There’s just something about celebrities that makes us endlessly interested in the lives they lead. From reactions to the Met Gala outfits to The Oscars moments, we can’t seem to stop talking about them. Our obsession with famous people is everywhere. After all, there’s plenty of entertainment and lots to like when it comes to people in the public eye.
But as they say, reputation takes a lifetime to build and only a second to destroy. When celebrities fall from grace, devoted fans are on the lookout to express their disappointment, and one thread over on Ask Reddit proved to be the perfect outlet. A while back, user theresabeeonyourhat posed a question: "Who is a celebrity you used to admire, but no longer do, and why?"
Thousands of people delivered interesting responses and revealed the scandals and rumors that changed how they viewed their heroes. A small note of warning: we can’t guarantee whether some of these stories are facts or fiction, so remember to take everything with a grain of salt. Continue scrolling and be sure to weigh in on the topic in the comment section below!
Psst! If you're interested in even more celeb goodness, check out our earlier post about A-list celebrities who people no longer respect.

I was an Elon Musk fan.
Mass Effect is one of my favourite franchises, and I saw Elon and SpaceX as a way of achieving something like the future in Mass Effect.
Later I learned that he basically just takes all of the fame from the engineers, pumps and dumps crypto, is an idiot, and exploits the f**k out of his workers. He's a garbage human being that should shut up, and leave the companies he has as they have potential beyond his smug face.
I still like SpaceX and I think they will probably lead to our future in space exploration, but Elon is on top of my s**t list, just like most if not all billionaires and millionaires. Especially the ones that are garbage to the people that made their company what they are today.
Ok I agree, but also anyone else notice the man can smile upside down, and still look like he's smiling?
yes. he has a very very odd face.

