Pete Burns
I don’t know if this is even worth posting but i just saw an interview of the late Pete Burns on Instagram, of whom i have a lot of respect, talking about how Courtney used to harass and discriminate him back in the 80s before she was famous.
Now, Courtney is my idol, she is probably the person who I admire the most out of anyone who has ever lived, despite that I fully recognise her flaws. I know a great deal about her life and I am always fascinated to discover more about her. Obviously I don’t agree with everything that she has ever said. I actually really reset some of what I’ve heard attributed to her. I know that she has said some truly repugnant things, but the idea of her actively humiliating someone in this way really depresses me. I suppose because I am queer and I know firsthand how bad it feels.
I’m not looking it catharsis from this, I just don’t know how else to process it. I don’t know if it’s reductive to be disappointed about something she may have done when she was in her teens. Especially as she’s having a rather publicised resurgence at the moment. I’m just wondering if anybody else is currently experiencing this too
