The time has come to reveal which celebrities have found themselves on the internet’s bad side. On Ranker, a data-driven media company, people voted for the stars they disliked the most this year, including royals, talk show hosts, reality stars, and disgraced musicians.
From accusations of being rude to waitstaff to releasing products perceived as bizarre or superficial, the reasons these celebrities made the “most hated” list vary widely.
Some, like Sean “Diddy” Combs, were involved in highly publicized legal cases and were jailed for their crimes.
In other cases, the stars were “canceled” over past issues that resurfaced this year, either because they commented on the scandal or because people still haven’t forgiven them.
Here are the 50 celebrities who most irritated or infuriated people in 2025:

49th Place - Adam Levine (8.3k Votes)
48th Place - Justin Bieber (8.4k Votes)
His behavior reminds me of Britney. I think he has serious mental issues and needs help.
47th Place - Tom Cruise (8.4k Votes)
45th Place - Lizzo (9.5k Votes)
Never cared about her in the first place, and still don't, but from what I've read, she's definitely a piece of work who belongs on this list (and probably some others).
44th Place - Mehmet Öz (9.7k Votes)
43rd Place - Ariana Grande (10k Votes)
42nd Place - Jameela Jamil (10.2k Votes)
Jameela Jamil has always and will always be a voice for women and minorities. She is a good person and has always deserved a spot in The Good Place.
36th Place - Madonna (12.1 K Votes)
I know I will get downvoted by the still massive Madonna-fan-crowd... But I don't get it why the (former) QUEEN! of Pop didn't simply opt for retirement and a lavish life?!! Instead she tried in the last decade to retain the appearance of a 30-something. Not to mention all the other shenanigans she tried to keep up with nowaday times! She could have retired as an ICON! But she made a farce of her legacy!
35th Place - Gwyneth Paltrow (12.3 K Votes)
34th Place - Machine Gun Kelly (12.5k Votes)
31st Place - Elon Musk (13k Votes)
30th Place - Jennifer Lopez (13.3k Votes)
29th Place - Kourtney Kardashian (13.8k Votes)
Although I strongly disagree with a lot of her choices and reasoning... Frankly, I think she deserves more respect than any of her siblings. At least she lives her life as she wants to rather than based on what fans expect.
27th Place - Logan Paul (14.1k Votes)
25th Place - Will Smith (14.8k Votes)
Not saying he was right, that he shouldn't have exercised some professionalism and self-control, and at least take it private afterwards... but FFS, he slapped an a*****e (being a "comedian" only gets you so far, and that line ends at very personal insults about people's families, among other things - especially families that are known to be having issues which don't belong as public discourse) who was talking trash about his wife whom he was already having a strained relationship with. Frankly, Chris had NO room or right to be surprised he got smacked for going over the line. "BuT I wAs OnLy JoKiNg!" is an excuse used by children and bullies to cover for behavior they know isn't acceptable. Still no excuse, either, for Will's reaction, but Chris had it coming, and should have known it.
24th Place - Kendall Jenner (14.9k Votes)
Another one from the "Special K clan" that needs to go away
22nd Place - Jay-Z (15.3k Votes)
Have NEVER understood what people see/hear in Jay-Z, Diddy and Kanye. All cut from the same cloth, all the same generic pop-hop/pop-rap... all acclaimed for their genius and innovation, when none of them did anything that hadn't already been done in other musical genres, which they largely just copied and used their status and notoriety to get away with bringing into mainstream rap/hip-hop. Overrated abu53r and r4p!st. 0/10, do not recommend.
21st Place - Amy Schumer (16.2k Votes)
20th Place - Woody Allen (18.3k Votes)
19th Place - Kylie Jenner (18.6k Votes)
18th Place - Hilaria Thomas (18.8k Votes)
Also looked her up - for anyone wondering, it appears she makes the list for cultural/racial appropriation, pretending to be Spanish, when she is not remotely Latin in any way, shape or form - she is actually English, French-Canadian, German, Irish, and Slovak. Her website claimed she was born in Mallorca, despite having been born in Boston, and the only time she spent in Spain was on holiday. Still doesn't belong in the top 30 on this list, much less the top 20.
