Many of us aspire to achieve fame and fortune, but few of us really consider the less glamorous things that go hand-in-hand with becoming a celebrity.
There are many things that can make being famous absolute hell; the grueling schedules, the non-stop criticism, and the fans. Now, many of us would believe that having a dedicated and loyal fanbase would be one of the greatest things life has to offer - but how many of us could really stand to be interrupted during our daily routines and have a stranger try to take a selfie with us as we shop around Walmart.
Former adult actress-turned-sports commentator-turned-social media personality recently hit an enviable 17 million followers on image-sharing site Instagram. However, instead of praising her loyal fans, she took a tongue-in-cheek approach and told them to "leave [her] the f**k alone".
Taking to Instagram to celebrate her milestone, Khalifa simultaneously thanked and slammed her fans in the image caption, writing:
"17 Million of you crazies [...] thank you so so soooo much!!! I love every single one of you, but please leave me the fuck alone if you see me at an airport before 9 AM. The encounter is guaranteed to be unpleasant."
Now, I'm sure some of us will read that caption and think, "Ah, she's just joking" - but it certainly sounds like there's a huge grain of truth in there.
What do you think of Khalifa's message to her fans? Is she right to ask for a little privacy or should she be thankful to all her fans at all times of the day, as they're the ones ensuring those paychecks are coming through the post?
