That's obviously a totally different context but I will always stan Bjork for doing that. That reporter had followed her relentlessly for days and she snapped when the reporter said something to her son like "what's it like to have a pop star mom who doesn't listen to anyone." Bjork was fierce for that to be honest, and I'm not a fan of violence, but that story was so misconstrued. This reporter literally harassed and followed her and then asked her KID about her (talking **** about her). I'm sure bjork regretted it, but she was like totally justified imo. I think people also forget (me included, because I was young and didn't know about this until later) that bjork was one of the most famous people in the world (or at least the uk) at the time. So she was under enormous pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I think the word you might be looking for is entitlement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some people, and she probably would react differently, but that still doesn't make it okay or mean we should normalize this. So much of it is embedded in "celebrity" culture which I could talk for days about -- since it's about class and money and privilege and capitalism -- but I won't here. I will just say that it's not a cute look to do what that girl did. I mean she shouldn't be crucified for it either, she wasn't like egregiously wrong. But I think it's detrimental to us all when we perpetuate this culture of seeing celebs as "other" and then somehow treating them as less than human -- I think the issue goes both ways. I think the money gap is hugely problematic but that's another part of the issue. Sorry, I'm ramblin'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I feel that vibe. I have reasons for not being a Sam Smith fan (not a fan of the music or the way music is stolen with no credits nor of many things they have said), but this is not the thing to cancel them for. I can see through her whole thing tbh. It felt like she was literally excited when they/the group shunned her, like she knew she could make it about her being a victim. She did not react the way a real fan would react if they had really just been hurt by their favorite star. I doubt she even stanned Sam to begin with -- just was looking for a video. Sorry, maybe I'm cynical, but am I wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichAssPiss 4,110 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Artists don't owe anyone anything when they're living their private lives. Honestly. Leave them alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a lot of famous artists opened a debate about it. It's such a childish behaviour, but idk. I was mainly about not being to rude towards her. And giving her a bit of indulgence...

QUEENH 711 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Yeah she was a bit obnoxious chasing someone down like that with a camera but that friend is a douchebag and he should have serious words with him. He was quite aggressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know these few seconds. Yeah that's my take...tbh even this little bit is extreme but it's hard to believe they would pop off on her like that regardless...I suspect she might have been harassing them for longer than what the tik tok shows and then they lost it.
