S06/E71: Fatal Distraction- The Rich, Famous & Disgusting

Hollywood and the world of entertainment, like Capitol Hill and politics, is weird.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Sean Combs, CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment, is in trouble as news of his shenanigans has come to light with the physical, mental and emotional abuse of his long time girlfriend Cassidy Ventura. He also treated his baby mother, Kim Porter, like garbage when she was alive. Coroner's death report states Kim Porter died of pneumonia but, her first autopsy read that she was poisoned and had chemicals in her system. So, which is it? The wealthy have a reputation of buying their way out of trouble. It happens often and should come as no surprise. 

This episode partially focus on Hollywood, the culture of celebrity and how it affects broader society as kids and adults look up and try to emulate these celebrities. Some of these "celebrities" are talentless clout chasers who whore themselves out for fame and fortune. Has that mentality seeped into America's pyschy and is it promoting the "Me Culture" of celebrity status or bust? Some people will do anything for fame even though they have zero talent. The Kardashians/Jenners readily come to mind when we speak about the talentless. We see it frequently on reality shows of all types and "social influencers" who are, for the most part, annoying entitled dotards.
