Good point.

And this article is another example how it is using her fall.

nod I agree! They're just exploiting her to sell their stupid magazines.


I also feel that they (media in general as well) contributed to her situation. I mean, to have your most private/embarrassing moments broadcast might be very humiliating. And I wonder what effect that can have on a person, it's not like a few people know, but the whole world knows all the details about your life. I just about die when people see me in an embarrassing situation.

Exactly, I haven´t read the article yet, but the media are sick. And that black and white portrait of her in the cover. Look into her eyes, there´s everything.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

This is exactly what I was thinking and now here they go and do it again on her way down.

It would be nice to get the perspective of the media's roll in her break down, let's use RS as a starter. If it didn't sell magazines/television ads they wouldn't be stalking this average talent.

I remember this cover and thinking, how old is this girl?