People like him might be CEO, but people who take medicine for epilepsy, like me, have to deal with all the side effects on a daily basis. And the monetary costs are something else. And don't even get me started on my childhood brain cancer diagnosis.
Load More Replies...I live just 25 miles from Brownsville. It always made me uncomfortable with him living here in the Rio Grande Valley. Easily, we could be exploited. Texas taxes favor him and we're literally about the cheapest place you can live. I was starting to warm up when he attended our Charro Days but then I went back to never trusting him when he claimed Netflix users were leaving due to the content being "too woke". He has a lot of influence, so to say something as ignorant and divisive* as that... he's simply another rich dickkk playing his hand at power control. F that guy.
What do you mean by describing what he says as "diverse"?
Load More Replies...He said that himself even; hes making case for rich people to pay much more tax money, but ok :D
Load More Replies...Nicely put! He could be saving the planet but is too much of a selfish douchebag!
Might get dragged for this but Kanye West. His contribution to hip-hop music is undeniable, especially his first six solo albums and his work as a producer in the late 90s/early 00s. His public persona was always a bit annoying, but ultimately harmless.
2020 changed that. His presidential run was a bridge too far for me, especially since it was funded/managed by right-wing operatives who probably wanted to use him as a spoiler candidate. And the quality of his music has also diminished. Not a lot of redeeming qualities left to hold on to.
Tbh, I've never understood the allure of him. His music isn't that great and didn't really add much to the hip hop game. He had a couple good songs. He's always been a shitbag.
Load More Replies...He's always been a egomaniacal, narcissistic douchebag with a tenuous grip, at best, on reality. Always. While people have spent the better part of the past decade "canceling" everyone on the basis that "you can't separate the art from the artist" somehow this insufferable c*nt nugget has been allowed to become a billionaire. Remember when he hopped on stage during an acceptance speech at the VMA's to rant about how "beyonce should have won"? That was 13 years ago, and his personality has been a steady downward spiral since. Meanwhile, the high regard for his music has always baffled me, never saw it as anything special. It just seems like 2 decades of him stroking his ego shamelessly and aggressively at all times in public has hypnotized the masses into believing it as media outlets quote him without credit and give the impression that EVERYONE is singing his praises when all roads really lead directly back to him.
I never liked his music or anything else about him .... he's a total fraud . That time he said " I can only describe myself as a creative genius , that's the only way I can think of to describe myself" . ... pretty much exposed his b******t . I think a creative genius would be able to think of more than one way to describe themselves .... otherwise they're not very creative or geniusy , are they ?
Also his comments about slavery... I get that he's mentally ill (so am I) but for the love of God man, take your meds!
Not to mention his treatment of his ex-wife, his children, and of Pete Davidson. The guy is dangerous.
Load More Replies...And he interrupted a 19 yo girl winning an award (she publicly forgave him) and then he said made her famous (she was the one receiving the award) also faked a phone call that turned the world against her and made her depressed. In the end he got a 16k crown shout f*ck taylor, she got her audience in the biggest us tour ever sing “if a man talk s**t then i own him nothing”, i'd say she won.
He needs help. That whole thing about wanting to abort North was messed up.
Not to mention that he’s acting like a 15-YO boy whose girlfriend broke up with him… constantly using the power to his social media accounts to harass, threaten, stalk, and embarrass his ex and her new bf. He actually TOLD his followers to stop threatening to hurt Pete Davidson cuz he wanted to ‘handle Pete himself.’ This behavior has to be affecting his kids, he doesn’t give a s**t. Speaking of garbage human beings, his ex and her entire family are garbage human beings. I don’t care, nor feel sorry for them, when they get dragged for the photoshopping, vanity, and being cruel, shallow bitches. But this is different- no one deserves to be treated like this, especially in such a high-profile way. It’s abuse.
To find out more about our fascination with celebrity culture and our eagerness to learn more about their day-to-day lives, we reached out to Kelli S. Burns, Ph.D., an associate professor at the University of South Florida and author of Celeb 2.0: How Social Media Foster Our Fascination with Popular Culture. "Celebrities possess the qualities that many regular people desire, specifically money, fame, success, and physical beauty," she told Bored Panda.
"While celebrities lead glamorous lives enjoying beautiful homes, luxurious vacations, expensive restaurants, and designer clothes, fans are also fascinated with celebrities when their lives are seemingly relatable to regular people." The professor added that this is the reason why content like Us Weekly’s feature Stars—They’re Just Like Us! is so popular. Moreover, "Paparazzi photos of celebrities grocery shopping, walking dogs, and dropping children off at school remind us that celebrities aren’t perfect."
Gwyneth Paltrow. Her b******t pseudo health/anti-vax information she spreads is terribly incorrect and cringe worthy. It’s sad how many people are actually influenced by it as well.
I don't know what OP is talking about. I've always felt like the one thing that's missing in my life and in my apartment is a candle that smells like Gwyneth's vagina 🕯️
Why doesn't she just make a fleshlight of her vagina with the candle smell.and appeal to men, we can know what Chris Martin felt like
Load More Replies...NEVER got past her winning the academy award for Shakespeare in love over Cate Blanchett, Fernanda Montenegro, Meryl Streep, and Emily Watson. I mean COME ONNNNNN!!?!
I'm not entirely sure who she is, but spreading anti-vax news is harmful, no matter who does it, and it should be stopped.
I pretty much don't admire any celebrities. There are so many non-celebrity people in this world who are so valuable to me, to society, that deserve my attention and love.
Her health claims must be breaking laws ffs why isnt she held accountable ???
UGH She's insufferable. "Conscious Uncoupling"?? I adore her mom though :)
Her mom is so beautiful and classy. Now we know those traits aren't genetic.
Load More Replies...Loved her movie work until she became an anti-vaccine advocate. Her health advice is garbage.
Jennifer Lopez.
Many years ago, a friend of mine in Houston waited on her and her entourage at a very nice restaurant. She demanded that the place's very starstruck manager go to the store and get the kind of bottled water she liked, because she wasn't doing that tap bull***t and they didn't carry the kind she liked. She and her people needled the hell out of my friend until the manager got back from the store with it, and then complained when it wasn't served cold, even though he of course brought glasses of ice with it.
She ran my friend ragged, and laughed the whole time. B**ched and called him names at every opportunity. We were both servers at that point, and I'd gone to his restaurant and asked for him at times (hey, if you're gonna tip someone, might as well keep it in the family), so I know he was damned good at what he did. I saw how he treated all his tables. He loved his job and did his best at all times.
She and her friends stiffed him. Zero tip. After camping out at that table, in that private room that was given just to her and nobody else, for 3 hours. Just because she could.
I never liked her after that. "I'm just Jenny from the block" my *a*s*.
Not to mention she can't sing for shyt and her acting leaves something to be desired... how is she famous again?
Load More Replies...My thing is, I don't care if you are a celebrity or not. Treat my employees that way and you will be shown the door. I don't care who you are either...you will not be allowed back in either. I'd have video taped the entire thing and posted it.
I haven't read many positive things about her. She seems like a lot of work.
She seems like she's also had a lot of work done. I can't believe she's my age. (sigh.)
Load More Replies...Good advertising and a*s-sets. You forgot to mention her dancing. Just awful.
Load More Replies...She should be more humble. I remember when she was nothing more than a dancer on that old comedy show, "In Living Color."
and steals other peoples songs .An Especially nasty piece of work
Steals their songs, leaves there vocals on the track and then reaps all the monetary rewards. Awful .
Load More Replies...I've never understood the appeal of her. She's so bland looking, I think I could be sitting across from her on the train and not know who she was.
And people think she looks great for her age, thats called plastic surgery
It’s easy for us to show admiration to our favorite superstars and hope that one day we might become just like them. However, Burns explained that sometimes we get slightly too invested in our heroes' lives. "Some fans can experience a condition called celebrity worship, which is an extreme feeling of attachment to a celebrity," she noted.
"Celebrity worship often starts with parasocial relationships, which are one-sided relationships that fans feel when they experience celebrities via the media. Social media can intensify feelings of attachment because fans have increased access to a celebrity through the photos and videos shared not only by the celebrity, but also by other fans," she noted. It turns out that this unlimited access to celebrity lifestyles can increase desires among fans for what the people in the public eye possess.
Beyonce, how all her songs were about woman empowerment and irl she's paying Sri Lankan children pennies to make clothes and turning them into millions back home.
Could never look at her in a different light after knowing this.
Me neither, she’s always been an over exposed, over hyped, over rated, person. Also the way she was pushed to be the lead singer in Destiny’s Child when she only had the 3rd best voice always left a bad taste in the mouth, plus whenever they’re together for reunion appearances Bey always tries to steal lines from the other girls onstage. Urgh. Just no.
Load More Replies...Also, people have been begging her for years to hold a tour in Africa. Since she loves cashing in on her blackness. Nope. Not a single concert. Then again, most people might not be able to afford her usual tickets...
I remember a certain video which was filmed in Africa. This was probably the first and the last time she went there.
Load More Replies...I think some celebs ACTUAL talent is the ability to self-fabricate their own legendary/cult status. This imo is one of those cases.
I was today years old when I learned what IMO meant
Load More Replies...I have been yelling this off the rooftops for years now. I love the music, but: Female empowerment songs since Destiny's Child days (not reflecting in ANY aspect of her life). She also keeps preaching on black lives empowerment and then signs up to headline Coachella whose owner is infamously is a GOP mega donor for years now donates and anti LGBT+ rights.
Tom Cruise.
Dude went bonkers into Scientology. The s**t he did to his ex's is, to me, akin to what Britney Spears is going through.
And Nicole Kidman is denied seeing her two thanks to this twat and his faux religion.
Load More Replies...Same. I refuse to watch him in anything. Been that way for years.
Load More Replies...I can’t believe he still has a career after the way he acted on Oprah & on other interviews during that period. People are strange..
I shall make the EW list for your convenience (not in order): Face of Scientology, Napoleon, Oprah couch ape incident, same person in 9.9/10 roles, scary Ex, sh*t parent, Risky Business, MIDDLE TOOTH. My work here is done. 💁
Add shaming Brooke Shields and other moms for having ppd
Load More Replies...How on earth did this controlling abusive cult member survive the MeToo movement ??
Money and the backing of the very rich cult he is part of
Load More Replies...Tom Cruise is a f*****g psychopath and scientology is a f*****g cult full of treasonists and racists, tom cruise is just another one of those stains on this supposedly perfect world
I say the same about all scientologists. I always check if any of the actors are scientologists and if there is I don't watch anything they are in, even if I've watched older shows before the Internet so didn't know about then. After the way he just cut off all contact with his youngest i cancelled all scientologists.
Load More Replies...HIs mansplaining post-partum depression to Brooke Shields did it for me. Wasn't much of a fan before - decidedly NOT a fan since.
Agree. Had my own post partum problems. His ignorant declarations about the topic were a slap in the face.
Load More Replies...I know Scientology has always been wacko, but I don't pay much attention to cults as long they leave the rest of us alone. But it made me mad when they opposed a proposed law on the ballot in California for mental health funding. I got curious why and so I went to their website and the reason they gave for opposing it? "Most psychiatrists are rapists." Huh? Fortunately the bill passed. Ironically one of the main purposes for that money was to help expand SUPPORTIVE services, such as therapy and self-help programs. The psychiatrists are already paid by insurance or state medicaid in California.
Yeah he says that scientology is a religion but it’s more like a cult.
Total psychopath religion that controlls him 100% how is it not globally banned?
I'm gonna add Oprah.
I used to think she was just a regular daytime TV host who built up an empire and did a lot of good things.
Then I started noticing all the absolute bulls**t she shills and the damage it does (Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil being prime examples). She's blindly supported and promoted so many quacks and snakeoil salesmen that I can't even imagine how many people have been f**ked by her endorsements.
But everyone loves her because she occasionally throws some money around.
I don't think many people actually like her. She's more of a meme these days than anything else
Load More Replies...Dr.Phil and Dr.Oz are absolutely horrible, but THE prime example of her detrimental impact on society is having Jenny McCarthy on to peddle anti-vax BS. While the "study" that started it all gained attention in the late 90's, the author retracted the paper, and publicly denounced the findings by 2001. While idiots continued to cite that paper, they were very much a niche group that the majority of people ignored...until 2008 when Oprah had JM on her show (who alluded to that retracted study) that was the catalyst for the current anti-vaxx idiocy, driven by oprahs stable of morons who treat everything she says and promotes as gospel. The only thing worse then oprah are all the mental midgets that adore her.
I am so glad that someone besides my self remembers Jenny Mccarthy's bs. She should be locked up for all the harm she is responsible for. Every time a reporter talks about antivaxxers, her name should be mentioned.
Load More Replies...And i read somewhere that she knew about Hervey Weinstein and keep her mouth shut. Like everyone in the industry. Bastard pig ( no offense to pigs though)
I hated the way that she literally forced her mother to meet the daughter she gave up for adoption. Her mother denied having another daughter until oprah confronted her with DNA proof, mother finally admits that Oprah has a half sister but mother doesn't want to meet her, cue more guilt tripping from oprah until the mother caves in. What makes me angry is for years Oprah herself lied for years about having a son that she gave up, has made it clear she has no interest in meeting him or knowing anything about him, exactly how her own mother felt about the daughter she gave up until Oprah ignored her feelings and only saw viewing figures.
I didn't realize this when I was younger. I used to be a huge Oprah fan. Later realized she is basically a capitalism queen
Load More Replies...She doesn't throw money around, sponsors do. Like with the car giveaway, those came free from the manufacturer but she didn't even bother to pay the taxes on those despite the massive publicity it gave her so most had to sell them to pay the taxes.
"While parasocial relationships are considered normal, celebrity worship can have detrimental consequences for both the celebrity and the fan when taken to the extreme," she noted that unhealthy levels of celebrity obsession often come with a cost. "A celebrity may become the victim of an obsessed fan who becomes a stalker. Fans who worship celebrities often suffer from poor mental health, although it’s not clear whether the obsession caused the mental health issues or the mental health issues caused the obsession."
Bill Cosby.
I'm not sure if those asking for "why" are being serious, but I'll go ahead and add it. Because I grew up with his comedy and The Cosby Show and absolutely loved him. When the accusations against him started to come out I gave him the benefit of the doubt for as long as I could. There was just too much evidence against him. Broke my heart.
Same. We can still admire Mister Rogers, though. And I very much do.
Load More Replies...Heartbroken as well. We lost a hero and gained mistrust for someone who influenced us as a profound comedian and our GODDAMN DAD!
After this I realized it's probably not a good idea to put any famous person, dead or alive, up on a pedestal. They may have done something great, but if you dig deep enough, you will find something disappointing at best, disgusting at worst.
Load More Replies...He always ranted about how young people use foul language, have no manners and don't dress appropriately. But apparently rape and assault is just fine. He ruined so many lives.
A lot of older people are like they seeno wrong I there self no matter how much proof you show them. How much they know. Some people are just dumbass until it all fall apart for them then there crying about it and that even seem fake. Sad truly is. Sick AF to
Load More Replies...I grew up listening to his old stand up routines that my dad had bought in the 60s and 70s. When the allegations came out I suddenly remembered all the jokes he used to tell about drugging women with "Spanish Fly".
I had no idea. My dad listened to those records. I feel a little ill.
