It's undeniable that everyone enjoys a little gossip. Although gossip is ingrained in human nature, there is a distinctive nudge to celebrity rumors that distinguishes them from normal office banter.

In actuality, we have always been interested in celebrity rumors. The relationships and lifestyles of celebrities often captivate us, whether we are chatting at the water cooler or taking a little coffee break.

But celebrity rumors do more than just feed our natural curiosity—they truly make us happy. Some people use what they learn about the behind-the-scenes activities and secret lives of celebrities as a means of escaping their everyday routine.

You know, the juicier the news, the better and to crown it all, there's a group for celebrity gossip these days, as revealed in today's story. The OP has a niece who is obsessed with a certain celebrity gossip group.

She says she reads it and participates in it for 2 hours every single day. The OP would have been fine with it, but the problem is that she brings it up constantly to him.

The OP literally cannot mention a song, show, or movie he likes without his niece bringing up stuff she read about the celebrity in question. She did it again while visiting the OP on one faithful day, and he just had to say his mind.

The full story lies below, so keep scrolling to check it out.

The OP writes

OP's niece can decide to hate somebody because of their "vibe"

The OP honestly forgot what happened there because it was so stupid

The OP made her feel too embarrassed to talk about her hobbies anymore

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I was pretty blunt with her and told her not to share something she clearly found interesting with me.

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to say regarding the story

The kid is in for a wake up call

She needs to get a life of her own

Embarrassment has a purpose

The OP elaborated more in the comments saying...

If I hear that somebody was kicked out, I assume that means their family, roommates, or building management no longer welcomed them to live there. I meant that she could come back another day.

We do not live together, so I did not kick her out. I asked her to leave because this behavior was irritating, and I had explained that to her quite a few times.

This isn't a hobby but an obsession

There are three levels to this

The OP only pointed out the flaw

Other people have lives too

Gossips exist because things happen every single day. The OP believes that his niece's problem is having too little life experience to understand nuance and picking her own battles.

Also, she relies too much on social media for personal beliefs, social skills, and etiquette. Redditors made their verdict and the OP was declared not the AH.
