Jennifer Aniston, FTW

15 Jul

The idea that because someone is in the public eye does not make them yours, they are still people – NOT property, they are humans. Is empathy extinct? 
Jennifer Aniston’s Huffington Post essay is eloquent, blunt, and necessary but at the same time, alarming & infuriating. As a society, do we really need to push people to this point? The tabloiods, “journalists,” social media (AKA: platform to be a outspoken dickwad and act in a way you would never have the balls to do in person) forced her to this point. Why does anyone think this is any of your business? Can we put fame and being in the public eye aside for a second. Traditionally, pregnancy is something kept quiet until the mother feels safe enough to discuss it. Let’s say she was pregnant, who do you think you are to speculate it & congratulate her? That is pushing the limits of some real personal boundaries. If that was your friend, sister, daughter, aunt, anything you would never tweet, comment, post or “report” on that. It is none of your business. Whatever the issue, pregnancy, relationship status, weight, employment…mind your business, if they want to let you, the public, know something THEY will…don’t get your panties in a twist worrying about it. Donald Trump is running for President of the United States, The US of A and you are worried about Jennifer Aniston’s midsection? Let’s focus out efforts on real problems, okay? Imagine what we could d if we put this much effort into real world issues?