Load More Replies...I half grew up with his shows, I started watching them when I moved to America. The one I feel like this about, how you guys are describing your disappointment is Kevin Spacey. I watched all his movies, his Netflix shows, interviews, I couldn't breath when all those allegations started coming out. It's sad what humans can do, I always give try to give the benefit of the doubt, after all, I'm nothing but a speck in this universe and no one to judge. The crimes that kill me though, are those against children, when things happen to them their whole life and perspective is tainted, a mind tampered with, a body a mind disrupted it's own natural progression of growth.
Yes this is very sad Hollywood in the end has been and is a sick place the things that have happened there haven't happened there and it been going on since forever. Since Shirley timple days. It even happened to her 🥺
Load More Replies...I was such a fan of his ability to tell jokes as stories....studied him when I did standup. Loved what he did for education. But finding out what he was crushed all of that. I despise him and really hate that he destroyed the positive things he did because he felt so entitled to do to women whatever he wanted without their consent. B**tard.
This one broke my heart for real. I lost my dad when I was a kid so he was like, my dream dad for an entire decade 😥
Eric Clapton for his music, until I found out he was a racist, anti-vaxx idiot.
One of the best news story comments I ever read, (I wish I could take credit for it) was this: "Eric Clapton would have had no problem taking the vaccine, if only they had called it 'George Harrison's Wife'."
racist comments from someone who has made hundreds of millions off dirt-poor Black Delta musicians.
Good grief me too. I was so disappointed when I learned he didn't have a brain. 😭
He had an obsession with George Harrison of the Beatles. Everything George had, Eric wanted, including his wife. Disgusting human being.
This was a big shame as I have seen him live and he was amazing. Even his own bass player wants nothing to do with him
Fantastic Guitarist, Absolute s**t show of a human being, Sorry about your son Eric, but he'd be ashamed if he knew what you were
Plus what he did to that poor widow that tried to sell her husbands bootleg album.
Quentin Tarantino.
I just heard his interview on the Howard Stern Show, and he was defending Roman Pulanski in the worst ways, saying she wanted it, she bragged about it, etc.
The girl never wanted it or asked for it, and Pulanski was 43 while she was 13. As disgusting as Howard & his crew can be at times, they were clearly in horror cause they gave him chance after chance to realize how f****d up his line of thinking was, but he wasn't having it.
A 13 year old wanted it from a 43 year old man. Yup sounds right 👍🏻 (yeah I know some of us were horny 13 year olds (i was) but really?)
Even Horny 13 year olds know that they would not want this to happen to them. Wtf is wrong with tis guy?
Load More Replies...I was a huge fan of his movie. I lost all respect for him when he admitted he knew about what Harvey Weinstein was doing but didn't say anything.
When even Howard Stern thinks you’re a pervert it’s time to reevaluate your whole life
Dude, if she's thirteen and you're 43, you tell her no, even if she asks.
Stern implored that a 13yo child cannot give consent. While “the guy who has the personality & character you think he does” doubled down on little girl having fully developed cognitive ability to use her sexual agency, Stern gave him every open to see how disgusting the very idea was. Also, there is homage and influence in many filmmakers work. However, when they copy scenes right down to dialogue, mis en scene and blocking, that’s called “ripping off.” Maybe a better, more polished appropriation, but still not original or deeply creative.
Doesn't matter if she did want it, or if she did brag about it... she was a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD. He's a c**t and there's no other way to view it.
What do you expect? The majority of his movies have rape. He's played a rapist himself a few times as well.
Yes yes this right here 👐👏his movies are all f****d up
Load More Replies...My only surprise about the Roman Polanski thing was why was he the only one that got in trouble for it back then?? All of those legendary actors and directors in the 70's, as well as pretty much every rock star were OPENLY having sex with very young teenagers. 2 of the biggest rock groupies, were 12 and 13. No one did anything. So sad.
When asked why people stop respecting their beloved celebrities, the professor mentioned it’s important to remember that they are regular people who also make mistakes. However, their slip-ups are more likely to trend on Twitter and be discussed in entertainment news and by everyone online. "Fans often stop admiring celebrities when they realize their values are not in line with those of the celebrity," Burns added. "For example, the celebrity might make a racist comment, cheat on a spouse, … or resort to physical violence."
"Fans idolize celebrities and put them on a pedestal where they are seemingly immune to mistakes. When celebrities are involved in a scandal, fans can feel hurt because their perception is now out of line with reality. Being disappointed in someone you admired and respected is a natural reaction when they make a mistake."
I’m surprised to not see them mentioned yet but Caitlyn Jenner. The support for her when she came out and she was honestly brave enough to do it. And then 2016 happens and she’s spewing about taking away LGBT rights and continuing to do so in her wanna be political career. To me she came across as someone who was willing to bite the hand that fed her.
Why tf does she want to take away our rights if she is a part of our community? Edit: this blew up unexpectedly
The filthy rich are never part of your community. She can do whatever she wants because she's famous anyway, she doesn't need rights, she's bought them.
Load More Replies...Trans people are people - remember? That means that there are good ones and bad ones. Jenner is one of the bad ones. Too rich and too entitled. I don't think gender even comes into it.
yes-there are some people who believe that minorities (POC, LGBTQ+, etc) can do no wrong
Load More Replies...Jenner and Kardashians are among the most horrible people in the world.
*does extreme math* That doesn't make sense!
Load More Replies...The Kardashians (except Kim, I support her prison reform), are all just white bitches who think they're f*****g relatable but they're all just more rich people who have no respect for anyone
Kim can still be a white b***h who thinks she's f*****g relatable and have no respect for anyone AND do something good for prison reform though.
Load More Replies...Fyi, using "they" to refer to Caitlyn is also misgendering. If you don't know someone's pronouns, it's okay to use they/then when referencing them (like "who left their laptop unattended?"). But if you know someone's pronouns, using different pronouns is misgendering.
Amber Heard cause I loved her work in Aquaman, everyone knows why we hate her now.
I don't think she did well in Aquaman. It's just my personal opinion but I think she was dry as cardboard.
She has little depth as an actress, and is not even memorable physically. She's a generically beautiful woman with very little personality or character. I don't understand what Johnny ever saw in her.
Load More Replies...Even if she wins the case, or if she is right in any way I'm still canceling her. Not because of what she did to Johnny, but because she can lie to millions, try to alter the reality. Only God knows how many victims of real abuse will be denied in the future because of her lies and behaviour in general.
Don’t like her. But then again I don’t like JD either. Both are f-ing crazy. Cue the downvotes in 3,2,1…
I actually had no opinion on either of them. I do think they were not suited for each other. The both of them together are definitely crazy. I'll join you in the downvotes Rabbit.
Load More Replies...She can't act at all. In the new version of "The Stand", she played Nadine, and I never thought someone written so well and played so well originally (by Laura San Giacomo in the '90s mini-series) could be so flat and boring. So while I'm not a Depp fan, I dislike her simply because she cannot act.
Laura San Giacomo was the best! Her acting is what I remember the most from the mini-serie.
Load More Replies..."loved her work" in Aquaman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why does it sound like she wrote that part? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
James Corden. I used to think his self deprecating style and his ingenuity with comedy and the carpool karaoke idea were great. Then I saw story after story from fan encounters where he is a complete and utter douche. Now that I know he's a fake, his schtick is unwatchable.
Edit: as one responder pointed out, I forgot about the time he played the question game with Jimmy Kimmel and couldn't name two of his own cameramen.
Huh? I had no idea. I was still a fan like 2 minutes before reading this :(
He's a talent vampire .uses other people talent to make himself look funny
i want to up vote this more !! He used Ruth Jones and took so much credit for her work . He has no talent what so ever !
Load More Replies...Was a bore in the UK, and now we exported this bore to USA. Now we sold the Nigel (prick) Farrage and Piers Morgan, servers the yanks right for voting for creepy raping racist Trump.
Going to America ruined him, his ego got too big and he let success go to his head. He's been all over British TV since his Gavin and Stacey days and always seemed down to earth and genuine (he basically seemed like an older version of the class clown.) He moved to the US and changed so much, too much money and fame ruined him
Watch him on panel shows like Big Fat Quiz. He's unbearable. The minute anyone else starts to talk or make a joke he has to jump in and talk over them because he just can't stand sharing the spotlight.
I just learned about his b******t behaviour recently. Wasn't shocked but find him terribly unfunny now. Please don't tell me that witty shamer Jimmy Carr is a Paedo.
I don't think Carr is a paedo. He is, however, a know tax cheat.
Load More Replies...I loved him in the two episodes of Doctor Who. I'm not british (obviosly, look at my bad spelling) so that was my firat encounter with that loveable goofball. But when I watched him in other things and interviews his fake hysterical laughter just rubbed me the wrong way. Just like Jimmy Fallons fake laughing.
According to Burns, those who follow the lives of famous people should consider whether their admiration and interest is a healthy or unhealthy practice. "For some fans, a celebrity may inspire them to follow their dreams of becoming a musical artist, Broadway actor, or film director. Many celebrities also support causes that fans might benefit from knowing more about, such as mental health."
"At the same time, fascination with a celebrity can cross the line into an unhealthy obsession where fans spend an inordinate amount of time trying to interact with celebrities online or feel depressed about their own lives when comparing themselves to celebrities," the professor concluded.
Demi Lovato. They act like everyone is responsible for their triggers. Taylor Swift isn't fatphobic for drinking diet coke. A Fro-Yo shop isnt fat shaming people for offering diabetic-friendly options.
The worst part is that Demi has also supported using detox/skinny teas but then says that these people are promoting eating disorders.
Can’t stand her, all she ever talks about is herself and her problems. So self centred
I'm fat and I drink Diet Coke. Am I fatphobic now? I'm so confused. (btw, I also used to drink Diet Coke when I was skinny )
I agree that they’re terrible, but we should still try using their correct pronouns. As far as I can tell they’ve only publicly changed them once (please inform me if not), and it’s just common decency. (Probably going to get downvoted for this but oh well)
She also claimed she had an eating disorder, because...diet ads? If you had an eating disorder, it was more than seeing ads you didn't care for.
PSA: you can hate someone without misgendering them. Edit: Please see C. Douglas's comment below. Demi recently updated their pronouns on social media to they/them/she/her. I was not aware of this change when I made my comment.
I feel badly for this very immature, insecure and confused young woman so addicted especially to public validation. She's trying so very hard to stay in a limelight that is the same limelight that has created most of her dysfunction. I just don't get it. Take the money and run to the nearest yurt for a decade and turn your insides around. Geez. 😔
She also is very stuck up. She will flat out yell at kids to get away from her when all they want is to say hi. She told one contestant on AGT that he had a horrible singing voice only to have him quip back of "I don't have an auto-correct like you do Demi!" That man was my hero!
That girl is whacked in the head. First she can't decide which f*****g pronoun she wants to identify as then she tells everyone calling an alien an alien is racist and derogatory
Kevin Spacey. I used admire the s**t out of his acting skills and still do, but then the allegations came out about his inappropriate relationships with youngish boys. His excuse in the "apology?"
"Oh, I'm gay."
Sorry dude, that's not gonna fly. I don't care about the gay part, but implicitly trying to use that as a reason to forgive the other? Just, no.
'San Quentin Quail' they called us back in the '50's. We were/They are a No No! It's not consensual 'cause they can't consent. Leave the Kids Alone!
I always hated him. Always. Watching anything with him in it gave me the screaming heebie-jeebies. But I could never articulate why - just that he was creepy beyond the telling of it. When the story broke, I was like, "Oh." I mentioned this once on a FB thread and someone responded, "Why didn't you do anything?" Um, what? Call the police in the US from *Africa* and say, "Kevin Spacey is creepy, please arrest him!"?!!
I totally agree with you. He creeped me out. I wasn't sure if it was good acting or if I was seeing the eyes of a predator?
Load More Replies...I love what Billy Eichner said about him (and I'm paraphrasing): "Congratulations, you just found the only wrong way to come out of the closet."
Well, if it's boys he's interested in, then he's not gay. He's a pedophile. Those should NEVER be allowed out of the closet.
Load More Replies...Four more allegations here in the UK. Trying to extradite him at the moment.
I was just going to comment about that - just saw the news about it a couple of days ago.
Load More Replies...I don't care if Kevin spacey is actually gay, using a sexual identity as an excuse to commit atrocious acts for some f*****g shits and giggles is one of the most appalling and disgraceful acts ever
This one does hurt, I always held him as one of the great actors of my generation, and HoC was an absolute masterpiece due to him, then…… (sigh)
Apologies go like this and this alone: 1. What I did was wrong. 2. I'm sorry for hurting you. 3. What can I do to help you recover from this? (do NOT give any "excuse" and do not blame the victim no matter how tempted you are to do so)
And what about the men who brought their allegations of sexual assault? Some of them have died. He just thinks that is funny. Stay far away from this evil being.
Dr. Phil. I wasn't the biggest fan but I did admire him. It's been a few weeks since I learned how he treats those vulnerable people in his asylums(Ranches??)
I know that when he sends troubled teens to one of those ranches they are treated awfully. Firstly the teens are kidnapped in the middle of the night, put in handcuffs and they have no idea what's going on until they get there. Secondly the staff is abusive and one person even claimed she was sexually assaulted by the staff.
Load More Replies...He’s a vulnerability vampire. He preys on people with circumstances that make it difficult to deny what he offers. His whole MO is exploitive and then he goes and promos unscientific treatments and devices. He’s a celebrity and has all the negative qualities that sometimes comes with that title.
He's not even a real doctor! And should never have been allowed to treat people as though he was a healthcare professional. As a brit I never understood why Americans liked him, his show was ridiculous and seemed to exist as a way to basically shame, bully and judge vulnerable people. The ranches were nothing more than a way to abuse already vulnerable people and everyone involved in the running of them should be in prison.
He has a doctorate in clinical psychology. But he had to give up his license to do the show because of privacy laws. That said, he has done a lot of questionable things with his show.
Load More Replies...We can thank Oprah for making this guy go mainstream. He was pretty much a nobody until he began making regular appearances on her show.
He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology but is no longer licensed. Now he's doing exactly the opposite of what he should do: Help people.
Ugh. I don’t know why anyone would still support him and know what was going on without being secretly paid or something. He doesn’t even have the right qualifications, and he exploits and enables people to the max. I will admit, though, that his accent is mighty fun to do when making fun of him
Ellen DeGeneres.
I thought she was really wholesome, and watching her show used to make me feel warm and fuzzy but then I started getting really soul-leeching sort of vibes from her and now it just feels like she’s using people. I’m sure it’s always been like that…I mean, she’s there to be paid to entertain people, after all.
I’m sorry I don’t have concrete examples but I get real psychic vampire vibes from her (á la Colin Robinson from What We Do In The Shadows).
I loved her stand up comedy. The talk show was pretty awful as you said. I cannot agree with you more, and thanks for the Colin Robinson reference, she most likely is a Psychic Vampire.
I loved watching her show, until Covid happened. Her, sitting in her lounge whining and carrying on about how she and Portia had to stay home.... tough gig in a multi million mansion!
I liked when she tried to whine that Dakota Johnson hadn't invited Ellen to her birthday party and where was her invite and blah, blah, blah. Then Dakota straight-up calls her out and says "That's not true. You WERE invited" and "I didn't even think you liked me". Broke my heart for Dakota, inviting this person and Ellen not showing up to her party...Dakota wondering if Ellen even liked her at all....and then for Ellen to have the absolute audacity to call Dakota out on national TV, in front of a live audience that kisses her butt...and to "tease" Dakota that she hadn't invited her/had snubbed her. What a b***h.
Load More Replies...She set off all kinds of alarms with her Game show...That was just game after game after game of nightmare material and she seemed to really enjoy causing contestants discomfort.

