Physical ailments or mental health issues, to come up and be able to speak about them takes real courage, especially for celebrities. Because there where judgement comes in!

Recently Justin Bieber, one of the immensely popular pop stars in the world, opened up about his facial paralysis in a video message and also said, how it is becoming difficult for him to eat sometimes. But what’s shocking to witness and hear is how there were people who took a brutal dig at the pop star.
While it ultimately depends on what they need to share about their wellbeing, there’s no denying that, particularly for the less popular circumstances, having somebody discussing it honestly and openly can bring issues to light, decrease disgrace and be a strong power to fans who might be battling with something.
