Just want to point out, it wasn't "several" allegations against Saville; at least 450 alleged victims came forward, and over 200 charges were recorded.
Literally! I heard the narrator say "several allegations" and I felt like I was living in an alternate universe. The phrasing completely downplays the extent of his abuse! I genuinely do not think they could have phrased it worse.
@@mashthebananaTo be fair. Unless something has been proven, they have to say alleged. Say, your neighbor or whatever says something about you. So it’s true just because they said it? Is that how it’s going to work now? Say it and it’s true? That’s a pretty slippery slope to go down.--Not saying celebs don’t do everything un celebs do, but! there is a lot of people who will jump on anything to get their 15 minutes. 🤷♀️ 450 sounds like a lot.
I was in my 20s when he died. I truly mourned him. Now, seeing his spitting image of a son on TikTok doing the exact same things he did, I can't even imagine how proud he would be to see his family now.
I’ve just left a comment myself if I’d have seen this I’d have commented here instead…. Basically saying whenever his name comes up it’s different from hearing about other celebrities, it feels more like I’ve lost someone I personally knew, worst part is since the first time any of us saw him it was kind of expected that we would lose him young but as we saw more of him I guess that opinion somewhat change but either way it more more shocking in those circumstances with an otherwise “safe” creature.
Unfortunately, life is not fair. There are a lot more people who got away with more. Just about every working woman over the age of 50 has been a victim of harassment or SA
@@GMAMEC There are also plenty of men who have been SA, but refuse to speak up out of embarrassment and/or because they're even less likely to be believed compared to women. The whole picture is really sad.
Something else that fucks me up about Owen Hart is that, according to people who witnessed it, his last words were telling people to look out. He knew he was about to die, and in his last moments, he wanted to be sure no one else got hurt. That says so much about the type of person he was. May his memory be a blessing
He was yelling at Jimmy Korderas, the ref for the match, to get out of the way because he was in that corner where Owen ended up falling onto. He got out of the way by mere inches.
Everything I've heard about Owen, he was such a wonderful person. A family man, just a good man. It's so sad. I can't imagine the fear he felt knowing he was going to die. He didn't deserve that. It seems like it's always the best people that die young and know that they are going to die. Why can't serial killers or rapists and abusers go that way?😔
@@janiephillips4842 Like they always say, it's not the fall that hurts or kills, it's the sudden stop. So no, Owen didnt know he was going to die. He yelled to save Jimmy and surely was hoping he would survive the sudden stop he was about to endure.
Dan Schneider’s victims who have yet to come forward deserve to when they’re ready, but those did were very brave to call him out for the monster that he is.
It's really unfortunate that none of his alleged victims ever came forward to the police, and that everything said about him lacks any physical evidence-just rumors and hearsay. Yet, here we are, tarnishing a man's reputation because it's easier than seeking the truth. America at its finest
Did you know that there is a Netflix movie about Cheryl. It’s called Women of the Hour. In it they said she actually went out for drinks with Rodney after the show. And it wasn’t until after they left the bar that she turned him down. And he almost kidnapped her. But thankfully she was saved by a group of employees leaving the bar just as he was getting ready to take her. Those employees were able to give her a chance to get in her car and get away. The movie showed eventually how he was caught for raping, kidnapping then murdering his victims.
@@kerrysater157 That’s kinda what I meant. In the movie Cheryl walked out of the studio. And Rodney was standing off to the side of the building. And he asked her to go to drinks. She agreed. But in the bar he was acting extremely creepy. And when they were out in the middle of this dark parking lot. He asked her for her phone number so they could set up their arrangements to for their date that was out of town. She gave him a fake number and he busted her by asking what’s number? Is that a 4 or a 9. And she said let me see I’ll tell you. And he said what you don’t know what you wrote??? And he then said so this is how you tell me that we aren’t going out. At that point she was standing at her car with the car door open. And he tried grabbing her. And that was when the employees came walking out. He looked at her and said you’re lucky. And he walked away. She got in her car and drove away from the lot before he could get in his car and follow her. At the start of the movie it said it was a true story. I know that if it’s just bits and pieces of the truth they must say BASED on a true story . But this said A true story.
I thought degenerate was slimy to try to get Mariah Carey to drink alcohol when she knew she was pregnant. that shows a huge disregard for Mariah and her baby.
@@Muhammadwasapedo that's absolutely not what happened. with the info they had at launch everything was within accepted tolerances. it wasn't till after the investigation that followed did the find out about the frozen O rings. It was a tragic accident. why do American's always think there has to be someone to blame. it's rocketry, shit happens. it's inherently incredibly dangerous.
Oh, man. Just say "Duggars" and I get mad immediately. They made me think they were SO patient and such great parents. Not exactly true. The older kids raised the younger kids and they know it.
@@LucySharkeyart I had one older brother by 2 years, so we weren't watching each other. Then, when he was ten and I was eight, they went and had another kid. I only had one little brother to watch and I resented the hell out of having to do it. Imagine having, like, ten of them....
Christine Chubbuck… a 30-year-old woman who was hosting this morning TV show in Florida, she committed suicide live on camera after years of depression 💔
What’s even more tragic is that she’s ahead of her time by volunteering at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital by making kids with special needs smile by puppet shows and even brought her puppets to the talk show she hosted called the Suncoast Digest. A Tumblr user named tapesignal did an excellent job on exploring her life without spending too much time on her tragic death.
I will always remember the news of Steve Irwin's passing. I watched Crocodile Hunter back in the mid-2000s and the news of his tragic death shocked me so much!
In a world full of Weinstein's, Diddy's, diddlers and murderers, remember that Steve Irwin existed. Steve Irwin was the embodyment of philanthropy and greatness. There is no dark side to Steve Irwin. He simply made the world a better place everywhere he went, enlightening and enriching everyone's lives that he touched, until he was taken by a freak accident, doing what he loved - making the world a better place. God bless you Steve Irwin.
@@davidfortier6976 I was referring to Jimmy Saville's former headstone were he had a long drawn out epitaph of how wonderful he was, lol. Not praise myself in particular. Duh
That's never left my memory. Happened 40 years ago. You may have heard of Terry Kath, Chicago's guitarist. Roughly the same thing happened to him in 1978.
