I wouldn't classify it as unfair because celebrities of all political beliefs have the exact same platform.
Celebrities have always been coveted for advertising because their fans admire them and appreciate hearing their views on any number of causes and charities. Non-fans just need to look away, change the channel, avoid their Twitter accounts, etc.
If you mean it's unfair that non-celebrities aren't given the same access to air their personal views, I'd say they're able to find an audience now more than ever with the ease of social media and YouTube channels.
