If I think about the ways I think and behave towards people I care about, those things probably aren't appropriate or possible to express towards a celebrity.

Yes there are cases in which fans behavior has been more like harassment, like Britney Spears.

Yes there are examples where fandom itself is toxic like the way the UK treats it's royal family generally.

However, for a celebrity like this how would one care about her in that way and would she actually want that.

If a tv or movie star wants to be adored and desired (for film roles), then they can't simultaneously want to be left alone.

This is exactly the type of logic I'm talking about, though. You are automatically assuming an actor chose their career path because they were motivated by fame, when there is no evidence of that and you don't know anything about them as a person. Then you argue that because they are now famous, they no longer have any right to privacy even when they are not at work.

You're talking about not wanting to be harassed, and that's fair enough.

I'm talking about not wanting to be adored or desirable.
