Why do Celebrities Throw Tantrums on Social Media?




“Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you're crazy.” —Taylor Swift


After the COVID-19 pandemic, I have come across some celebrities making meaningless statements on social media to draw the attention of the people and show their presence felt. In this post, I will discuss celebrities and their gimmicks to build their brands rather than to add value to their communities and societies.

Some celebrities throw tantrums to get noticed. They have an obsession with media attention. They often speak rubbish to get fame for a few seconds. They play gimmicks to get noticed. At times, they attack the established and credible celebrities to draw their attention that they are also existing in this world. Why do they adopt such cheap publicity? It is because they have an identity crisis. They are neglected by the media and society. They crave to be remembered by the people. They want to remind others that they are also existing in this world. Unfortunately, such so-called celebrities are forgotten quickly. The real celebrities walk their talk, lead from the front, and make their presence felt with inspiring messages. They build communities and add value to their societies. They do charities and philanthropy to make a difference in the lives of others.

Social media is not a platform for kicking up controversies. A few publicity mongers treat social media as a steroid to kick up controversies. Unfortunately, their attention span is limited and is forgotten soon. Only the news that is credible lasts for a longer time on social media while the fake news fades away quickly.

Publicity mongers either underact or overact. They are part of the problem, not the solution. Their messages don’t carry any substance. They cannot fool people especially intellectuals who can identify and keep them away. At times, they sway the average and below-average individuals emotionally. In this world of social media, everything is thrown open with no scope for secrecy. People are intelligent enough to find out the truth and stay away from such mongers away.


Be Authentic

“Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance; regrets are illuminations come too late.” —Joseph Campbell

The values that credible celebrities maintain live longer in the world. They will be remembered even after their death. To conclude, avoid exaggerating, lead authentically, and participate actively in nonprofits to make a positive impact on society.


“Every moment is incredibly unique and fresh, and when we drop into the moment, as meditation allows us to do, we learn how to truly taste this tender and mysterious life that we share together.” —Pema Chodron