How about the time she made fun of Sofia Vergara's accent and English speaking? Or corrected Hasan Minhaj on the pronunciation of HIS OWN NAME? Or "outed" Mariah Carey's pregnancy live on the show, to which she later suffered a miscarriage...which is why she was not yet ready to announce her pregnancy, having suffered multiple miscarriages previously? She is an absolute psychopath and treats people like s**t. I totally agree, how she treated Taylor Swift broke my heart. :-( Ellen deserves to be "cancelled". https://decider.com/2020/08/03/ellen-show-akward-moments-with-guests/

Well that's what narcissists do, right? They turn the blame back on the victim.
Load More Replies...There are quite a few first hand accounts about her being flat out abusive to her staff. Oh and don't forget the time she literally outed someones pregnancy against their will on her show by pushing for them to drink.
And the guest later suffered a miscarriage....having suffered multiple miscarriages previously as well was precisely the reason that she was NOT READY to announce her pregnancy. Deplorable behavior.

Roman Polanski.
I saw The Pianist when I was very young and it was one of the first movies I saw that taught me just how powerful movies could be. It kicked off my love of film.
Then I read about what he did to that child… sick f**k belongs in prison.
Drugged and raped a 13 yr old girl at Jack Nicklesons house during a party. He then ran to France to avoid extradition and all the Hollywood pedos defend him.
Load More Replies...No excuse for what he did, but I really think Manson killing and mutilating his wife (Sharon Tate) & unborn baby had to have f****d him if up badly. Unfortunately, getting therapy wasn’t something people did in 1969. He was just expected to suck it up, ‘cause that’s what we did then; especially if you were a man. While I do feel badly for his victim and what he did to her, I can only feel pity for him. Again, not a pass, but I do think that’s the pivotal moment where everything fell apart in his life. It’s not something you just get over
A lot of us lowly people have gone through horrible things, but, we did'nt turn into rapists! Rich and famous think they do what they want and not pay for it.
Load More Replies...Also, while it makes nothing excusable, it's hardly surprising he was a mess, quite apart from the Manson killings. As a child his mother cut a hole in the fence of the Warsaw Ghetto and put him out the day she was taken to a death camp. He grew up abused on a farm and then on the street until after the war when he discovered only one uncle had survived. Then drugs and sex drive did their damage, but he did serve the sentence he was condemned to
Ok I will not defend what he did, though I point out, as others have, that his "victim" believes that THE SIGNIFICANT GAOL TIME HE HAS ALREADY SERVED for this crime is enough. He fully cooperated with law enforcement and served the time he was sentenced to, which wasn't enough by today's standards but was normal for the time. It's only because of his public profile that the US judicial system sought to retry him, and he left the country. Still find him slightly abhorrent but am in awe of his film career.
Moved this from comment on Tarantino: Part of the problem: "Geimer has publicly forgiven Polanski, who gave her pills & alcohol & then had unlawful sex with her in 1977 at the residence of Jack Nicholson. Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978 before sentencing in court, Geimer has testified that Polanski should be sentenced to “time served” and not face another trial should he return to the U.S. In 2014, she wrote a memoir, The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski. “What I was really trying to say to those who called is, I don’t care. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not upset, this and worse has been happening to me for years. I am aware my rape is being used to attack him & I really don’t like that,” Geimer said ...Then these POS you don't hate but ought to: Actor Harrison Ford accepted an award for Polanski. celebrities Meryl Streep, Whoopi Goldberg, Natalie Portman spoke out in his defense. Polanski won Best Director in 2020 for “J'accuse” which was a box office hit in France
Polanski is a pig but Geiger was the victim. If she doesn’t want Polanski to face another trial, in which she would have to testify, her wishes should be respected.

Mel Gibson for his drunken anti-Semitic rant.
As disgusting as what he said was, I kinda know where it came from... His father. Hutton Gibson was a vile human being, spewing hatred his entire life. Anytime Mel Gibson had too much to drink his abusive father's words spewed out. Anyone who has been raised in that kind of environment will have that whirling around in their minds for a lifetime. Alcohol or any other substance that lowers your inhibitions would cause that to come out of your mouth. Even Mel's ex-wife said he was a different person when he drank, and it's sad that person was his Nazi-loving father... I know it'll be an unpopular comment but sometimes there's more to the story.
they also say, in vino veritas. who you are when you drink is you without inhibitions. without that part of your brain that says "hmmm... maybe I shouldn't share that disgusting, racist opinion."

Remember the time at around Forever Young and Braveheart when Mel was the Richard Gere of the times? All these men.. I went back and saw all those movies with these so called hot shots.. when I reached Fifth Element and a middle aged Bruce Willis was making out with a 20-something Jovovich at the end..

Yeah, he's antisemitic, sexist AND racist. Told his ex that he hopes she gets raped by a gang of hard N words. So...let's add those to the list for this P O S.
He paid the insurance for Robert Downey Jr. back when studios didn't want to hire him because of his drug problem. We all know though that you can only criticize Islam in the west and not Judaism or Zionism.
Another one whose movies I avoid. I can't separate his a$$hole behavior from the character on the screen.
Kat von D. I thought she was so pretty and a talented tattoo artist. She's just a racist anti-vaxxer nutjob.
So tired of these “badass, edgy” antivaxxers. Like, grow up. We’re not in high school anymore, this is real life.
All of these anti-vaxxers should have to publicly defend their efforts after hearing out the stories of people who have lost love ones needlessly. Please don't down-vote me for this. I am aware that vaccines alone may not have changed some outcomes however it's one of our only defenses and if you have the ability to influence, you may convince people to avoid that defense.
I cannot believe we're living in the same planet. Ativaxxers should live in a asylum.
Load More Replies...Anti-vax has become some weird edgy statement and doesn’t seem to have anything to do with medicine anymore. My sister took 10 vaccines 10 yrs ago to go on a trip to Africa and now shes refusing to take 2 to prevent harming my newborn. What a world.
Used to watch LA Ink. After several episodes I couldn't stand her but watched for the other cast, especially that blonde girl they hired and picked on. I lost respect for Kat when she berated that girl for wanting a tattoo that she thought was pretty, and not for some deep, profound, life-altering symbolism agenda she was hell-bent on maintaining. And I get cancer is terrible, but she talked about it constantly and at every opportune time she can squeeze it into a conversation about someone else's problems, as if she thinks she matters the most.
Narcissism is a trait...not necessarily a diagnosis/mental illness, @NotTodaySatan!!

