People Share Shady Info On These 65 Celebrities That Might Make You See Red
People like to say that celebrities are just like us, regular folks. But a non-famous person could probably never get away with the things some famous people have done. More and more people are becoming aware of cancel culture, as 61% of American adults say they're familiar with the term.
However, as netizens like to say, cancel culture is not real. Otherwise, we wouldn't have famous people who have done some seriously heinous things continuing to work in the entertainment industry years after their transgressions.
Being rude to a waiter is definitely jerk behavior. But the things that folks have shared in one online thread recently were actual crimes. "What is some shady info about a celeb that everyone seems to have forgotten about?" one person asked. After you read these, you may never look at many celebrities the same way again.

Mother Teresa believed that suffering brought people closer to God.
Her clinics did a lot of good work, they also purposely avoided pain mitigation and arguably leaned towards more painful solutions.
So yeah, Mother Teresa was a f*****g cenobite.

Donald Trump had his "charity" shut down, and he and his kids are prohibited from operating a charity, because they were taking money donated for children's cancer research and spending it on themselves.

Oprah just happens to be 1 degree of separation from every major creep in Hollywood and politics. Yet has never said anything
At least with most other people on this list they arent pretending to be this moral feminist icon. Most of them probably at some level know they suck.

Steven Tyler groomed a girl who he was legally responsible for after he'd convinced her mother to hand over legal guardianship. And I see that slimy p**o on TV all the time, treated like rock royalty. Repulsive.
#9
Kobe r***d a woman, admitted to it, got off, and is beloved by way too many. Also, he got a bunch of people k****d in that crash. I might be remembering wrong, but I think even LAPD grounded their helicopters that day.

And it wasn't any single incident, but many.
#11

#12
Dr Dre beat a reporter so severely he broke her jaw, then threw her down some stairs. Then he and his crew took the p**s out of her for decades. But then he said sorry. So that's OK?

Groomer vibes.

Teyana Taylor has become everyone's favorite actress (at least on my FYPs) but forget that she is actively best friends with Chris Brown and even changed her profile picture to a beaten up Rihanna to mock her during a spat they had in 2013.
#30
John Stamos brought a woman back to his hotel room to “hook up” with her. He excused himself to the bathroom and his friend entered the room and proceeded to have s*x with the woman (the lights were off and she thought it was John). It’s f****d up and s****l a*****t.
#32

Green added, "When someone brakes on a home there is broken glass where is your plausible proof anyone was r***d.".

That Trisha Paytas dated and defended a p****hile, labeled herself as one multiple times in videos and on Twitter, threatened to k**l multiple partners, beat her now husband and held him against his will, lied about being trans, lied about having DID and schizophrenia, outted her ex Sean, filmed herself recreating the m****r of Jon Benet, made a music video dressed at the s***e from Django, made a song called Jungle Fever.... I don't have all day but that's just a few.

This is harmless compared to everything else here, but just as far as someone’s actions not matching their public image:
Julia Robert cancelled her wedding to actor Kiefer Sutherland just three days before the ceremony, then ran off to Ireland with his close friend Jason Patric.
Years later when she met her now-husband Danny Moder on a film set he was married, and left his wife for Julia.

Jim Harbaugh left a coed stranded in the desert. They went to a Casino. She didn’t know he was married.
He had a Banana Yellow Corvette, deputy sheriff pulled him over for suspicion of drunk driving at 4am
When he realized who it was, he called and woke the sheriff on his personal cellphone to see what he should do… the sheriff told him to stall so he can sober up.
Then Harbaugh screamed, “don’t you know who the f**k I am“.
The sheriff heard this over the radio, and then said, “f**k him, bring him in.”
Harbaugh left the girl stranded in the desert with no money, no way to call anyone.
She finally made it back to U San Diego campus and called her father in tears.
The father was a big-time donor and was able to get the Harbaugh family home number. Jimmy was still in the drunk tank. The Missus was at 8am Mass and came home to a scathing message on the answering machine.
Jim found his items on the curb when he finally got out of jail and the locks were already changed.
The next morning, she filed for divorce.
Detail details are part of public record in San Diego County
The AD at USD was looking for a way to get Harbaugh out of there because the Boosters were complaining earlier in the season about the bush league tactics of Harbaugh (ie: throwing on 1st down in the 4th Q, with the starters still in and up 42-0 vs Butler). He finally found a taker, in Stanford.
At Stanford, Harbaugh rode his bicycle around campus, hitting on coeds. He ended up marrying one after getting her pregnant.

Jenny McCarthy assaulting Justin Bieber on stage. Chris Isaak assaulting Cameron Diaz on stage.

#57
Ashton Kutcher went to pick up some chick he was casually seeing and found her m******d in her home, a victim of some serial k*ller that was hitting LA.
Instead of calling the police, he went to the car and asked his agent how to avoid bad PR, and didn't call it in. Let somebody else find her and call, and then pretended to be shocked.
ALLEGEDLY of course. He's an absolute f*****g s*****g, there's so much with him.
#58
Brad Pitt's kids accused him of domestic v*****e against them and their mother, Angelina Jolie, onboard their private jet. No one batted an eye. Some of these kids won't even talk to him anymore. It kinda puts him in a league with Shia LaBeouf.

John Edwards having a love child while his wife Elizabeth was loosing her battle with cancer.
#60
Noel Fielding (Boosh / Bake Off) "dated" Pixie Geldoff when she was 16 (and in the middle of her GCSEs), and he was 33 (technically legal in the UK, age of consent is 16). And it wasn't "a different time" back then. I remember the Boosh fandom was horrified that he was seeing a school girl.
He's also great mates with Russell Brand. So, erm, yeah. Not as wholesome as he presents.
#61
Karl Malone impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20 denied that child and later on that child became an NFL player.
#62
Accidents happen of course, but Matthew Broderick was charged with “reckless driving” after he crashed his rental car head-on into another, k*****g both passengers (a mother and daughter) in 1987 in Ireland. I mention this only bc Matthew Broderick is a d**k and I think he got off easy bc of $$.
#63
Heath Ledger died on January 22, 2008, from an accidental o******e of prescription medications, including painkillers, anti-anxiety pills, and sleeping pills.

British celebrity Jonathan Ross’s wife, scriptwriter Jane Goldman, briefly left him for a member of the band Barenaked Ladies. It appears that someone has spent a lot of money having this erased from public record as it was well reported at the time.

Anytime I feel the need to see a lot of shít-stained underwear I just come to BP. Remember when it didn't used to be that way?

I remember when Jamie Lee Curtis won the top award at the comedy awards on live TV. As she began to give her speech wearing a beautiful ball gown, John Lovitz walked up behind her and started massaging one of her breasts. She made a joke of it and so did her father who was in the audience, it was a lot of uncomfortable laughter. It disgusts me to this day when I see him that he was so pathetic that he could not stand a woman winning a top award without feeling like he had to turn her into a piece of meat. Truly a despicable and tiny person.
