Not surprising. Catherine's video came out soon after the disclosure of clinic workers trying to get access to her private records. I will say one thing that there are medical workers that have big mouths and don't respect the confidentiality of patients. Neither does the media.
It's terrible that Catherine had to release her private info in a rush video. People who do this deserve Hell and they will meet me there, I have my summer clothes ready.

I once worked in a medical center where my desk was near the fax machine. Sometimes we received faxes that were confidential and sent to us by mistake. Of course, I often read them, but didn't tell anyone what I read. There is nothing private in the medical field anymore.

Horrible. She deserves privacy. However, the threat of the leaked info being made known backfired spectacularly. The media thought they could control her, but her taped message was spectacular in its effect. The media thought it would an hysterical bonanza, but instead Catherine took back the narrative and all theedia folks were left scrambling .

Everything did backfire and Catherine won the hearts of the public even more.
I blame a lot of the invasion of privacy that's happening now on social media. Celebs are "sharing" their lives on Facebook, Instagram, etc. They share what surgeries they've had, their "intimate lives", if they're having a feud with someone and of course, photos are included.
To me, one of the worst was Chrissie Tiegen's one pregnancy revealed a 26 week fetus that had demised. She showed photos of her labor being induced and then posted a photo of she and John grief stricken while holding the stillborn child (the baby was not show, thank the Lord). I was stunned that something so tragic and intimate was posted on social media. An acquaintance showed me the photo and yes, I viewed them. I didn't believe what she told me. To me, why?
What celebs are doing increases the media and public's appetite for more intrusion. However, John and Chrissie received a ton of public backlash.
