attorney dui florida: When Die-Hard Fans Go Too Far

There’s a thin line between love and hate—especially, it seems, if you’re nominally a fan of any given musician, TV series, or celebrity. Yes, people have always done wild and sometimes dangerously violent things to express their big feelings about characters and celebrities; just ask Jodie Foster. But as Chris Murphy writes, several recent stories about bad fan behavior—diehards angrily targeting Noah Wyle because the doctor he plays on The Pitt is being mean to his coworkers; accusing Chappell Roan of hating children; and harassing so many girls in teenage actor Walker Scobell’s orbit that the Percy Jackson star has declared he can’t go to prom—make it seem as though things have gone too far. Can’t we all just get along, and leave our ire in the group chats where it belongs?

Elsewhere, Erin Vanderhoof reveals the cover of lifestyle creator Nara Smith’s new cookbook, while José Criales-Unzueta gets up close and personal with a pair of pop stars. More tomorrow!
