“Dated A 12-Year-Old And Got Her Pregnant”: 30 Beloved Celebs That Deserve To Be Canceled
“Age ain’t nothing but a number,” sang Aaliyah when she was just 14. At the time, her producer, R. Kelly would have agreed. But those lyrics didn’t age well for him. Kelly married the R&B singer shortly after the song was recorded. Aaliyah was 15 while he was 27. Her parents found out and had the marriage annulled. It had illegally listed Aaliyah's age as 18.
Aaliyah died in a plane crash a few years later. But for the next two decades, Kelly was accused of preying on teenage girls in the entertainment industry. The predator was finally pinned down, found guilty of a range of sickening crimes. And sent to jail for thirty years.
But Kelly isn’t the only famous person who got away with disgusting behavior for far too long. As Redditor u/Pranav_p_n found out when they asked people to name creepy celebs who have hidden behind their fame.

Are you implying that sending teens to terrible facilities that abuse them is a bad thing? Or was it the inappropriate relationship he had with a patient? Or his first wife alleging physical abuse? For me it's the exploiting people in their most vulnerable states for tv ratings and feeding their addiction for better content.
They say he is, but not in medicine.. edit: see comments below.

McGraw stopped renewing his Texas license to practice psychology in 2006; he has never had a license in California, where his show is taped. In 2002, the California Board of Psychology determined that, because McGraw's television show was more about entertainment than psychology, McGraw did not need a license.
Okay, but that's small potatoes compared to this.
Load More Replies...I can't stand Dr. Phil. He's just an Oprah protege' who she decided would be launched to fame on the exploitation of others. While exploiting people to make money in entertainment is common, though still wrong, it crosses a line for a supposed mental health professional to do. I have zero respect for him.
What??? That happened?? Me and my mom just love to watch him on cable.... Don't know if we'll be watching him anymore.
I always hated Dr Phil. And Oprah. And that entire genre of trash TV, that exploits people's problems for ratings and therefore cash. I just find it amazing the way that the entire NPC culture (people whose opinions always match the dominant mainstream TV creators' opinions) loved loved loved Dr Phil until they found out he's a Republican. But oooooh, the love and admiration for the all-time king of daytime exploitation, the founder of the genre, St Phil Donahue.
If you haven't seen the video with the creator of Bum Fights mocking Dr. Phil on his own show, literally shows up with a bald head and the same getup as the host, go watch it. Both people suck as humans, but by God that was funny.
Gandhi. He was a very racist dude who forced his grand-niece to sleep in bed with him, naked, to reenforce his celibacy.
Anytime someone brings him up I like to remind them about the little celibacy stunt :)
He also forced his wife to die of a treatable condition because he didn't believe in doctors, but when it was his turn, he ran straight to doctors for treatment. Is he the a-hole? Yes. Yes, he is.
A racist, sexist pedophile - His statements about how women that got raped are lesser beings than street dogs didn't get mentioned here, denying his wife easily available Malaria treatment also was one of his a-hole stunts

