Rumors of infidelity, leaked nude photos and drug allegations are consistent stunts pulled by celebrities and sites to garner attention. But highlighting dead fetuses is crossing the line.
I’m all about obtaining exclusive interviews, quotes and photos, but there has to be a boundary. I’m sure entertainment site Bossip made a ton of money on advertisement with their interview featuring video vixen Esther Baxter. I know my Twitter timeline and Facebook feed was flooded with commentary on the Joe Budden and Baxter drama.
In a recent interview, Baxter responded to domestic violence charges against Budden, recently released Budden track and past miscarriages. At first after hearing mention of the Budden vs. Baxter situation again, I thought everyone just hadn’t heard about this week old news. Once I clicked the link and saw it was an interview featuring photos of a restraining order, bruises and a dead fetus (which has now been removed), I was appalled.
The entire situation is very disappointing. For awhile, the Twitter fiasco between Budden and Baxter died. Tweets surfaced last week between the two about the lyrics of Budden’s latest song, “Ordinary Love Sh*t, Part 3: Closure,” that details personal accounts of his past relationship with Baxter. I see Baxter was not lying when she said she could produce documented proof. But documented proof at what cost?
