Had a brutal Tuesday where every celeb story I saw was just PR spin

I spent last Tuesday scrolling through three different gossip sites and realized every single story about that one pop star's 'random' park outing was planted by her publicist. It hit me when I saw the same staged photos on five outlets with nearly identical headlines about her 'relaxed new vibe'. Am I the only one who gets annoyed once you start spotting the PR fingerprints on everything?

Wait, hold up. Are you telling me that pop star's whole "I'm just a normal girl eating a hot dog" thing was completely staged too? I saw that and thought it was actually cute, now I feel so dumb lmao. @felixm29 is totally right about the puppet strings thing, once you notice the angles and the "random" photographer being just a little too perfect, it ruins the whole fantasy. It's like finding out your favorite movie's special effects are all green screen, you can't unsee the cheap tricks. The PR teams are getting way too slick with the "candid" shots that somehow have perfect lighting and a conveniently placed brand logo. Gotta tip my hat to emma_rodriguez30 though, she's got the right idea with hunting down actual paparazzi captures instead.

Just unfollow the obvious PR accounts and look for actual pap shots instead.
