When the pandemic happened though they faded into the background as we all tried to find a way to figure out how we would deal with the expected and unexpected consequences of COVID-19. Then they started posting online about their experiences and instead of the usual admiration and adoration they got from fans they were met with anger as everyone saw the economic and lifestyle divide of these figures and icons they once felt so close to.
