My theory is that most of the stars in the entertainment industry are created by the industry. If you don’t buy in to the politics, drugs, and depravity, you don’t get roles, gigs, airtime. If you do buy in, they make you a star, but they can always control you via blackmail and/or drugs. The public eats it up when someone is a rising star. They love it even more to watch them fall to the gutter. The industry makes sure the public always has plenty of both and they profit from it in both directions.
Your observation seems to also apply to politicians.
