I Have A Hard Time Getting Past The Idea That There's Such A Thing As 'Snapchat Star'
-
What was I saying yesterday about the pains of even Internet stardom? Here's another one, "Snapchat star" YesJulz, who was subjected to an alleged extortion attempt: Two guys threatened to post nude pictures of her unless she paid them $18,000 within 24 hours. Coupla things: Seriously, who thinks they can get away with something like this anymore? How can anyone think a flat-out extortion attempt can be successful? And aren't we at the point where nude photos are sort of commonplace? It's violative, yes, and wrong, but it isn't a career-killer like it used to be. Would anyone (other than YesJulz, that is) have even noticed if the pictures were released? (WFOR-TV/Miami)
