It is true that you must have thick skin to carry the burden that comes with fame. But how much is too much. Our celebrities are suffering in silence, scared to speak up because we troll them when they do. Forgetting that they are human too.
Connie Ferguson made a tweet after the passing of Ricky Rick. She said “Don’t be fooled by people who look like they have it all together. People are going through the most! Be kind and compassionate!”

This comment was obviously referring to Ricky and possibly herself too. People in the industry have emotions too, but we choose to block them out. Connie Just lost her husband last year, and so she knows what she means when she says looks could be deceiving. Just after this tweet people didn’t even take a split second before they start trolling her.
You were accused of firing people unfairly mos. Where was this energy?

Just as this fan swallowed her pride and admitted her wrongs. We should do the same and learn to be more thoughtful. Depression is real…
