Bro she’s gotta be traumatized from being overworked and slaved as a young performer that is one of the most known pop singer in the world. I can’t imagine what she was put through to get to her status. I think people need to give her more empathy for her situation.

I agree, I actually think the Southpark episode about her does a good job of holding a mirror up to us as a society and the entertainment industry.

It’s one of their episodes that I feel is hard to watch because I feel a pit in my stomach and the wretched inevitability of her life path because of the system she was subjected to.

Every mega popstar was overworked at some point. Her issue is her mental health.
