The Price of Fame: Navigating the Perils of Public Scrutiny in Celebrity Culture

The entertainment industry itself plays a role in this scrutiny, as it often capitalizes on controversy to generate buzz. Media outlets thrive on stories that provoke strong reactions, and the more scandalous the narrative, the more clicks it garners.
