“Talented People Are Capable Of Monstrous Things”: 30 “Nice” Celebs That Have Done Awful Things
Talent often blinds us. When someone captivates us on screen, stage, or court, we tend to focus on the range of their voice, the smoothness of their movements, or the precision of their jump shot. We cheer, admire, and even idolize—often forgetting that behind the performance is a human being, flawed just like us.
To remind ourselves of that, let’s dive into an online discussion where people are sharing names of celebrities who seem nice — at least as far as their public image goes — but have, nonetheless, done some pretty questionable things.

That's easy: John Lennon. He was a petulant demon who managed to convince the world he was a humble pacifist.
Just read up on him, you'll see what a violent, arrogant liar he was.
hurrypotta:
He was a horrible horrible father to his first son and wife Julia. He let his first wife walk in on him and Yoko naked in their living room as she came back from vacation. Thats how he decided to ask for a divorce. He ignored Julian, for years while using his son with Yoko as a prop for songs. He was a drunk angry a**hole.
When you realize that "Imagine" is about fantasizing that everyone who disagrees with you about your totalitarianism would just disappear. It's the perfect song for your Idi Amin-Josef Stalin-Mao Tse Tung types.
Please don't forget to add Trump to that list.
Load More Replies...In the Genius Lyrics notes for Jealous Guy, they quote Lennon from a 1980 interview: "John expresses his insecurity in a 1980 interview: “I was a very jealous, possessive guy. Toward everything. A very insecure male. A guy who wants to put his woman in a little box, lock her up, and just bring her out when he feels like playing with her. She’s not allowed to communicate with the outside world – outside of me – because it makes me feel insecure.”"
Lennon falls into a different category though, as by the time he was on the hippie/peace/love/no war thing, that was who he had become. He admitted being a piece of cr@p when he was younger, and admitted the things he did and felt badly about them. So at least he had some redemption instead of going through life as a monster like a lot of people on this list.
I've always felt that "Gentle Hippie John" was the person he *wished* he was, *wanted* to be. But he was damaged goods from the get-go, inherited his irresponsible narcissistic mother's worst traits.
yoko was a loser too. The band didn't like her at all, her "singing" is pure garbage
A lot of people still love Mike Tyson and think because he talks kind of funny he must be a nice guy. People think he is a nice guy who had a rough life growing up.
He is a convicted r**ist, he has admitted to beating women, and has been accused of SA by multiple other women.
Dude's a piece of s**t.
Yingking:
He also basically admitted to r**e, he only denies the case that got him into jail. It’s pretty fascinating, he said that he should have been in jail for a lot of terrible s**t he did to women, but still denies the r**e case that got him convicted.
I can't stand this man - many years ago I saw a clip of him berating a female reporter in an extremely misogynist manner over something really trivial so I can definitely believe he's capable of the crimes he's been accused/convicted of.
I'm old enough to remember him and Robin Givens, their marriage, and the drama that revolved around them. I didn't like Tyson then and I've been baffled by the "appeal" he's built up because I still don't like him.
The whole admitting doing awful things “but didn’t do this awful thing” is a tactic used by manipulators. The thinking being “see, I can admit when I do bad things because I’m honest so you can believe me when I say I didn’t do this one”. He’s full of it.
I thought everyone knew he was a brute, ab*ser, & r*pist - but just view dwindling news stories about him like a train wreck. He's also extremely stupid! Perhaps some of it is cos his brain has been knocked around in his cranium like a ping-pong ball too many hundreds of times... altho I think most of his 'stupidity' comes from Narcissism & Willful Ignorance. He simply doesn't CARE to be correct. Too egotistical. Has anyone ever seen a podcast video of his interviewing a fan who was a Little Person? (I believe that is the terminology folks who have dwarfism still prefer?) Anyway, "Iron Mike" must not have gotten the memo... because he started talking to the dude as if he was A CHILD & tried to hug & 'roughhouse play" with him! It's very embarrassing but typical of someone who thinks the world revolves around them.
I can't find the entire interview - but I know I've seen it, before. Dude's name is Hasbulla. Help?

Tom Cruise. Everybody likes him but he is estranged from his daughter due to Scientology.
Same.. all his movies on Netflix, i give them thumbs down
Load More Replies...I never liked him. All his characters have this nasty edge that comes through, which I think is his real personality. You can even see it in interviews. "Intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes."
Intense friendliness! That exactly! It’s weird. You can like feel the creepy through the screen.