Well idk if this counts but at one point Jimmy Savile was basically the UKs favourite TV presenter at the time, oh if only people had known of the stuff he did *before* he died peacefully of old age...
John Lydon called him out. I believe people were appalled by the accusations but he ended up being right.
People DID know, absolutely they did. A lot of covering up because he did such a lot of work for Charity (although that work was basically to gain access to people he could abuse).
Don't forget he was extremely litigious as well. He used the law and his ability to pay for legal representation to scare or threaten people into backing down on any accusations.
Load More Replies...John Lyden (Johnny Rotten) knew and told people and no one listened or cared.
In the US, that's so often the case, especially if the accused is famous, well-liked/admired, & wealthy. They're painted as liars, just after $. & Especially the women accusers. The accused, if he admits to having had sex with a woman who says she was SA,* he'll claim it was consensual. Not surprisingly, a lot of the public - including women - will be of the opinion that the woman enticed him, sometimes by dressing provocatively, as part of a set-up to get $. I'm sure some ARE liars & after $. But I tend to give more credence to accusations against prominent sports figures. [NOTE: I'm in absolutely no way saying the following applies in all cases.] In the US, young athletes (sometimes starting as early as middle school, then thru high school) showing tremendous talent & with outstanding success on the fields/courts, leading their teams to school championships, often are catered to, have their every want/whim fulfilled, receive special privileges, have any bad behavior excused (boys will be boys, you know) or covered up - teacher's have even been pressured to raise grades so the student athletes will meet the grade requirements for playing sports. And in colleges it gets worse. I don't know how much it happens now but in recent memory when highly sought after high school athletes were invited to the various school campuses to see what campus life is like (& to get the hard sell on signing with the school), it's not been unheard of that very attractive female students are assigned to give them the campus tours. Supporters/boosters of colleges have been known to break rules, giving college athletes cars, money, token summer jobs in their businesses, etc. They may get enrolled in crip courses in order to keep their grade averages up . [When I was in college, the "student" athletes were housed in a separate dorm (I never saw pictures of the inside but supposedly it & the rooms were among - if not nicer than - the best dorms of the general student population.) near the practice facilities. They had special meals (as if they were eating at a pro team's training table), enforced study periods, tutors, & escorts to ensure they actually attended classes.] If they then advance to the pros & are successful, some are practically worshipped by sports fans + they can get paid unconscionable amounts of $. So, from their childhoods they've been taught they're special & are entitled to anything/everything they want & will get it - or it's ok to take it - sometimes including women. *(D Trump once denied a SA accusation, saying he'd never had sex with the woman & never would - she wasn't that attractive.)

They gave him the key to the morgue, a job as a hospital porter, and turned a blind eye to complaints from patients.

A great friend to such people as King Charles (then Prince Charles) and Margaret Thatcher. Both were warned, at the time, of his disgusting behaviour but chose to ignore it..
I'm disturbed by how many people here seem to be more disgusted by his necrophilia than his pedophilia.
Not disgust so much as shock. We're sadly used to hearing about pedophilia.

What do Charlie Chaplin and Charles Dickens have in common? It’s a lot more sinister than just their first names. Or their classic celebrity status. Both adult men were in relationships with very young girls. Both got them pregnant before they turned 16. It was a primitive “practice” that wasn’t always frowned upon back in the day.
But in the age of #MeToo and modern times, there are somehow still grown ass men who are not only “dating" minors. They're marrying them too. It might sound sick. And it is. But in many countries and some U.S. states, it’s actually legal. Countless organizations are working to end child marriage.
Hugh Hefner.

"Struggling gravely in her early life, Marilyn Monroe was desperate and had nude photos taken. She was so embarassed by what she needed to do for money she signed the forms with a fake name. She asked the photographer to promise he would take the photos in a way no one would recognize her. She was paid $50.
Years later, Hugh Hefner obtained her nudes without her consent. For $500 he bought her nudes and plastered them on the first ever issue of Playboy Magazine. He sold 50,000 copies. Marilyn was not paid a cent, as Hefner knew she did not consent to this.
Decades before his death, Hefner paid $75,000 to have his dead body buried in a grave next to Marilyn’s.
Afterall, the success of Playboy was due to the sex crimes Hugh Hefner committed against this woman he sexually exploited and violated."
If Marilyn Monroe had signed the standard photographer's model release, Hefner did not need her consent - she had already given it. The exact purpose of signing such a release is to give consent to publication of the photos taken. And this distracts attention from the dozens - hell, hundreds - of truly sleazy indefensible things Hefner went on to do.
The loan shark arrangement he had the girls in was deplorable. Not to mention he did the whole "my tiny dogs can run all over the place and s**t and p**s on all your stuff, if you complain or try to clean it you are out and owe me money" thing
1. legalize being a prostitute 2. same for porn 3. strong unions for people in sex trade. Right now any kind of a sex worker who's in danger can't go to cops. These are extremely low income desperate people and the laws are preventing them from getting help.
hmm... I recall (somewhere in the depths of memory) reading once that something similar-ish happened to Vanna White... wherein she had actually asked him NOT to publish, but was given a 'it's just business' response? Maybe I'm remembering wrong... but weird memory if so...
One of Hefner's "pals" and regular at the mansion was Bill Cosby. How many women were raped by Cosby alone and those crimes covered up, never mind the other males that went there?
Steven Tyler.