There are two more incidents that should be on this list... the explosion of the Challenger shuttle, and the suicide of Budd Dyer.. both were on live TV and I watched both happen, talk about traumatizing.
@@haji818721 especially Budd Dyer since everyone was watching that broadcast at the time, everyone knew he was a crook, it was big news, but no one expected him to unalive himself
@@christim1252No. It seriously affected so many of us. We watched live as several people were killed. It was awful. Very difficult to comprehend as a child.@christim1252
@@dhenderson1810I was about to ask the same thing..?? Is it going to be some weird thing about how she accidentally pissed off a minority or said something bad back in 2012..?? Let’s wait and see 🤣
@@samrobinson6396 I think this person is just going on what Jennette McCurdy said. It sounds like Grande wasn't her type of person and she was favoured by the producers. Hardly Grande's fault.
300 million for Irwin. The guy was a global icon. Every kid and adult, heard of him, seen him, copied his voice when talking about animals. Even still today! There's nobody like him. Even watching this now made me sad.
A reminder about Dan Schneider: Before he was a producer at Nickolodeon, he was an actor, his biggest role just a few years earlier on Head Of The Class, and earlier being the creepy son in Better Off Dead. So you probably have seen him if you are Gen X.
His boss at Nickelodean was a co-star of his on "Head Of The Class" (he was the character who wore glasses) and some feel that their friendship resulted in him turning a blind eye to Dan's indiscretions.
@@lainiwakura666 CLEARLY I’m disgusted AT Saville, and all the people who covered up for him…and continue to do so by minimizing his actions after his death, and sweep the massive complicity of the people in power who let it happen! The entire point is that downplaying his actions allows for these, and similar crimes, to continue, because the systemic failure isn’t being addressed. Furthermore, this is an American video, so most viewers literally have no idea who Saville is!
I thought they’d cover the Power Ranger who killed his roommate with a sword in 2017 and the Power Ranger(did not have a speaking part) who participated in a horrible triple murder in 2008.
@ read about the murder of Thomas and Jackie Hawks if you have the stomach for it. Skylar Deleon was in Power Ranger commercials. Very awful crime. Incidentally has changed gender in prison. The other murder was red ranger Recardo Medina killed his roommate with a sword.
Many of these were terrible and despicable, but I'd like to hear more about that Extreme Makeover scandal!! This poor girl's family felt the need to insult and degrade her looks on television (which it never aired but they didn't know that until after)?! What an awful family and the poor girl now has to live with knowing all of this. It's heartbreaking.
It was part of the show to have family/friends tear contestants' looks apart, not just this one family who did it. It was horrible, of course, but I assume producers told them to really rip into their loved one to make for "good" TV.
The producers told them it was part of the show. That it was a requirement to be on it. They were under the impression that the show would air, that the contestant would actually know that they didn't mean what they said, and that it was the only way for her to get her makeover
@@TeniBear10 I don't blame the family, but I think what the TV show did - producers, people whose idea that family and friends HAD to say hurtful things about the subject for entertainment, is just disgusting.
He didn't name anyone because he's making it up. It's him flipping the coin to distract from the fact that he sexually groomed and abused one confirmed underage fan. She testified against him in court and spared no detail. This is btw no defense of Dan Schneider who is a confirmed pig. It's calling Bell the narcissistic liar he's been since the second he learned how to speak.
The parents of child actors completely control their kids and use them for nothing except money. It is extremely sad and despicable. Obviously, not all parents of child actors are like that, but most are.
@@eddierascalhaskell4954 you should be somewhat happy-- I can't tell you how many of my posts have been deleted... I have never once been notified. Only reason I know about it is that I still get notified when a response is made... I'll scroll up & see that my comment is gonzo.
@@trevellyannum, MOST pastors are not, however. It needs to be said, bc it's too easy to lump them all together, when they are just like "normal" (non-pastors) people. The very few who ARE that kind of monster happen to get all the attention.
Steve Irwin died on my birthday; September 4th, 2006. He was my hero as a little 10 year old, and I dreamed of working at his Zoo. I woke up from a nap on the couch to the news on the TV announcing his death. It was so surreal, and it's almost as if God or something woke me up to hear it. It's still haunted me after nearly 20 years. RIP Steve Irwin, a gentle man and a gentle soul.
@@cinnamon8884 Yeah, he was up there with poachers. We have to remember that animals have feelings and don't go on instinct. Simply touching them causes them intense military vet-esque PTSD. Crocodiles are notoriously sensitive emotionally. You're 100% right, guy.
It was pretty unexpected that he died. Honestly, my mom used to love watching him on crocodile Hunter. She was a really big fan of him. He was a good man for sure gone but not forgotten.
@@cinnamon8884 because right when they announced when he died, I was pretty shocked about it and it was unexpected when it was all over the news and they were showing an old video of him saying in 2002 that if he died and that’s what happened announcement about it? I can’t remember what he said, but it was somewhere.
What's really messed up is Jim Ross was literally told over his earpiece from WWF producer Kevin Dunn to say "Announce that Owen's dead. Back to the show."
@@jenniferknapp7728 Judith Barsi was a promising child actress who was murdered by her own father in the late '80s. Her father was an envious alcoholic with mental health issues, and he shot and killed both Judith and her mother before taking his own life soon after. I believe her last film was "All Dogs Go to Heaven" with Burt Reynolds.
Steve Irwin's death was the beginning of a 1-2 gut punch to Australians. Steve Irwin died at the start of the week, and Australian racing legend, Peter Brock, died at the end of the week. Both are Australian legends.
I remember. The entire nation Down Under went into mourning. We were devastated here in the States as well. A Stingray! He PLAYED with black Mamba Snakes.....but he died by a stingray
Another tragic fact in the Phil Hartman murder: He actually gave his wife that gun. They both loved guns and he gave her the gun for her birthday (maybe anniversary, I forget) before she killed him on that fateful day. I watched a special on it, I forget which channel.
It was Season Two of Dark Side of Comedy on VICE. I watched that episode before on Dish, channel 121. And you're right with the first answer of Phil given Bryann the gun on her birthday.