Although some parts of social media might not like her, Oprah would fit the bill. She promoted some awful people like 'Dr.' Phil and Dr Oz. Plus, her friendships with Diddy, Weinstein and Cosby surely doesn't look good. Granted nothing major hasn't come out regarding her like Ellen, but it's just a matter of time.
I dislike her because of how she always interrupts people in interviews. She'd ask a question, the person would get halfway through the answer, then she'd interrupt with a personal anecdote. She did this to NELSON MANDELA. To our nation's TATA (grandfather)!!!
Nelson Mandela needs to be up the top of this list too.
Load More Replies...I've always thought she comes across as very fake and self serving. She's terrible at interviewing people and spends most of the time talking about herself . She makes everything about her and likes to try and act humble while also showing off how great she is. It's the same feeling I get with Megan Markle, just fake, and completely self obsessed
I remember when she got sick because she had been spraying her food with windex to cause diarrhea to lose weight. I also feel its only a matter of time before her skeletons come out of the closet
Dr. Dre beat his girlfriend so badly that she had to get plastic surgery.
gingerzombie2:
Damn, Beats by Dre has a whole new meaning
Kobe r***d a woman but no one likes to talk about that, or the fact that he had cheated on Vanessa with a ridiculous amount of women and she stayed for the money.
Since he's never home because of his wandering dikk, why not stay for the money?
He was less than 4 years older than her. That isn't an issue in his story.

Bill Cosby, is a monster. Though kept an image alive to hide the fact. I fell for the facade with his comedy albums from the 60’s.. Which I feel horrible about.

Bill Cosby. It was shocking when his r**es came out.
His wife sticks by him. I don't understand it at all. I would be digging his grave if I was involved.

I'm not sure if anyone viewed him as "nice", but Steven Seagal is a much, much worse human than you'd imagine.
He's not just your regular male actor with a few SA accusations, he's had credible cases against him for human trafficking and so many actresses accuses him of a*****t he was pushed out of Hollywood.
Dose he not live there now making s****y films for him as he got him to help train police or soldiers?
Load More Replies...The septic filled rabbit hole goes deep with Seagal. The stuff mentioned above, but also stuff like (allegedly) paying to become a tulku, many allegations that his martial arts skills are not as grand as he claims, Some of his movies have weird voice over dubbing, which I've read is because he refuses to come back in and re-record any dialogue that wasn't picked up on the original shoot. (like if there was wind outside or traffic). Plus he is just super arrogant in interviews. "Steven Seagal has been recognized as a "tulku," a reincarnated lama, by the Buddhist leader Penor Rinpoche. He has also been recognized as a "terton," someone with special abilities to perceive the root teachings of Tibetan Buddhism." There are some pretty funny takedowns of his movies on youtube where they point out the bad acting, bad stunts, laziness etc.
Naomi Campbell, great model, terrible person, despite having millions of dollars of her own, stole from a charity she set up.
She has been charged with assaụlt atleast 2 times me thinks. Apparently she likes to beat up people that work for her.
Then there was the blood diamond incident. Given to her by Charles Taylor a ruthless president of Liberia. He exchanged guns for diamonds with rebels engaged in a brutal war in Sierra Leone. Campbell was given some. One of my staff members was from Sierra Leone. His family were brutally m******d by the rebels. I've never forgotten how he came very close to a complete breakdown. He chose to stay on working as a distraction. I used to quietly weep in my office at his situation.
Add to that her attitude during the trial, viewing it as a massive inconvenience to her. I have seen her in person screaming at someone. It was also night time and she was wearing sunglasses.
Load More Replies...I always think of her as an aggressive person who is known for throwing things at her staff. In 2008 when her suitcase wasn’t put onto the plane she was on (along with a lot of other people’s) she became a*****e and aggressive to the flight crew, attacked a couple of police officers and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service.
To me she doesn't even come across as likeable on TV appearances I've seen which just makes me think she's got to be incredibly horrible behind the scenes. If you can't even play nice in front of the camera for the sake of PR and your career what kind of a monster must you be?
Everyone has always known she’s a psycho. I don’t know that she ever tried to hide that fact.
Jerry Seinfeld did gross things in the 90s.
Cultural_Elephant_73:
Now this fits the prompt. Generally regarded as a nice guy (although more of an a*****e in recent years) and he dated a high schooler when he was almost 40.
Her parents were fine with it. Yow.
I feel like the only person in the world who never liked him or thought he was funny. Seinfeld, the sitcom, was boring to me. Never got its "humour".
I loved Seinfeld but Jerry was my least favorite and I always skipped the standup. He’s not that funny.
He was rich and prominent in the NY Jewish community, that was enough for her parents.
Coco Chanel. Most famous for her perfume, Chanel No. 5. Although a majority of people don't know about her collaboration with the Nazis during World War II. It's speculated that she used the outbreak of WWII to punish employees who had gone on strike in 1936 (thousands of women lost their jobs), while living it up with her N**i boyfriend. She tried to use the fact that she was an A***n and the owners of *Parfums Chanel* were Jewish to get the Nazis to hand over control of the business to her. It didn't work, because they had already given the company to someone else, who returned it to them after the war. She still managed to receive all the profit from Chanel No. 5 during wartime, as well as having the Wertheimers (the owners) pay for all of her expenses for the rest of her life.
As for actually working for the Nazis, she worked for Walter Schnellenberg, who head the German's Security Service in Berlin. He was later tried at Nuremberg and sentenced to six years, but released early due to health problems. Chanel paid for his treatments and living expenses, financially supported his wife, and even paid for his funeral. She had fled to Switzerland to avoid retribution for collaboration, and wasn't punished at all. Documents released in the 2010s revealed that she directly worked with the Abwehr, including plans to take control of Madrid, and other operations to try and acquire favorable terms for surrender after it became obvious Germany would lose.
But what most people remember her for is her perfume and revolutionizing fashion.
What is the word A***n that is censored? I can usually figure them out, but not this time
I've smelled Chanel no. 5 - it smells like a skunk trapped in a chemical factory. Why is it so popular?
I love that description, lol. Perfume’s a funny thing though; it can smell awful on one person/by itself and smell great on another. My mother’s go to is No 5 and I can assure you that she doesn’t smell like a skunk, because I would absolutely be the first person to tell her (in the most obnoxious way, too).

