Because it’s hard for celebrities to not be in the public eye sometimes, it’s often the case that we get to see much of what’s happening in their lives—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Unfortunately, the ugly part often ends in some form of backlash from fans, followers, the general public or the industry itself, with certain celebrities getting “canceled”. But problems are never easy to unwrap and sometimes this “cancellation” is undeserved, or ends up being truly undeserved once it’s all over.

People on Reddit have been discussing celebrities who got canceled, but they couldn’t but feel bad for them and were actually saying how they didn’t deserve to be cancelled at all, or at least not any more, as asked by Reddit user u/Yung-Potter-XO on r/AskReddit.

Check out the best responses from the subreddit in the neat curated list below. And while you’re there, why not leave a comment and upvote the submissions you liked the most!

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Johnny Depp.

As a male that was in a relationship with an abusive woman, this whole thing breaks my heart.

I know how hard it can be to come out about, and how hard it is to be believed at all. And then of course, as soon as someone starts to put pressure on the abuser, suddenly all these allegations start coming out about you, and none of them true or accurate, but because she's a woman, she must be the victim right?

If my ex was upset about something, she'd rub the cat on my pillow (I'm allergic) so I'd be up all night coughing and wheezing. Then she'd s@#t on me for staying up late. Then give me s@#t for sleeping in the next day.

My ex used to punch me in the face while I was sleeping. She couldn't stand my snoring. I'd go to work in the mornings with a black eye. If she fell asleep first, it was ok, but she was always up late, so I'd have to go sleep on the couch. But she'd insist on staying up late and watching TV, so I couldn't sleep on the couch. I fell asleep on the bathroom floor once out of sheer exhaustion.

There's so many more examples, but the point is I feel for JD 100%

To be honest, it's pretty obvious that Depp is not abusive type of man and that Heard is very troubled and problematic. I don't think that solution for this is to point cases of women abusers because the goal is not anti-women witch-hunt. It's just to realize that abuser could be anyone regardless of gender or age. And that cases like this when accused has no any history of abuse but the one who accuses has, had to be examined carefully, in general all cases like this should not be evaluated by media or mob, they should be done on closed trials. No one is guilty until proven, right?

Problem with these comments is that they forget Johnny was found guilty and Amber innocent. Just because you read about this on the internet does not mean you know everything about the case. The judge made the decision based on ALL the facts, testimonials, witness statements, etc. But because he's a good looking man, a good actor and shows his vulnerable side, he's somehow the wronged one?

I'm not taking a side in the situation, but remember that they both have a history of outbursts and alcohol problems. Relationships are complicated, and the people in them are the only ones who truly know what happened.

He is a disgusting pig. I love how people can listen to this whole thing, his drunken attacks, pissing all over the floor, and only hear "but she set him up to throw his fit." That is what abuse victims do after they've had enough. They were toxic for each other, but he definitely deserved to be cancelled.

Do not get me started on female abusers! They make my blood boil! Always have, but especially now bcuz my boyfriend's ex-wife was and he's told me so many stories about being arrested bcuz of her. Idk why he always went back to her, he was a friggin 16yo kid, getting his a** beat by a 30 something year old woman! She was the security guard at his HIGH SCHOOL!! IMO she was a pedophile for that. But he was a tiny kid and she was not. He could fight, don't get me wrong, he was a scrapper when he was younger, but he NEVER WOULD AND NEVER HAS hit a woman PERIOD! He watched his dad beat the s*** out of his 9mo pregnant mother, and went straight into a relationship like that! They would always take him to jail no matter how bloody and battered he was, with her not even having a scratch! And this was back in the day before they had to take at least 1 person to jail for a DV call. Their reason... She was a mom and had kids to take care of! Un. Be. Lievable.

This was degrading to people who have truly been abused. I have 3 friends that were actually beaten by their husband's and it tore up their faces and their husband's did not wear rings. The thing about abuse victims is that they would never ever do anything to provoke their abusers. They would not talk back nor would they fight back other than defense effort. They were manic about cleaning, cooking etc to avoid setting off their spouse. The only reason they stayed was because they stayed home with their kids and had no money to leave and were too embarrassed to tell their family what was happening. Only when they were hurt to the point of being put in intensive care did their families find out and help them. Amber didn't have babies and had been employed before.

