Unfortunately, some celebrities are objectified primarily due to their looks rather than being acknowledged for their talents, achievements, or character. This superficial focus can diminish their contributions and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. These celebrities often face undue pressure to conform to societal beauty standards and often struggle to be recognized beyond their appearance. The media’s fixation on their physical attributes can overshadow their skills and accomplishments, reinforcing the notion that their value lies solely in their looks.

One poster said, “Brooke Shields. Probably the worst exploitation of a celebrity’s Smexuality I’ve seen in my lifetime. The fact that she posed in Playboy as a literal CHILD (I think she was 10) truly baffles my mind. It is absolutely disgusting, and I don’t know how anyone was okay with that.”

The Olsen Twins

A second poster shared, “I remember when creepy bros and radio show hosts had their countdown to when the Olsen twins turned 18.”

Eliza Dushku

A third poster added, “Eliza Dushku, that poor woman was molested as a child while filming True Lies and harassed while on the set of Bull – at least in the latter case, she was able to settle for 8 million dollars.”

Emma Watson

This user commented, “I Remember when as soon as Emma Watson turned 18, the paparazzi went crazy, trying to get pictures up her dress and everything.”

Billie Eilish/Millie Bobby Brown

Someone shared, “I didn’t realize how bad it was until recently with Billy Eilish and Millie Bobby Brown. So gross.”

Megan Fox

A top-liked comment said, “Megan Fox. The way they treated her while marketing the movie Jennifer’s Body was gross. The movie is actually decent, but they basically advertised it like P because she was in it and made her do awkward publicity for it.”

Zac Efron

This person added, “Zac Effron. In his show Down To Earth, there’s a car ride scene where Zac cries when he’s talking about girls who had obsessed with him, and it caused a lot of trauma for him. In the past, I could not stand the dude, but seeing the real him really showcased how good of a guy he is.”

Dolly Parton

A poster commented, “Dolly Parton was one of the best singer/songwriters in America through the ‘70s and ‘80s, and a lovely, smart, gracious person. All you ever heard about her, from late-night comedians and interviewers, was her large breasts. She handled it with grace, though, and just kept on being amazing.”

Finn Wolfhard

One user recalled, “Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things. All his Instagram comments are older women being absolutely repulsive in the comments. He’s 20 now, but when he was underage, it was no better. Really sad.”

Harry Styles

This commenter mentioned, “Harry Styles!! I know he’s expressed discomfort about it… But I also know his fan base is LOTS of teenage girlies, but there are a lot of older women who are disturbingly obsessed with him.”

Marilyn Monroe

A well-liked post mentioned, “Marilyn Monroe was like a patient 0, really damaged her mental health and self-perception. Still to this day, she gets labeled as “crazy.”

Chris Hemsworth

Someone shared, “Chris Hemsworth, but I think it helps him. If he weren’t that ripped and hot I guarantee he’d make less money per movie.”

Lily Rose-Depp

A poster commented, “Lily Rose Depp’s introduction to the acting world made me weep. All the talent in those genes, and they chose to smexualize the crap out of her in that Idol nonsense. It was so transparent it felt like I was transported to a 1970s casting couch—time to fire that agent.”

Alexandra Daddario

This user added, “Alexandra Daddario. She is gorgeous and seems like a very nice and genuine person, but her acting is mid. I highly doubt she’d get rolls if she didn’t look the way she does.”

Pam Anderson

Finally, a user said, “Pamela Anderson. It feels like everything that was ever about her was her appearance. I imagine it’s hard to go through life like that.” Source: Reddit