@ wow. No it does not. It shows that you shouldn’t give a weapon to a psychopath tho. Most of the world just has guns. Literally one per household. And those countries have very little gun violence. The problem is that we don’t raise our children, so they grow up to be batards with guns and no regard for human life. It has nothing to do with regulation, which only makes legal law abiding citizens give up their guns while criminals still have them. Idiot.
I’ve read Jennette McCurdy’s book and listen to her narrated and from what I know it makes total sense now of what she went through especially with how her mom treated her and made her go into acting. It’s so sad what she went through and honestly thankful. She retired from acting after everything she’s gone through. She also talks about Dan Schneider who she calls the creator after everything he did to her as well. I’ve watched on the set which is a documentary series about him and, everything they say about him makes sense especially with Jennette McCurdy when she released her memoir and talked about him. I met her along time ago at CAPITOL RECORDS and Hollywood. They were doing a filming for cupcake wars, and CAPITOL RECORDS Nashville was there and I was lucky to see her. I went through my face of listening to her music and watching her on iCarly and Sam and Cat, even though she retired, I’m thankful she’s happy that people like me to watch her on these shows and I still like listening to her music generation. Love is such a beautiful song and I I also like put your arms around someone. It’s the song about giving hugs. I’m not that in the country music but either way I will always support her.
The Cosby show was one of the biggest shows when i was a kid (in Australia) it was on in prime time , i remember eating tea alot with the Cosby show on , and knowing what i know now , it just ruined a bit of my Childhood that was awesome. Between The Cosby Show, Different Strokes, Family Ties and Growing Pains, those were the Big shows when i was a kid in the 80's and 90's. We dont get shows like those anymore ....
That wasn't the only sitcom scandal unfolding at that time, because Australia had "Hey, Dad!". Just like The Cosby Show, it was the actor who played the father who was eventually found guilty of multiple charges, including inappropriate conduct against a fellow cast member, who was a child at the time. I'm being as vague as possible on purpose, but the perp in question ended up leaving the country.
I understand that. Long before The Cosby Show we were listening to Bill Cosby albums as a family. He was a staple in my home. Spent every Saturday watching Fat Albert as a kid. My heart truly breaks for his victims, because I know from personal experience that it stays with you and changes you in ways that will affect the rest of your life. So the gut punch I felt because my childhood memories were ripped away pales in comparison to, but it was still a gut punch to those of us that grew up on Cosby.
I remember being in a store that sold DVDs. The clerk was removing some of the old DVDs that weren't selling, to make way for new stock. He removed all the Cosby Show DVDs because no one would buy them after the conviction.
@@gaiapurpureHe was also accused of molesting his niece, and his daughter's best friend. Both girls who played his daughters on the show say that he forced himself on them. Also, they told the shoe's creator but because the show was rating huge, he threatened to end their careers if they ever went public.
@@dhenderson1810 Absolute scumbags, both of them. The people behind the scenes of the show should have had the safety and welfare of the cast as their top priority, but we are talking about the entertainment industry in the Eighties, so that might have been too much to ask for at that time... But, those poor victims...
I remember watching a Geraldo episode in school where he had some KKK members on and a fight broke out when I think one of them called Geraldo a racial slur. He had a broken nose.
Nope, I watched that episode and what happened was:> They were all seated and the KKK member was calling one of the guests that was a very large black man racial slurs, and then the large black man stood up and hovered over the kkk member repeating "your gonna get kicked" or "your gonna be kicked" in a very hostile manner. KKK guy stood up and that is when all hell broke loose. Somebody in the audience threw the chair. Oh.. I remember the KKK member pointing out that Geraldo Rivera's real name is actually Jerry Rivers, Geraldo quickly changed the subject and seemed a little embarrassed when kkk guy said that, probably true. Geraldo did apologize to the large black guy but he was the guy that started the whole melee. KKK guy said bad words but not the N-word and the words he used was not bleeped. It was a "talk show" not a fight show and Geraldo wanted to be provocative and the one of the guests was a kkk guy so what did he expect? ... oh, and they called those talk shows at the time "TRASH TV". That is what I remember 🤓
Jon-Erik Hexum was NOT playing russian roulette! This was a story put out by the production company AFTER his death to make themselves look innocent. In fact, the prop person did not take the gun away AS HE SHOULD HAVE, and Hexum fell asleep holding it. When he woke up, he found there was another delay and put the gun to his head JOKINGLY. The gun went off and the blank went into his brain. Source: Every article written at the time about what happened. Yes, I have the articles. The "russian roulette" story came out much later, and is NOT TRUE.
Peppard was apparently a terrible person on the set of "The A-Team". He was previously a movie actor and his most famous movie was "Breakfast At Tiffany's". There were rumors he resented being overshadowed by Audrey Hepburn in the film (even though Hepburn was meant to be the star of the film). Dwight Schultz, who played "Howling Mad" Murdock in "The A-Team" spoke about Peppard at a Q & A. 1) Peppard hated doing the show but needed the money and no one else would hire him because he was difficult to work with. He saw the show as beneath him. 2) When Schultz first met Peppard, George introduced himself by saying "I'm George Peppard, and I am not a very nice man". Schultz says that he found that a very weird way to introduce oneself, but George lived up to it, time and time again. He said George also said "People have accused me of beating my wife. It's not true, because if ever hit her, she wouldn't be around to tell about it". 3) He confirmed the stuff about Melinda Culea and Marla Heasley. 4)Peppard HATED Mr T. He resented T for barely having any acting roles before doing the show, but being the most popular star of the show, and got more fan mail. He resented T getting more money because Mr T was huge in the 80s and had his own line of merchandise as well as "A-Team" merchandise, thought T embarrassed the show by being involved in wrestling, (and having Hulk Hogan guest star in a couple of eps). There was also some racism involved. Peppard and T had physical fights on the set and wouldn't even speak to each other. Dirk Benedict (who played Faceman) had to pass message between Peppard and T because they were no longer speaking to each other outside of scenes. Peppard demanded to leave at 5pm every night and would drive off on the dot. Schultz said that he and Benedict shared more scenes because they can film them after five and George had gone home, and T was in his trailer, upset over his latest fight with Peppard. Robert Vaughan was brought in the last season because he had been George's best man and they thought he would calm Peppard down and make him work with T, but even he couldn't control him. 5) Peppard got worse the longer the show went on, and everyone on set hated him. 6) No one from the show was allowed to attend his funeral, as George told his family he didn't want any of them there.