She made a statement about being wrong and misinformed about the vaccine, and admitted that she shouldn't have made any posts about her stance at the time. I don't know about the racist stuff, though, but you can find the other info in a Google search. For what it's worth.
Her apologies were not sincere. They were damage controle and I'm still not buying it. The apologies or her cosmetics, even though they renamed the brand after her statements

Hate the term "antivax". I am completely vaxxed for everything but Covid19. Being suspect of new medicines/therapies is nothing new. And I prefer not to be a test subject for it.
Literally BILLIONS of doses have been administered at this point. Would you rather be a guinea pig for Covid19 illness? Maybe contract "long haul syndrome"? Beg for the vaccine when it's too late and they're preparing to put you on a ventilator...that a good portion of patients will never come off of, again? I totally felt the same apprehension in the beginning....but BILLIONS of doses have successfully been administered....and they have without a doubt saved countless lives. #gratefulforscience

He behaved appallingly towards her and never really accepted that he was the father despite the evidence that he was. A truly disgusting man.
Load More Replies...This is one of those instances where "people are complicated" His personal life has nothing to do with his achievements, nor does it negate them. You can respect and admire aspects of a person, or what they've accomplished without condoning 100% of what they say, think, feel or do. Everyone has flaws, everyone has shortcomings. Everyone, without fail has at least one person that loathes them, merited or not. There are plenty of people who who's impact on the world and society at large primarily negative (see:Oprah) but this notion that celebrities or public figures or...anyone really are supposed to be models of perfection, and failing to live up to that standard in any way means they should be vilified and written off completely is just dangerous thinking.
That's awful, I get leaving your wife, but leaving your wife BECAUSE she has cancer is super f*****g wrong, I honestly can't believe I'm writing this comment on a MacBook Air after what he did, his wife probably died alone
Also, he apparently REEKED. No one wanted to be near him bc he went through this "all fruit" diet and thought that by sticking to eating only fruit, he didn't need deodorant? Something like that. Just a gross human being that treated the people closest to him (and obviously, others) like s**t who eventually died a horrible, well deserved, death
Agree with everything but the deserved death part. That's just low. Be better than that.

I cringed every time I saw her on America's Got Talent. She appeared to think she was the star of the show. (My opinion only)
Yes! She did! I saw one episode where a contestant roasted her, pretty much saying what you said. It was hilarious.
Load More Replies...She’s a bully and a narcissist and a notorious s**t-shamer. I wouldn’t p**s in her mouth if she was dying of thirst.
I enjoyed the early seasons of Top Model and I enjoy the overall concept, the artistry is amazing, but I had to stop watching because it eventually became the Tyra Banks Show. It was disgusting how she kept turning every challenge about her in some form (yes, you 'invented' the term Smize, we get it). Contestants would be eliminated due to disagreeing with her opinion. I'm sure there is also a reason why there were new judges after a few years ...
I lost a lot of respect because of how the contestants were treated. Like the episode they dressed one up as an elephant because they were picking on her weight the whole episode. She wasn’t even fat - just liked to have a bagel for breakfast. They pushed models to practically starve themselves. Then there was the whole makeover bit at the beginning. They would purposely single out at least one for a look that didn’t suit them. I remember they gave one model a weave, which started falling out almost immediately and made her keep it for way too long, which negatively affected her photos.
Oh Tyra is a massive bully. Just listening to her on America's next top model made it clear she was jealous of the younger girls and for that, she dishes out dirt all the time. In her heart, she won every season of that show.
Remember that time she dressed in a fat suit and cried about it because she was "ugly"?
She started a MLM make-up business that failed but not before it sent some people seriously broke
Marilyn Manson .

I’m glad I saw him before we learned what an abusive, hateful, nazi shitbag he is.
All the fun stories are old. He was a fun guy but the drugs and fame went to his head. No one from the old scene can believe what he became.
never liked him in the first place, his music was lame and annoying, and now hearing this about him I'm not surprised
He borrowed my friend’s phone charger and never returned it. Rude!
You're doing the same like what happened with Johnny Depp. Only allegations nothing is proven.
Well, I personally think Depp is indeed a drugs addict but not an abuser. Manson... well... it's no surprise to me. First of all MM is not sued yet I guess, but it was already known that he has a narcissist side, drugs addict too and antisemitic. He loves to see women in a vulnerable state.

Mario Lopez.
I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and there is a move called “knee on belly” which is exactly what it sounds like. Typically when you’re training, you don’t go full force because its an a*****e move especially when you’re training. Well, Mario was at my gym one day and he decided to go full force on me and I heard some snap crackle and pop sounds coming from my ribs which led to my rolling around on the floor for a bit. He never checked on me or apologized for doing that.
It takes a special kind of human to lack that much empathy to completely ignore someone writhing in pain that you clearly inflicted.
Ever since then I can physically feel my blood pressure rise whenever I see Extra or Access Hollywood or whatever cr**py show he hosts.
We all knew he was a douche when his first marriage to the doritos girl was annulled within 5 minutes
1. hope your rib cage is ok! 2. that man sounds like a f*****g sadistic psychopath
That's f'd up! Broken ribs are the worst pain! He should be shot for being an arrogant d!@k for doing that
Exactly that's why it's called training, any self defence should only be used for this purpose or at least when both partners agree to full strength for a move or exercise or training fight etc!
Hyde was my favorite character on That '70s Show, but now Danny Masterson is a r**ist Scientologist, so f**k that noise.
His wife Bijou Phillips is also an awful human being (harassed her husbands victims and posted s**t about them on her Instagram). She also refuses to believe that her sister Mackenzie Phillips was raped by their father. Also she bullied an actor in the set of a movie. She’s a real piece of work.
It's crazy how many people are manipulated by that f*****g racist cult that should be destroyed and all the people arrested for immoral acts
I loved his character on That '70s Show. When I heard about whst he did, I was crushed. Why aren't there any good people anymore?
Because you are talking Hollywood here, the place where all the attention-seeking narcissists head to make their fortune (or not). When they make it, they become even more of what they are, which is generally not a good thing. That's not saying that there aren't good people who are NOT mentally ill in Hollywood. There are, but those are the ones usually just live their lives in quiet, so they have to be hunted by photographers to get their pics in the papers/mags.

He’s the kind of entitled that thinks that it’s normal for everyone and doesn’t realize he’s entitled
Ben Stiller IS hilarious in my opinion, but as a human being he's off the f*****g walls
Cannot STAND this guy. I don't find him funny in the least & every role I've ever seen him in is just offensively stupid.
To be fair, he didn't say nepotism doesn't exist. To paraphrase the original quote, it was closer to "Nepotism only gets your foot in the door; talent and hard work is what keeps you in the room."
I understand completely, but maybe because he so used to it and being grown into this environment maybe he just doesn't realize it?
Jared Leto. Used to be a huge 30 Seconds to Mars fan (still love the first 3 albums), and he seemed like a solid guy from the interviews I had seen back in the day.
Over time though I started to realize how pretentious he is. Like he has some Bono-complex, he sees himself like some profound artist who is changing the world.
know the difference between God and Bono? God doesn't walk around Dublin thinking he's Bono
Sure people have massive egos and it can be annoying when celebs get political...BUT Bono has literally spend hundreds and hundreds of hours away from his family travelling to meet world leaders to end 3rd world debt..and was a big part of accomplishing that..he studied hard to learn all about it so he would be respected when meeting with these decision makers. Including having to sit down with some evil people to help negotiate this goal. He deserves some credit for this. Can he be pretentious, overbearing at times sure, but before you c**p over him ask yourself what have YOU done to better the world, or even your own community!?!

Sia, because of her movie Music.
She basically completed the entire checklist for how not to make a movie about autism.
1. Cast a neurotypical person.
2. Use Autism Speaks as a consultant
3. Have a very cliched and unrealistic depiction of autism, and show dangerous and inappropriate means of controlling autism as if it were normal.
4. Throw a tantrum when people criticise you for the above.
5. Backtrack and offer a half-hearted apology when you realise they have a point.
Illuminaughtii made an EXCELLENT video talking about how this movie negatively impacted the autistic community. She's also made several videos talking about Autism Speaks and why so many autistic people don't support it. Highly recommend checking those out, if you're curious.
I never supported Autism Speaks because the majority of people on that page are hellbent on blaming vaccines for Autism. They're always trying to find a cause. It's supposed to be a place of support for people with autism and parents of kids with ASD. It's really hard for the people that want help or need help to be heard.
Load More Replies...From what I have learnt regarding autism, Autism Speaks are the last people anyone should be dealing with.
Oh, they are indeed. I’m autistic myself, and also speak from a rather officially educated place: Autism Speaks are awfully troublesome for us. Personally I feel “Autism Speaks” is somewhat of a misnomer - “The parents of people with autism desperate to normalize their kids at any cost, even to the child in question, Speaks” would be a bit more correct.
Load More Replies...I feel bad for Maddie Ziegler, the girl who played the main character. Apparently she felt really forced by sia (who's her godmother too wth) and to her it felt wrong that she was playing an autistic girl when she is not autistic herself. If I heard right, Sia did actually hire someone with autism to play the main character, but sia fired her because she was "too much to deal with" or something. There is a LOT hiding behind this movie...it's insane
She was one of my al time favorite artists, and I really appreciated how she spoke candidly about addiction and recovery. I work with people who have various developmental delays, including ASD. It saddened and disgusted me to watch the movie and see how ASD was depicted. And her very un-humble response was even worse. I will also add, for a movie called “music” it was her worst music yet.
It's sad that so many groups that are supposed to support you often do such damage, either via ignorance, negligence or flat-out on purpose. I've dealt with this kind of thing before, and it's soul crushing to get your hopes up, only to be mistreated. All we can do is try to seek out the good elsewhere, even if it has to come from ourselves. :)
As an autistic person, hearing about how severely she mishandled the movie made me really sad. It could’ve been an uplifting, informative story about how autistic people don’t have anything wrong with them and how to accommodate and include autistic children and people, all while being nuanced and non-condescending, but no. She just couldn’t keep her ego in check and instead just didn’t do her research and f’d it all up, and lashed out to respectful, constructive criticism on Twitter. It just makes me really sad to see how this could have been avoided and not become such a tremendous waste of money (I saw both illuminaughtii and Cynical Reviews’ videos on this)
And has what appears to be an obsession with Maddie from dance moms. Gives off grooming pedo vibes.

