Disadvantages Of Being A Celebrity by Nobody: 5:28pm On May 28, 2017
Five Major Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
1. Famous people can't do things that the average person can. What do you think would happen if wizkid walked down to the supermarket on a regular day? he would be mobbed and hounded for autographs and pictures. Celebrities and other famous people cannot lead lives of normal people. They may be forced to live in their own little secluded world, and will generally be unable to do things that the average Joe can. This disadvantage of being famous can stop celebrities from indulging in the little pleasures of life, which can be very frustrating indeed. Some of these simple pleasures of life include:
Playing ball at the neighborhood playground
Going shopping at the grocery store
Going for an uninterrupted walk or a bicycle ride on the beach
Lying on the beach without being mobbed on a sunny day
Sitting on the park bench and reading a book without being asked "Can I take a picture of you?"
Have a quiet dinner with family at the local restaurant
2. Being famous or a celebrity can attract stalkers. We've all heard about those nasty cases of celebrity stalking that have gone out of control. Famous people are often followed or harassed by phone, email, or mail by fans or followers who cross the line and become obsessed. Obsession can turn into threats and even physical harm.
3. A celebrity status can attract too many fake friends. From a celebrity's perspective, it'd become very hard to separate a genuine person who wants to be friends from many of the million wannabe friends who may want to befriend them for personal gain. As one would imagine, it'd be a nerve wracking experience to scrutinize each and every individual that comes into their lives. It would literally translate to being on-guard every single hour, minute and second of the day.
4. People constantly judge celebrities.
Tabloids, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and other forms of media constantly judge celebrities on their personalities, habits, bodies, and a lot more. Reading demeaning, rude, nasty, insulting, and derogatory lies about one's own self is a part and parcel of a celebrity's daily routine. From a layperson's point of view, it's like having a million people talk behind your back on a daily basis. Imagine how hard-hitting this would it be if a tabloid talked about how fat you are or how sleazy you are.
5. Celebrities have no privacy. If Kim Kardashian wears a bikini and steps out on the beaches of Miami to catch some sun, the entire world is going to know about it. If Feddytune heads out for a ride on his motorcycle on a sunny day, pictures of him are going to be splashed in the tabloids. If seyi shay and her beau have an argument or a fight in a nightclub, the whole world will know about it. Get the point? Lack of privacy is one of the biggest disadvantages
