In defense of public figures who ‘ignore’ fans in their personal time | via scoutmagph
Many personalities experience being stalked almost every day—with stalkers going as far as leaking flight details, hotel information, and personal photos. Some even receive death threats through their personal phone numbers.
On Dec. 1, professional volleyball athletes Deanna Wong, Bea de Leon, and their teammates were spotted in Boracay for an off-season vacay. Since they’re pretty popular even outside the volleyball community, especially Deanna, many people watch their every move. That’s why it really didn’t come off as a surprise when a fan-taken video instantly went viral for showing how the players purportedly ignored the people who were happily greeting them from behind the camera.
“How can we go to church with these many people waiting outside our gate? Some of them even came from Mindanao and other parts of Visayas. Some were already here as early as six in the morning,” she wrote in Cebuano. Despite the obvious case of privacy invasion, the volleyball star still managed to accommodate them.
Taking these incidents into consideration, can we really blame the ladies for being guarded around fans? For once, we could drop the entitlement and see things from their point of view. They’ve already had a series of encounters where “fans” had disrespected their privacy.
Would you say yes? But what if more people recognize and mob you for photos and autographs? Not only would that disturb your “me time” but the unknowing passersby as well. Then again, declining their request would likely make them think you’re a snob; and the next thing you’d know, you’re already trending on social media with people attacking you for your “rude” attitude.
Just like any other regular job, being a public figure shouldn’t be a 24/7 job. Want to interact with your faves? There are appropriate avenues for that—fan meetings, livestreams, concerts, and mall shows, among others. So, if you randomly meet them in their downtime, it would be best not to intrude into their personal space. That’s common courtesy.
