Seems a popular trend to elevate an individual (be it popular figure, politician, entertainer, athlete, ‘reality’ celebrity, etc.) to heights of expectation beyond reason (often at the hands of their own PR machine) then feign shock followed by mocking (often accompanied by exclamation laden headlines) when these same individuals inevitably fall from the lofty perches of expectation they had no business being placed upon in the first place.
Misplaced expectations most often ends in disappointment. The names, places, and details may change, but the general theme is repetitive and quite predictable.
