Did anyone ever think that celebrities that appeared in advertisements actually used or liked the products they are paid to promote?
This seems like false outrage.
I think the issue is more that people think something is legitimate, and when they go to purchase it or something they get their identity stolen
The celebrities may pay lip service to that, but really they're concerned about unlicensed use of their image.