17th Place - Jake Paul (19.1k Votes)
16th Place - Mark Zuckerberg (19.4k Votes)
15th Place - James Charles (20.2k Votes)
14th Place - Chris Brown (22.8k Votes)
13th Place - Jada Pinket Smith (23k Votes)
Aaah, yes, she cheats for the benefit of her family, and to turn attention to pressing global issues…
12th Place - Chrissy Teigen (23k Votes)
10th Place - James Corden (25.4k Votes)
James had an incredibly successful late-night show, featuring segments like Carpool Karaoke and Eat Your Guts or Spill Your Guts, which amassed millions of views on YouTube.
But many viewers didn’t believe that his jovial personality truly reflected his character. Over time, reports began to emerge suggesting that his off-screen conduct painted a different picture.
Restaurateur Keith McNally accused the British entertainer of being rude to the waiting staff on two separate occasions and banned him from his brasserie in 2022. He called James the worst customer the restaurant had welcomed in its 25-year history.
James also faced damaging accusations from fellow industry workers. British TV director Craig Duncan, who worked with him on The League of their Own, claimed the star tried to tell him how to direct, yelling, "What the f**k is going on here? It’s obvious what you do... It’s so obvious how you shoot it, it’s stupid."
With all the people on this list - r4p!sts, abu53rs, groomers and the like - dude has not done anything remotely deserving of the top 30, much less top 10.
9th Place - Bill Cosby (28.8k Votes)
Bill was once among the most beloved sitcom stars, earning a reputation as "America's Dad.”
However, beginning in 2014, dozens of s*xual ass*ult allegations were made against him that ultimately ended his career. Over 60 women have accused the 88-year-old of r*pe and s*xual harassment, with some incidents allegedly dating back to the 1960s.
The actor and comedian has maintained his innocence and denied all allegations.
In 2018, he was jailed for m*lesting a woman and became the first celebrity tried and convicted in the #MeToo era, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality three years later, allowing him to walk free again.
Women accused the star of using his “enormous power, fame, and prestige" to isolate and ass*ult them.
One of them, former model Janice Dickinson, claimed she was r*ped by Bill at a hotel after taking a pill he gave her to help with menstrual pain.
In 2023, a jury in a civil trial found that Bill s*xually ass*ulted a teenager at Hugh Hefner’s mansion in 1975 and awarded her $500,000 in damages.
8th Place - Kanye West (29.3k Votes)
Kanye has long been on the list of “canceled” celebrities, but this year he took things to a new level when he accused his in-laws of trafficking his and Kim Kardashian’s children.
In March, the disgraced rapper took to X to write, “THE KARDASHIANS ARE S*X WORKERS AND THEY S*X TRAFFIC ALL OF THE BLACK CHILDREN THEY STRATEGICALLY PRODUCE.”
He also compared the Kardashians to the Klan, claiming that he was “getting bullied every day by the real modern day [Klan] of white women controlling my Black kids.”
The Gold Digger singer also expressed his support for Sean “Diddy” Combs and insulted Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children.
Before Kanye’s social media rant, Kim had reportedly interrupted a meeting he had arranged between Andrew Tate, who has been charged with r*pe, and Ye’s 12-year-old daughter, North.
He also liked a post that described his wife, Bianca Censori, as a “subservient extension to her master” and said he had “dominion” over the architect after she stripped down to a completely see-through dress at the Grammys.
7th Place - Kim Kardashian (29.3k Votes)
The most famous Kardashian sister has made headlines several times this year. In February, she justified the pain she felt after wearing an extremely tight corset at the 2024 Met Gala.
“I’ve never felt this way before, where I feel like I can’t breathe,” she said on her show, before revealing that her lower back had turned purple with visible marks left by the garment.
When a producer asked her off-camera if the pain was worth it, she replied, “Abso-f**ing-lutely. If you look good, it’s all worth it.”
She also sparked controversy by selling underwear featuring faux intimate hair, called “the Ultimate Bush.” According to the website of her brand SKIMS, it comes in “twelve different shade variations” and costs $32 per piece.
More recently, the mom of four admitted to using ChatGPT for legal advice and blamed psychics for their wrong predictions about her passing the California Bar exam.
She belongs on this list, as does everyone related to her, but not in the top 10 or 15. There are FAR worse creatures attempting to pass themselves off as human than her.
I preface this by saying I don't like her either, because... *gesture*. Surely I don't need to explain that. But she hasn't pimped anyone out, she's not a rapist; she is absolutely a nepo-baby but one that's also managed to build her own business. Just because she's a bit loopy (see pube undies, nipple bras and psychics re. the bar) and made poor life choices in sleeping with Kanye (I mean... we all make life choices. Maybe not as bad as that, but still.) those don't make her a *bad* person.
