Josh Gad, Gal Gadot, Florence Pugh, Cardi B, Vanessa Hudgens…
These are just some of the celebrities who seem to be absolutely losing their minds while in COVID-19 lockdown.
Here are all of their weird social videos.
How can we break down the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly for those in the public eye?
In recent months, the world has been gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to widespread lockdowns and quarantines across the globe. With non-essential businesses closed and social gatherings prohibited, people have been forced to stay indoors and find new ways to keep themselves occupied. For many celebrities, however, this new way of life has taken a significant toll on their mental health, resulting in some high-profile breakdowns and bizarre behavior.
Perhaps one of the most notable celebrity meltdowns of the pandemic so far has been that of rapper Kanye West. The star, who has long been known for his erratic behavior, has had a particularly turbulent time in quarantine. He announced plans to run for President of the United States, made numerous controversial statements on social media, and even held a bizarre presidential campaign rally in which he broke down in tears and made deeply personal disclosures about his family.
Other stars have also struggled with the restrictions of quarantine. Singer Lana Del Rey sparked outrage when she shared a controversial statement on Instagram, in which she seemed to criticize other female artists for their supposed sexualization. Meanwhile, actress Vanessa Hudgens caused a stir with her comments on the pandemic, suggesting that deaths from the virus were an inevitable consequence of people going about their daily lives.
But it’s not just celebrities making public missteps during this difficult time. Many stars have also spoken candidly about their experiences with the lockdown, revealing that the isolation has taken a toll on their mental health. Actress Emma Watson, for instance, recently opened up about her struggles with “waves of anxiety” while in quarantine. Similarly, singer Selena Gomez has spoken about the difficulty of not being able to see her family in person, while comedian Sarah Silverman has admitted to struggling with both anxiety and depression during the pandemic.
So what is it about quarantine that seems to be driving celebrities to the brink? For one, the loss of routine and structure can be particularly difficult for those used to a fast-paced, high-pressure lifestyle. With fewer distractions and the constant reminders of the pandemic everywhere, it can be challenging to keep busy and maintain a sense of purpose. Additionally, the lack of social contact can be particularly hard for those who are used to being surrounded by fans, collaborators, and other people in the public eye.
Of course, it’s worth remembering that celebrities are not immune from the same challenges and difficulties that regular people face during this time. While they may have more resources and support at their disposal, they are still human beings, and the mental health struggles they experience are both real and valid.
In light of this, it’s essential that we take the mental health of all individuals seriously during this time of crisis, including those in the public eye. By fostering a more open and supportive dialogue around mental health, we can help break down the stigma and encourage people to seek help when they need it. Whether celebrities or everyday people, we all have a role to play in supporting one another during these difficult times.
