Should a Celebrity Reveal a Major Illness?

Add this Article to your website/blog

A recent example of a celebrity keeping their illness a secret is Georgia Frontiere, the Rams owner, who died at 80 of breast cancer. Her illness was kept a secret by family members and team officials, according to her wishes.

Having to worry about the extra attention and unwanted press this kind of news can bring is undesirable, especially while battling disease. Making the decision to reveal an illness can leave one feeling scared and vulnerable.

It might seem obvious why a celebrity or public figure facing this decision would choose not to reveal a major illness. In addition to the unwelcome press, there are more reasons why a public figure might choose not to reveal their illness.

Being remembered for their work, not their disease is what most people desire. And, going public with a disease can be a career-ender, so many choose to keep their battles private.

Despite the difficulties in mentioning a serious illness to the public, much good can come from revealing it.

In the case of breast cancer, speaking about it publicly can help to raise awareness of the disease and encourage others who might be at risk to get screened.

Another example: Lance Armstrong, who just won his 7th Tour de France race, shed light on testicular cancer, even while his cancer had spread to his lungs and brain.

Why do these celebrities reveal their illnesses? I suspect it's because the act of revealing is cathartic. The end result is often clarity and a new purpose.
