You can’t play with sharks in the belief they won’t bite you.
This idea seems to be a common delusion among celebrities. The latest one to get a small wake up call was Stephen Colbert.

Yes, there were tweets congratulating him for his position and no, I don’t give a crap about them. He chummed the waters enough and if he gets bitten by one of his own, let me know and I’ll raise my glass in celebration.