Absolutely despicable vile POS. That doc made me SICK. Really wish he wouldve had to stand trial for his many crimes. He wouldve denied all 500+ claims anyway.
Mark Whalberg. He's committed 3 rather violent racially motivated assaults. That's just the ones that are public knowledge.
OkTelephone496:
A surprising number of people think Mark Wahlberg is a good guy, and he very much is not.
egyptiantouristt:
He would also marry himself if he could.
He is also THE most wooden “actor” ever. He simply cannot emote in any role he has been in. I know Keanu gets stick for being a grey rock…but Keanu is Shakespearean compared to Mark.
Keanu knows his limitations. I saw an interview pre John Wick and he said that after he’s gone, he would be remembered for Ted.

I always like to go back and see that clip of him on TRL with Eminem. And he was trying to get into acting and his people asked everyone not to mention his “music career”. Eminem’s response as soon as he’s on camera is hilarious. Then he gives them a thumbs up, like “nailed it!” https://youtube.com/shorts/F9KT-gX_zG0?si=BS4cdV9a0D-KKPjQ

Marlon Brando forced Rita Moreno to have an abortion in the 1960s. The procedure was botched, she went home with the fetus DYING INSIDE OF HER BODY, and she had to return to the hospital for a surgical removal. she almost died.
And then there’s the brutal sodomy scene in Last Tango in Paris. Maria Schneider was not informed of the scene until it was being shot. It was an incredibly traumatic experience for her. She was only nineteen years old.
Brando was a talented actor and he deserves to be credited as such, but I believe that it’s necessary that we cast light on his horrific treatment of women. talented people are capable of monstrous things. We need to condemn those actions, not enable them.
They did this because the producer wanted her reaction as a woman, not an actress, I hated them ever since
Wouldn't the writer, producer, and director be responsible for the sodomy scene? What power would a costar have? Was it in the script?
So you are saying Brando "forced" Moreno to have an abortion? How? Like dragged her to clinic, tied her down and threatened doctors to do it or else? Forcing someone with words vs against their will is 2 separate things Also, the fact that a director contractually asked him not to inform the other actor on specific details of a scene that involved a sexual act is some how basis for labeling a man as a monster? Really? Unless their is undeniable proof of any of that it's all hearsay and BS. I don't get how folks can blame others for some of the dumbest s**t.
Look at you, honey he's dead, he can't pick you.

