It is true, artists only need love and appreciation for their art. However, sometimes the amount and way of expressing affection become so brutal that they have to change their ways of communicating with their fans. Phoebe Bridgers recently shared a terrible incident she had with a fan and it led us to other celebrities who also had the similar kinds of experiences.

On January 3, Bridgers announced the death of her father and after around a week’s time, she appeared with a comedian named Bo Burnham. In her interview with Them magazine, the singer opened up about being bullied by her fans. She angrily acknowledged the fact that people who like her music bullied her on her way to her father’s funeral. Bridgers revealed she hated the act and blamed capitalism for spoiling kids. Those who claimed to be in support of the singer were the ones who dehumanized her and shamed her.
