I'm sure it doesn't come as a shock to anyone that people are continuing to put celebrities and public figures on a pedestal. But why? When we do this, we are making it more and more impossible for them to show any flaws or make any mistakes so that when they finally do (because everyone does... duh) we attack them relentlessly for it. If they don't say something cookie-cutter, then it's immediately controversial. The pressure we put on our idols has gotten way out of control and in this week's episode, we bring this topic to light. We live our lives anonymously commenting on celebrities and what they choose to share but, at the same time, seem to forget that they are human beings just like the rest of us. To put it simply, celebrities and public figures are still real people with real feelings and we need to recognize that.