John Stamos is generally perceived as a nice guy who elicits a sense of nostalgia in millennials. He once joked about orchestrating the sexual a*****t of a women. She had agreed to sexual activity with him. They began with the lights off and he says he left and sent a friend in to the room to take his place. That's a story he told on a podcast, not sure if he thought it was funny or something?
Jack Nicholson, pretty sure he beat a woman so badly she got brain damage.
FoodForTh0ts:
He also forced women he'd slept with to have abortions and sign NDAs saying they'd never met him
AGAIN, HOW DO YOU FORCE SOMEONE TO DO ANYTHING THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DECLINE? Did he drag her to the clinic, enslave her with chains and force the doctor's hand???
Anthony Kiedis.
I learned about what he did in his book, basically getting away with "having relations" with a 14 year-old girl.
So, he basically sang a song about how you gotta let him stick his d**k in you and you can't be so selfish as not to give it to him. And your Mama. And your Papa. He did this while having a camera shoved up his c****h, barely covered by a speedo, and wearing devil horns. And you thought he was a sweetie?
I'm friends with his cousin (not that he sees that side of the family much anymore) but yeah he should NOT be anyone's idol.
Load More Replies...He never was able to outgrow the trauma he experienced from his dad, who was a Hollywood d-r-u-g dealer and started Anthony on d-r-u-g-s when he was 12 and had s-e-x with his father's 18 year-old girlfriend at that same age of 12. He grew up and became an a-b-u-s-e-r too.
Eric Clapton. He is a self admitted r**ist and total racist.

Paul Walker was dating a 15 yr old.
But the entire world talked of another of the Jenner dating a rapper at 16.
Dont_tell_my_friends:
This is the first answer I've seen that actually meets the question. Everyone has had a strangely high view of Paul Walker since his death. I hadn't heard of this and I doubt I'm alone in that. Makes me think of The Chaser's Eulogy song. "Even groomers turn into top blokes after death".
Can someone please translate this for me? "But the entire world talked of another of the Jenner dating a rapper at 16."
One of the Kardashian sisters (Bruce (Katelyn) Jenner's daughter) was dating a rapper when she was 16. Now they're married and have a kid. (I think - I'm not really keeping track)

Jim Carrey was a HUGE anti-vaxxer.
georgialucy:
He is a massive a**hole on set, but hides it behind "method" acting. A makeup artist from the Grinch said Carrey but him through so much s**t that he had to take a break from work to get therapy. The murky waters around his girlfriend's s*****e note also didn't paint a great picture of him.
He was funny in his first ever film but then got type cast and had to act that way, but when he lost his misses he tried sorting head out but was dic to cast and crew he even admits it and somehow got in the sonic movies
Load More Replies...Didn't Carrey have to spend something like eight grueling hours a day in the make-up chair? And what did he say about vaccines that was so crazy? "I am not anti-vaccine. I am anti-thimerosal." Ya know what? I appreciate the final little push to get the FDA to finally eliminate thimerosal. No, it didn't cause autism, but given that they saw fit to ban it, it was wierd how they delayed getting out of the vaccine supply. And don't call me an anti-vaxxer; it's gone now.
Thimerosal hasn't been in vaccines since the early 2000s. What's he on about?
Load More Replies...Yea, I haven’t seen anything about him being an anti-vaxxer. He dated one? And the s*****e note wasn’t a s*****e note. From the note, it sounds like they both did illegal things together and she seems to blame him for introducing her to these things, thus, ruining her life. It was was written 2 years prior to her death. So this one seems dumb.
The stuff about his girlfriend was largely false and spread by her family after her death, because they tried to sue him for lots of money and were unsuccessful. She was the antivaxxer and possibly a Scientologist? But was deeply depressed and also had various illnesses and he was ultimately not responsible for her s*****e. The family just tried to make money off him, taking advantage of a horrible situation and seem like horrible people themselves. money (or sometimes the want of it) brings out the worst in people ):

Ozzy Osbourne. He got high and k**led all of Sharon's cats. If he k**led a bunch of dogs he'd be a pariah, and rightfully so. It's no different. I cringed seeing him turn up in one of the Trolls movies.
He did do that, but it was apparently also what helped him get off d***s. And in more than one interview I've heard him praising his wife for basically being the reason he isn't dead due to the self destructive path he was on. I'm not excusing his actions, but I can feel more accepting of a recovered d**g a****t who admits they were messed up than say, Bill Cosby, not high, (allegedly) drugging women so he could have s*x with them. TLDR: Evil due to d***s = bad but evil just because you are evil is worse. "He recalled plainly: “I was taking d***s so much I was a f*****. The final straw came when I shot all our cats. We had about 17, and I went crazy and shot them all. My wife found me under the piano in a white suit, a shotgun in one hand and a knife in the other.”"
Here in San Antonio he's notorious for urinating on the Cenotaph monument in front of the Alamo (many people think it was the Alamo itself, but no) which got him banned from the city for life. He was allowed to return, however, after he apologized and made a large donation to the caretakers of the Alamo at that time.
He used to bite bats heads off on his concerts and nobody said anything about it.
It was one bat and he thought it was a prop, not a real one. Not that I like him.

