5 Biggest Reasons The Media Turn On Stars (With 5 Examples)
5. Adultery
While Adultery isnt something the news will necessarily turn on someone for, it all depends on who cheated on whom. If its someone who gets cheated on often, or is known for cheating, the media tends to brush it off. But if a long time couple and I use that phrase loosely, breaks up because of someone cheating, its huge news. The media will immediately choose a side, and then chaos will ensue. Despite the fact that its really none of our business whos dating whom or who cheats on whom, we, the audience crave to know what goes on behind closed doors. Should we? No, probably not. But it keeps US Weekly, People, as well as television networks like E! and websites like Perez Hilton in business. We keep coming back. Adultery is accused even when it may not have even occurred; a couple actually just broke up. You can bet that as soon as a couple breaks up, even if they claim its amicable, there will be rumours that someone cheated within hours. And well either feel bad for the person or be disgusted by the act.
Example: Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson
A few years ago, the couple was in bliss, planning to be married. Everyone was excited that Bella and Edward were going to be real. And then one day, it all came crashing down, faster than everyones Twilight phase. Kristen Stewart was reported to be cheating on Rob Pattinson with Rupert Sanders. How was I able to find this information so quickly despite the fact that it happened years ago? If you google Kristen Stewart, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson is the first thing that comes up in google. The most recent news article about the two? 10 hours ago. This is why Brad and Angelina were still on the cover of magazines for years. The tabloids find something and latch onto it and never let it go.
I'm currently attending my local college while trying to figure out who I am. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, really any BBC show. I've also been told I'm a bit of a nerd. Specifically, a theatre nerd.
