The people I feel sorry for are those with genuine mental health issues who live on their own, have no family or have been disowned and have nobody to turn to. I am not going to waste my energy caring about wealthy celebrities and footballers jumping on the latest #metoo bandwagon to satisfy their insatiable appetite for strokes to their egos, the kind of people who are every bit as much the attention seekers as the idiots they attract.
Nobody is putting a gun to the head of these celebs to be on public forums, or anybody else for that matter. I do not care either for those that seize the latest opportunity to polish their virtual halos by layering on the sympathy to prove what good kind thoughtful people they are. The whole charade sickens me, but as with everything else in this ball park, people will get bored of it and move on to the next event in the Victim Olympics whilst the genuine sufferers of this world continue to be neglected.
