Do you think celebrities like Tiger Woods are entitled to any private life?
Do you think celebrities like Tiger Woods are entitled to any private life?
RICHARD ECKHARDT, Clayton: “They’re not entitled to the same private life I’m entitled to. Tiger Woods lives in a gated community, but makes a billion dollars selling underwear, sports drinks, tennis shoes — everything under the sun. That’s the tradeoff — he’s trading some of his personal liberties for a billion dollars.”
TAMMY ORCUTT, Beavercreek: “Yes. I don’t really think that’s anything that has to do with him playing golf.”
DEBORAH JONES, Fairborn: “No. I think when they make money from the public, then they open themselves up for public scrutiny.”
KIM KRETZ, Beavercreek: “Yes. I think every person is entitled to an inherent amount of privacy — even though they’re celebrities.”
ANGELA WEBB, Fairborn: “Yes, because they are human. Despite the fact that they’re celebrities. That shouldn’t matter.”

My thinking is that celebrities, like all public figures (politicians, military, police, emergency services) need to be held to higher standards if only because they are in the public eye constantly. From my Navy days, it was constantly drilled into our heads that if we did anything illegal out in town, it was twice as bad simply because not only did you make yourself look bad, but you just made the U.S. Navy look bad too. Celebrities have endorsements and when a celeb does something wrong or illegal, it does reflect poorly on that product, if only on the consumer’s sub-conscious mind.

When the police are called to your residence for a disturbance it becomes public record. Wealth does not protect anyone from scrutiny. If you want privacy, then be a moral, law abiding citizen. Your business will remain undisclosed unless your agent chooses otherwise.

Yes, I believe that everyone should have their privacy. It is not our business to their private lives no matter who they are.

I can’t believe this stuff wasn’t known earlier! Why has the media kept quiet until now. There’s no way that these interactions weren’t know before now. Why was it covered up?

it was a bit of a coverup. The people who covered golf regularly had to know about it. Now let’s get one thing clear—Eldrick is NOT a celebrity. He plays golf full time. 8 hours a day 25 weeks a year. If he wants privacy, then he should play his golf and go home. Not do commercials for Buick, Nike, etc. Don’t ask me to leave you alone one day and ask me to buy something you get for free the next.
