“As most people know, Michael Phelps was recently caught smoking a bong. There are many opinions on this, but we think he needs to take responsibility for what he did and be more careful about his actions in the future. Sports figures and celebrities are idolized by many kids and adults a like, and whether these figures like it or not, they have to be careful about their public image.”

They can’t do whatever they like.

It is impossible for a person to have both stardom and freedom to do as they wish without the whole world knowing.

Sorry.

It just doesn’t work that way.

When a person becomes famous, they lose all personal privacy.

So, they shouldn’t be surprised when they do something wrong and the whole world knows it.

Especially, if what they are doing involves illegal substances.

Celebrities need to learn that.

If people don’t want to be monitored, don’t become celebrities.

There are too many celebrities out there that complain that they want to be left alone and have privacy.

If they want to be left alone they need to get out of the industry.

It’s as simple as that.
