Never meet your heroes.
I really feel that people really puts too much reverence into the words and actions of celebrities, and are disappointed when they are not the person who they appeared to be.
But, if you take a step back and actually think about it, you see these people on your screen every day, do you know who these people really are? Most of you have never met these people before in your life!
The person see on your screen in image and text form is not the actual person, but projections of the person behind the screen (a character, if you will). That's what social media is, and that's what all media are, you present your character to to the rest of the world and tries to sell the life of that character you made up. Of course, when the projection of the character in front of screen doesn't match up with the person behind the character (Ellen, Cordon, Brand, now Kari Byron, etc.), of course you would feel cheated.
Maybe that's why I'm here. I don't want anything out of you other than to laugh at my shitty jokes, and I don't really have anything to sell you other than some dumb movies. It's rare to find that these days, and that's really all there is to it.
After all, you are who you choose to be, so, I try to be someone better, someone you know that you can be proud of, and if you are still reading this, I do expect you to do your best, so I can be proud of you too.
I do love that your username is a celebrity.
No, like all real celebrities on other social media platforms, I, actual Hollywood superstar Margot Robbie, also use my real name to promote my movies on this obscure technology forum.
After all, why would a celebrity ever lie to you about who they are?
Plot twist, it's her mom's account.
