Many celebrities seem to have a love-hate relationship with social media, as both haters and fans alike are able to give their desired celebrity a piece of their mind. While many stars are in the press for giving in to the criticism and lashing out, it’s time we take notes from celebrities who keep it cool, remain professional, and prioritize brand-building over personal vendettas.
