CIGARETTES STUFFED INTO A COUCH FROM CHINA


Listen Later

We’ve been seeing some pretty bad behaviour from so-called celebrities for some time now. But what drives reality television, sporting or other ‘stars’ to the kind of criminal activity that’s so often reported on?


It’s clear some of these ‘stars’ struggle to adapt to life when the cameras are off and their ‘celebrity’ starts to fade. So many of them go off the rails. But it’s deeply concerning since many modern stars find their fame and following on social media. Especially when we see young people taking to social media to share their own criminal activity – as we will in today’s fist story.


Stay tuned and find out what Heath and Rohan had to say about this, and their opinion on reality TV in general.