@@dhenderson1810 Even Audrey Hepburn, one of the most pleasant personalities ever to grace Hollywood, had some not so great things to say about Peppard.
@shimmeringfairydust3275 Yeah but you knew what you were getting with Louis CK. He wasn't like, a preacher during the day or anything. He was openly gross and pushed that bar to its limit, regularly. I am a little surprised He denied anything, though. That's not really his style
24:52 Naya didn’t just drown she went out like a champ. She died the same way Jack died in the titanic. Her life for another’s. She died so her child would live
@@pooky-bellegaming4089 wasn't even an easy death the reason she drowned was do to her treding water fighting the current for a good while (probably around 30 minutes to an hour) to get her son to safety she didn't just die of drowning which is a horrible way to die in and of itself but also exhaustion she gave him everything so he would live
Some worth mentioning that weren’t: The murder of Judith Barsi Christine Chubbuck’s final newscast Fergie Olver’s predatory on-screen behavior towards young girls Tetsushi Yanagida breaking his neck and nearly drowning in mud while his cohosts pushed him thinking he was playing around
@@lazyhomebody1356I don’t. I was stalked & got a restraining order. No need to kill the guy without something really, really severe. Homophobia is alive & well, it seems. If a woman stalked me, I’d do the same thing I did with the guy - get the police involved. If it escalates, and the cops do nothing, that’s another entirely different situation.
Jenny Jones Show ~ Talk about leaving out a HUGE detail! The straight guy was cool about the reveal on the show. He was cool about it after the show was over. Taking his Out & Proud friend to dinner to discuss the situation. At which time he made it clear to him that he wasn't interested in having an intimate relationship with him. But also mentioning he was fine with continuing their casual friendship. Things seemed good.... Until the next day when his friend left him a literally obscene letter in which he graphically mentioned all of the perverted things he wanted to do to him, and that he wasn't taking "No" for an answer. Making it clear that a casual friendship was definitely not what he wanted. It was only after that his straight friend unalived him. Bit of an important detail.
I just looked it up: it said the guy left a note on his door and when he realized it was from the his gay friend he went and bought a shotgun, went to his house, and shot him. His reasons was that he was afraid people would think he was gay. Honestly, the note doesn’t make it any less disgusting that a man would murder his friend because he’s homophobic.
@@katieedwards5926 Wasn't just a homophobic scare. Wasn't just a simple note. No clue where you got your info. from. It was a very graphic and detailed letter that made it clear his friend was a dangerous and obsessed stalker. Honestly, if this involved a straight male stalker and a woman who went out, bought a weapon and did what _she_ did out of fear; you'd be championing *her* cause.
@@katieedwards5926also, apparently the show promised him it WASNT the gay friend confessing. The show had also lied to him to be able to embarrass him on national TV. There’s so many more details to that case. Still not condoning murder but the other guy was very far from some nice guy with a little crush.
Not sure where you got your information, but thank you for letting all us women know that is totally acceptable to resort to violence against unwanted advances by a man. Makes all the difference in the world. (Laced heavily with sarcasm and many eye rolls). You see, women have been stalked and harassed and told some moron “Will not take no for an answer”. You need help. You are obviously very fragile. A letter. Unwanted attention. That’s all it takes for a fragile man to justify murder.
Theres also Christine Chubbuck. Bud Dwyer was an ass for doing it live, imagine having a wife and kids and still go through with it in a setting where they can see the whole thing.
@@karolinitortelliniThe worse thing was that he was accused of corruption, and it so destroyed his career and life that he unlived himself live on air. Yet it was later revealed that the person who made the allegation had lied and Budd was innocent.
Schmitz didn't kill that man bc he revealed he had a crush on him. He shot that man bc AFTER he told him he wasn't interested on the show and when they got to their city, the other gentleman showed up to Schmitz house and started flirting with him and coming on to him again. And he wasn't Schmitz best friend. He was a friend of Schmitz's best friend who was a woman
The Quiz Show Scandals were a huge scandal in the early days of television, the big three game shows were Dotto, The $64,000 Question, and Twenty-One. Those got caught in the scandal.
It is too! I saw a rerun last night. Darlene was trying to get her bf back after cheating on him. She said, "Okay...what if I kill Mark as a romantic gesture?"
@@jennifers8843I agree! It was completely forgettable! Without Roseanne, the show lost that comedic magic it once had. I’d actually forgotten all about it.

I hope they talk about the secretary of treasury in Pennsylvania that shot himself through the mouth on tv infront of millions and 50 people in person... Guys name was R. Budd dwyer
9:32 the actual story of this is smitz was firends with the girl and not the guy. The producers lied about it being a woman. He wasnt best friends with the guy. He lost the plot because a couple of days after filming the guy left him a suggestive note despite him telling him he wasn't interested. Anyhoo just a minor fact check.
i completely believe the accusations against ellen. my best friend use to work for her show. she hated her job but needed the income and told me a few horror stories of working for ellen. she told me this years before the public accusations were made so i completely believe her stories based on the accusations against ellen.
My father, when he was a kid, was a small time child actor, from commercials to modeling. Right before my dad decided he didn't want to be a child actor, he met Bill Cosby. My dad taught Bill Cosby the "Jelly Finger"...the weird thing he'd do with his two index fingers together and wiggle them. My dad was telling that story to my husband one day as he saw the picture of my dad as a kid with Bill Cosby and then said "I bet you're glad you decided not to go through with acting."
Rip Taylor was a mean, heartless SOB. Here is my firsthand account of his actions: I was 18 and volunteering at the 1984 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Everything was going fine as Rip was doing his act. As soon as he was done and the camera cut off, I hear Rip tell his lackey, "Get me away from these f*ing kids" I was in shock as he walked right past me. At that moment I decided I was done. I put my donation basket on a table and walked out. Lucky was canceled because it was too much like real life. Horses are not fully developed at 3 years old, yet alone the 2 yrs old when they start training. A lot of horses have these same injuries every single year.
