The irony about celebrities is that they can be like a moth to flame. Give them the right tools and incentives and they may set themselves on fire for entertainment. Often these are fragile people in connection to their character whom are most pulled in by pursuit of seeking validation. That could be why some act out in the house in the first place is to get to that attention. Still, it can still be a rude awakening, no matter how that person may seem.
So people with the worst habits go for these platforms often for the immediate returns it can offer in character judgements. I have had my share of those cruel encounters in my very early past just being young, and outside of safety concerns, I think we tend to give what is said online far too much weight (especially in smaller scales) as it is a distorted way of dissecting experiences in real time.
It's also too irresistable to people with a particular personality set that if they read one thing, they must read it all... very bad idea, especially as there are also addicted individuals on the other end that happily feed off the same feedback loop. That's why it won't stop as soon as it starts. We haven't done a a good job at identifying those people early enough on to catch it before the habits start forming. So we haven't adjusted yet. Instead, people often sit by and watch it all burn like cheap entertainment. Society still thinks this is perfectly normal.
Maybe it is a very wise move she stopped it before it could spiral, at least on her end. I'll have a different opinion maybe once I catch up on the show.
