If your denominator is fans, yes.

If it is stars, not so much.

> You just don’t realize because relatively this stuff almost never happens to men, even attractive men.

Yes, it does, and not just conventionally attractive men. You don't realize because men have less social support for discussing it when it happens to them, and you mistake relative visibility for relative frequency.

I think this is similar to how domestic violence is cast as a women's issue, yet men are just as likely if not more so to be victims.