Stephen Collins. He played a family man preacher on 7th Heaven and then it came out in 2014 he had molested pre-pubescent girls. Hollywood Demons on HBO Max did their first episode on him.
Weirdly enough, he wrote an erotic thriller that incorporated a similar story to what he did and he starred in that made for TV movie ‘The Babysitter’s Seduction’. Maybe acting out a fantasy?
He now dates his biggest fan. She's an adult but it's still gross.

Same with Woody Allen and Kevin Spacey. (Even if you don't believe Allen molested Dylan, which I do, he still had an affair with his girlfriend's daughter, and that's gross. What's even more gross is he doesn't think he did anything wrong. S!cko.)
I watched 7th heaven. It's terrifying how that show let him be near his victims
John Hamm did horrific things in college during fraternity hazing including dragging around a pledge by his testicles in the claw end of a hammer. That is not normal under any circumstances.
Actor Anthony Anderson from Black-ish.
From his Wikipedia page:
“Anderson was accused of r**ing a 25-year-old extra in a trailer on the film set of Hustle & Flow on July 27, 2004. The alleged victim accused Anderson and assistant director Wayne Witherspoon of forcibly removing her clothing, photographing her naked body, and sexually assaulting her. A witness claimed to have heard the alleged victim's screams and to have seen her run naked from the trailer, and she was treated at St. Francis Hospital.[48] The charges were dropped on October 6, 2004, because the judge ruled that there was no probable cause to try the case.
Anderson was sued for sexual a*****t in September 2004 by another woman who claimed that Anderson made sexually suggestive remarks and then assaulted her in his dressing room on the set of All About the Andersons.
On July 20, 2018, it was revealed that he was being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department for another sexual a*****t allegation.[49] Due to lack of evidence on September 4, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office decided not to press charges against Anderson.”.

Oh man, this one always messes with men, you'd be surprised how often the "nice" image is just solid PR.
One that always stuck with me was Ellen DeGeneres. For years she had the reputation of being super kind, fun, and all about spreading positivity, but then all those stories from former staffers started coming out about how toxic her show's environment was, and how she treated people behind the scenes. It was pretty eye-opening.
I not only never liked her, but didn't think her sitcom was funny. I thought I'd watch it to be an ally, but I got bored long before she came out on the show.
I never really liked her. She always seemed too nice. Now I know why.
Jackie Chan had an affair back in the 90s with a woman who was 19 years younger than him which resulted in a daughter. Allegedly he has never supported her and they’ve been estranged her whole life. He also has had an off and on estranged relationship with his son.
So she was 19 years younger than him. And? If they were both consenting adults, what's the problem?
How is the woman's age relevant? Do you think it would it have been okay if she was the same age as him?
He simply said his lad has wasted his life so won't waste his money when he dead and leaving to charities but yes he ashole to estranged daughter
I don't think anyone has been able to clean up their image as perfectly as Tim Allen, who has found a new virginity playing the "nice relatable middle class" guy on TV (basically the same part show after show), not to mention Santa. He's the epitome of the Conservative white dude now !
Not bad for a guy who pleaded guilty to trafficking c*****e, and would have gotten a life sentence if he hadn't thrown other d**g dealers under the bus.

