@ Jealousy, envy et al: Oh c'mon, what has the public got to be jealous of an actress?! ...unless the person in question aspires to be an actress (or actor). I can see why the peeps in Showbiz may envy her - but the public? That makes very little sense, in my opinion. I think people are just stunned that someone like her got the opportunity to get so big while so many others are left behind. The same would have happened with another actress or actor if s/he turned out so big out of nothing and suddenly too.
And people who don't like her aren't "haters". 'Hate' and 'dislike' are two different (albeit close but still different) words, even if they are used interchangeably. Dislike is the simple act or feeling of not liking somebody or something. Hate implies intent dislike. Hate is at the extreme end of a spectrum, while love is at the other end. Like and dislike are at the middle, while indifference or apathy could be considered to be at the absolute middle. When we hate someone, the person ought to have done something really loathsome. Hate indicates extreme feeling for someone or something even if it is a negative emotion. I don't think most of us 'hate' her in that sense. That said, I don't claim to be an expert on this topic. Who knows, a few here or there may indeed 'hate' her.
I don't hate her. I don't like her, either. She is an overrated lucky star to me - but then, so are over 90% of the "actors" in the industry (I will not mention their names for obvious reasons - already Freida's topics have a negative reputation of crossing too many pages, most of them with not-so-civil replies). So why single her out? To me she is not very different from the stars or even the 'actors' out there. She isn't very different from the others out there, except that one made it very big, while many others are still lacking behind. But other than that?
