The media know how to spin a good story, so when a female celebrity is spotted out with a guy, they’re instantly dating and the gossip mill starts churning out stories of their romance. These 5 celebrities say they’re tired of being linked to every male they’re seen with and think it’s crazy that the media won’t let them simply hang out with a guy friend without starting a new dating rumour about them. Here is what they’ve said about the frustrating and over the top stories that spread like wildfire.
Kate Hudson
Kate feels that she can’t even have dinner with anyone male: “I was having dinner with one of them [a male friend] recently – my son`s uncle – and the next day in the press he was described as a `mystery man` I was dating. I hope one day people will recognise that women can have platonic male friends.”
Kate Upton
Kate is sick of all rumours, including those about her love life: “Reading things about myself that aren’t true drives me crazy. I’ve managed to block it out, but my family really hasn’t. So they’ll read about me and then call me up saying, ‘Are you alright? I saw this happened’.”
Kylie Jenner
Kylie hates how the media report on her male friends being her boyfriends: “Media always making it seem like I’m dating everyone I’m seen with.. Makes no sense to me. Don’t listen to everything you see, people.”
Selena Gomez
Selena is bored of the tabloids making up romance stories: “It does get to me. I’m a human and I feel those emotions when people talk about you. It’s never a good feeling ’cause half the time it’s just bull, it’s not real.”
Taylor Swift
Taylor is tired of being linked to every guy she is in contact with: “[T]he fact that there are slide shows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with. . . it’s just kind of ridiculous. It’s why I have to avoid the tabloid part of our culture, because they turn you into a fictional character.”
