It is!

Who the hell is that? One of the Hadids? Dua Lipa? Why post a secret about celebrity culture with a star no one knows?

[(Anonymous)]

Reverse GIS says it is, in fact, Bella Hadid

[(Anonymous)]

Apparently that's Bella Hadid, not that it really matters. More important to what the secret is saying are the people behind her without whom her walk down that red carpet would be meaningless. As it should be, really.

[(Anonymous)]

i don't get it, why is the celebrity in the picture important to you in a secret about how celebrity culture in general stinks? it's not about her

This was a comment secret and the OP didn't specify any particular person so I chose this image because it was a good red carpet shot that highlighted the kind of over the top attention celebrities get. Plus there was plenty of room for adding in the text. IMO, the actual level of fame of the person in the photo is not the point, if you stop and consider what celebrity culture is.

DA - Secret maker, I think your choice of image and celeb here was perfection. Especially as Bella Hadid is exactly the type of celeb I think of first when I think of "celebrity culture." I mean, I probably think of the Kardasian/Jenners first, but that choice might've been TOO obvious. Bella Hadid was perfect for this secret, IMO.

Re: Secret maker here

Thank you! I know the image choice won't always be right, or it won't please everyone all the time, but I try.

Yeah its certain gotten worse over the years. I use to think it was bad in the early 2000s with the gossip mills through paparazzi/magazines/etc - but social media and para-social relationships have certainly added another layer to it :S

[(Anonymous)]

I remember, from many years ago, about a supposed social experiment made in order to test how much a celebrity status depended on people THINKING they were famous. Something along the lines of researchers having someone walk in, alongside their legion of "fans" (both the "celebrity" and the "fans" knowing well what's going on), and then have people flock towards them just because they thought they were someone famous because OTHER people said they're famous.

I wish I had any source to that experiment as well as an explanation. If it is true, and if it can be replicated, then that would explain a disturbing whole lot about celebrity culture.

I'm old enough to remember when the media tried to make Paris Hilton a celebrity, and people just hated her immensely. So much that a news reporter placed said news into a paper shredder, and that people demanded her to be taken to jail for reckless driving under the influence AND on the opposite direction of the road.

However... that would explain a whole lot about celebrity culture. People being famous because some asshole with money says they're supposed to be famous.

[(Anonymous)]

She was a celebrity, though, and had her own TV shows and made a lot of money from endorsements/perfume/etc. Hated or not, she made $$$ from it (it obviously helps to start with a lot of money...) And she did, briefly, go to jail for her terrible driving.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

I was about to say, she definitely was a celebrity. I'm guessing she started off as a socialite aka comes from money hamgs out with other monied individuals that we the common folk have no clue about and then I guess she went for fame (a more public/mainstream? Fame)

It really is, in all it's toxic, invasive, damaging 'glory'.