The drake bell situation goes so much deeper. He knew the victim as a minor, took her to shows, allegedly assaulted her multiple times and refused to say so in the court- which was on zoom by the way. He would not stop shaking his head, LAUGHING and even mouthing 'this didnt happen' with the biggest smirk on his face. BECAUSE the decrepid judge did not understand how instagram worked (the platform he used to groom) he got away with the minimum charge- After that got arrested for trying to take a minor over the boarder... Listening to the victim, seeing the instagram messages and his emittance to some charges just shows he never had remorse. I hated this case- not enough justice
two moments that are dark that were missed, 1. Ryan Jenkins 2. all the way back in 2001 a contestant on Big Brother held a knife to a woman throat on live tv.
Steve Irwin death was incredibly painful tragic. He loved helping animals and teach us about the animals, how he wanted us to protect and respect them 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Forgotten shameful moment: There was this other family The Willis family, all musical and religious, who had a tv-show after being on America's got talent. With the dad who managed them, and as it turned out SA several minors, amongst which were his daughters. Very tragic.
I'm surprised you mentioned Owen Hart's death, but didn't mention anything about the Chris Benoit incident which is probably the blackest day in all of professional wrestling.
I saw a video of Tommy Cooper's passing a good few decades ago. He sort of sagged to the ground and then snored loudly for a bit, which made the audience laugh. If I remember correctly, a couple of people came up on stage and moved him behind the curtain, which was when the audience realised it wasn't part of the act...
11:08 Excuse me, what? I've been a Power Rangers fan for 30+ years and this is the first I'm hearing about Alison MacInnis being mistreated by the franchise. What is your source on this?
To be fair they had just collaborated on an album and dvd aimed at young kids. It might (knowing how child focused the wiggles were) have been a way for younger children to discuss and realise about death. They've never been fame hungry so would be odd if they just did it to be seen.
Chris Benoit. We got an episode of Raw honoring him and his legacy until we found out the next day what happened and Vince McMahon said his name would never be mentioned again. (Ironic now)
Poor Janette. I read her book😢. My daughter was a huge iCarly fan so I saw every episode of the first 4 seasons for sure. And Sam was obsessed with food. She had purse chicken. By looking at her a grown up could tell that she wasn't a big eater. That poor young lady

Just want to point out, it wasn't "several" allegations against Saville; at least 450 alleged victims came forward, and over 200 charges were recorded.
Literally! I heard the narrator say "several allegations" and I felt like I was living in an alternate universe. The phrasing completely downplays the extent of his abuse! I genuinely do not think they could have phrased it worse.
And those were just the living ones. The dead couldn’t tell anyone 😬
Its mojo ffs, they're wrong about so much shit and a lot like the BBC in the way they try to minimise stuff 😂
@@mashthebananaTo be fair. Unless something has been proven, they have to say alleged. Say, your neighbor or whatever says something about you. So it’s true just because they said it? Is that how it’s going to work now? Say it and it’s true? That’s a pretty slippery slope to go down.--Not saying celebs don’t do everything un celebs do, but! there is a lot of people who will jump on anything to get their 15 minutes. 🤷♀️ 450 sounds like a lot.
V@@mangot589it's called "hearsay' and the reason why so many ra*pe cases never get to court
I remember crying like a baby when Steve Irwin died. His family has done a great job keeping his legacy alive.
Me too, he was a hero of mine and my mother still tells people how I was unconsolable after his death
I was not at all surprised he died.
However, I was shocked when I found out how.
I expected a gator or poisonous snake to get him.
A sting ray? Wow.
I was in my 20s when he died. I truly mourned him. Now, seeing his spitting image of a son on TikTok doing the exact same things he did, I can't even imagine how proud he would be to see his family now.
I’ve just left a comment myself if I’d have seen this I’d have commented here instead…. Basically saying whenever his name comes up it’s different from hearing about other celebrities, it feels more like I’ve lost someone I personally knew, worst part is since the first time any of us saw him it was kind of expected that we would lose him young but as we saw more of him I guess that opinion somewhat change but either way it more more shocking in those circumstances with an otherwise “safe” creature.
Crikeeee
Janette McCurdy is so important. She's helped me so much in my own self discovery and recovery from familial abuse
I have so much respect for her, and I'm so glad she helped you
Ditto for me also!
Jennette is true blue and she was absolutely correct about how like Arianna Grande is.
She’s so smart for getting out of there
When I read her book I thought, that book is part of my therapy. She's an amazing woman. And very talented.
If we should learn anything from Bill Cosby, it's that there should never be a statute of limitations with crimes like rape or child abuse.
There isn't in Australia
Unfortunately, life is not fair. There are a lot more people who got away with more. Just about every working woman over the age of 50 has been a victim of harassment or SA
@@GMAMEC There are also plenty of men who have been SA, but refuse to speak up out of embarrassment and/or because they're even less likely to be believed compared to women. The whole picture is really sad.
@ Thanks for sharing.
Right! It's a lifetime sentence for the abused
Something else that fucks me up about Owen Hart is that, according to people who witnessed it, his last words were telling people to look out. He knew he was about to die, and in his last moments, he wanted to be sure no one else got hurt. That says so much about the type of person he was. May his memory be a blessing
He was yelling at Jimmy Korderas, the ref for the match, to get out of the way because he was in that corner where Owen ended up falling onto. He got out of the way by mere inches.
Everything I've heard about Owen, he was such a wonderful person. A family man, just a good man. It's so sad. I can't imagine the fear he felt knowing he was going to die. He didn't deserve that. It seems like it's always the best people that die young and know that they are going to die. Why can't serial killers or rapists and abusers go that way?😔
He didnt know he was about to die, he knew was falling and about to hit and potentially hurt Jimmy Korderas, the ref for the match.
@@janiephillips4842 Like they always say, it's not the fall that hurts or kills, it's the sudden stop. So no, Owen didnt know he was going to die. He yelled to save Jimmy and surely was hoping he would survive the sudden stop he was about to endure.