Mr Beast. I know several people who had no idea about the lawsuits and the allegations until I told them. So many people only see him on his YouTube videos, and don't see anything about him outside of the platform. On the topic of YouTubers though, people tend to forget that Joey Graceffa did content in blackface back in the day, and that Prestonplayz (allegedly) ran an illegal gambling operation targeting children through his Minecraft server.
I've only watched a couple of his videos and found them kind of cringe. I guess too much, "LOOK AT ME!" would sum it up. But then I also saw some videos exposing his scams, his screwing over suppliers when products didn't sell and stuff like that. Sad that he is the biggest youtuber.
Hulk Hogan. After the 90’s everyone knew he was a sh**bag but in the 80’s he had a PERFECT image.
I mean if you want specifics they aren't hard to find. Ratting out the wrestlers who tried to start a union back in the day. Constant use of racial slurs. Blackmail. His weird obsession with his daughter. Then basically dating a woman her age who looked exactly like her. I suppose you can't completely blame him for the devastation his son caused with that accident but he did raise him to be an entitled pos. Kind of lost track of him after all that but with the way he was booed of the sage recently id assume he's still awful
Load More Replies... Haven't seen this one - Jimmy Page is pretty revered for a guy who kept a minor he was sleeping with imprisoned for two years while on tour. Not to mention the whole thing where Zep made millions without crediting or paying the black artists they ripped off. We won't talk about the fish thing because that may have been consensual depending on who tells the story, but it doesn't mean it wasn't weird.
Clapton was an a****r and quite vocally racist somewhat recently for another guy who made bank ripping off black artists.
Pete Townshend ALSO did that, plus was caught with a bunch of CP on his computer for "research" purposes.
That's just off the top of my head, but a lot of respected classic rock artists that still get airplay and sell out stadiums were sleazebags. Don't tell your dad.
Pete Townsend told the police ahead of time he was going to be doing some research for an album. If anyone rolls their eyes and says, "yeah right," give another listen to Tommy, about a myriad forms of abuse done to its protagonist who is "deaf, dumb and blind" due to a horrific level of trauma.

Load More Replies...Pete Townshend did not have CP on his computer. Other bits are a bit suspect but if you are going to spout facts at least make an effort to be correct. From his Wikipedia page. Townshend accepted a caution from the Metropolitan Police (the Met) as part of Operation Ore, a major investigation on child sexual abuse images conducted in 2002–2003. The Met stated that "it was established that Mr. Townshend was not in possession of any downloaded child abuse images". Townshend was on a s*x offenders register for five years, beginning in 2003, after admitting he had used his credit card to access a child sexual abuse images website.[151][152] Townshend said he accessed the images as research in a campaign against child sexual abuse[153]—specifically, to prove that British banks were complicit in channelling the profits from paedophile rings.[154] Authorities could not prove that the website accessed by Townshend involved children, and no incriminating evidence was found on his personal computer.[155]

His 1965 interview with Playboy is still online; just google it. So is his '87 TV interview with Barbara Walters. The '65 interview is the most horrifying; he sounded like he enjoyed smacking women around and being mean in general. He allegedly left a woman unconscious in a hotel room. I don't think he was limiting it to an "open hand" back then. The man was about 6'2" or 6'3" and towered over most women.
James Marsden.
Supported and defended convicted p***phile and child r**ist in the children’s film industry, Brian Peck. Including being among many who wrote a letter of support during his trial defending his actions, and has not shown any kind of remorse or apologised to the victim.
It is ridiculous when celebrities write a letter to the judge saying, “my friend is accused of these horrible crimes but I think he’s a nice guy.” Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis did it for their friend Danny Masterson who was sentenced to 30 years for two rapes. Them saying, “but we think he’s a nice guy,” made it seem like they don’t care about the victims and they think that his celebrity status means their friends should absolve them of any responsibility.

She started an affair with Peter Bogdanovich on the set of "The Last Picture Show" (1971), while his wife was THERE and was also pregnant with their second child. The POS left his pregnant wife to be with her.
There's a pretty *interesting* quote from Cybill herself on the topic (source: IMDB):
[on her film debut in The Last Picture Show (1971) and her romance with its director. Peter Bogdanovich] "When a film wraps, the actors often like to keep some of their props or wardrobe as mementos. I wanted the heart-shaped locket and brown and white saddle shoes that Jacy wore, but his wife Polly [Polly Platt] was in charge of costumes and wouldn't give them to me. I guess she figured I had enough of a souvenir: her husband."
Imagine the audacity, the entitlement and the complete lack of conscience.
There are also multiple cases of her being an insufferable brat on movie sets, TV shows, social gatherings, etc.
Many of her co-stars and staff complained over the years that she was in fact a nightmare to work with.
Mike Myers. Had a guy fired on set for looking at him.
Maybe the guy was told not to do that. If you break the rules, expect corrective action. That said, I am 100% sure Mike Meyers is an a*****e. He makes a good Elon, though🤪
Asking crew to "not look" at someone and then firing them for it is a b******t rule. You cant defend that action! Then again a previous comment was you defending someone who was trying to defend a paedophile so, maybe you can.

