Line 14:
Mainly, it's non-fiction shows, or songs, that qualify for being '''Undermined by Reality'''. Fictional shows only really merit the trope if the actor does something that's actually illegal, or at least morally reprehensible enough that it's not just [[Moral Guardians|the usual suspects]] who are up in arms over their off-screen behaviour. If the actors are being held to ransom over normal, fairly innocuous behaviour simply because said behaviour doesn't mesh with their fantasy persona, then that's [[Contractual Purity]].
 
See also: [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] (where the irony of a situation is particularly cruel but affects the actor rather than the production), [[Holier Than Thou]] (for the fictional equivalent), and [[Artist Disillusionment]]/[[Fan Disillusionment]] (for the likely results of this trope). For the advertising variant, see [[We Care]]. See [[Role -Ending Misdemeanor]]. One reason [[Dead Artists Are Better]].
