    Lots of people do just that. We’re only hearing about this because he’s a celebrity. Shitbag normal people rarely make the news.

      Gaining power has been shown to turn you into a shitbag, neurologically.

      It’s not just that we hear about the famous or rich ones, it’s not that drive to attain power is more common among assholes.

      As you attain wealth, status or fame your brain begins to look more and more like the brain of a clinically diagnosed psychopath.

      “Power Corrupts” is not a social tendency or a moral failing, it’s the biological reality.

      I am referring only to celebrities in my comment.

      My point is that if you are under enhanced scrutiny, you best not create things for people to look at.
