[@dhenderson1810]

I remember the days where you actually earnt celebrity status. Like them or not, once, you were famous if you actually had talent, whether it be in music, acting, sport or hosting. But now, talent is not a pre-requisite and we are poorer for it.

[@jacqtheeripper]

I completely forgot about Snooki getting punched in the face. It is so sad and kinda messed up that the punch was aired, especially looking at this now as an adult. She’s like under 5 feet tall, didn’t touch the man, didn’t present a life or death threat and she got punched square in the face. I watched this show every Jers-day when it first came out and I feel like it wasn’t that big of a deal at the time. Ugh! What a POS punching her. Wtf was I watching when I was 14?!

Blame it on social media and reality shows. And yet, people are still getting famous through that mess. Learn to realize that most people want attention and will only be famous for a time being. Move on from these people and let them know that their 15 minutes of fame won't last forever. And on top of that, how are these people getting managers/agents/a team working for them? Do those people really think that their clients are going to be famous forever? I wouldn't want to manage/buy/work with anyone who's gotten famous through social media or a reality show. It doesn't last long.

It’s not a matter of “deserving” or “undeserving”. No one “deserves” to be famous. And being famous is not a privilege or a right based on the work you do. Anyone who has that as a goal in life needs to take a step back and assess. Take a real good look at yourself if you think you’ve made it in life because you’re “famous”. 🙄Most people that are “famous” get there by being narcissistic, shallow and self centered. They are gifted with underserving passes in life for no good reason just because they are “famous”. Example: Matthew Broderick killed 2 women and got away with it scott free. No jail time, no community service, nothing. Just 2 women dead because of his negligence and he gets a pass and is home free. That’s horseshit! Fuck the “famous”🤬
