I've read some of the weirdest comments on the topic, ranging from funny to nasty, to gratuitously mean and just shameful, to outraged. People are actually outraged that Renee did something, whatever it was, to her face and that she now looks different.I think we build our celebrity idols up so we can bring them down at the slightest misstep. The higher the climb, the steeper the fall, which we make sure we provoke the more spectacular the scandal. Our celebrity culture is a well-oiled machine that uses scandal and controversy for fuel, and it needs plenty of both to function.By bringing our idols crashing down, we both humanize them and get to feel special about ourselves, the selves who have to work from 9 to 5, who don't get to wear designer gowns on red carpets, who don't get to travel the world and enjoy life at its best.At first, this was something that the media encouraged, but we have been trained to do this on our own. Those angry tweets in response to Renee's new face are proof of that. In all this outrage, we forget that, if she had something done, she did it because we had already set up too high expectations to her, by refusing her the right to grow old gracefully in an industry where only the young and the skinny succeed most of the time.I also think that our celebrity culture is the best way to escape from our everyday reality, and hence this hateful reaction to Renee. By caring about her appearance, we won't have to worry about our own problems, if only for a while.What buy fifa coins right do we have to shame or criticize her in any way? We probably shouldn't care at all, or at the very least, not to the point where we go raging on Twitter, posting profanity-laden messages and making such vile comments that we'd probably go into self-imposed isolation for a month if they were ever directed at us. To be clear, when I say we, I mean those people who did this.At the end of the day, Renee's body is her body, and she can do whatever she damn pleases with it, even if that means walking into an event and not having people recognize her. If she chose to give in to pressure, it was her choice to do so. If she had surgery because she thought she'd love herself more, it was her choice.We can't stop from caring and / or paying attention to these things, I know this, but we should at least respect our idols and not trash them when they do something we don't like or approve of. We may own them through their work and the public behavior that's expected of them, but we don't own their bodies.And we should never say something about someone('s appearance) without first thinking how we'd feel if those words came back at us one day.
