Celebrity culture always seems to be evolving in the weirdest directions. Sure, gossip and rumor mills and paparazzi photos have been around for as long as there has been an entertainment industry. But thanks to the Internet and social media, they have mutated into something weirder and a lot more invasive.
One prime example arrived this past weekend, in a viral tweet about pop star Dua Lipa and her fiance, actor (and potential James Bond hopeful) Callum Turner. The tweet from @kissmetryto garnered millions of impressions, arguing that they “have never seen someone lose the goodwill of a fanbase” as quickly as Callum and Lipa have. You would think that that kind of statement would be attached to a major altercation with paparazzi or fans, but the reality is a lot more inocuous. It was responding to… a seven-second-long video clip of the two of them leaving a restaurant in Mexico, quietly walking past a small handful of fans assembled at the front entrance.
