No one really knows. Not you, not me, not the haters, not the Fan Club... And the more speculation goes on the further from the truth everyone gets.



They want to be left alone. Let's help them with that.

I would NEVER discuss other members or their various flavours of bigotry.

I can somewhat agree that they were a bit hard-line on the wanting to be left entirely alone if they still want to live a public life through their own work (and, it seems, they do) - choosing that as a career means accepting some degree of public comment.

That said, I don't think it should be a press free-for-all when it comes to celebrities and I don't think asking for the vitriolic press to lay off a bit is a huge ask. I would think it reasonable request from any high-profile individual. Public discourse is one thing but there should be tighter restrictions on the accuracy and tone of what's actually published, be that physical or digital.
