How do we explain it when celebrities
act so evil?

A number of show business, news media, and political personages have proclaimed vile comments, cheering the murder of Christian conservative Charlie Kirk.
So, too, have entertainment-industry has-beens who grab for modern relevance. None will be named by this writer, who doesn’t wish to aid miserable lost souls’ quests.
I believe there are at least two reasons some celebrities acquit themselves so despicably.
First, unfortunately, a hatred market exists. Just as there are garbage-hearted people with wallets, there breathe conscienceless graspers with big eyes. Whether someone is selling a candidacy, a movie ticket, a TV program, a recording, or any other commodity, market cultivation is surely a consideration.

Reminder: “WE ARE A SALON AND NOT A SALOON”
Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.
I have a third theory. They had basic talent, like thousands of others. Then when their character was evaluated as usable, the deep state sponsored them. Celebrities are not all self made men- they are men with a lust for fame and fortune. When they get their position of influence they are expected to repay for the boost they received.
Evil celebrities were selected to promote due to their character flaws. It is called ascertainment bias if you judge the verbal ones based on their celebrity status, when it is actually based on their character.
By the way, the exact same thing happens with politicians! Which is why we have ended up with such a sleazy collection in congress.

It's important to remember that for most of human history, actors were considered pariahs, hardly better than prostitutes and thieves. That changed with motion pictures, because people could watch the performance without having to deal with the actors in person. That's why the studio system so closely monitored the actors, and why the PR business thrived as the studios controlled the narrative. With social media, people are once again seeing just how awful actors are. The studios can no longer hide their depravity.

Most celebritiies aren't very intelligent, and they live in a world where everyone around them is an extreme lefty. So, these weak minded folks buy into the groupthink that they swim in.
They live and breath saying other people's words with conviction....so many don't really have many original thoughts on any given day.

I forget the name but a noted Hollywood divorce lawyer once said when asked about dealing with celebrities seeking a divorce. He said, "You have to remember that you are dealing with people who have giant egos and low intelligence".

I learned long ago....
Don't confuse the Actor with the Character that they play.
My experience (I ran the stage crew at my high school, an embarrassingly long time ago) was that there were some very nice people in the 'Drama' classes, but there was also a higher-than-normal collection of lazy, foolish and egotistical jerks.

Ignore them. Nothing could be worse for someone who lives to perform. Do not spend money on them in any form. Turn your back and walk away.

Someone (I forget who it was) once said actors usually come from all across the country. They gather in H'wood and cut ties with home and family because they want fame and money. Like others here have said, they sell their souls to achieve this. They will say and do anything they are told to. The problem with that now is what they say spreads across the internet and it's starting to cost them their career. Susan Sarandon, Tom Hanks, and other biggies have all said that conservatives, MAGA are 'not very smart' people. Got it. No more watching anything they are in.

Frank Sinatra doesn't belong in this category. He was, by any reasonable assessment, a central figure in 20th Century American culture. He was also, by common consent, a difficult and driven human being.
He could, at times, display extraordinary disregard for the feelings of others. He could also, less well known, show extraordinary compassion for people.
The great, arguably greatest ever, celebrity profile in Esquire magazine by Gay Talese, "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold," probably gets it about right. It contains this story I like:
One of his daughter's college friends was attending a Sinatra party at their home and, in a moment of exuberance, knocked one of two matched statues off the piano. Dead silence, into which Sinatra's daughter wailed, "Those are Mom's favorites!"
Frank walked over to the piano, fixed the girl in his eyes, pushed the other statue off the piano, smashing it, and said, "Forget it, kid. It doesn't matter."
He wasn't always a good man, but he was a great singer, and did a lot more good than people know.

To succeed in Hollywood, you have to kneel at the altar of money and power and do as you are told.
If you don't vote the right way, complain the right way, dress the right way, or make fun of people the Hollywood crowd hates, you will not succeed. There are conservatives in Hollywood, but most are quiet and keep their opinions to themselves out of self-preservation.

Harvey Weinstein wasn't the only producer who had a casting couch and a lot of women and men went on that couch, and those others are still there and will be forever.
