the audacity to marry a woman who is a) American and b) mixed race and certain sections of our press don’t approve of either of those things. And Meghan had the audacity to be a) American and b) mixed race so she apparently deserves it. 🤷🏻♂️

What's sad is that people just gobble it up, wait for the next day's paper to see what bad decision follows, and never consider the situation(s) they're trying to cope with--or escape. Drew Barrymore, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Whitney Houston, Miley Cyrus, Meghan Markle. . .

Now I’m “forced” to watch that drivel to find out why a rich, young celebrity isn’t responsible for their own actions.
