Are there any non-deviant celebrities?
It seems that every week another celebrity is being charged or convicted of sex crimes against men, women and children. I suspect it comes down to power corrupts, but I also think that people who get into show business especially, tend to have a predilection for being a bit off the norm.
But when it "comes out" in the media, almost without exception their behaviour was known both within the industry for years and there were signs of it publicly. And then, once it is public, every one comes out of the woodwork with a story to corroborate. But, where where they before? Why didn't they say anything and stop years and in some cases decades of abuse? It is disgusting behaviour, especially when there are minors involved.
I wonder at what stage it gets normalised in the entertainment industry (and likely politics) where perversion is acceptable. Perhaps it is because the famous have so many people clamouring for their attention, giving them stuff for free, wanting to be close, that they lose sight of reality. And then, they are all trying to build their career, keep getting booked, keep people happy, and have probably themselves been subjected to abuse to get to where they are. Like an abused child that becomes an abusive parent - they follow the model they have learned.
Conditioned to abuse and to turn a blind eye to abuse.
Any industry that creates an environment for this many predators, should be dismantled, right? How come we keep on celebrating celebrity, with an endless line wanting to join the ranks, when it is filled with so many deviants. It is quite incredible, isn't it? I guess people tell themselves that they will be different - much like the abused child tells themselves that when they are parents, they will be different. Well, statistics tell a different story, as up to 60% of abusers were abused as children.
Maybe the reason there are so many freaks in the pool of celebrities, is because they were exposed to a lot of freaks when they were up and coming. And unlike an abusive parent, celebrity often comes with being exposed to many potential abusers through casting auditions, managers, and a whole lot of people on sets in the background. All of them both potential abusers, and victims of abuse. Combine this with the desire and need for attention, the constant fawning and chasing, and the drugs, alcohol and parties...
It makes it a cesspool.
And what is interesting is, it is because of what is in the cesspool, that makes a lot of people interested in taking part. The money, the fame, and the attention. We live in a messed up world that celebrates disgusting behaviours from celebrities, business people, and politicians.
As long as we are entertained.