If anyone thinks Johnny Depp is some sort of abused puppy that is innocent in all of this mess, grow up. I have no doubt that Amber Heard is a manipulative, gold-digging abuser, but Johnny Depp is his own version of human garbage that can't get work in Hollywood anymore because of his disgusting behavior. If you don't believe me, check out the article “'He’s Radioactive': Inside Johnny Depp’s Self-Made Implosion". It lays the whole thing out, including Depp's dependence on an earpiece for his lines because he's always high, his being fired from Fantastic Beasts, and his insatiable need for revenge.

Except when you add his agent saying he's verbally abusive and that his behaviour is so erratic she can't get him parts. Or all of the damage control she's had to do on roles he did get. The physical allegations are almost certainly false, I grant readily, but emotional and verbal abuse are documented elsewhere and I don't know either of them well enough to know whether threatening occurred. My ex never hit me, but he told me regularly how much he wanted to.

Lots of people get into relationships with authority figures during lapses in judgement, but Monica has been the butt of a joke because of it for two decades because of her lapse in judgement.

S#$%#y situation, she deserves better.

Also, f$%k the person that said Lewinsky doesn't deserve better.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Kind of a unique case but: Laura Dern.

When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.

She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.

Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Sinead O'Connor

Spoke out against corruption and pedophilia in the catholic church very blatantly in a SNL act. Was completely removed from anything in the entertainment industry. Turns out instead of moral outrage people should have listened. I've seen in somewhat recent interviews that she is somewhat well adjusted despite it all. She knew it was going to cross a line when she did it, but she believes it pushed any investigation into such things forward and possibly gave people courage to speak up.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Mira Sorvino. She went from one of the most in-demand actresses after winning her Oscar, to being completely blacklisted because Weinstein was telling anyone who'd listen that she was a diva and impossible to work with.

When Peter Jackson was still making LotR through Miramax, Weinstein told him not to hire Judd or Sorvino, and Jackson believed him. Even when the movies eventually moved to New Line Cinema, he still believed what Weinstein had told him, and wouldn't work with them.

When #MeToo started snowballing, Jackson remembered what Weinstein had told him about the two and apologized to them for it.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Hana Kimura. She was an Indonesian-Japanese wrestler who often played the heel, and she wanted to be an actress. When she was offered a chance to be in the reality show Terrace House, she jumped at it.

As we all know, reality shows are scripted. In a scene, Hana (remember, a professional wrestler on a reality show) "slapped" removed another contestant's hat1 and scolded him. Her twitter and instagram accounts were overrun with awful comments, racist criticisms, and death threats for weeks, but over time it tapered off.

Part of a reality show producer's job is to know how the audience thinks of all of the stars. The company monitors media coverage and social media trends. They knew.

But right after quarantine started in Japan, they re-aired the episode.

Hana lived alone. When the abuse began again, it must have seemed endless. She apologized on social media, took her kitten to the Stardom Wrestling office, and went home to [take her own life].

She was 22.

Somebody should be punished for that. People who took these decisions should be told that they did wrong and failed their position of trust and knowledge. But as always, nothing happens, case closed, 90% people watching reality shows are still not correctly made aware that it's scripted or staged. And there's no limit of what human beings can be forced to do to each other...

I hated JarJar to the core of my soul. But I am sorry the actor suffered. JarJar is in no way his cross to bear.

I remembered him often since 2016. It's hard to imagine there was actually a time you could lose all presidential credibility just by shouting YEAHOOW.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Jenna Marbles. Basically people were angry at her old content that she made 10 years ago and while she's already apologized for her actions and addressed how she now understands why it's inappropriate, she felt that her presence on YT was causing more harm and it was too much to keep rehashing the same issue. She still streams with Julian all the time.

I miss Jenna. Grew up as she grew up and her ability to mature and grow helped me do the same.
