Evidence

Unlike celebrities who loathe being tailed by the paparazzi, Maples understands her livelihood as bound together with making her private life visible to millions of anonymous viewers.

She is merely bothered by the lack of accuracy in these comments (even though some of the comments, like the one cited above, are not far off). — Grant Bollmer, Katherine Guinness, The Influencer Factory, 132
