Celebrity gossip is something most people find intriguing, especially when it comes to relationships. Some Malaysian celebrities, like Heliza Helmi, Wani Hasrita, and Najwa Latif, have tied the knot this year, making it a memorable time for fans. However, amidst these celebrations, there has also been a wave of divorces among other celebrities.
Last month, Malaysians were shocked when popular actor and actress Fattah Amin and Fazura announced their divorce, despite being perceived as the perfect celebrity couple. Recently, Emma Maembong revealed that she had divorced her husband, Muhammad Shazli Azhar, after four years together. Actress Ira Kazar and Bella Astillah also separated from their partners earlier this year, adding to the trend of celebrity breakups.
A Twitter user, @AbudiAlsagoff, recently stirred controversy after posting a picture of a list of eight female celebrities who are now divorcees. The list included stars like Emma Maembong, Nora Danish, and Fazura, along with a caption that read, “The updated 2024 list of stars available to be wed.” Abudi seemingly referred to these celebrities as “second-hands,” sparking outrage among netizens over his audacity to post such content.
Some criticised him, suggesting he should think of his mother and sisters if they were in these celebs’ shoes, asserting that his comment was disrespectful and inappropriate. Others expressed sympathy for the celebrities, arguing that their private lives were being used as the butt of a joke. Meanwhile, some did find humour in the post, playfully expressing interest in the eighth celebrity, Dato Seri Vida.
While humour and gossip are often part of celebrity culture, it’s essential to consider the impact of our words on those involved. In an age where social media amplifies voices, it becomes crucial for netizens to reflect on the consequences of their posts.