Nothing says love like getting a groupie teen girl's parents to sign over guardianship of her to you so you can f**k her. When you are a 25 year old adult man and she's 16 just barely. And then getting her knocked up at 17. I mean if that isn't grooming... I mean "love" what is?
Seriously though Steven Tyler is f**king gross.
rhe limit here is 16 with 18 for special circumstances like making porn. I had a fling with a 28yr while being 17 and our problem was that he was hoping for something more serious and I was not. A 25 yr having relations with a 16 to 17 yr? Not really weird, getting her custody on the other hand is pure sex slave county

I found out an ex bf at 22 did this with his 16 year old girlfriend so they could move to California. Who signs their daughter away?!?
In many cultures 16 is an age of consent, and in Islamic cultures you can be of consent as soon as you have had your first period. As humans we have no clue as to how protect our daughters until they are ready....
No, consent of girls is irrelevant. They are Islamic! Not given permission to have an opinion. The men relatives make these decisions. Just as there needs to be 2 women to testify as opposed to only1 man.

Didn’t Kobe sexually assault a woman and admit to it?

His lawyer also “accidentally” leaked her name multiple times during the lawsuit, which put a ton of stress on her.
The trial was dropped because she refused to testify most likely due to her name being leaked. They did reach a settlement which seems to indicate he was guilty. Just so aggravating that he skated by punishment and people forget what he did and make him a hero and bury this part of his past.
Leaking her name was also a warning to any other women who might want to accuse him. Its rare that that behaviour is a one off.

UNICEF estimates that around “650 million girls and women alive today were married before their 18th birthday.” South Asia is home to almost half of them, with 285 million child brides. And sub-Saharan Africa has 115 million women or girls who walked down the aisle as minors. Child marriage is on the decline, but not enough is being done to eradicate it completely. In 2016, the United Nations revealed that if current trends continue, we could see a billion child brides by 2030. Scary.
Charlie Chaplin. He dated a 12 year old and got her pregnant when she was 15.
True: Chaplin impregnated & married a 15-yr old girl. False: He "dated" her when she was 12. When you lie to make a point stronger, you're diluting the impact the truth will have when it's eventually known.
Dude, she was still 15 when they married. They didn't meet/marry the same day. Not to mention SHE WAS 15 YEARS OLD - 3 years does not make a difference in this cae
Load More Replies...Lita Grey's mom pushed her on him then kept putting her in his path and they lied about her age. When she got pregnant he found out she was 14 or 15 and married her because they threatened him with the scandal. He was a player with just about every young woman in Hollywood.
Was this normal back then? I feel like it was. People who acted within the bounds of society at the time when they did it shouldn't be looked down upon.
You are not going to get many upvotes with your line of reasoning. Here is mine.
Load More Replies...The comments about her age got a bit confusing so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia (may be sketchy, but I didn't want to buy a whole biography, so here we go) her name was Lita Grey, and she was Chaplin's second wife (his first one was 16 when they married): "By her own account she first met Charlie Chaplin at the age of eight [...], and first worked with him at the age of 12 [...]. At the age of 15, she met Chaplin again [...]. Still a child of 15, she was initially cast as the leading lady in the film, and then-35-year-old Chaplin started a relationship with Grey." So he may not have been actually grooming a 12YO, but definitely slept with a 15YO, married her because she got pregnant (also on her Wiki-entry - he might have faces rápe charges otherwise), and it wasn't the first time.
What?! That's insane! Even when he lived, it must have been illegal, right?
Not that it was right but he did marry her and they were married for several years and had several children together.
Paul Walker. When he was 36 years old his 16 year old girlfriend moved in with him. When he was 28 he had another 16 year old girlfriend living with him. He's very lucky he died before #metoo blew his s**t up. He should be remembered as a p***phile and not an actor.
I feel I need to keep reiterating this: pedophilia is attraction to PREPUBESCENT. 16 has gone through puberty; therefore he may be creepy but not a pedophile. People need to stop using specific terms when they don't comprehend the meaning.
And in 31 states here in the US. But in California it's 18.
Load More Replies...VERY small quibble: "pedophile" refers to someone sexually attracted to prepubescent persons. There's a different term for thise who are attracted to people that are roughly 13-18
BTW, he died because he was doing double the speed limit. Thankfully he didn't take anyone with him. I never understood being a fan of this mediocre actor.
Not according to Google, it's confirmed he had a 17 year age gap with his girlfriend, and started dating her at 33. Simple math

