It's fascinating how most of us are somewhat acclimated to the fact that there are some terrible people out there, but when it comes to famous personalities, whether that would be talk show hosts or full-on Hollywood actors, our judgement gets a little clouded. Who can blame us – it's hard to imagine celebrities living a morally incorrect life when their life seems to be so flawless. We're used to seeing them on big screens, where no mistakes are allowed, so we automatically assume they could do no wrong. 

What doesn't help is their ability to have any potential scandal go away. Odd things they might've done get proclaimed as rumors, and the fans continue praising their favorites for their endless talent. 

However, this Reddit user decided to dive into the celebrity drama world and asked fellow users to reveal why they've happened to lose all their respect for a well-known personality. The post received almost 30K upvotes and over 24K comments worth of names.

Scientologist Celebrities

Actor holding an award on stage with microphone, relating to online community members losing admiration for celebrities.

After watching Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, any celebrity involved with the Scientology church is pretty off-putting.

    Dr. Phil

    Man wearing a black Alone Together cap and blue shirt, representing online community members discussing lost admiration for celebrities.

    Now I realize he just uses sick minded people for his own profit. He brought the creator of Bumfights on the show and kicked him off after showing up dressed as Dr. Phil. The guy said Dr. Phil and him did the exact same thing, Phil just hid it better. After seeing that clip, I have no respect for Dr Phil.

    Wendy Williams

    Celebrity in a pink dress posing outdoors near the Empire State Building, featured in online community members discussion.

    Wendy Williams she is just an ugly person on the inside and in general. She has threatened and belittled staff, farted on national TV and blamed a chair. She outed Method Man's wife for having cancer just to get ratings. Once she started catching heat now she's claiming she may have dementia or mental disorders and that's what caused her to do all the stuff she did. Total cop out those are just a few things.

    Prince

    Musician playing guitar on stage, illustrating online community members sharing why they lost admiration towards these celebrities.

    He met his ex-wife when she was sixteen (and declared he was going to marry her right then) and then put her on birth control at nineteen after they had “a really deep friendship” (yeah right) for three years. He later made her do an interview a week after their son died, threw that son’s ashes away, refused to let her get medical care for a miscarriage, and dumped her by the time she was twenty four. I love the man’s music, but I wish people would talk more about the hell that he put Mayte Garcia through.

    Oprah Winfrey

    Woman smiling and holding basket of fresh vegetables, illustrating online community members sharing why they lost admiration for celebrities.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Oprah Winfrey yet. Not only did she give a major platform to Dr. Oz & Dr. Phil, she also was good friends with Harvey Weinstein and kept her mouth shut about him, then went on to give a pro-Me-Too speech at the Oscars after he was arrested and got thunderous applause.

    Rebel Wilson

    Blonde woman in a mustard yellow sweater posing indoors, related to online community members sharing admiration loss for celebrities.

    My brother is a d-tier actor in Australia. Has worked with Rebel Wilson a fair bit. Said she’s the most unpleasant person he’s ever encountered. Makes everyone treat her like an absolute diva and runs through assistants like Epstein through massages. I didn’t have an opinion about her before he told me but it’s not an uncommon sentiment in the acting world. She had a body double for a film they were both in. She lost a bunch of weight before filming and became really opinionated about having somebody who accurately represented her idea of her body. She finally settled on somebody (this is usually the role of the casting crew based on your height and weight but she insisted she had final say). The body double showed up on set and Rebel decided the woman had put on weight between casting and filming. She grabbed the poor woman’s hips and stomach on the set and yelled at the casting crew for bringing “a hippopotamus on set” to represent her.

    Drake

    Man with beard and dark jacket in dim lighting, representing online community members sharing celebrity admiration loss.

    Drake. The ghostwriting. The supposed grooming of the Stranger Things girl. How he pretty much shunned his child and then would always talk about his dad leaving him and his mom. He also has gotten complacent with his music. He's like the personification of Pop Hop now. He kind of just style jacks whatever is popular rn instead of having his own style.

    Shia LaBeouf, I was one of the holdouts who argued he was misunderstood as an artist and a person. Soon as the FKA Twigs story came out I couldn’t bring myself to continue being a fan. Dude needs help and if we’re being real, probably needs to do time.

    Melissa Gilbert

    Woman with multicolored hair and glasses smiling, representing online community members discussing lost admiration for celebrities.

    Melissa Gilbert. My mother loved her in the 70s so one year I got her Gilbert’s cookbook and surprised mom by taking her to a book signing near where we live in the Midwest. She was over the moon excited to meet her. We finally get up to the table and Ms. Gilbert was rude to my mother, and hurried her through. Mom was crushed. I now will not watch anything with her in it. My mind goes back to the rude entitled woman she was.
