Why do we look past Reckless behavior ?

     We all know about the Justin Bieber and Chris Brown incidents. Justin Bieber from being a young innocent boy just trying to pursue his career in being a singer to defacing property with graffiti and being rude to fans and not to mention being arrested for a DUI and assaulting a Toronto limo driver. Chris Brown with his fight with Rihanna where he did the most, punching her continuously. All celebrities have these moments in their lives where being famous and all the money they have gets to their head, making it seem to them that they are allowed to do whatever they want. 

      Even though celebrities go against the law, fans are still able to overlook their favourite celebrities misbehavior. In my opinion the reason why fans still support their favourite celebrities because they have faith in them, they believe that that this is just a phase. Fans do not neglect their favourite celebrities because just because of their work. If it was a music artist the fans will know that the social media will make it seem like the artist is a bad person, the media will trash the artist saying things that are negative. While the fans pay more attention to the things where the artist does to help people in the world, all the positivity they spread. Some fans don't care about how the artist acts on their own time but only care about the music they produce.

        In my opinion I believe that if celebrities mess up and go against the law, the same way a normal person does they should receive the same amount of consequences. Just because celebrities are famous and have a lot of money I don't think it is right for them to receive "special" treatment ex if a normal person were to drink and drive they would be fined and receive a night in jail. Celebrites on the other hand will go off with a "warning" or possibly a couple mins at jail to "clear" things up.

       When people who have jobs that don't make them famous get into difficult situations. These people go through the lecture of their boss of how reckless their actions were and usually at the end they either get a strike or they get a warning. While celebrities get more public attention making them more famous. This helping them get more opportunities to do interviews and more labels. I think that our celebrity culture elevated to the point where celebrities are above the law and their actions void of consequences because in our society the more the drama the more relevant you are.