Morrissey. I related to his music in a pretty big way as he seemed to embrace being the weird outsider who didn't relate so much to traditional roles and behavior. He was funny, bookish, and seemed custom made for outcasts & underdogs.
BUT-
He grew into a bitter old racist xenophobe who can't stop talking horrible s**t that goes completely against my values, and what I'm willing to tolerate in another human being.
So Morrissey can eat the poo-poo.
He’s also self-loathing when it comes to his sexual identity. I suppose he’s always had some issues with that, but it’s crept into Caitlyn Jenner territory.
Morrisey is such a f*****g miserable northerner (someone from the north of England) who constantly shames innocent people for little things, I only listen to the smiths cause Johnny Marr is completely psychotic
Without Johnny Marr's brilliant guitar playing, Morrissey's solo output is just self-pity set to rhyme...
The two of them occasionally still go at each other. Marr’s solo stuff is much more enjoyable IMO.

Former lead-singer of The Smiths, arch-miserablist, emo before we had the term "emo", and flying twatbasket.
Load More Replies...I saw him live at a show eons ago at one of the last Lollapaloozas. From the hill I was on I could see his tour bus idling with lights on. He rushed through every song, and not 15 seconds after the last song he was on the bus as it was driving off. Didn't seem to care one bit about his audience
I'm not a big fan of later The Simpsons stuff from the last 10 years or so (still watch it though), but the episode they totally based on Morrissey from a couple of years ago was spot on and pretty damn funny!
This is exactly what I came to say! I loved that episode! That song "Everyone Is Horrid Except Me and Possibly You" was fantastic!

I used to respect Chrissy Tiegen for being "real" as a celebrity, but I found out about the cruel DMs she had been sending to Courtney Stodden (the child whose parents basically sold them to an older man who paid for a bunch of cosmetic surgery and kept Courtney drugged up). Chrissy verbally harassed Courtney, telling them to kill themself repeatedly, while Courtney was being sexually traumatized by their 51 year old "husband".

I couldn't care less about Chrissy Tiegen but I feel like this needs more context... What was her connection to this Courtney? Surely she didn't just decide to send some horrible DMs to a random abuse victim? What's going on? Perhaps it's just me, but this doesn't seem very believable based only on the information in the post.
There's a youtube video called this is disgusting, uploaded by D'Angelo Wallace, which explains the entire situation. And yeah, she literally did send horrible DMs to a random abuse victim.
Load More Replies...She's such a little b and I think she's rude to her husband, John Legend.
Her regular every day tweets are full of vile that only someone with a sewer for a soul can muster. It did not surprise me she was gang stalking Stodden and it wont surprise me if she has a longer list of people she has done the same to. Something is very wrong with this person. Very wrong.
Joss Whedon. Loved his shows, his writing style, and the surface stuff like his stance on feminism were worth admiring, too. Turns out, he’s at best, a complete prick.
How he treated Charisma Carpenter is shocking. To 'get back at her' for having a BABY he ruined a wonderful character and character arc. Frak him.
Finding out about his dark side broke my heart. Why are so many creative people such horrible
Probably no more than other people, honestly. If people followed around the average person and recorded things they say in do then we'd probably realize a lot of our friends and family are not as great as we think either.
Load More Replies...Let's not forget he's a racist and treated Ray Fisher like s**t.
Amber Benson stated "Buffy was a toxic environment, and it started at the top" when Charisma Carpenter told her story. So disappointing.
This was one that broke my heart. It's so gross that he was held up (and promoted himself) as this feminist hero.
I hate to see him here, I loved Serenity and Buffy. But well, don't have to love the man, just his work.
I was watching The Naked Gun, where OJ Simpson plays a loveable goofball, and it honestly makes his scenes surreal. This is the fault of no one involved in the film (except OJ of course) but I can't suspend my disbelief enough to buy that he's a harmless adorable dork, considering what I know about him in real life. But that's how everyone saw him at the time.

Nicole called the police to their house 8 times because of his abuse. Nicole's diary, documenting an additional 12 incidents of abuse was not allowed to be admitted into evidence. There were an additional 29 other incidents admitted including: grabbing her forcefully by the vagina in public, in public slamming her into the side of a car, and threatening her with a gun several times. She called a domestic violence shelter 5 days before her death and had plans to hide because of his continued harassment and stalking after their divorce. The calls and talks with the domestic violence shelter were not admitted into evidence... But even if you're not convinced on those points, read "If I Did It." There is no "If" about that book. And he's the one who wrote it. Chilling.
Now here is a real winner. Got away with murder but was convicted of some Mickey Mouse crime.
Conor McGregor. Because of alot of incidents including sucker-punching an old man at a bar and mocking his rival's recently deceased father and a bunch more things. Just being an all around bitter nasty guy nowadays.
Conor is a horrible person. Let’s not forget the time he threw a metal wheelie-dolly at a bus full of fellow UFC fighters and injured several with the broken glass from the windows he shattered! Conor is an egotistical piece of trash. I loathe him ALMOST as much as I loathe Jon Jones.

Shia Laboeuf. I thought it was great that he went from a silly show like Even Stevens to making and starring in some tremendous indie flicks.
But when you do something so gross that Olivia Wilde (a great director) has to fire you from her upcoming movie, I’m forced to see you differently.
He has a history of violent attacks against women, including strangulation, and of knowingly giving FKA Twigs an STD. Olivia Wilde has a no a*****e policy on her movie sets so decided she didn’t want to work with him.

I've never liked this dude. Always comes across as slimey on every film I've seen him in. I've never found him funny, and it surprises me when people rave on about him.
I used to love Marlon Brando until I heard of that infamous "butter scene" and what really happened in it.
There was no actual rape but there was a theft of agency, humiliation, and exploitation of a 19 year old's "authentic reaction" to a surprise scene. The person to blame is the director Bernardo Bertolucci, though, not Brando.
You say that like Brando wasn't the most powerful person on set and couldn't have used his power to prevent it. C'mon now
Load More Replies...Dudes, you all know that actually there was not any genital penetration in that scene??? There's obviously not any talk about the comings and goings and in the end Maria Schneider didn't have a clue about the butter... and felt humiliated later. The assault was preying on her person as an actress... making her feel humiliated...
Another one who got away with rape. Richard Harris, (my favourite actor) idolized him. Until they were in a movie together and was, using current vernacular, ghosted by him. Brando was a jerk.
I’m commenting because I can’t add a post to this anymore, for me it’s Dave Coulier. He played Joey in Full House… and made sexual comments about the Olsen twins and showered with them. I can’t look at him the same now…
I know he was weird. That's all I know. But at least I know who he was!!
Understanding how online memes can simplify complex subjects can be powerful. For instance, memes focused on nature, matter, and energy provide accessible ways to entertain and educate.
However, this interest can also lead to endless fascination with the science that often challenges our perceptions, just as our interest in celebrities often challenges our understanding of their lives.
Kevin Sorbo. Back in the day i used to watch hurcules everyday but him being a conservative anti vaxxer kinda ruined it for me.

You can google 1984 Sikh Genocide or read this.
What the f**k! I just found out about this.I loved his acting in so many movies. My respect for him has now dropped by a lot. What else are you hiding bollywood?
Ok like, some of these posts are like "She was rude to me. He's kind of a jerk." But this one, Amitabh Bachchan has been summoned to US Federal Court to be investigated for human rights abuses for his involvement in the anti-Sikh riots which saw over 8000 Sikhs killed. It says a lot about India that this man is still incredibly popular when he's guilty of instigating genocide.

Load More Replies...Oof, here’s a recent one, I just lost my respect for a celebrity the past few weeks: Kris Wu As someone who really admired his English and Mandarin music, plus the acting roles he’s been is, I always saw him as a strong and brave person for the stuff he went through. He used to be in a Kpop group, for instance, and from what we know, not only was he discriminated against and paid less for being Chinese, but it was once leaked that he was suffering myocarditis(?), basically implying he could have a heart attack anytime. The company didn’t care and he left, which I thought was good for his health despite the hate he got. Now, recently (TW//) it’s been revealed that he’s been drugging and r**ing many underage girls, including one at the age of 13. China has deleted many of his public accounts and he is now in custody. He is such a vile disgusting person and I am so ashamed to have looked up to him. I hope the victims get the care and peace they need, and I hope justice is served.
Used to be his fan and an Exo-l but ever since the news, I'm ashamed of him
Jackie Chan was my hero as a kid - loved his cartoon and movies. Turns out he's a Chinese loyalist in the worst ways who treats his children like dirt. Still respect the hell out of him as a performer and martial artist, but I have a hard time watching anything with him anymore.
He is loyal to his country? That's a reason? The f**k? so anyone loyal to America is also a bad person because they love their country? I mean America also did enough s**t in their time and still do.
He shills state propaganda, has no issue with the government's actions (like the stuff in Xinjiang), supported government actions in suppressing Hong Kong, and has stated that state control of the Chinese people is a good thing. What was the quote? "If you are too free, you are like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic. We Chinese need to be controlled. If we are not being controlled, we'll just do what we want." Something like that.

