Celebrities like Neymar are often used by those who aspire to become celebrities overnight.
“In the future, everyone will have their fifteen minutes of fame,” multi-artist Andy Warhol said some 40 years ago. We can say that the prophecy has come true: anyone who feels like a celebrity on their social networks.
Overexposure with instantaneous effect has also become a reality in the media. It can happen in a number of ways: participating in a reality show, making headlines for a historic achievement, or dating someone who has achieved stardom.
The latter type is common in the celebrity universe. Acts like a vulture circling carrion. At the best opportunity, he attacks and runs to show what (or who) he has grabbed.
Neymar has become a recurring victim of this profile. He has been exposed a few times after dating for casual sex. In one recent case, his infidelity was open. In the face of the indisputable, he admitted to cheating on his pregnant bride.
As bad as stabbing someone’s trust is to dig into fame at any cost. Exploiting a moment of intimacy with a famous person – without his consent, of course – to get press releases, ‘likes’, followers, those fifteen minutes of great visibility.
The fame hunter, or woman, can even taste the bittersweet taste of stepping out of anonymity at the tip of their tongue, but what usually follows is being shipped off into obscurity. Worse: with the opportunist label printed on the forehead.
Anyone who breaks ethics – and even the game of infidelity has its own – by trampling someone to get self-promotion can’t complain about the consequences. The fairest, public contempt.
It is appropriate here to adapt a phrase by the French memoirist François de La Rochefoucauld: “Fame must always be judged by the means used to obtain it”.
