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.

    And it was entirely pre meditated! The lyrics in his song "Stargazing", which was released long before the concert incident, say this. "And it ain't a mosh pit if ain't no injuries". Also in the same song, he shows his support for previously mentioned Ellen Degenerate by saying "We propellin', up top with Ellen". Just another piece of trash!

    Anyone who thinks he did anything different than any other artist is wrong. Some artists may handle these things better, but in my own two experiences the show just goes on. The first was a White Zombie show. They were playing at an old theater where the mosh pit was in the orchestra pit which is sunken so they aren't seen. My friend and I were young and didn't realize what we got ourselves into. We stayed on the edge and were out of the mix until the railing of the upper level broke and all the people came falling down on us. People were screaming and freaking out. I was kicked in the head and the face. Had we been unable kept our legs under us we would've been f**ked. Luckily, two big dudes literally picked us up and plowed through the crowd and got us to the side of the stage. Security didn't do s**t and the band played on. The second time, I was at a Pantera concert (nowhere near the pit this time). I had been outside in the sun all day and fainted from dehydration.

    911 was called and the EMT's literally came in and took me out on a stretcher. The music was still going then too. In both those situations, luckily no one died, but no one paid any mind to it either. It was business as usual. So either they didn't realize what was happening or didn't give a s**t. No different than Travis Scott.

Alot more people and responsibilities go into it then one stars name slapped on top. There was no way to control a mass of people that big, that fast. And he DID stop, but there is one "cut" of the clips that make it seem like he didn't . thats even more disgusting

    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.

    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.