Dan Schneider’s victims who have yet to come forward deserve to when they’re ready, but those did were very brave to call him out for the monster that he is.
They took payouts and signed NDAs.
@@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid NDAs don't protect against illegal behavior , please do some research before talking about child abuse
It's really unfortunate that none of his alleged victims ever came forward to the police, and that everything said about him lacks any physical evidence-just rumors and hearsay. Yet, here we are, tarnishing a man's reputation because it's easier than seeking the truth. America at its finest
@@vito7383 Oh, you are one of them. Pathetic
Diddy Schneider
Cheryl Bradshaw was fortunate that she listened to her gut instinct that told her not to be alone with Rodney Alcala, which saved her life.
Was thinking the same thing hope she's ok
Did you know that there is a Netflix movie about Cheryl. It’s called Women of the Hour. In it they said she actually went out for drinks with Rodney after the show. And it wasn’t until after they left the bar that she turned him down. And he almost kidnapped her. But thankfully she was saved by a group of employees leaving the bar just as he was getting ready to take her. Those employees were able to give her a chance to get in her car and get away. The movie showed eventually how he was caught for raping, kidnapping then murdering his victims.
@Idontwant1 that account isn't accurate though. Cheryl never went on a date with him. They dramatized it for the movie
@@kerrysater157
That’s kinda what I meant. In the movie Cheryl walked out of the studio. And Rodney was standing off to the side of the building. And he asked her to go to drinks. She agreed. But in the bar he was acting extremely creepy. And when they were out in the middle of this dark parking lot. He asked her for her phone number so they could set up their arrangements to for their date that was out of town. She gave him a fake number and he busted her by asking what’s number? Is that a 4 or a 9. And she said let me see I’ll tell you. And he said what you don’t know what you wrote??? And he then said so this is how you tell me that we aren’t going out. At that point she was standing at her car with the car door open. And he tried grabbing her. And that was when the employees came walking out. He looked at her and said you’re lucky. And he walked away. She got in her car and drove away from the lot before he could get in his car and follow her. At the start of the movie it said it was a true story. I know that if it’s just bits and pieces of the truth they must say BASED on a true story . But this said A true story.
@Idontwant1 Yes, it was directed by Anna Kendrick, and is getting very good reviews.
I thought degenerate was slimy to try to get Mariah Carey to drink alcohol when she knew she was pregnant. that shows a huge disregard for Mariah and her baby.

@antoniogann7434 because there was problems with the shuttle that were ignored, and the launch still happened.
@@antoniogann7434 ⬆ what they said

@@Muhammadwasapedo that's absolutely not what happened. with the info they had at launch everything was within accepted tolerances. it wasn't till after the investigation that followed did the find out about the frozen O rings. It was a tragic accident. why do American's always think there has to be someone to blame. it's rocketry, shit happens. it's inherently incredibly dangerous.
Oh, man.
Just say "Duggars" and I get mad immediately.
They made me think they were SO patient and such great parents.
Not exactly true. The older kids raised the younger kids and they know it.
With that many kids, there’s no way that the older kids weren’t raising the young ones. They always have to. It’s disgusting.
@@LucySharkeyart
I had one older brother by 2 years, so we weren't watching each other.
Then, when he was ten and I was eight, they went and had another kid.
I only had one little brother to watch and I resented the hell out of having to do it.
Imagine having, like, ten of them....
And to tray and pray away the incest
I found the parents to be creepy and cringy
Me too. Those parents, can’t even type their names, I don’t like them… they’re terrible, absolutely let those children down beyond words
Ellen forcing Mariah to reveal her pregnancy before she was ready was repulsive.
And she miscarried shortly after this show😢
@@jennifermassengill1635 oh my god :(
Christine Chubbuck… a 30-year-old woman who was hosting this morning TV show in Florida, she committed suicide live on camera after years of depression 💔
What’s even more tragic is that she’s ahead of her time by volunteering at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital by making kids with special needs smile by puppet shows and even brought her puppets to the talk show she hosted called the Suncoast Digest. A Tumblr user named tapesignal did an excellent job on exploring her life without spending too much time on her tragic death.
Watch the movie Christine, which is about her life and death.
thats horrible
Christine was a GREAT movie. I didn’t see a better performance by actress that year than Rebecca Hall in the title role.
@@milla0722 OMG -- that must have been a shocking thing to see 😞
The murder of Phil Hartman still hits me hard he was one of my favorites characters on the Simpsons

His story showed that men could be the victim and that women could be the abuser. I don't think most people really internalized this concept before.
@@RIP19851 That was a hard one for me and many others 😞
So so talented. His artwork alone was breathtaking!
I will always remember the news of Steve Irwin's passing. I watched Crocodile Hunter back in the mid-2000s and the news of his tragic death shocked me so much!
I didn’t believe it. Took me Seeing in on tv before I would.
Steve was secretly a practitioner of beastiality, who tried to feed his infant to a crocodile ! He got what he deserved!
Just Awful!!! Such a lovely Spirit
We were ALL shocked. He was a world treasure❤🎉🎉🎉
In a world full of Weinstein's, Diddy's, diddlers and murderers, remember that Steve Irwin existed. Steve Irwin was the embodyment of philanthropy and greatness. There is no dark side to Steve Irwin. He simply made the world a better place everywhere he went, enlightening and enriching everyone's lives that he touched, until he was taken by a freak accident, doing what he loved - making the world a better place. God bless you Steve Irwin.
Jimmy Saville's original headstone was a narcissistic dream😂 All praise me, so glad that the locals had it removed from the cemetery.
He was a disgusting pig. Good riddance.

All praise you? Nope, not gonna praise you.
@@davidfortier6976 I was referring to Jimmy Saville's former headstone were he had a long drawn out epitaph of how wonderful he was, lol. Not praise myself in particular. Duh
Thank you for including Jon-Erik Hexum. His death still breaks my heart.
That's never left my memory. Happened 40 years ago. You may have heard of Terry Kath, Chicago's guitarist. Roughly the same thing happened to him in 1978.
I enjoyed watching him in Voyagers! when I was a kid. He was a time traveler running across the ages trying to correct history.
@@axel4196 That was such a great show too!
