I have no stake in any of the multiple weird twitter things this could be in reference to, but if you're keeping a list of all of the instances where a celebrity you don't know personally has said something you consider problematic, you might have to consider you're the weird one
I'm not defending anything any person on this hellsite has said or done, hence why I'm not naming any names, but maybe every so often check over how much weird stuff you're keeping on hand to talk about someone and ask yourself:

"Am I stalking them?"
People talk about parasocial relationships a lot in terms of how people get overly attached to an internet personality and start overstepping bounds that way, but you can also have a negative parasocial relationship and that can be just as harmful to both sides of it.
And obviously there are people who have said and done inexcusable things and should probably be deplatformed for those things, and there are people whose content, and thus job, relies on them cataloguing those things.

But is that YOUR job, and if not, why are you doing it?
I couldn't tell you half the evil shit S**piro said because it's not my job to know. I don't keep a list of his horrible shit at hand to talk about it. And maybe the person you're obsessing over is genuinely awful.

It can still be unhealthy for you to obsess over them.
Social media has taken the already deeply destructive nature of celebrity culture and turbo charged it, and if you're obsessively keeping a list of the awful things someone has said on hand, you are feeding into that. Again, even if the person in question is genuinely awful.
So maybe check yourself every so often and make sure you're not obsessing over some internet celebrity.