I've seen quite a few "People who have met/worked with celebrities" lists that mention her. Several people who have allegedly worked for her have said that yeah, she is completely out of touch with the real world; but also that she was one of the sweetest, kindest, and most generous people that they've met. I don't care for the Kardashians, but I'd like to believe that.
6th Place - Sean Combs (30.7k Votes)
This year, the disgraced hip-hop mogul stood trial after being arrested on charges of racketeering, s*x trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of pr*stitution.
In July, the jury found Diddy guilty on two counts of transportation for the purposes of pr*stitution involving Cassie Ventura, an ex-girlfriend, and male s*x workers. He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking charges.
Cassie, his girlfriend of over a decade, accused Diddy of forcing her to take illicit substances and later engage in s*xual acts with other men for hours. She said these encounters, called “fr*ak offs” by the 56-year-old producer, made her feel “disgusted” and “humiliated.”
She stated that she was forced to “perform” for Diddy, who would watch and “direct” her. She feared the superstar would release videos of her performing these acts if she refused.
In October, the rapper was sentenced to four years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He will remain incarcerated until May 2028.
5th Place - Amber Heard (33.9k Votes)
Amber didn’t star in any projects this year and continued living a quiet life in her secluded Madrid home. However, people still haven’t forgotten about her high-profile lawsuit against her ex, Johnny Depp.
The pair accused each other of domestic violence, but the jury ruled mostly in Johnny’s favor, awarding him $15 million in compensatory and punitive damages. Amber won one of three counter-claims against her ex and was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
In May, the Aquaman actress announced she had welcomed twins Agnes and Ocean. Her eldest daughter, Oonah Page, was recently enrolled in one of the most prestigious schools in the Spanish capital.
"This is all behind her now, though,” an insider said of the trial. “She has new energy and is focused on things that she loves.”
She's trash, but not "Top 20" on this list trash. Everybody seems to want to vote for everyone to have a worse spot, without stopping to consider that it's *AN ORDERED LIST*, and there's only so much room at the top... which should be the domain of the WORST of all these people. Heard may be garbage, but she's NOWHERE NEAR the likes of Bill Cosby.
4th Place - Oprah Winfrey (37.5k Votes)
The former talk show host was slammed after old interviews surfaced on social media this year, prompting many to question her behavior toward her guests, particularly her comments about their bodies.
In one example, a 2004 clip showed Oprah asking twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen about their physiques at a time when Mary-Kate was struggling with an eating-related disorder.
“What size are you, by the way?” Oprah asked the sisters. When they replied that they didn’t know the exact number, the host responded ironically, “Oh, that’s so interesting! I’m obsessed with size, and you’re like, ‘I really don’t know!'”
In a 1986 interview with Cindy Crawford, Oprah asked the then-20-year old to stand up mid-interview. “Did she always have this body?” she asked, adding, “Now this is what I call a BODY.”
In a 2023 documentary, Crawford revealed that the moment made her uncomfortable. “When you look at it through today's eyes, Oprah's like, ‘Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you're worthy of being here.’ That was so not okay really. Especially from Oprah!”
Wow, for a former family TV icon it is quite a feat to be more disliked than P Diddy.
3rd Place - Ellen Degeneres (38.9k Votes)
Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, relocated to the English countryside last year after she was “canceled” over accusations of fostering a toxic workplace culture on her talk show.
In July 2025, the 67-year-old said she had moved to the UK because of Donald Trump. “Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here,” she said.
Ellen faced renewed backlash for her response to her show being canceled after 19 seasons. “I’m a direct person, and I’m very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that ... I’m mean?” she said.
Since the end of The Ellen Show, many believe the host has failed to show remorse or take accountability for the accusations against her.
People were also surprised to learn she was considering a comeback, not resurrecting the show, but starting a new project. “I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens but I'm a little bit bored,” she said.
Once again, awful person, but does not rank with the likes of Cosby, Don Jr., Diddy, etc.
2nd Place - Prince Harry, Duke Of Sussex (42.4k Votes)
The Duke of Sussex recently participated in a skit on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that many labeled as “cringe.”
In the segment, Harry told the host that he wanted to play a prince in a Hallmark-style Christmas movie and said Americans were “obsessed with royalty.”