Jon's was more 'stupid' than shameful. But still glad they had him in the list.
Yeah, but I thought the show he was working on was Silk Stalkings.
i have never cried over a celeb death before, or since i cried over Steve Irwin
Darkest and shameful are two pretty different things. This is a weird combination of tragedy and then scandals.
Yeah, it’s giving emotional whiplash.
Totally agree
Phil Hartman's wife was extremely abusive to him. She wasn't "acting erratically". She was abusing him.
There are two more incidents that should be on this list... the explosion of the Challenger shuttle, and the suicide of Budd Dyer.. both were on live TV and I watched both happen, talk about traumatizing.
I’m sure you’re fine.
Those two would be way more appropriate for this list than several of the ones that on here that are pretty much base speculation.
@@haji818721 especially Budd Dyer since everyone was watching that broadcast at the time, everyone knew he was a crook, it was big news, but no one expected him to unalive himself
Now maybe. But when you're a kid and your entire classroom is watching the launch and it explodes.....yeah it was traumatic. @@christim1252

300 million for Irwin. The guy was a global icon. Every kid and adult, heard of him, seen him, copied his voice when talking about animals. Even still today! There's nobody like him. Even watching this now made me sad.
And now we've lost the Steve Irwin of Africa! What is this world coming to?
the history of abuse and cover up at BBC deserves at least its own video
A reminder about Dan Schneider: Before he was a producer at Nickolodeon, he was an actor, his biggest role just a few years earlier on Head Of The Class, and earlier being the creepy son in Better Off Dead.
So you probably have seen him if you are Gen X.
He was Little Ricky in BOD!?
@@kaylahall1219 I had to look that up. If anyone is reading this it's a movie called Better off Dead, he was credited as Ricky Smith.
His boss at Nickelodean was a co-star of his on "Head Of The Class" (he was the character who wore glasses) and some feel that their friendship resulted in him turning a blind eye to Dan's indiscretions.
His co-star Brian Robbins is the head of Nick now.
I loved Head of the Class and now I can't bring myself to watch it.
Jimmy Saville: “severely minor abuse allegations”?!!!! That is the most INSAND UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!
They may have meant minor in the terms of the victims being minors
Why are you getting angry at watch mojo for a simple word. Be mad at jimmy and everyone who knew about it and just let him do what he wanted
@@lainiwakura666 CLEARLY I’m disgusted AT Saville, and all the people who covered up for him…and continue to do so by minimizing his actions after his death, and sweep the massive complicity of the people in power who let it happen! The entire point is that downplaying his actions allows for these, and similar crimes, to continue, because the systemic failure isn’t being addressed. Furthermore, this is an American video, so most viewers literally have no idea who Saville is!
Minor abuse, as in the abuse of minors.
What it actually says is "severe minor abuse." Like terrible abuse and a lot of it.
"Severely minor" wouldn't really make sense.
I thought they’d cover the Power Ranger who killed his roommate with a sword in 2017 and the Power Ranger(did not have a speaking part) who participated in a horrible triple murder in 2008.
What?!!
@ read about the murder of Thomas and Jackie Hawks if you have the stomach for it. Skylar Deleon was in Power Ranger commercials. Very awful crime. Incidentally has changed gender in prison.
The other murder was red ranger Recardo Medina killed his roommate with a sword.
Many of these were terrible and despicable, but I'd like to hear more about that Extreme Makeover scandal!! This poor girl's family felt the need to insult and degrade her looks on television (which it never aired but they didn't know that until after)?! What an awful family and the poor girl now has to live with knowing all of this. It's heartbreaking.
It was part of the show to have family/friends tear contestants' looks apart, not just this one family who did it. It was horrible, of course, but I assume producers told them to really rip into their loved one to make for "good" TV.
The producers told them it was part of the show. That it was a requirement to be on it. They were under the impression that the show would air, that the contestant would actually know that they didn't mean what they said, and that it was the only way for her to get her makeover
@@TeniBear10 I don't blame the family, but I think what the TV show did - producers, people whose idea that family and friends HAD to say hurtful things about the subject for entertainment, is just disgusting.
@@TeniBear10 The family should have refused.

Steve Irwin died on my birthday; September 4th, 2006. He was my hero as a little 10 year old, and I dreamed of working at his Zoo.
I woke up from a nap on the couch to the news on the TV announcing his death. It was so surreal, and it's almost as if God or something woke me up to hear it. It's still haunted me after nearly 20 years.
RIP Steve Irwin, a gentle man and a gentle soul.
he constantly harrassed wildlife - that´s why he died.
@@cinnamon8884 Yeah, he was up there with poachers. We have to remember that animals have feelings and don't go on instinct. Simply touching them causes them intense military vet-esque PTSD. Crocodiles are notoriously sensitive emotionally. You're 100% right, guy.

@@brodiger unexpected? lol how?

What's really messed up is Jim Ross was literally told over his earpiece from WWF producer Kevin Dunn to say "Announce that Owen's dead. Back to the show."

I remember. The entire nation Down Under went into mourning. We were devastated here in the States as well. A Stingray! He PLAYED with black Mamba Snakes.....but he died by a stingray
Budd Dwyer should be number one
Another tragic fact in the Phil Hartman murder: He actually gave his wife that gun. They both loved guns and he gave her the gun for her birthday (maybe anniversary, I forget) before she killed him on that fateful day. I watched a special on it, I forget which channel.
It was Season Two of Dark Side of Comedy on VICE. I watched that episode before on Dish, channel 121. And you're right with the first answer of Phil given Bryann the gun on her birthday.
Shows why guns are dangerous and need heavy restrictions.
@ wow. No it does not. It shows that you shouldn’t give a weapon to a psychopath tho. Most of the world just has guns. Literally one per household. And those countries have very little gun violence. The problem is that we don’t raise our children, so they grow up to be batards with guns and no regard for human life. It has nothing to do with regulation, which only makes legal law abiding citizens give up their guns while criminals still have them. Idiot.
@@dhenderson1810 Exactly. Never know who might kill someone or themselves for that matter if they have a gun.
