people don't make that cutoff and instead treat it like public concern.
People create this monster in their minds. You see, he became a cheater in their minds. He is not their hero anymore. He hurt his innocent wife and that’s whom people mostly connect with, whether it’s their concern or not. I’ve seen it so many times before. It usually has a huge psychological impact on people like Tiger Woods. Sometimes they even commit suicide or try to.
That's an interesting and good point.
For better or worse, celebrities can grow to kind of feed off of the love for them. And then if it suddenly turns (perhaps in a deliberate, coordinated way to create headlines), that can have a big psychological effect on them.
Yeah... People are funny.
In almost all instances like this one, the other party suddenly becomes the innocent victim.
Guess there's a reason many don't follow public perceptions (the smart ones don't ignore it either)
