    I don’t have para social relationships with celebrities, I just really enjoy reading about their shenanigans and weirdness. They’re humans too, elevated on pedestals, and it’s interesting to see what humans do when they are so rich and famous.

    This whole David Grohl cheating scandal is delicious. People who elevated him to the position of “one of the good ones” (alongside Keanu and Pierce Brosnan, maybe Jack Black too), are losing their minds that he not only cheated, but now has a baby on the way with the other woman.

    People are taking bets on how old the other woman is, with the running theory she’s in her early-mid 20s.

    It’s just so entertaining to me. No one is so good, or will always be so good, not will they always remain bad. They’re humans trying to navigate having their lives out in the open, with every minute action critised or admonished.

    Anyway, I’m all here for the juicy drama. If I had to place a bet, I reckon the other woman is 25. David is 55, prime time for a midlife crisis and to try and wet his dick with someone younger.

      I am so glad I’m not under the microscope. I wouldn’t survive a day. I was military. I’ve been on the dole!! I have tragedies. I have estranged family who would sell me out for pennies and anger. Oh noes, Mr Seagoon was in the military!! Etc etc etc

      The press is totes into black and white thinking, everyone is either all good or all bad, there is no nuance.

      I think they build up the pedestals just so they can topple them.

      And all for ratings and sales.

      If David wants and needs company that’s his business.

        100% agree. It’s easy to judge people from a distance. Who knows what the reality is?

        No one is perfect. And to pretend otherwise is misguided at best. We are all people, capable of the most and least noble actions.

        Should we take a magnifying glass to anyone’s life, myself included, there would no doubt be plenty to deride them for.
