Do you keep up with the Kardashians or do you keep scrolling on your feed?
Recently, celebrity scandals have been the talk around campus. From Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods, to Lori Laughlin and the college bribery scandal, what are students thoughts?
“I love celebrity gossip, I always look forward to knowing what is going on at all times,” said junior Kayla Hanrahan.
Senior Jack Sullivan does not spend his time looking through celebrity pop culture, but instead focuses on his passion for sports.
“I do not follow most of celebrity pop culture but when it comes to professional athletes, I’m all about it,” said Sullivan.
Junior Drew Homola also does not care for your typical celebrity gossip.
“I am not really into celebrity gossip. I usually just look at what is going on on Barstool or Sports Center,” said Homola.
From the Kardashians to Shawn Mendes, many students follow celebrities to always be on top of what is happening in their lives.
For junior Nicole Grotto, “My recent celebrity obsession is Shawn Mendes. I like to think I am up to date on his life from his Instagram pictures and stories. I even get notified when he posts,” said Grotto.
Snapchat and Instagram were the two popular choices for where students got their celebrity gossip from.
“Every morning when I wake up, I check E! News, Daily Mail, and People on Snapchat, as well as other media blogs on Instagram,” said Hanrahan.
Junior Emma Sanders said she always tunes into her favorite television stations to see what is going on.
“For me, waking up in the morning, or even before I go to bed, I watch E! News or TMZ to see what has been going on that day,” said Sanders.
As major media personalities, the Kardashians are always making the headlines. Scandals between one of the sisters, Khloe Kardashian, and her on-and-off again NBA star boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, have been filing newsstands for the last couple of weeks.
Jordyn Woods, a public figure known for being Kylie Jenner’s best friend was recently accused of having an affair with Tristan Thompson.
“I followed the Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods scandal because I wanted to be able to see if it would affect the way Thompson played in his upcoming games,” said Sullivan.
Students such as Grotto are on the Team Khloe end of the scandal.
“I followed the scandal just to hear what lies Jordyn had to say. Once a cheater always a cheater. Khloe deserves better than Tristan,” said Grotto.
Hanrahan mentioned how she was shocked by how much the story blew up overnight.
“I remember going to bed seeing one or two small stories about it. And then the next day waking up to everyone in school talking about how crazy it all was, and not being able to look anywhere without seeing something about it,” said Hanrahan.
“At the end of the day there is no better gossip than celebrity gossip. Especially when there is lots of tea to be spilled,” said Sanders.
