“Lights, Camera, Action!”

As someone who’s paid to be in the spotlight 24/7, you’d think that one personal slip up is national news the next minute. Celebrities are masters at hiding their personal lives and deep dark secrets, but this fall, countless stars have destroyed their reputations and lives by trusting the wrong people with the wrong information.

Divorce has always been a huge trend in Hollywood, but as become a raging epidemic this fall. In late September, singing sensation Ciara announced her divorcing superstar fiancee, Future, after he allegedly cheated. Rapper Future rumored to have an affair with his personal stylist, Tyrina Lee. Secret surfaced as one of Future’s “people” told her.

Other superstar rapper, Wiz Khalifa, was divorced by his supermodel wife of one year, Amber Rose. Initially, she expressed that the relationship was rocky and she felt it was better fit for a break up, but news later announced that Rose was have multiple affairs – including Nick Cannon and her personal driver. For fame, the driver leaked her information to the world.

“I think that it’s an invasion of privacy and it shows that not everyone is safe with their personal information,” junior Sara Deible said. “I think that anyone involved with leaking or sharing a celebrities personal pictures, should be charged.”

This month, highly-respected actress Gabrielle Union wasashmaed and furiated when a hacker cracked her iCloud account and leaked photos of adult content. Reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, also had risky photos link across the internet. She is angry with iPhone privacy security but new later shared that the photos were taken on a BlackBerry.

“I think it funny to see this stuff all over Twitter and other social sites but at the same time, it’s pretty grimy,” senior Aviad Gebrehiwot said. “I understand that their lives are meant to be shown to everyone, but I still think that they deserve a sense of privacy. Everyone goes through their personal struggles so it’s sad that we criticize the things that others might have done.”

With AHS having a history of privacy leaked on social media and through other students, we discuss the similarities between the high life and our lives.

Senior Aviad Gebrehiwot takes the situation light-heartedly.“

“I think the privacy issues AHS had has immensely improved since my freshmen and sophomore year,” Gebrehiwot said. “The most famous incident was ‘#Letsmakeitawkward’ which was honestly hilarious. I think the administration helped solve the problems we had but it was ultimately the student body learning their lesson.”

Other students, like junior Sara Deible, have a serious issue with the the privacy problems AHS has had.

“One of the privacy issued AHS has had was the trending on Twitter called ‘let’s make it awkward’ and I think that was really stupid and immature because everyone was putting information out there about their peers.”

With such a long history of privacy issues and hollywood dilemma ongoing right now, we ask students on their advice for maintaining privacy.

“A few advice I have for maintaining privacy is when you have information that is not worth someone seeing, keep it to yourself,” Deible said. “Also, you should think before you speak and/or act.””

“Just have one person you trust your secrets with and don’t have anything negative to say about anyone,”  Gebrehiwot said.
