EP 164: PRICE OF FAME
Manage episode 424463586 series 3517536
“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” was once a title of a television show that predated the likes of MTV Cribs, Sweet16, and other entertainment platforms showcasing the lifestyle and material possessions of those in the music, TV, sports and cinema industry. Present day, these same displays are found across social media platforms from the likes of blog pages like Shaderoom, Baller Alert, Hollywood Unlocked, and Neighborhood Talk, to name a few. But what, or who, lies between the iterations of these two eras of media outlets is the one and only Wendy Williams. Fan or not, no one can deny the impact Wendy had on pop culture and the explosion of gossip culture. But what happens when real life hits and the person reporting on others’ lives becomes the headlines?
After years of radio hosting, Ms. “How You Doin’?” transitioned into daytime TV host for 14 years. Due to personal issues including failed health and reported alcoholism, Wendy was forced into retirement to attempt to regain herself. Considering the stories broken by the former shock jock, many feel apathetic to any issues Wendy may be facing. Can you blame them?
As humans, you’d like to think our hearts would empathize with anyone going thru hardship, right? However far too many feel like empathy and sympathy is reserved for those who are perfect people. Does any of us fit that description?
We have a lot to say and may not completely agree with one another. But we can always agree to disagree. What about you?
