Description
TW: drug use, overdosing and suicide
Has your favorite celebrity ever done something that shocked you? Like finding out Harry Styles does juice cleanses, or that Taylor Swift seemingly dyed her hair the colors of the bisexual flag for a music video. Maybe your fave did something that doesn’t sit right with you on a moral level, like Justin Bieber having dreads or Demi Lovato glorifying substance abuse.
These shocks or disappointments happen when a celebrity fails to meet our expectations of them. In this episode we explore the line between expectations and reality – between projected morals and real actions – and when it’s warranted to hold your idol accountable. Because at the end of the day accountability is more important than canceling so that we can all learn and grow from our mistakes.
You can learn more about parasocial relationships in our previous episode When Idolization Goes Too Far.