When Stephen pushed back on the idea of an American obsession, Harry joked about Donald Trump, saying, "Really? I hear you elected a king."
"I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House — all the things you people in TV do,” he quipped about his desire to star in a Christmas film.
Earlier this year, the father of two lost a legal challenge over the level of security he and his family are entitled to while in the UK.
He had been seeking to overturn a decision that had downgraded his security after he stopped being a working royal and moved to the US five years ago, as per the BBC.
While his legal team argued that Harry had been "singled out" for "inferior treatment,” the court ruling upheld that there had been nothing unlawful about the decision.
1st Place - Meghan Markle, Duchess Of Sussex (49.2k Votes)
In the first place, among the most disliked celebrities is Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. This year, she left the privacy of her Montecito home to debut a Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, along with a holiday special, neither of which was well-received.
Though she kept her children with Prince Harry out of the spotlight, Meghan offered a glimpse into her life and interests in a series branded as superficial and egotistical by many viewers.
Several people mocked her tips and tricks for being a great host, with one of the most talked-about moments showing her transferring snacks from their original packaging into a clear plastic bag and tying it with a ribbon to give to a guest.
The Netflix show coincided with the launch of her food brand, As Ever, and the reactivation of her Instagram page.
She was also criticized for continuing to use the Sussex title five years after stepping down as a working royal. In the show, she corrected a guest who called her Meghan Markle, clarifying, “You know I’m Sussex now.”
Additionally, a house manager introduced her as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” when she arrived to be interviewed at a friend’s home in New York, despite only the journalist being in the room.
Donald Trump
Yes! Thank you for adding him to the top of the list! Dangerous, ignorant bigot.
Where is Bezos? And his pneumatic wife? And all the other Trumps and their are slickers? Nigel Fart rage and Boris Johnson? Mad Vlad RasPutin? They all deserve top 10 slots.
Most of those are politicians/leaders. This was only celebrities.

Yet another example of people judging those they've never met (never likely to meet) based on what is presented about them by the media. Sure, there are some shockers in here (P Diddy, Bill Cosby, Sean Combs I'm looking at you) but a lot of the others are just getting on with their lives while the media try to bring them down. Marina Urman - you need to get a life.
Not her list. Just copied from another site. No 'journalism' involved.
Load More Replies...I don't even like Megan and Harry, but people need to stop listening to and reading the b******t the British Media write. Their racism is astounding. The pig faced alleged journalist Carol Malone; even repeated the lie live on air that Megan's mother was in jail, that's why her father raised her. I'm sure there are a million worse people than the. Example being that grifter Erika Kirk.
Where's Flake Libely and OrangePool? Their PRs are working overtime to try to make them look like decent people. Yeah, NO.
That'd be nice to see! I hope that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen would find their way onto that list.

But it's not representative because not every human on Earth voted, only the people who cared enough and hated enough. I mean if you ask Vegans to vote on Hunter's rights you're going to have a very different result that if you'd have asked the Hunters.
Load More Replies...Stupid list. But no doubt Trumpster is worst. There is no good in him.
Unusual combination of celebrities makes me believe some people put them up just because they don't like their music even though millions do. Personally I dislike the ones that are (1) guilty of crime, (2) treat their own staff like rubbish, (3) take advantage of people to make their money - you get the idea. Basically the obnoxious, greedy, self-important egotists.
In the UK every year the topical comedy chat show with an emphasis on disability (not sure how else to describe it!) The Last Leg holds their annual award Dîck of The Year. This year I’m guessing it’s going to be the Andrew formerly known as Prince. If your (non-USA) country had a Dîck of The Year award, who would win this year?
Adam Hills should be hypocrite of the year

All victims of rapists and abusers will nodding in approval to this, "he did a***e me but at least he wasn't pretentious or vapid"
I love how half this list are the Kardashian/Jenners. Also, dunno about everyone else, but my list would be looking something like "who? Who? 50... 25... 1, 1, 1, 1..." Edit: Also, it probably would have been easier for everyone (at least here) if it was just a list of 50 celebrities that are the 'most disliked' based on whatever survey etc, without the rankings.
It’s horrible and disturbing that BP is running a sh!t sheet on people and encouraging its audience to participate in the hatred. Especially as BP often runs stories, for example about bullies and the damage they cause, inviting sympathy and kindness from the same audience.
Minus the why this time - More context for people that don't read TMZ would be helpful for some entries

I saved myself the bother, skipped right down to the top five. :)
