Selection bias? "Only the ones you hear about"?

Bingo. No one wants to read articles about how a celebrity is decent person. You are going to hear about the feuding broken divorce more than the loving decades long marriage. Or you hear about an off day where someone got mad at someone who didn't deserve it. We all have off days, but celebries have public off days.

I think it's the sexual assaults and domestic violence that people are referencing.

There too, minor infractions won't get much attention while horrifying ones will be paraded across the headlines for weeks or months.
