It can be hard to hear that you have actual problems, but it’s downright addicting to hear about other people’s problems. This is why I believe that celebrity scandal is the ultimate vehicle for deep inner work.

When we hot take about WHY Natalie Portman’s shoes are a sure sign of the end of a relationship, we aren’t expecting to realize that the erotic has been dead in our own relationship as well.

But we do.

When we hot take about Madonna’s alleged overdose, we aren’t expecting to reveal our own narrow mindedness regarding numbing pain, or codependency.

But we do.
