These super powerful celebrities become so out of touch with the human condition after awhile.
It's usually a gradual process where they sink into a bubble of narcissism and self-entitlement, surrounded by yes-people, and they just lose all sense of the reality that most people live in.
You look at Mel Gibson, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, the stories get weirder and weirder.
I can certainly condemn his atrocious actions but I don't think it's possible for me to understand what it's like to be mega-rich and powerful and what that does to a person.
