While we know that celebrities are people just like us, they're also not entirely like us. What we mean by that is while they're human beings, their status is usually somehow higher than the one we hold.

And, often enough, this status is built on specific secrets and the revelation of them could be detrimental to some careers. One might say they have some "skeletons in their closets". So, today, let's discuss what, in netizens' opinions, celebs are definitely hiding those skeletons.

I don't think it's a secret. People just ignore the fact that he's a perv.

    My guess is he's gay and really really does not want to come out of the closet, which is sad he feels so threatened by the possibility he's willing to be blackmailed by this evil "religion". Same goes for John Travolta, who is also drinking the Scientology Kool-Aid.

    The interesting thing about us all is that we all have secrets, some say, on average, 13 at a time. Or maybe it’s not that interesting a fact, given that we all have them. Well, at least what’s interesting for sure are those secrets themselves. 

    But the essence of a secret is that it’s something that no one else besides you or very few people know about. If more did, it’s not a secret anymore; it morphs into a fact. Some secrets are okay with being turned into a fact. Actually, with some, it’s even advisable to make them this way – as the saying goes, getting things off your chest.

    After all, it’s a proven psychological phenomenon that some things seem way bigger before talking them out. That’s due to the fact that our brain loves to dramatize things, especially more negative ones. That’s called negativity bias

    It’s when our brains learn more from negative experiences than positive ones, and so it keeps replaying them when faced with something similar. That’s been used for survival, but sometimes it only brings detriment. Just thinking about the worst possible scenario, even if it’s highly unrealistic

    Man inside a car pointing a finger while driving, illustrating people think celebrities closet skeletons concept. Mr. Beast. Something doesn’t seem right.

    its-easy-mkay replied:
    He was absolute jerk before he got really famous. A lot of people don't realise that he used to have a YouTube channel where he made fun of peoples YouTube intros, most of these intros were by young kids who didn't have high-quality cameras or were just having fun. The channels he always mocked were smaller channels with low sub counts. As he shifted his content, he scrubbed his channel of these videos and suddenly he was this wholesome nice guy.

    Man in a suit and tie speaking on a TV show with an audience in the background discussing celebrities and closet skeletons. Jay Z and Beyonce.

    Ok-Yogurt-3914 replied:
    The issue with Beyonce is that her father is probably the culprit of a a lot of her issues. I mean, it's been said for years. They would bite off other artists and call it their own ideas. Like change some words in lyrics, and try to claim rights. When she got with Jay, a man much older than her, I'm sure she kept doing whatever he told her to do. I think that's why people give her grace.

    Now, I remember Wendy William mentioned many times in her show that she knew them and that Beyonce was "not bright at all." I'm not trying to defend her, but her interviews do say as much. I'm 10000% that's why doesn't give out interviews anymore. One wrong sentence, and it will all come tumbling down for both of them.

    And so, sometimes it’s just better to talk about everything with someone else, whether it’s a fear or a secret, and so you can realize it was not that big of a deal to begin with. That’s why therapy is such a useful psychological healing tool. 

    At the same time, other secrets are better kept hidden. Their revelation might hurt a person. For example, if someone realizes they are a part of LGBTQ+, but they reveal that might get them hurt, that secret is better kept undisclosed until safer times arrive.

    Man in casual clothes speaking into a microphone on a podcast set about people think celebrities closet skeletons. Brad Pitt his kid recorded him beating Angelina and smashing his plane when he was drunk. He then attacked the kid recording him. His kids want nothing to do with him …. If it happened once it’s happened before. He’s been suing his wife ever since her and the kids left I assume it’s to keep his secrets quiet. She tried to sell her parts of the winery and various other ventures and he sued her …. He’s desperate to control her life.

    Man in headphones speaking into a microphone during a podcast discussing people think celebrities closet skeletons. Quentin Tarantino. He has so many red flags. Weinstein association, publicly and adamantly defended Roman Polanski, and so many creepy subtle intimate things he inserts into his movies for his own pleasure. The guy is a massive weirdo and when he faces a serious allegation or is proven to have done something awful I won't be the least bit surprised. His movies are pretty good though. .

    Revealed secrets can also ruin someone’s reputation or career. For example, if someone did something rather immoral back in the day, this coming out might destroy everything they have. Such cases can apply to the executive of some company, as well as any of the people mentioned in today’s listicle. 

    A great example of a celebrity's secret coming out and ruining their reputation is Ellen DeGeneres. Her coming out as a lesbian back in the day impacted her career in a major way, causing her career setbacks and hate mail, and leading her to depression. But she was still able to make a name for herself.

    Besides her, people online have almost guaranteed that these mentioned folks are definitely hiding something – and it’s only a matter of time before it comes out. And who knows, they might be true.

    After all, even if the whole drama surrounding the Epstein files and the revelations about which people are in them is shattering a lot of carefully crafted images these days. And who knows what else, like that, is hiding in the shadows. 

    What do you think – do any of those celebs seem suspicious to you?

    Actor in a colorful tropical shirt speaking while another man listens, illustrating people think celebrities closet skeletons. Ryan Reynolds.

    Rripurnia replied:
    A YouTuber recently dug up an old print interview of his where he very casually mentioned that he deliberately started a fire at his elementary school.
    The YouTuber then found the incident report about said fire on the front page of the Vancouver Sun, and the damage was rather extensive — an entire wing was burned down!
    No one was ever caught, but the timeline eerily aligned with Ryan’s story. Ryan, by the way, appears to have found it extremely funny.
    So, he’s at the very least a (self-admitted) arsonist.
