    People don’t overly care about illegal activities unless it effects them personally.

      I mean sort of. But people lambast celebrities for when they commit sexual assault. Rightfully so I might add. Something that should be held accountable because it’s horrific. But then you have people giving them shit when they’re being “a diva” and shaving their head and clearly going through a mental breakdown and need help. If a celebrity like Lindsay Lohan gets caught stealing from a store she’s mocked and her career destroyed, I mean beyond what it already was. If someone like John Mulaney cheats on their wife their public image gets a massive hit. Yet the drugging and robbing people is perfectly fine?

      I genuinely don’t get it but it’s more than just “not affecting them personally”.
