<p>I’ll believe it if and/or when I meet her myself. :)</p>
<p>aw, that’s really sad :\ i feel bad for her.</p>
<p>"So? I’d say she’s about on equal footing with all the spoiled brats whose parents pay their whole way. 
"
we’re spoiled because we haven’t had a job since we were like 13? lol, get a life.</p>
<p>I’d like to say hopefully it will die down, but right as all the current students get used to having her there, in come new freshman and it’ll probably be the same thing all over again.</p>
<p>TheyCallMeCC: Defensive, much? :)</p>
<p>Plattsburgh: Maybe the younger students will catch on from the older students that it isn’t cool, once the older students get over it enough to set a suitable example. Or maybe she’ll get lucky and someone more interesting will come along.</p>
<p>not really, u just took the offensive, so i took offense :P</p>
<p>& i don’t think anyone more famous than emma watson would go to school, period. lol.</p>
<p>Why the hell are we feeling sorry for emma watson? it’s friggin emma watson. Its like starving people in super underdeveloped countries feeling sorry for americans because they are so fat. Who cares, I still rather have all of her cash lol i wouldn’t mind all the inconvenience that came with that much money</p>
<p>Grass is always greener, right?</p>
<p>excellent10, do elaborate. How was she snobby to you?</p>
<p>Just wait until the next Harry Potter movie comes out :P</p>
<p>Ι feel sorry for her because even she is a famous actor,she is a human after all.Either bad or good person i don’t think so that she deserved that.Not only for her but for everyone!!</p>
<p>Maybe I’m being harsh but I don’t really feel bad for her at all. I mean she’s one of the stars of one of the biggest movie franchises of all time. A franchise that probably 99% of college students are at least somewhat familiar with. Did she not expect to get harassed? I mean I’m not condoning the harassing but just that it should be expected when you go to class and football games with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people who know you’re famous and like/dislike you. It’s kinda like if you chose to move way out to Alaska, you kinda lose the right to complain about the weather. You made the bed, now sleep in it. I mean if she really wanted to avoid the attention so bad and really cared about her education, she could always transfer and take a bunch of courses online.</p>
<p>^ i disagree…being famous doesn’t give people the right to treat you like crap, you deserve basic respect like any other human being. A lot of famous people have attended my college, they weren’t treated like crap. I don’t feel sorry for Emma Watson as a person, she’s obviously pretty successful, but i recognize that these guys were being immature jerks and it sucks to have to deal with that. it’s not like she can just transfer to a college where no one has heard of her, she’s pretty famous.</p>
<p>For once I have to agree with Alix. :P</p>
<p>alix, being famous makes you special. You receive more attention and are treated differently, sometimes in good ways and sometimes in not so good ways. My point is that by her choice to go out in public amongst the target audience of her movies, she’s making herself a target. Again, I’m not condoning the harassment, it’s just that in every crowd, there’s always going to be a group of people that are just jerks or whatever and when they saw her, the group decided to harass her. It’s a basic fact that when she signed on for the Harry Potter movies, she was basically signing on to be potentially harassed, mistreated and stalked by random people just because she’s famous. In life, there are tradeoffs and the tradeoff for being famous is that you make yourself more of a target for unfavorable attention.</p>
<p>I can’t help but be reminded of the, “if she didn’t dress like a slut, she wouldn’t have gotten raped” argument. Nobody signs on to be harassed, mistreated, or stalked, no matter what they do. NOTHING justifies that kind of behavior. Doing the Harry Potter movies didn’t turn Emma Watson into some kind of a robot that no longer has any feelings or rights, she is a human being that deserves respect regardless of her career choices. Even if your argument were valid, she signed onto Harry Potter when she was like 10 or 11 years old. Like she honestly had any clue what she was getting into? At the time she didn’t even know if she liked acting, she was just going along with it. I highly doubt at that age she was thinking, “OH MY GOD IF I DO THIS I LOSE MY RIGHT TO ENJOY GOING OUT IN PUBLIC.” Get real.</p>

<p>Makes me wonder if Brown has any aspiring investigative journalists. They could out the ringleader of this cruel campaign.</p>
<p>
Not really. The paparazzi and other nuisances of life are what makes celebrities celebrities. It’s just another aspect of the job; stars thrive on attention, magazines thrive on giving attention to the stars, and celebrity worshipers feel that much closer to the celebrity because of this. I’m not saying she should be actively harassed but it sounds to me like this was merely a case of typical celebrity attraction.</p>
<p>“stars thrive on attention, magazines thrive on giving attention to the stars, and celebrity worshipers feel that much closer to the celebrity because of this.”</p>
<p>not always…;unrelated;celebrity worshipers–sometimes, otherwise, known as stalkers.</p>
<p>the actual acting is the job. having to put up with the crazies & give up parts of your personal life is an ugly-ass side-effect, lol. it may be a ‘typical’ attraction for the media, but not for an 18 [or however old] girl.</p>
<p>I don’t think the problem is the attention she’s receiving. She’s going to receive attention no matter what, but those students were unnecessarily cruel to a girl they probably have never even met before – for the sake being *******s.</p>
<p>^ Cruel? A couple of sarcastic posts on Twitter without actually attacking anyone isn’t what I’d consider cruel.</p>