TBH she has been in that sh!t for her entire life. All of her family, everything she knew, is in that. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult it would be to leave an absolute batsh!t cult and everyone you ever loved behind, and being a huge celebrity. Leah Remini did it with difficulty. I am not defending Scientology at all. I am just commenting empathy for her for the predicament she might be in. My dear friend is a Jehova's Witness with his wife, and they live in abolute fear to lose everything if shunned. And the shunning can happen from even a small thing. I am not sure if they can even mention having an atheist friend like me. This is so sad.
She didn't voluntarily join the church later as an adult. She was raised into it from birth. Poor woman is pretty much indoctrinated.
Could you not say the same for everyone into any other religion? They are all batshit crazy.
I used to LOVE Parker Posey. Then she was in town filming a movie and was out shopping at an antique store and let her dog take a s**t on the floor and left without cleaning it up. Not such a fan now.
Jeffree Star. I used to think he was really cool (he was super nice when I met him) for being self made, “not tolerating the haters”, and his whole message about being yourself was so appealing to me. Then I found out about all the stuff he’s allegedly done....combined with how he doesn’t take ANY accountability and shifts the blame around ruined him for me.
I looked up to Sharon Osbourne for being an unflappable business woman, manager extraordinaire who wasn’t afraid to call out Tommy Lee for being abusive to women. Now I read about her behavior and opinions and they can be horrendous.
Dealt with her as a guest at our hotel. High maintenance would be an understatement and she had zero respect for the staff or the property itself. All she had to do was ring reception and we’d have taken her dog out for a walk / use of the facilities, but no it was easier to let it defecate in the room and have us clear up / sanitise the carpet. That’s a gross job to undertake I can assure you. I didn’t mind picking fresh mint from our herb garden in the middle of the night to make her fresh mint tea, that’s the kind of service our VIPs expect but she couldn’t bring herself to thank me for it, that’s low class IMHO and as with most entitled guests she was a terrible tipper. Her husband on the other hand couldn’t have been nicer, no airs and graces, loved chatting to staff and guests and was genuinely engaging to meet.
I am glad Ozzy still earns my respect. His wife is a severe disappointment.
Load More Replies...She has always been known to be a horrible person. Surprised she managed to scrub her reputation enough that people saw her as a level business person. Someone told me (while I was living in California) that she had the doctors over-prescribe Ozzy so that he would tremble and appear to be that awful mess on their first real life series.
She appeared on a show I love called ''Would I lie to you'' Where the point is to spot truth from lies. Her story was basically that she ordered a servant to run into a house on fire to save some paintings. PAINTINGS! And then when the servant didn't laugh about a joke about the situation, she fired him. I wished it was all a lie but it was the truth apparently. Ghastly woman!
Yeah, that apple didn't fall far from her father's tree. He was a notorious music manager back in the day. His methods were so nasty he was known as the "Al Capone of Pop". On the other hand, I don't know that Ozzy is still alive without her.
Anyone else seen the bit Ricky Gervais does at the end of one of his specials when he's talking about sharon osbourne having a go at Chris Tarrant over her mishearing something and then calling him a c**t in front of a very family audience?
Rolf Harris....... Australian-born British children's entertainer; he turned out to be a nonce.
I always instinctively disliked that guy for reasons I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then when the truth about him came out, I felt vindicated as hell.

Mario Batalli Loved him as a chef. Seemed like a good guy, funny, jovial, decent. And don't get me wrong he comes from a generation of d**k chefs so I expected him to have some skeletons in his closet. But sexual assault is a bridge too far.
I thought so,too. He really has talent as a chef and gives relatable cooking advice. He was the only good cook on "The Chew". I don't know why he shot himself in the foot.
Honestly Lea Michele. I used to think all the diva stuff was just nasty rumours.
Yes, a friend saw her at a red carpet event a few years back and said she was a real diva b#$& when a camera was off her and very rude to fans.
Jimmy Fallon. Loved him on Late Night, which would air after The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He had a lot of funny stuff back then. He made fun of everyone, had a lot of good skits, etc. When he took over The Tonight Show though, it didn’t take long for his own personality and jokes to get clouded by how the media felt he needed to act or behave, which he gave in to. After him messing up Trump’s hair and people making a huge deal about that, that’s when I think he changed to be the media’s pawn. He only makes more socially acceptable jokes now and is way less genuine. You can just tell by watching him it’s not who he is - that he’s trying to cater to who he thinks he needs to be. The fake laugh is the cherry on top. It’s a shame too because he could’ve been up there with the greats.
Trump's "hair muss" vs. hard questions for Hilary did it for me with Fallon. Ask him the same questions, man.
A common trend in media overall, it's all about being political correct to the point where comdey is essentially dead

I’m not big on ‘real celebs’ but I’ve seen some people say internet celebrities so for me it was Ryan Haywood from Achievement Hunter. I thought he was a really funny guy and was just the do it all dad guy who had a morbid sense of humor and drank Diet Coke. Finding out he was taking advantage of his fans, some underage, and using money donated to him on stream meant for his kids college fund to meet up with some of those girls and cheat on his wife was just terrible. I feel so bad for his victims and the people who thought they knew him.
yeah it was awful to hear about that one, i watched the achievement hunter minecraft vids a ton back in the day, he was so funny with everyone else.
Agreed. When everything came out I hoped it was just slander as sometimes it happens with “Internet Celebs” but as more statements and evidence came out... I couldn’t turn a blind eye. I feel for everyone in the Rooster Teeth Company and Community who were hurt by his actions, especially his family.
Adam Carolla. I used to listen to him on the radio a lot. Like, 4 hours a day or more. The things he said made a lot of sense to me back then. He's a "COVID19 is a scam" kind of guy these days, and even though I enjoyed his comedic stylings for many years (until about the *30th time* I'd heard the same stories being repeated) I'm just really disappointed in what he's become.
I keep replying to stuff on this list and the more I do so the more I realize that growing up where I'm from is kinda weird lol. I did some random c**p at KROQ when I was in Highschool in the 90s. With that said, he's always been a d**k.
Adam Carolla was always a misogynist pig. But it's the Covid talks that make this person quite. 🙄
I'm guessing this is why Family Guy has basically got rid of their version of Death. Norm MacDonald was a one-off, Carolla took over when the writers had other ideas for Death, but then Carolla went nuts in a public forum, so no more Death.
I never liked him even when he did The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel. He always seemed kind of a douche.
Pewdiepie. He used to be entertaining and making unique content. I began noticing changes in his style around 2019,i'd say. Now, every video of his is the same: 0 effort, 0 creativity, aggressively promoting merch for 2 minutes straight in a 14 minutes video, mocking people for their looks or financial status, relying on other channels videos to create content for his own, and having CinnamonToastKen as a constant guest because he knows people really like him. Then he b**ches and moans about people's complains on how he's changed and how 2015/2016/2017 Pewdiepie was better, which is the undeniable truth.
surprised that a prick who made money being inane while playing computer games is a total a*****e? Weird. As soon as i saw 20 seconds of one of his videos I was like, wow what a narcissistic POS.
i've watched two of his videos and hated both of them, i find him so incredibly obnoxious. i'm also pretty salty about how much money he makes doing youtube when his stuff is so subpar compared to others.
I am so late to this post that no one will probably see this but Gwen Stefani. I used to pretty much be a stan, we called ourselves “lambies.” Gwen always used to be extremely involved with all her projects, even to the point of hand sewing sequins on to garments in her fashion show. She always really stuck to not wanting to be the “shampoo girl” and wouldn’t do endorsements or just put her name on anything unless it was really something she worked on directly. Right around the time she started to rep L’Oréal is when she became a complete sellout for me. Did she really think anyone would believe she’s using that box dye on her perpetually bleached head? Her hair would be falling out. There may have been some things before that but after that it seems she would put her name on anything for a check, and signed on to do things like The Voice, and became a daily tabloid celebrity with her relationship with Blake Shelton. She also basically just left the rest of No Doubt in the dust after the Push and Shove album. Save for a couple of musicians she kept along for her solo and Vegas stuff. I don’t even remember seeing anything from her supporting the Dreamcar project the band did after she pretty much moved on. She really just seemed to give up on everything that made me respect her so much before, even though she was a big name and millionaire artist she really stayed true to her original values until the L’Oréal thing. The only song she’s released on her newer stuff that’s been any good has been “Used to Love You,” and that’s probably because it was written by Justin Tranter. In her past career she wrote nearly everything she sang. It’s kind of a bummer because I had made a lot of friends through that fandom and we shared a lot of awesome experiences, but she just isn’t the same anymore and I’ve lost a lot of respect.
I lost respect of her after I learned how much she exploited those Japanese girls she always have around her during her promotion for her LAMB album.
Mark Salling (Puck from Glee). Admired him a lot for his talent when the show was popular. He pleaded guilty to CP charges, could never support or look at him the same way again.
I don't know how you could support him anymore, he hung himself 4 years ago after pleading guilty, before he could be sent to prison.
Butch “I made your childhood, took your money, cured your autism, traced your art, converted you to Christianity, and sneered at your criticisms” Hartman.
I could understand if someone helped one part of the individuals autism no longer be an issue, (and it's very different for everyone) but "cured?" First you would need to know what is from autism and what is from other factors, answer whether autism is a disability or simply a difference, and essentially perform neurosurgery... Even if one saw aspects of autism as flaws and not differences, to be flawed is to be human.
Will Ferrell. Met him irl. He’s kinda a d**k. Treated me like i was scum for asking for an autograph.
OP doesn’t mention HOW they asked for an autograph. Did they pester Ferrell? Approach him when he was out with his family/alone somewhere? Did Ferrell politely decline but OP kept asking? Sorry, but compared to some of the other people on this list, one testimony of “I asked him for an autograph and he was mean to me” kind of seems petty. Ferrell may be a d**k for all I know, but OP also could be a d**k too. Celebrities aren’t obligated to give out autographs.

