IF YOU’RE AN outspoken celebrity, you take the risk of being bashed even if you have have a legitimate cause to fight for. Haters will be haters and bashers will be bashers. so they always want to have the last say.
One narrow-minded hater said celebrities have no right to express their opinion, writing:
“Your only job is to entertain us. To take us away from reality. Your personal opinion means nothing to us. You are insignificant and influential only in your own mind. And within the mind of your elitist peers. You are a marionette to us. Nothing more. Sing. Act. Shut up.”
Bela Padilla, another open-minded and outspoken star, answered the basher: “May I respectfully remind you that the entertainers of this country pay insane amounts of taxes that contribute to the society you live in.”
Bela, of course, is absolutely right. Any citizen of this country has the right to voice out his opinion on matters of pressing concern.
When entertainers give us movies or shows that are purely escapist, certain sectors criticize them for giving us nothing but mindless, shallow, nonsensical entertainment.
Now, this idiotic basher says she wants our artists to only help her escape from reality. You certainly speak just for yourself, stupid basher!!!!
