Umm, no. People need to re-learn the proper definition of Bullying. It is not BULLYING every SINGLE time one person makes fun of or criticizes another.
Bullying implies incessant, drawn out attacks and typically involves the Bully having some sort of power or status over the bullied which makes it difficult for them to stand up for themselves.
If you're a celebrity, you've signed up for a near-total lack of privacy, and if you're going to publicly make an ass out of yourself, you will be made the f*** fun of. Period.

Writing articles on someone and mocking/criticizing their every move isn't a form of bullying? It's not meant to demean and humiliate said person? For some entertainers it
is prolonged and can last months, even years. I agree that celebrities have to take the good with the bad, but to say that the media doesn't bully them is incorrect. Also, are you saying one can only be bullied when the antagonist has power over the victim? One could stand up for themselves and face their attacker every time they clash, but they're
still being bullied. They still have to come out of their comfort zone to defend themselves, and who's not to say just because a person faces their bully they're no longer hurt by their bullies words?