It's usually the mediocre, older male comedians crying about not being able to tell the jokes that actually want to tell because of wokeism or cancel culture. What edgy jokes is Seinfeld trying to tell considering his act has always been milquetoast? LMAO. Listening to actually funny comedians make fun of these turds for whining about cancel culture is such a cure.
Baby groupies google it david Bowie also did the same, being a pedophile
Seinfeld said a couple of funny things, got in with the right crowed, got a tv show, got a giant head, and now we get to watch him melt down. Go to bed grandpa and stop telling the same joke for 35 years and think you are funny.
If you think the problem is isolated to Asia and Africa, you’re wrong. Child marriage was legal in all 50 U.S. states right up until 2017. And was only outlawed in Washington, Virginia and New Hampshire this year. Men are still allowed to marry minors in 37 states. Almost 300 thousand young girls got married between 2000 and 2018. Some were as young as 10. Most married adult men. Those are some sick statistics from Unchained At Last. An organization working to end child marriages.
Unchained partnered with Quest Research & Investigations, Kroll, Quantitative Analysis, and McGill University to investigate how many child brides there are in America. The researchers got hold of marriage-certificate data from various U.S. states. And checked the ages of everyone that tied the knot between 2000 and 2018. They published this study in the Journal Of Adolescent Health. And revealed some disturbing facts that many might not even be aware of.
Ted Nugent. Dude literally released a song about him perving on a 13 year old.
He also did the adopt your underage girlfriend thing. Then goes on rants about liberals being pedos
He and others like him, also love to talk about how "patriotic" he is. Failing to mention that he created a situation so that he would not get drafted during the Vietnam War. My birth father and my dad, both served in Vietnam. You know which musicians did actually serve during that time: John Fogerty, Jimi Hendrix, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson (went through and earned a Ranger tab), and Ray Manzarek, not deployed, but still served. Also actor Dennis Franz actually served "in country", said it was the darkest time of his life. And Muhammad Ali refused to serve, refused to run and hide, and served time in prison for refusing to be drafted. But at least he stood by his principles. Ted Nugent is just coward.
while i am a navy veteran, 86-95 i do have issues on how the vietnam war was fought. that being said, he walked around in feces filled pants for a week to get out of serving! and now is SOOO pro veteran!
Just one song? If songs count I nominate The Knack. Most of their songs were about trying to get laid but I think My Sharona is pretty blatant. == "Ooh, my little pretty one, pretty one When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?

I don't know how, in this day and age that Michael Jackson is still worshipped. Anyone else with his track record would be cancelled to oblivion (i know he is dead but posthumously). It is really strange to me.
From what i know about his trials things were not as conclusive as they seemed. Lots of kids came out saying their parents made them lie. Including another child actor the one form home alone. I think the dude was suffering form some f****d up trauma and wanted to relive his childhood. I mean it is still sick but not pedo kind of sick more mentally insane kind of sick. If he did diddle kids F him but i don't think he did based on the evidence and the contradicting witness testimonies.
If people like his music then let them. There is no point in "cancelling" him now. If someone buy's his music, Michael doesn't get the money because of the dead thing. It's his heirs who see any benefit and AFAIK they are not creepy pedos (though I honestly don't know much about the others)
Nobody is saying you can't enjoy the music anymore, just don't celebrate him and others on the list as legends without at least taking into consideration what else they have done.