Logan Paul claims that he has brain damage from playing football in high school. He claims this brain damage is what causes him to have no empathy and to be unable to connect to other human beings. lol no, sorry, son, you’re just a garden-variety attention-seeking d-bag.
I've heard of them, but not about this. I do know they're not good people, but what's this forest thing about?
Aokigahara is an infamous forest in Japan where many people go to commit suicide… so there are a lot of corpses there. Logan Paul filmed a YouTube video there and was extremely disrespectful. He showed a suicide victim’s body on the video and mocked the victim.

Chris Pratt. He was really funny in Parks and Rec and I was even supportive when he got his big break with GotG. But after learning more, he seems to be a quite conservative guy who pretends to be liberal so that he can keep being Starlord. Like he wants to be as liked and beloved as The Rock, so he knows the things he should say and talk about to stay well liked by the public, it just seems more and more fake. I think that’s my beef, behind closed doors he is anti-LGBTQ+ and probably other narrow minded ideals.
So you hate Chris Pratt because you THINK he's anti LGBTQ behind closed doors? Yes he's conservative but that doesn't mean he's one of those Trump supporter nut jobs. I know Republicans and conservatives and not all of them are like that. If you don't see Chris Pratt acting Alt right then why are you assuming he is?
The church he attends is a rollercoaster of anti-ideals.
Load More Replies...Never heard something bad from him, even the thing with his disabled kid seems reasonable if the interview is read in detail (it can be hard for parents). The main reason why the internet goes after him is because he admitted to be an active christian. I'm quite neutral about him tbh
I mean, he also said he likes killing animals because it makes him feel powerful and "closer to God"
Chris Pratt attends a church that is well known for being anti-LGBTQ and he keeps going and standing up for it.
Im not up to date on celeb news so a lot of this is news to me. Damnit
Plenty of conservatives are well aware that Trump is an evil maniac, my own parents amongst them. What you're doing here is called a false dichotomy.
Load More Replies...Alton Brown. Loved Good Eats and have always admired his cooking. Spoke to multiple friends that work in the restaurant biz and they all said he’s a huge prick.
Some of his fancy recipes don't work as well as my simple home folk ones.
This one hurts my heart. I always figured he would have been fun to meet.
Kinda not much of a celebrity but this guy Ryan Haywood from the youtube channel achievement hunter was like my favorite member growing up. He was funny put on a villain persona a lot and seemed like a good father. Turns out he was a pedophile who used his fame to convince young fans to sleep with him. Bastard even used his money from his twitch channel to pay for flights for them and hotel rooms when he told everyone all the money from his twitch was going to his kids' college funds.
If the sexual assault allegations against him come out to be true (dude was about to get extradited to the States to face trial because that was where it reportedly happened back in 2018), Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be a hard one to face the music about because of how long I’ve liked him since I was a kid.
Bam Margera. He was the coolest dude on planet earth when I was growing up. It’s not that I’ve lost admiration for him due to alcohol problems, I think anyone who overcomes alcoholism is badass. He just seems different. I really do feel sorry for him and hope he finds physical and mental health and happiness in the future. I guess that’s what losing a best friend does. RIP Ryan Dunn.
Never liked him, always thought he fed from attention and his reactions were fake or exaggerated.
Jennifer Lawrence. I was absolutely stoked to have a wholesome and positive body image female in Hollywood who was quirky and endearing and who seemed to genuinely not be absolutely full of herself. I thought "what an amazing role model for young women in today's absurdly toxic body shame environment!" I have some family that works in the biz, and on the set of Passengers, Jlaw was apparently just a snobby, pretentious whiner. Constantly worried about how she would look. Sad. Meanwhile I was cautiously dubious about Chris Pratt for being an outspoken Republican, and have continued to hear absolutely nothing but amazing things about him and how much of a good human being he is. Goes to show you that actions are really what we should judge people on. Not words.
Chris Pratt? A good human?! His own child basically doesn’t exist in his eyes because of their handicap. Yeah, great human. Not to mention his vet strong, very public anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs, and his membership in a very cult-ish church. Like, more cult-ish than others.
Chris has never said he is a Republican, nor has he said he belonged to Hillsong. Rumors are dangerous. We should all be aware of this, by now. They can damage people. We should all know better.
Load More Replies...I’m sorry did you completely miss how he treated Anna Faris?! He’s a creep.
Chris Pratt might be nice when people are watching, but remember how he treated his son? Gross.

I think Jennifer Lawrence can be forgiven for worrying about her public image after "The Fappening". And James Gunn has essentially debunked all the rumours about Chris Pratt, because we only see what the media shows us.
A guy I know went to high school with her. She was terrible back then and is apparently still terrible now
Anthony Kiedis, the main vocalist for Red Hot Chili Peppers. He wrote the song Scar Tissue about a 14 year old girl he was involved with...
I had to go look this up- so the song, Scar Tissue, was about addiction (heroin, shooting up over and over again, trying to get clean, etc), but he apparently wrote a book and called it Scar Tissue as well. In THAT book, he says he slept with a girl who told him after the fact that she was only 14 (he was 23). He flipped out and never had anything to do with her, bc, statutory rape and all. I think he expected to be charged with it, even though he says he didn't know. Idk, if that is the truth, then that was really shitty on the girl for telling him she was 18, and if it's not the truth, then he's a terrible person and needs jail time
My two cents: Met him after a Cincinnati show in 2012…He couldnt have been nicer. I’ve read Scar Tissue twice but it has been awhile. I do not recall him sleeping with the underage lady after knowing her age, but I am getting older and the ol’ thinker is fuzzier.
“The next day we drove to Baton Rouge, and of course, she came with us. After we got offstage, she came up to me and said, ‘I have something to tell you. My father’s the chief of police and the entire state of Louisiana is looking for me because I’ve gone missing. Oh, and besides that, I’m only fourteen.’ I wasn’t incredibly scared, because in my somewhat deluded mind, I knew that if she told the chief of police she was in love with me, he wasn’t going to have me taken out to a field and shot, but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So we had sex one more time.”
Load More Replies...Worst ever concert, Kiedis spent the entire show facing the drummer and barely acknowledging his fans .... the ones who bought his music. And I get sick of indulgent 'stars' who come off heroin and think that it defines them and be all dark and gloomy. Move on and talk about something else besides your old drug habit. Yawn
On and off camera? What have you seen?? Can you REALLY attest to what he is doing off camera?? He’s a rock star, not some paparazzi-driven movie star.

Eminem.
I once waited for him with my little brother after a show for four hours in the blistering cold, and he just said no. That was pretty sh**ty but I ain't that mad tho, I just don't like being lied to.
I met him once in Denver and he told me if I wrote him, he'd wrote me back. I know he got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on them perfect.
Why do I feel like there is more to this story than what was posted? Maybe it's just me but this reads like it was written by a scorned, over obsessed fan turned stalker.
This is from his song "Stan" and yeah, it's about an obsessed fan

Miniladd First he left his friends and talk s**t to them then his whole channel started to go downhill
Neil deGrasse Tyson. At first I thought of him as very entertaining, but now I just think he seems so arrogant, like he's the most intelligent, wittiest person in the world and also constantly interrupts others(Joe Rogan) to prove how smart he is over and over again. And honestly, I'd really like to talk him. But the only stuff I'd ask him is pure physics like "what is the Hamilton-Jacobi equation" or "derive Kepler's laws in detail." I might be sounding salty at this point but I really genuinely wonder how much he actually knows about physics since there's not a single video of him talking about advanced physics or doing math and he doesn't even know what the Twin Paradox is.
This is very hard to believe. Him being a student of Carl freakin' Sagan and all. Among his other merits.
My dog could fart to interrupt Joe Rogan and still prove himself smarter than Joe.
dude was basically hand-picked by carl sagan to carry on his legacy of educating people about space and the world around them but shits on laypeople for being excited about things he deems "mundane", like solar eclipses.
I've always been annoyed at the celeb who loused up my brother's research for a TV show! It was a damned shame! My bro, Dr Laurance Doyle, is 'personality plus' and has the unique ability to put astronomical concepts in plain talk so we can get them. The popular actor understood nothing and got none of it right. Laur would have been happy to help him with it but he never thought to ask.
Just remember, celebrities are human too. How they are in front of cameras are most likely not how they really are. We, the plebs aren't perfect, and these people aren't either. The sooner people realize this, the less influence these celebrities have over society.
Came here to say the same thing. Celebrities are people, there is zero reason to "admire" them, unless they are actually DOING something admirable in the real world.
Load More Replies...I'm all for passing judgement when celebrities "dig their own graves", or when the evidence, and restimony, is so overwhelming that an actual trial means little (especially in sex abuse cases) However, basing one's opinion of someone based purely on rumor, conjecture, snd Internet rumor is ridiculous and childish. Some people need to grow up and learn how to tell the difference between a truth and a lie.
Or even to accept that we cannot always tell which is which, it isn't always obvious. We aren't in these people's lives and don't truly know them. Some are who they seem to be, other's may put on a great act. We won't necessarily know which is which. Enjoy their work but separate it from who they are. Unless their views are immoral or repugnant in some way.

Celebrities are just the popular people. Like in school, only in the real world. They are not experts in anything, well, most of them aren't. They barely have an opinion, they follow the majority, whoever they are told to follow blindly. I feel bad for the people who believe and follow celebrities as if they can do no wrong and perfect. Even when I was a kid. I've always been the odd one