Luther Vandross k**led a man while driving like a maniac in LA. Got off with a slap on the wrist.
Let me rewrite that. "Whilst not under the influence and driving 50 in a 35, which is hardly 'like a maniac,' his car crossed the double yellow and impacted a couple other cars. As a result, a passenger in his car croaked. He pled no contest to reckless driving, which is as good as pleading guilty. Car accidents happen, he took responsibility. The end."

What’s not cool… is him openly dating a 14 year old mila kunis when he was like in his 20s. Gets married to Demi Moore when he was 25, she was 40. He was very close friends with P. Diddy and those letters written on behalf of matterson.
Listen, this is all alleged and there’s no proof of these following statements but I have such a strong feeling that he is into very sketchy stuff. Like similar how to “pdofile hunters” actually turn out to be the pdos, they project to be saviors and hero’s but really it just allows them to continue abusing under people’s noses.

Mila lied about her age to be on the show, she didn't tell any of the cast until she actually turned 18, he didn't know she was underage. Also, you're gonna judge him for marrying a woman older than him? What's with the repeated hate on here for women being with younger men?

I loved Shaq but the stories of what he’s done to rookies (hazing) painted him in an entirely different light. It was a massive heartbreak.
I think Shaq may be fairly innocent here. Shaq admitted to "hazing" in an on-air discussion. He doesn't say what he did, but the sort of hazing other people were talking about is stuff like making rookies carry their bags, their boom box, get them warm milk or newspapers. Other people picked up on the fact that he admitted hazing and started telling third-party stories about what they had heard he did, stuff like putting poop in their shoes, pouring pee on people, etc., which Shaq vehemently denied. If anyone knows of other stuff anyone actually knew he did, please let me know.
He'd also take rookies out and buy them suits and cars.

Crashed his car and k**led a mother and daughter. He was fined £100 for it.
Because it was an accident. He didn't do it on purpose. And he never tried to get out of it. He took responsibility. Obviously they didn't find him guilty of vehicular homicide or the fine would have been a whole lot more!
He got into a car accident and someone died. He was sober, not driving erratically, and has repeatedly expressed regret for what happened. This happens every day, sadly. Do you not like him, or were you just desperate to get on the list?
Also, due to head trauma he can't remember what happened. People assume he was driving on the wrong side of the road (in Ireland they drive on the correct side - the left), but that's only speculation.
I believe it was over a humpback bridge, so he couldn't see oncoming traffic and obviously unfamiliar with roads. Ðealt with by the authorities no cover up. Just a tragic accident.

