Personal life is smearing yourself with organic peanut butter while getting pegged by your personal chef.
Assault, child molestation, drinking&driving;... anything that breaks the law is public domain.
Leaking pictures of her injuries is more of a gray area - total invasion of privacy (and illegal, I think?), but not sure the incident would have had the same impact had it not come with context.
So weird that a womanchild in need of care and saving is considered sexy....more so than a capable and strong equal (like Beyonce if we're talking public figures)?
I guess it's the age/maturity thing to a degree.

It's never sexy, and it comes across as sad and pathetic when you're talking about an adult with money & opportunities.

a) that women in need are more attractive than more capable/strong women sounds like the medieval notion of the 'damsel in distress'; so maybe in addition to the age difference, it's that many people are still socialized into male-dominant gender roles.
b) i wouldn't assume that all adults with money and opportunities have the same experience. there's a well-documented pattern of evidence to suggest that "making it" in this world doesn't always translate into equal outcomes for women of colour.
(actually, forget that she's a black women for a second; why do we expect that rich women won't be subject to the same emotional/circumstantial "cycle of abuse" that other women are? i'm not a woman, so i cram to understand.)
i don't like the feeling that an abused women is turning her misfortune into an ad campaign; but she's probably dealing with enough demons as it is (even if she doesn't show you those demons in public... remember: she's a professional entertainer!)... and it feels kind of like re-victimizing her to heap so much scorn on her.
this is really complex stuff to respond to; no question. but i'm more comfortable with taking this as a lesson in how sad a state of affairs the entertainment industry is in for this to be a viable marketing strategy (a la that article that doc posted - thanks!)... oh look: she just got her 12th #1 on Billboards Hot 100 today!

I re-read my post and you are right.
That midget would need to stand on his tippy toes to connect with my face with his noodled-armed ass.
