the shell that forms around mega famous people is obviously very toxic and isolating but you know, I also see why it forms. no one can possibly keep millions of people happy.
authenticity is dangerous and expensive but her art is authentic.
Really? All I’ve seen in recent posts are comments like yours defending her from hate I don’t see on here at all. Or did you mean in general online? In which case - yes. Absolutely. Over the top in every single way.
Everything I’ve learned from her has been against my will, but I will say, she talks like a little kid who just discovered curse words, especially with how much she says “bitch.”
And my brother summed it up in a text: “she looks like a mime but is never quiet.”
She just comes off like an annoying teenager but she’s an adult.
And this is the only time I’ve commented about her online.
there was definitely a lot more hate for her here on ONTD a week ago, but ONTD does what it does where it starts to do the opposite just to be petty lol
she needs a better team to set boundaries on her star life because she shouldn't have kept engaging with people who were A) not the audience for the message B) weren't ready to receive the message and C) were engaging in bad faith with the sole intention of bullying her. her team should've protected her from that. the reason celebs do that is for things like this.
that being said, i don't blame her. some of the comments i read about her on here had me recoil from the screen in their sheer vitriol and consternation. hope she remembers that it's par for the course and keeps fighting the good fight.
Tbh the model of just posting birthdays and shit to a website is hilarious and more celebs should do it. We need more one way communications channels, restore the fourth wall!
She has mentioned being bipolar and dealing with suicidal thoughts for years and she clearly hasn't been dealing well with everything that's happening, so if she says she's taking a mental health break, good for her.
I didn't know she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I did read that her depressive episode has been severe, that she has been going to therapy twice a week. That is so concerning, and her label/team sucks for milking the money and life out of her. No wonder she doesn't want to be that famous. She's just trying to get through.
She mentioned in the Rolling Stone feature she recently lost her therapist because her biggest object of focus now is her newfound fame and how to deal with that, and her therapist is the same one she had when she was still an unknown so they clearly couldn't continue treating her.
So she's already grieving the loss of whatever safe space and relationship she had with them, and now she has to find an entirely new person and establish that relationship and trust again in the midst of all this.

Sucks for the fans, but considering how open she has been about her mental struggles, I would hope they understand.
