On the surface, most celebrities look happy and satisfied with their lives and achievements, but most times the lives they portrayed, the smiles they give may be hiding a desperate need for help.
This insight was shared by Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo, on Monday, in an Instagram post.
The 33-year-old said most celebs are fighting “very familiar demons” in the pressure to live up to expectations that are unrealistic and to make headlines.
She wrote,
This is So True , I Even Cried This Morning for No Specific Reason. , I know my Haters Will Start Jumping Up now and thanking their Babalawo ?????. ..

The unspoken truth is that “some” celebrities are constantly fighting very familiar demons… The deepened emptiness and void they feel and must fill with the next hit, the next drag, the next feel or the next high!On the outside, they may seem like the happiest people on earth but many cry themselves to sleep with their thoughts bouncing off the walls of the pressure society puts on them and sadly those that they put on themselves..
The pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations… To make the headlines…
To outdo each other… To be be most spoken off… The pressure of the hate , jealousy and envy masked behind contoured faces as betrayals and treachery are the order of the day!
Some have never ever felt real love as everyone around them from family and friends are there just for what they can gain and get…
Many are lonely but not because of the absence of company but the absence of true direction and purpose!
So its all about the next post to go viral, the next outfit and the next lie to be lived! Social media has created attention hungry monsters that must ride on everything and anything! Depression is hidden in false impression and anyone can lay claim to stardom! But make no mistake, behind their smiles is a desperate cry for help!!!
