    Such a pointless thing to be upset about. Turns out some people like funny/mildly interesting stories. How shocking.

    Not every article ever written needs to be a Peabody contender. It’s ok to read something frivolous sometimes.

      You could argue that if we didn’t like mildly interesting or infuriating stories, we should not be in this community, hence could not read this post.

      It’s upsetting because it’s a representation of how Yellow Journalism, Tabloids, Paparazzi etc operate in the US. I have the least amount of compasssion ofr Americans, still find this intrusive and I can empathize how annoying it is.

        She literally told the story herself on a podcast. How is that “intrusive”?
