significance of Tabloids

Tabloids and their prevalence in Henry and Alex's lives show not only the constant attention public figures like them are subject to, but also the obsession media has with scandal. Though Alex and Henry's relationship is intimate, tabloids take the opportunity to give them even more exposure in a way that paints them in a bad light.

Tabloids manage to derive a lot of attention by positioning Alex and Henry's relationship in a scandalous manner, traumatizing the couple and making it difficult for them to navigate an even more difficult situation.
