Highly respected males: Famous people present a specific public image. It would be as disastrous for Dan Bilzerian’s career for people to find out that he was poor (or gay…) as it would be for Rihanna’s for people to find out that she was a good girl who had never gone bad. People enact their fantasies through celebrities, who typically have the required money or resources to make the fantasy seem true.

However, celebrity is mediated. Beyonce now represents sexual marriage, attentive motherhood, and empowered yet effortlessly beautiful femininity (a triply heavy burden to carry, if ever one there was…), but she also photoshops her Instagram pictures and allegedly doesn’t write her own songs. These aren’t necessarily amoral actions, but if the masses found out, it would undermine her brand.
But people probably won’t find out. Stories have been written about it by people who relish in the slightest hypocrisy, but Beyonce practices what she preaches enough to suck these stories of their popular mass appeal. However, once in a while, a story will leak with hard facts that prove a celebrity hasn’t been performing what they bellow from the pulpit, and then people think it’s tastier than a crunchy apple.
If you’re curious, read on, and find out the 10 most glaring instances of celebrity hypocrisy.
10. Lance Armstrong Does Steroids
For over ten years, yellow bracelet wearer Lance Armstrong denied doing steroids. It seemed dubious, seeing as he had had a testectomy for cancer then had come back to the Four de France in ‘99 for seven consecutive wins. Everyone adored the poetic justice that a one-balled thirty year old who didn’t do steroids could be decimating all the younger, plumper-packaged dope-fiends. But in June of 2012, the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) formally charged Armstrong with taking performance-enhancing drugs. In January of 2013, he confessed, ruining his reputation and falling from grace.
