You really don’t pay attention to how celebrity culture, and more importantly celebrity controversy, works. It’ll actually have mostly blown over by this time next week if the Robertsons are smart enough to keep their mouths shut. Celebrity culture needs constant fuel, any story that doesn’t regularly give something new to talk about burns out. If they stop talking there won’t be anything new to talk about, it’s already mostly played out. Now it’ll spew back up a bit when the new season of the show starts in January (something new to talk about), but again it’ll fade in a week or so. And if something “exciting” (like a juicy divorce) is happening to some other celebrity this one won’t even bubble up when the new season starts.
The best defense when in the middle of a celebrity controversy is to shut up and stay out of the lime light. Talking keeps it going because it provides something for the press to talk about. Keep quiet, stay home, and wait for Beiber or the Kardashians to do something stupid.
But why should they have to keep their mouths shut?
