I voted no. Maybe they can escape traffic tickets or petty theft cases more easily than other people but they are also chained by more things than me. For example - if I'm tired and leave the house without combing my hair - no big deal! I probably won't run into anybody and if I run into somebody I know - it will probably be one minor person in my life who won't judge me and it will be forgiven. Celebrities however - get judged every time they have a bad hair day - every time they lose their temper - every time they over exercise - every time they gain or lose 5 pounds - every time they wear ugly clothes - every time they make a controversial statement - every time they associate with a questionable character without fully researching their background first - every time they make a biased comment that somebody wants to exaggerate for social or political advantage - every time they make errors in judgment in their dating lives - every time they chew with their mouth open etc... As an example - I would not want to be Kate Middleton who has to be perfect little miss sunshine 24 / 7 and can't show the slightest flaw to the public. For example - if she is scared to give birth - she can't share her fears with anybody - if her feet are tired she has to pretend it doesn't bother her etc... that is the life of a celebrity,

That’s really the way our legal system works; if you have a bunch of money to throw at a good attorney, you have a much better chance of going free 😣

I mean Bruce Jenner killed a person and got away scott free. Bill Cosby drugged and raped girls but probably won't serve time

Yes, sadly it is the case. A lot of times celebrities just can get out with crime for way more time before being detected than non celebrities could even attempt to do. The main thing is that celebrities can always afford to pay for someone to shut their mouths up, for someone to take the active part in their behalf and so on, which will make them way less likely to be caught out.

Yeah, of course they do... Look at the Bollywood actor, Salman Khan. He's murdered a guy and he hasn't gone to prison.

Look at Harvey Weinstein, if almost 70 women made sexual harassment complaints about a non famous person, do you think he'd still be walking as a free man?

[pervertedjester]

Everyday things that we'd get in trouble for, like speeding, they'd just sign autographs to get out of. But we nail them to the wall for what they say and if they ever break the big 3. Or at least nowadays.

[Catholicgirl22]

Yes defenitley. Look at Roman Polanski.

[MinjieYoo]

At some situations, yes, given their influence and probably money. Still, those same things can make a reverse result.

[alice55]

The result surprised me, personally I feel like it's even worse for them since they're popular and all. People would be even more deceived in them and court would be more strict.

[TadCurious]

Justin Bieber sure gets away with more. I don't know why we haven't deported his ass back to Canada yet.

[chriscdi]

Its the other way around actually cause they get caught and the media knows, once the media knows no corruptness could happen or the media would know and it can cause something

[Pamina]

In a lot of cases, yes. It's more about money and power though than about how famous someone is.

[ShineDJJ]

Money is a good to for getting people out of trouble.

[ShineDJJ]

Tool*

[Voxpop]

Some do. Some don't because their lives are more publicised than normal people. But most do. Because money

[LaurenceFirstVicar]

Celebrities try hard not to ruin their image so most of them try not to do as bad of stuff as others would do. Either that or they have access to better lawyers.

[AleixoAlonso]

I'm certain Dolan has scammed many people in his life and got away with it so, yeah

[BeenShook]

Just look at how all the rape and assault cases are handled in the NFL.

[redhoodttt]

I guess the ones with good connections, like celebs, can get away easily.

[SwagsMcBags]

I mean, OJ literally killed his wife and got away with it so I don't know.

[Anonymous]

Mumble rappers participating in driveby shootings and not going to jail lmao

[PillowThief]

Yes.
Case study: Bill Cosby.

[JimRSmith]

Definitely.

[One_J_Boi]

Everyday we stray further from God

[Shoenron]

It's mainly about wealth actually.

[Dchrls78104]

O. J. Simpson got away with murder!
