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.

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey

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.

10,000 upvotes with a cherry on top. She gave us two shysters who have wreaked havoc. Dr. Oz is loathed by actual medical practitioners, and Dr. Phil is only slightly less loathed by psych professionals.

Don't forget her early endorsement and addition to her book club in 2005 of “A Million Little Pieces,” his memoir about addiction and recovery, which turned out to be a complete fraud. At least that time she confronted him in person on her show but by then he'd sold 1000s of books.

I'm all for calling her out for Weinstein, but with Dr Oz and Phil,... I think we have to give her some leeway. In hindsight, sure we can see what pos's they are. But they weren't when they were originally hired. Dr Oz in particular was considered a genius in his field 20 years ago. It's only been in the past few years people are finding stuff out about him. Same with Phil. I don't agree with this thing going on where we shame people for not knowing ahead of time that some people in their lives are s**t. Serial killers get away with it for years because they're good at hiding it. Now Weinstein... she and many others deserve flack for that because his behavior was very well known, even to people who aren't in the industry. That is a case of being willfully ignorant and supporting someone who you know is doing horrible things.

Plenty of people have a mental illness and most of them don’t carry on like this self absorbed overgrown spoilt brat.

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.

Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson

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.

Read up on the FK Twigs thing and it sounds like he might be a narcissist: meet someone with all the traits they lack who is successful and popular, love bomb them (over the top romancing): isolate, break them down so they don't know which way is up and keep it up til they've got everything they need from the abused then discard them. She's lucky she had independent finances and was able to get out, many don't. Abuse isn't always physical.

Lea Michele

I got pretty into the TV show Glee in 2020 and I didn't know most of the cast beforehand, so It's not like I was a fan of anyone, but after I heard about Lea Michele's ugly behavior I was truly appalled. I don't know how anyone can support her.

In a nutshell, she disrespected a ton of people she have worked with, ever since she was a little girl. She threatened to fire people, belittled the staff, called them cockroaches, told a coworker she would "sh*t in her wig" and other nasty things. Shame, since she's a talented singer.