The amount of people who think he was framed frustrate me. He settled one case out of court and it was Johnnie Cochran who was representing him. If the guy who got OJ Simpson acquitted said to settle then he probably was guilty.
I am not sure. Once i learend that some parents made their kids lie it all kinda evaporated. I was 100% sure he guilty until i learned about that fun fact of fabricated evidence. Plus the kid from home alone contradicted the testimony of another kid. So Yeh i am part of those people who make you frustrated. Because there is alot of reasonable doubt now.
Load More Replies..."Leaving Neverland" is a Netflix documentary about two of Michael Jackson's former child "friends" who are now adults. They're interviewed extensively about their experiences, as are others, and you will not come away from that viewing experience feeling the same way you did before. If you experienced childhood SA or know anyone who did their stories will ring absolutely true. Their experience of, as a child, rationalising the abuse as something that just happened between friends - a defense mechanism. Only realising how wrong it was when they were triggered by their own children or children in their lives reaching that age. The discussion around dissociative states (such as watching the abuse happen from outside their own bodies),. These are textbook reactions to to CSA. They weren't paid. Sharing opened them up to ridicule, attack, denial and shaming. They had no reason to lie. He wasn't convicted, but there is no doubt in my mind he was guilty.
"They had no reason to lie. He wasn't convicted, but there is no doubt in my mind he was guilty." This sounds unhinged to me. Your argument is the witnesses don't know better i know better than them?

Unchained At Last says child marriage is like giving predators a “get out of jail free card”. Most states have laws against statutory rape. But in many cases, sex with a minor becomes legal within marriage. The organization said, “At least 34,943–40,224 marriages since 2000 occurred at an age or with a spousal age difference that should have constituted a sex crime under the relevant state's law.” In about 80% of those marriages, sex between the parties became legal once a marriage license was issued.

It is absurd to accuse someone of being a pedophile then not once mentioned the wrong doing or crime they committed. It's not okay to go around calling people such vile things and not be able to back it up. Let alone lie about these things for whatever reason. There needs to be laws and punishments handed down for doing something like this. A persons life can be ruined with just a few words and the people saying it should face consequences.

Elvis loved underage girls and Steven Tyler toured with a 14 year old girl as his f**k toy.
edit: Changed underage women to underage girls - cuz they were right. They were underage girls.
I deleted my original comment because it was apparent that, by pointing out the US law that approved the parents' request, I was condoning the behaviour. I wasn't but American law did so vent your spleen at them for allowing it, not me for pointing it out.
One caveat though your not supposed to be having sex with your ward if you are their guardian. It was just a legal way to take them across statelines with you and not have it be considered a felony sex trafficking...

There are states that are actually trying to condone this right now!!! REALLY??? 14 legal to marry??
My grandpa was friends with Elvis but fell off when he got super famous. He tells me that he doesn't remember much, except that Elvis was a bit of a jackass.
The first sentence in the post is actually about Elvis.

