How would Beyonce be treated by the media? She was/is much more respected in her industry and by the media (in comparison to Britney), so how would it have been handled? What would the headlines read? How would she have comeback from the lowest of low points?
She would never. Ever. Beyoncé has been programmed to always think of her image. It's impressive considering how much the media jumps on her when something happens.
Everyone except Bill O'Reilly would be very defensive and caring and say that we should give her her privacy as she's dealing with everything (all while covering it nonstop, I'm seeing never ending panels of mothers who dealt with severe stress on CNN, editorials on working mothers and stress, discussions on what's wrong with paparazzi and celebrity obsessed culture, etc.)
Why would she wish to have a meltdown like Britney?
I think her meltdown would have been as publicized as Britney. At some point she would have had to serve jail time or arrest if she did some things that Britney did in public, because of reasons I won't say.
