Reasons celebrities' families call them out online

Legit.ng reached out to Asha Gangali, a singer and music producer on why celebrities' families prefer to settle their private issues on social media rather than one-on-one.

Asha highlighted three reasons families resort to social media court. He listed betrayal as the first reason, saying:

"Perhaps the celebrity abandoned the family member(s) after they had supported him before he became successful and they felt cheated and abandoned."

To the Hello Eh singer, emotional blackmail could be another reason.

"It could be a case of a family member using public empathy to extort financial and material resources from the celebrity."

Thirdly and lastly, Asha pointed in the direction of financial desperation on the part of the families.

"When someone is in desperate need of financial or material resources, or perhaps suffering physical ailments of some kind, it's usually hard to abide by principles. That's why some family members of celebrities have resorted to dragging their personal issues to social media to embarrass the celebs and hopefully get their attention."