Clint Eastwood. He cheated on his wives, physically abused his first wife, and pressured two of his mistresses to have abortions when he got them pregnant.
" pressured two of his mistresses to have abortions when he got them pregnant " --- i guess its the republican way to solve problems after all /s
Sondra Locke needed little help to have her career destroyed. Have you seen her movies?
Load More Replies...Complete and utter fabrication. Funny how many people will believe anything without fact-checking.
Fact checking? Yes! We talked to the chair and it has confirmed he is an a////ole just wanting to see it on all fours.......
Load More Replies...He also made sure one of his actress ex wives was blackballed from acting.
Once he started having conversations with chairs, I then realized he was a couple short of a dinning room set.
Wow, this I didn't know. I've always kind of assumed he's a bit of an a*s, but this? Damn 😳
Jenny McCarthy she practically assaulted 16 year old justin bieber on live television .
LA Reid he also made creepy comments about Justin bieber.
And then Drake. He is a p***ophile and you cannot convince me otherwise.
That’s because she’s the original. She saw that phony research study linking vaccines to autism and ran with it. (If memory serves, her son didn’t have autism in the end, so all the damage she’s done was in service of absolutely nothing. 🤬)
Load More Replies...This made me so mad because he got on stage and said to an audience about this stuff "Uh I was just assaulted" and the audience LAUGHED. Nobody took this stuff seriously with him, and it wasn't just her. I felt bad for the kid because god only knows what else happened with all that.
I never really got into the whole JB craze during his debut days and frankly hated him cause I was sick of hearing my sister playing his songs on repeat (lol). But over time I got to know about how he was exploited by almost everyone around him during the start of his career cause he was literally just a child then and I felt so bad for him. I know he has had some not so great times over the years, being hated on by people and all that, but it looks like he really turned his life around. And today (yesterday?) he had his first baby! I still don’t follow him or anything but I’m so happy for him!
Load More Replies...It was at the American Music Awards in 2012. She was 40 at the time and grabbed 18-year-old Justin around the neck, kissed him multiple times and then grabbed his butt as he tried pulling away. "Wow! I feel violated right now." The audience never stopped their screaming and yelling and we just moved on. Switch the genders and heads would be rolling! Brief clip from the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMx1epE8hpo
Oh! I think I misquoted that or I was thinking of another thing. That's my bad. Still though, disguuuuusting. Nobody stopped that shrill harpy from pawing at him. They thought it was just so damn funny.

Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page is a confirmed p**ophile and abuser and Robert Plant openly admits to being involved in some unsavory stuff as well. Their legacy is pretty much completely intact and it's never really brought up.
The one with Jimmy Page was Lori Maddox, she would have been around 13/14 at the time.
Actually, the strange thing is how much Zeppelin has faded. For almost 30 years, Stairway to Heaven was the most popular rock song of all time. It now misses the top 100 most streamed songs of the 20th century. Personally, I only ever really liked Stairway, Kashmir, and Immigrant Song (and yes, that's trying to not demote them for being insanely overplayed. Except Immigrant Song. I could listen to that on a loop.) Songs like Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, Ramble On, Goin' to California, etc., were pretty much just trash for stoners to me.
Read "Hammer Of The Gods", page and plant cutting up pieces of shark and stuffing them into teen girls' bodily orifices. And I don't mean their mouths.
I think there was interwiev with Page, where interwiever told him that many teenage girls still like him, and he responded: And I still like them"
Joss Whedon.
SerWymanPies
No he is 100% a creep. Hooked up with multiple assistants barely out of college when he was 40s+ and had an incredible power dynamic over them. Mental abuse and gaslighting. Google Erin Shade. And she’s just the one who spoke up
Charisma Carpenter spoke up as well. So did the teen who played Dawn on Buffy.
Yeah, he wasn't allowed to be alone in a room with Michelle Trachtenberg

"assistants barely out of college"So, young adults in their early 20's? That's disgusting.
Yep, legal. But if you read the whole thing you'll also notice the power dynamic thing - that IS creepy even if both parties are of age, even if there isn't a huge age gap.

Drake was also clearly grooming the girl from Stranger Things.
Edit: Millie Bobby Brown.
i'm so glad Millie's okay and happy now! i think she got engaged recently, so good for her !
She recently married John Bon Jovi's son, who is her age or maybe a year older. They seem happy together.
Load More Replies...I think this list shows how misogyny is baked into the culture. We're FINALLY starting to recognize and challenge it. I honestly think a lot of men, especially the older dudes, are so confused because they've never seem women any other way. Check out some of Shirley Temple's early movies. Basically movies made for pedos.