Brad Pitt.
Sail-to-the-Moon:
Angelina Jolie has filed court papers accusing ex-husband Brad Pitt of drunkenly attacking her and their children during a private plane flight, prompting her to file for divorce.
In a lawsuit over a French winery that the stars bought, Ms Jolie says Mr Pitt grabbed her by the head and attacked two of their children on the 2016 trip.
Mr Pitt also verbally abused and poured alcohol on his family during the flight from France to Los Angeles, she says.
He denies the allegations.
Ms Jolie’s claim of abusive behaviour by Mr Pitt on the 14 September 2016 flight have emerged in previous court papers, including the Oscar-winning former couple’s divorce settlement.
The incident was investigated by the FBI in 2016. Authorities decided not to press charges.
But new details were alleged in Tuesday’s filing in Los Angeles by Ms Jolie’s legal team. It is part of an ongoing lawsuit over Chateau Miraval SA, a home and vineyard in the south of France that the former Hollywood couple acquired together.
Mr Pitt argues that he and his former wife had agreed not to sell their stakes in the venue without the permission of the other.
Ms Jolie disputes this, and blames Mr Pitt for ending negotiations over purchasing her shares of the property.
Her cross-complaint on Tuesday says the actor was physically and emotionally abusive towards her and their six children - aged 8 to 15 at the time - during the private plane flight.
Her lawyers allege the Fight Club star began shouting, accusing her of being “too deferential to the children”.
Shortly into the flight, Mr Pitt “pulled her into the bathroom” in the back of the plane, says the lawsuit.
“Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall,” the filing adds.
“Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom.”
After one child verbally intervened, Mr Pitt “lunged at his own child”, says the filing.
Ms Jolie then “grabbed him from behind to stop him”, according to the court papers.
“To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane’s seats injuring Jolie’s back and elbow,” the legal filing continues.
“The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face.”
Ms Jolie’s lawyers say she and her children “sat still and silent under blankets” for the remainder of the flight.
“Pitt periodically emerged from the back of the plane to yell and swear at them. At one point, he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children,” says the filing.
A source close to the actor told the BBC that Ms Jolie’s claims were false.
“She continues to rehash, revise and reimagine her description of an event that happened six years ago by adding completely untrue information each time she fails to get what she wants,” said the source. “Her story is constantly evolving.”
Last year, a judge awarded joint custody of the children to both parents.
The Miraval estate is located in the village of Correns in south-eastern France, and was bought by the couple for around €25m (£21.3m; $25m) in 2008.
The stars got married there six years later.
Pitt says Jolie sought to harm him with vineyard sale Mr Pitt has sued Ms Jolie, claiming that her decision to sell her stake in the estate to a Russian oligarch amounted to an attempt to “undermine” his investment and cause “gratuitous harm” to Mr Pitt, who had “poured money and sweat equity into the wine business”.
Ms Jolie’s lawyers say in their filing that the actress “has gone to great lengths to try to shield their children from reliving the pain Pitt inflicted on the family that day”.
They add that her decision to sell her stake in the venture was in part due to her “growing increasingly uncomfortable with continuing to participate in an alcohol-related business, given the impact of Pitt’s acknowledged problem of alcohol abuse on their family”. Mr Pitt told the New York Times in 2019 that he had joined Alcoholics Anonymous following his split from Ms Jolie.
Ms Jolie’s court filing lays bare the tension between the couple over their plans for the winery.
Mr Pitt, who has previously spoken of his love for architecture and design, decided the chateau needed a fifth pool at a cost of €1m and wanted a staircase to be rebuilt four times, according to Ms Jolie.
He didn't start those actions right before they married (if so, why did she marry him?) Why did she stay with him? Yes, she had children with him, was that the reason she stayed?
I have a hard time with this one. I ALWAYS err on the side of believing women. With this one, I'm skeptical only because of her reputation. And because men who beat women are women beaters. They don't just start beating women out of the blue on their 3rd wife after 15 relationships. It just doesn't happen. Not saying it's impossible, just incredibly improbable.
Tom Hanks had his kid kidnapped in the middle of the night and d**g to some camp in the woods.
Have you heard about how much of a douch.ebag Chet was to everyone at the time (and still is at times)? He got off light being dragged to a camp for troubled teens. Whiny little POS.
They do this with severely troubled kids sometimes since there's no other way to get them help. My brother wasn't kidnapped to the woods, but he was sent to a special school in another state. 2 staff members came to get him early in the morning. Otherwise he'd probably have run away. I have no doubt it saved his life and kept him out of jail. And it was a last resort for my parents. They spent years trying to help him in less drastic ways.
"d**g" censored when that's not even the right word. He was '"dragged" off to camp.
This sort of 'camp' is banned in most civilised countries because we're not batshít insane. This is not how we treat human beings.
Tell that to Trump. That poor guy is probably never getting out of El Salvador.

Load More Replies...It was quite a long time ago now, but not many people seem to remember that Steven Fry spent time in prison.
It's been a long time since I read his first autobiography but if I recall correctly he did spend time on remand which is different to actual prison. He is very open about his early life and does not hide it away.
I won't ask why because I'll Google it (and it's a Reddit post so it's not like I'll get a response anyway lol) but I absolutely did not know this. Prison isn't necessarily the be-all, end-all though. One of our more controversial radio hosts (at the time) was imprisoned for naming a paedophile they'd rehomed -- fairly near to a school -- on air.
He stole a credit card when he was 17, spent 3months on remand but was never actually sentenced to prison time. He was sentenced to probation and subsequently diagnosed with adhd and bipolar1 disorder. Doesn't fit this thread at all.

triton2toro:
Maguire is a high stakes poker player. In the book and movie, “Molly’s Game”, he’s a central figure. He comes off as a douche, belittling lesser players and Molly (the game organizer) as well.
Because the legality of running an underground poker game is questionable, by only relying on tips (rather than a house rake), Molly was able to skirt the legal issue. But, it also meant that her income relied on being able to make tips by running and organizing the game. At one point, the players decide to change venues, thus leaving Molly out of the game, and without income. In the book, she recounts how he calls her to gloat (to what point but other than be cruel) about the venue change. Even throwing in a, “You’re f-ed” for good measure.
Holland is a better Spider-man by miles anyway.
