According to some
people
,
media
treat
celebrities
unfairly by invading their private
life
. Others opine that
this
privacy
invasion is the price these
people
have to pay for being famous. In my opinion, some
media
interest
in the private
life
of
celebrities
is certainly normal;
however
, too much intrusion should be discouraged.
Celebrities
themselves post their private
lives
on social
media
. Actually, many of them are desperate to be in the limelight all the time and do not really bother about exposing their private
life
. In my opinion,
such
people
have no real right to claim
privacy
. For famous
people
, being constantly in
news
is part of their job. If they stop getting
media
attention, it could even hurt their career prospects.
Hence
, many of them go out of their way to be in
news
. For
this
reason, it is common for them to flaunt new relationships or hairstyles every other week. For many
celebrities
being constantly in and out of relationships or experimenting with new looks is a great way to gather public attention. Since the general public has too much
interest
in the personal
lives
of
celebrities
,
media
cater to that need by giving celebrity
news
and gossip.
Hence
, the argument that
privacy
invasion is the price of fame certainly holds some water especially in the case of attention-hungry
celebrities
who just want to see their face plastered all over the visual and print
media
.
Even so,
celebrities
are
also
human beings and they have aspects of
life
they want to keep private. It is not fair for the
media
to write about things that
celebrities
themselves want to hide.
For example
, some of these famous
people
are into substance abuse and they may not want the
media
to dig into
such
details.
Likewise
, some are in relationships they do not want to flaunt. Some may be going through a painful breakup or depression. The
media
has no right to expose details that
celebrities
try too hard to hide. Every human being has a right to
privacy
.
Celebrities
are no different. While the public
interest
in their private
life
is understandable, it does not give the
media
the licence to post unsavoury details of their private
lives
.
In conclusion,
media
interest
in the private
lives
of famous
people
is understandable as celebrity
news
has a large number of followers. Even so, an excessive intrusion is not acceptable as
celebrities
are
also
humans and if there are aspects of
life
they want to keep private, the
media
has an obligation to respect it. Just because someone is famous does not mean that everything about them should be in the public domain.