Load More Replies... Victor Salva - he may not be beloved but his Jeepers Creepers films are popular despite the fact he's basically living out his fantasies of hurting young boys through them.
Prior to JC he was in prison for sexually assaulting a pre-teen boy on the set of one of his films about three men dressed as clowns terrorising a group of young boys one night.
Pisses me off how people give him and these films (which are s**t anyway) the time of the day...
Let me introduce you to some Filipino celebrities.
Dolphy - Often referred to as the King of Comedy in the Philippines. Multiple generations grew up watching his comedic movies. A highly regarded legend despite the fact that it's kind of an open secret that he was a womanizer and preffered younger womanizer and fathered 18 kids with women that are wayyyyy younger than him. He remained active in until he died at age of 83. For the last 20 years of his life, he lived with his domestic partner who is some 30 years his junior. He is considered as one of most beloved figures in Philippines history.
Vic Sotto - Another legendary comedian like Dolphy. One of most successful and well connected celebrities in Philippines history. In the 80's him and his buddies raped a 14 year old actress named Pepsi Paloma, even went on TV to apologize about it. He was able to escape punishment because his brother, a Senator, interfered. Just like Dolphy, he it is a known secret that he was a womanizer and fatherany children, but he pretty much stuck with women who were around his age, at least publicly. In the 90's in one of his TV shows, there was a child beauty pageant segment where then 40 year old Vic Sotto interview 8 year old Pauleen Luna. Luna became a successful actress in her own right and ended up working with Vic multiple times in her career. They started dating and got married in 2016 and fathered one child with her. Creepy circumstances in my opinion although there is no known evidence that grooming or abuse occured. He is still active today, his movies continue to be blockbuster hits, and he's one of most beloved celebrities in the country.
OMFG.... they're everywhere!! they're absolutely everywhere!!! And a lot of them in the entertainment industry
Yeah SE Asia has a problem with this and excusing this behavior, especially with men and men in power.
add also freddie aguilar who converted to islam so that he can marry his 16 year old girlfriend.
I don’t think them being Filipino was mentioned because their skin tone, I think it was because most of the celebrities mentioned are from the US or other western countries.

That video of his real time realization that you can save snapchats is rough.
what happened, exactly? edit: ok what in the rubber ducks
He basically hit on underage girls. Even Whitney Cummings publicly distanced herself from him. Though I don't think anything is under the rug. I don't know what he does today, but his IMDB is empty since 2020.
Load More Replies...How has it been swept under the rug? He was called out for that s**t and basically canceled. Outside of any legal things, I'm not sure what more OP is expecting to happen.
Henry Cavill dated a teenager and I never see people bring this up. Also Prince groomed a child and abused her into her adult life.
Unfortunately, I think men who aren’t willing to date super young is the exception not the rule. It’s such horseshit too, it’s about their ego and power dynamics. No, she’s not “so mature for her age,” you absolute s**t stain.
I very much disagree. Seriously, all morality aside, all laws aside, all common sense aside... I'd never ever date anyone that young. Who in their right mind would get into a relationship with someone so much younger, so immature? You'd have absolutely nothing in common. How can you even desire such a young person when we are biologically hardwired to protect and guide youngsters, not freaking breed with them?
Load More Replies...While dating a 19 year old when you're in your 30's is a bit odd, the age of consent in the UK is 16 so Henry Cavill didn't do anything illegal.
Does the UK law have an age limit though? Age of consent in Germany is 14, but it's only legal if the partner isn't older than 21 years old. (Out of curiosity)
Load More Replies...The woman Cavill dated was 19, wasn't she? That is what I remember about it, might be wrong.
The teenager was 19 years old. That is legal and shouldn't be on this list
For men who do this, it's about the desire for sex with a teenage girl who resembles a woman in terms of her body, but can be more easily groomed and manipulated into sex. That's all it is for them. Beyond sex, what could these girls offer these guys mentally? A 15-year-old and a 40-year-old are in two completely different stages of life. Meanwhile, the poor girl thinks it's true love, that he'll always be with her, that he'll love her forever, etc.
Darren Criss loves sleeping with college girls when he tours schools.
At least college girls have basic decision making skills, even if their decisions are unwise.
They're also over the age of consent.
Load More Replies...I'm not a fan of these actions and I haven't a clue who this person is, but...he loves sleeping with ADULT college girls. Leave them to do what they want to do because it's legal and it's their adult decision.
I can find nothing on this online. He's been married for five years, and dated his wife for seven years before that. This seems more like spreading rumors with absolutely no evidence.
When I was in college, I also loved sleeping with college girls. I actually married one.
Calling them 'college girls' doesn't help your argument. Who calls someone over 18 a girl still? Is this still the 1950s?
I'm so glad Brad Pitt is starting to get s**t for being a creep. I've known since Juliette Lewis.
Pretty sure this is solely based on rumors and conjecture. Sh!t flies when you're going thru a contentious divorce.
No. It's factually correct that Juliet was underage.
Load More Replies...I feel like the FBI making a report that you beat your wife and kids is also pretty damning.
Checked this up: After meeting on the “Too Young to Die?” set when he was 27 and she was 17, Pitt and Juliette Lewis dated from 1989 to 1993. Anyone can google this. Edit to clarify: NOT saying he's a pedophile cause I don't think he is but maybe not appropiate to date a 17 year old when you yourself is 27.
I think his kids confirmed it or at least STRONGLY alluded
Charles Dickens. In his mid 40’s, he began a relationship with a 13 year old girl. He stuck his wife in an insane asylum so she wouldn’t get in the way of his fun. He didn’t allow their children to visit her. And he knocked up the 13 year old.
She was an 18 year old woman. https://www.biography.com/authors-writers/charles-dickens-mistress-nelly-ternan
This one is a lie. The girl was 18 and he tried to have his wife committed into an asylum but didn't succeed.
Ya. When people can post anything without fact checks you get nonsense like this.

