I am sure many of you read the recaps from this weekend's GHFCW. Maybe even of you lucky soles out there got to attend. It sounded amazing and I wish I could have been part of it. I was like so other fans out there checking the recaps and looking at the photos. It sounded so much fun and was nice to hear the actors be people. We often forget how these people, while famous stars, are people too. It's nice to hear how they were honest with the crowd and let their hair down so to speak.
I too, like many others I am sure, follow Kelly Monaco, Steve Burton, Laura Wright and other GH stars on Twitter. I think it is amazing how you get to see how truly down to earth these stars are. Laura Wright for instance is probably one of the funnier people out there and very family oriented. However, sometimes people feel the need to attack these stars and forget their lives are none of our business. What the stars share in their interviews, public appearances and even on twitter is their personal lives and we should just be grateful to read about them. We need to realize these people have personal lives too. Much like many things in our own life, some things should remain private.
Recently on Wendy Williams and at the GHFCW event with Kelly Monaco she mentioned some things about her personal life and the struggles of this last year. I applaud her for her honesty and willingness to share details about her life. We have never seen that side of her much and it really allowed me personally to see her as a real person. But it's her personal life and if she is nice enough to open up no one should attack her on twitter, facebook or anywhere else. Seriously fans and non-fans alike out there need to respect themselves enough to not act so disgusting to another human being. If you aren't a fan, don't watch her or listen to what she has to say. If you are a fan, then be respectful. It's very simple. It is sad that there are people out there in this world who think just because they can hide behind a computer it is okay to use those social networking sites to attack people's lives or personal character. To those people who are clearly not fans, please just leave her alone.
Unfortunately, cyberspace allows for anonymity. Anonymity empowers people who are otherwise cowardly. I find it revolting that such tweets are even out there. How many of these people actually know any of the actors? My guess would be zero. They are frustrated fans who think that belittling someone else makes them look better. No better than a schoolyard bully. Mary
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more it's really sad how far some ppl go. Kelly seems to be a very strong person from when you read about her or hear her talk on a interview or at a fan event. So I doubt it bothers her too uch but she is a person and after a while that crap can wear you down. But she has support from family,friends co-workers and US THE FANS.
