Agreed. It’s a family issue that would be none of our business if we knew them personally.

Why the judgmental comments about this particular episode of mundane celebrity gossip? If you’re not interested, why not just move along and let the rest of us nosey nellies entertain ourselves? I am pretty certain that none of us here need an etiquette lesson in what would be appropriate to say to these people if we actually circulated in their orbit.

People probably want to express disapproval about “mundane celebrity gossip.”

Moreover, unlike movie stars or other A list celebrities, these people should probably be exempt from this type of gossip. She’s the widow of the former VP’s son. Not exactly someone who thrust herself into the public eye.
