Thanks to social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, celebrities have become more accessible in recent years. But each social medium is usually used as an extension of public relations rather than an open book to the entertainer’s most intimate and sometimes image-tainting moments. But, alas, the Internet—and the majority of the celebrity-enthralled people who frequent it—have no chill.

Consecutive episodes of the rapper’s reality show, Chrissy and Mr. Jones, proved as much. But then there was the live crab that had Capo running like Junior Mafia was making chase. There's also the camping trip that had Jimmy so shook daddy his own son had jokes. Apparently, the goonies don’t like the boonies.
