With all the drama that has happened in 2016, a lot of celebrities have been on the receiving end of insults and trolling from their fans. For a lot of “fans” that spit out negativity, the excuse has been that since these celebrities are in the public eye they should be able to take it.

She tweeted:

All these people who say that people in the public eye must learn to deal with everything thrown at them with grace . Easier said than done