He was a well known jerk in his time. But, while on lecture tour in the USA, he survived a horrific steam train wreck and was a hero, helping to save many lives in the aftermath. Interesting story, look it up.
Maybe before making that comment you should have taken your own advice and looked it up. The rail crash was in Staplehurst, Kent, in the south of England, in 1865, while returning from a trip to France. The crash happened 23 years after his first visit to the USA and 2 years before his second trip there.

Why post anonymous posts from people who heard or have a friend of a friend of a friend. Even the title of the post is nothing but quotation marks which immediately shows it's just people saying shït. For the most part, these posts are nothing but rumor mongering.
SOME of this is true and is well known. But a fair bit of it is untrue and can be proved false. I'm surprised BP is exposing itself to being sued by some really big names..
Yeah. I did see several that seemed to be merely rumors with no basis or had a grain of truth but are exaggerated to be worse than they are or just bad.
Load More Replies...I'm kind of bothered by some of the language used to describe the very young girls who were being exploited, or to describe what happened to them. As well, I'm bothered by the language used regarding ADULT women, in which the adults are being infantilized with condescending language, as if an adult can't make their own decisions, in a way that's rarely done with men in their 20s. If an adult woman wants to date an older man, that's her right as an adult. Some of the language in this article is disturbingly misogynistic.
In fairness I think I've seen this talk with relationships where the man is say 22 and the woman 42 as well. There's kind of a thing now that age-gap relationships are bad even if both are fully adults. Not sure where it came from.
Load More Replies...NINETY percent of this is heresy and b******t tabloid journalism. There's a difference between judgement based on false information and actual happenings.
Some were true. Some were maybe true. Some were rubbish. Not the best from BP unfortunately. Especially the unproven/probably wrong ones. Just fuelling cancel culture.
Don't forget Fleetwood Mac's Jeremy Spencer, "Uncle Jeremy" who physically abused and r*ped children when active in the Children of God cult.
Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13 year old when he was 45. He plead guilty but while on bail he fled the US and hasn't been back since. He didn't attend the Academy Awards when he won Best Director (where many of Hollywood's elite gave him a standing ovation) because he would have been arrested.
A lot of rumor and innuendo fit for the worst tabloid journalism. Misinformation and disinformation, BP, shame on you for consciously copy/pasting garbage. There is no room for a claim of collateral catch while scraping Reddit.
