The judgment of "They're just famous for being famous" has been leveled against influencers, reality stars, nepo babies, and the like. It's the idea that a celebrity has a platform only because of who they are (or who their family is), not because of what they've done.

However, some of these celebs have used their platforms to launch careers in other facets of entertainment, which some fans believe proves that their fame comes from their talent. So I'm curious to find out what you think.
