More drama from the Jakob Ingebrigtsen wedding: Mom didn't sit at main table with the other family members

Deeply strange? Idk about that, maybe it's different in Norway, but in the US it's not deeply strange to have a falling out with your family. I know people who have estranged family because of political differences (Trump cultists/Qanoners), mine included. Maybe not the average wedding, but I'd bet a lot of people don't invite particular family members to their weddings.

Imo it's not good how obsessed people are with the personal lives of people they have no connection to outside of social media/tv. Maybe as a young person I'm just seeing the effect that expectation is having on people of my generation, but I think the world would be a much better place if we stopped obsessing over the private lives of public figures. It's pretty clear that the family wants to keep whatever happened to themselves, and I think we should respect that.

Then the family shouldn't have aired their lives to the public via a television show, this generating further interest in their personal lives off the track.

Even absent that, it's human nature to be interested in the lives of a favorite athlete/actor/musician/etc. No one is demanding that the paparazzi track their every move, but it's hardly obsessive to follow along with this drama as new info comes to light.

What’s the point of bringing politics into it?
