Hulk Hogan's Terry Bolle Public Figure

Similarly both authors agree it 's not just finding one 's true self, it is finding oneself in society. Jenkins may comfort some by showing them how they could fit into American society, while Gabler reflects on the ones who are unique to society. Both, however, reflect on American individual values and how that represents us as a whole. Jenkins and Gabler split American culture up by categories: social class, morals and emotions. Both authors decided to use American individuals in their essays that are often in the spotlight or their narrative has become a spectacle for all other Americans to see. Wrestlers and celebrities alike live a similar lifestyle. WWF wrestlers fight in melodramatic, morally conflicting intense matches, and

How do we as a society play a part in the demise of an actor, athletes, and musical artist? We alienate them when they are a part of any scandal or scandals, companies drop them from their products, magazines, tabloids, and media outlets discuss the scandal non-stop, flooding us with the story non-stop. Whoever is a part of the scandal is often given meaningless interviews or book and movie deals. Any and everything the celebrity has done in the past, as well as the party of the alleged scandal is dredged up. This is often called “skeletons in the closet”. What they don’t want out is often exposed and even if it’s not true or a matter of privacy, we don’t care, all we want is the juicy info.

The celebrities in the media are typically portrayed as people we should look up to and let guide us. They use artifice to make themselves come across and trustworthy and generous, when in reality they are just the opposite. One serious problem has surfaced this year regarding the sexual harassment of actresses in Hollywood. Producers, directors, and other actors have been using artifice to keep their crimes a secret from the public. One of the most noteworthy examples is the accusations made against film executive and producer, Harvey Weinstein. Over eighty women have stepped forward to share their stories about his

Shortly after Hill began working with Thomas, he started making inappropriate comments and holding inappropriate conversations. He asked her out to a social event and she told him that she did not want to mix work and personal life.

Cosby also talked about his relationship with Beth Ferrier, one of the women who accused the actor of sexual harrasment. When Cosby was asked to describe his relationship with Ferrier, he said "We had sex and we had dinners and sex and rendezvous."

His lawyer, John Boudet says the film "manipulates, misstates or simply omits facts to present a false narrative" (Zarroli 1); in response CNN told the New York Times “CNN is proud to provide a platform for a film that has undeniably played a significant role in advancing the national conversation about sexual assault on college campuses.

This section of celebrities, for Gabler, have a story which the people are interested in and are willing to follow. It does not matter whether they are good or evil in their personal lives until they have something fascinating to share. Taking an example of O.J. Simpson , who was an athlete and then turned into an actor, is well known although he was involved in a murder because people are prone to follow those who have an thrilling journey, with ups and downs, without considering the character of the

Not only has the media created celebrity heroes they have made then seem untouchable. For example, Ray Lewis superstar linebacker of the champion ship team Baltimore Ravens. Lewis portrayed as a staunch, Christian, and an example for other to follow. This stands in contrast to the same person who was charged with homicide in 2000 after a club brawl in Atlanta left two men dead (Bisciotti,S 2013). The charges against Lewis were ultimately reduces as part of a plea deal. Families of the victims received over one million dollars in compensation from Lewis. Lewis has been a role model since this incident. It goes to prove that although everyone can change their lives, the label of hero, is too readily dished out to athletes and sports figures.

Performers, athletes, celebrities, government officials, teachers, and almost all individuals have one specific concept in common; almost every person has a separate private and public self. Celebrities often illustrate this concept. They are under constant pressure to uphold their public image and may tarnish their private self to keep their public status intact. In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare demonstrates through Brutus that people can be called to act differently in the eye of the public compared to how they might behave in private.

First of all, everyone deserves to have a personal life separate from their professional life, even those who work for the entertainment industry. In this digital era, it is not difficult to find information about famous people, no matter how private. Those in the spotlight suffer the humiliation and disgrace of having statements about them- true or untrue-broadcast for millions to find. Whether it likes it or not the public knows more about celebrities than many political issues. Secondly, sports athlete like Herchelle Gibbs career was destroyed by the media, constantly invading his personal life in result he lost his professional career as a national cricketer (sport24.com, 2010) and marriage downfall (Barker, P. 2009).