I’ve read Jennette McCurdy’s book and listen to her narrated and from what I know it makes total sense now of what she went through especially with how her mom treated her and made her go into acting. It’s so sad what she went through and honestly thankful. She retired from acting after everything she’s gone through. She also talks about Dan Schneider who she calls the creator after everything he did to her as well. I’ve watched on the set which is a documentary series about him and, everything they say about him makes sense especially with Jennette McCurdy when she released her memoir and talked about him. I met her along time ago at CAPITOL RECORDS and Hollywood. They were doing a filming for cupcake wars, and CAPITOL RECORDS Nashville was there and I was lucky to see her. I went through my face of listening to her music and watching her on iCarly and Sam and Cat, even though she retired, I’m thankful she’s happy that people like me to watch her on these shows and I still like listening to her music generation. Love is such a beautiful song and I I also like put your arms around someone. It’s the song about giving hugs. I’m not that in the country music but either way I will always support her.

The Cosby show was one of the biggest shows when i was a kid (in Australia) it was on in prime time , i remember eating tea alot with the Cosby show on , and knowing what i know now , it just ruined a bit of my Childhood that was awesome.
Between The Cosby Show, Different Strokes, Family Ties and Growing Pains, those were the Big shows when i was a kid in the 80's and 90's. We dont get shows like those anymore ....
That wasn't the only sitcom scandal unfolding at that time, because Australia had "Hey, Dad!". Just like The Cosby Show, it was the actor who played the father who was eventually found guilty of multiple charges, including inappropriate conduct against a fellow cast member, who was a child at the time. I'm being as vague as possible on purpose, but the perp in question ended up leaving the country.
I understand that. Long before The Cosby Show we were listening to Bill Cosby albums as a family. He was a staple in my home. Spent every Saturday watching Fat Albert as a kid. My heart truly breaks for his victims, because I know from personal experience that it stays with you and changes you in ways that will affect the rest of your life. So the gut punch I felt because my childhood memories were ripped away pales in comparison to, but it was still a gut punch to those of us that grew up on Cosby.

I remember watching a Geraldo episode in school where he had some KKK members on and a fight broke out when I think one of them called Geraldo a racial slur. He had a broken nose.
Nope, I watched that episode and what happened was:> They were all seated and the KKK member was calling one of the guests that was a very large black man racial slurs, and then the large black man stood up and hovered over the kkk member repeating "your gonna get kicked" or "your gonna be kicked" in a very hostile manner. KKK guy stood up and that is when all hell broke loose. Somebody in the audience threw the chair. Oh.. I remember the KKK member pointing out that Geraldo Rivera's real name is actually Jerry Rivers, Geraldo quickly changed the subject and seemed a little embarrassed when kkk guy said that, probably true. Geraldo did apologize to the large black guy but he was the guy that started the whole melee. KKK guy said bad words but not the N-word and the words he used was not bleeped. It was a "talk show" not a fight show and Geraldo wanted to be provocative and the one of the guests was a kkk guy so what did he expect? ... oh, and they called those talk shows at the time "TRASH TV".

The A-Team star’s name is pronounced Pep-PARD not Peppered
I can see how a younger person could make that mistake, but it still made me laugh. Peppered. 😂
Peppard was apparently a terrible person on the set of "The A-Team".
He was previously a movie actor and his most famous movie was "Breakfast At Tiffany's". There were rumors he resented being overshadowed by Audrey Hepburn in the film (even though Hepburn was meant to be the star of the film).
Dwight Schultz, who played "Howling Mad" Murdock in "The A-Team" spoke about Peppard at a Q & A.
1) Peppard hated doing the show but needed the money and no one else would hire him because he was difficult to work with. He saw the show as beneath him.
2) When Schultz first met Peppard, George introduced himself by saying "I'm George Peppard, and I am not a very nice man".
Schultz says that he found that a very weird way to introduce oneself, but George lived up to it, time and time again.
He said George also said "People have accused me of beating my wife. It's not true, because if ever hit her, she wouldn't be around to tell about it".
3) He confirmed the stuff about Melinda Culea and Marla Heasley.
4)Peppard HATED Mr T. He resented T for barely having any acting roles before doing the show, but being the most popular star of the show, and got more fan mail. He resented T getting more money because Mr T was huge in the 80s and had his own line of merchandise as well as "A-Team" merchandise, thought T embarrassed the show by being involved in wrestling, (and having Hulk Hogan guest star in a couple of eps). There was also some racism involved.
Peppard and T had physical fights on the set and wouldn't even speak to each other. Dirk Benedict (who played Faceman) had to pass message between Peppard and T because they were no longer speaking to each other outside of scenes.
Peppard demanded to leave at 5pm every night and would drive off on the dot.
Schultz said that he and Benedict shared more scenes because they can film them after five and George had gone home, and T was in his trailer, upset over his latest fight with Peppard.
Robert Vaughan was brought in the last season because he had been George's best man and they thought he would calm Peppard down and make him work with T, but even he couldn't control him.
5) Peppard got worse the longer the show went on, and everyone on set hated him.
6) No one from the show was allowed to attend his funeral, as George told his family he didn't want any of them there.
@@dhenderson1810 Yeah, I've read that he was pretty much an a-hole a lot of the time. It's a shame.
@@dhenderson1810 Even Audrey Hepburn, one of the most pleasant personalities ever to grace Hollywood, had some not so great things to say about Peppard.
I read jenettes book and i feel awful for everythin shes gone through. Dont feel bad her mum died
Louis C.K. admitted the accusations after initially denying them. That detail is important.
Yeah, I thought he was one of the “good guys.” Sadly, he wasn’t.
@shimmeringfairydust3275 Yeah but you knew what you were getting with Louis CK. He wasn't like, a preacher during the day or anything. He was openly gross and pushed that bar to its limit, regularly. I am a little surprised He denied anything, though. That's not really his style
You got that whole Jenny Jones Show thing wrong the lady was his best friend not the gay guy and the gay guy constantly harassed him
Great job by the artist 1:59 😂😂
Right? That was a petty portrait if I ever saw one. 😂
@@Didsomeonesayroadtrip lol 😅😅
😂😂😂 oh I had missed that. Thanks!
What Jeanette McCurdy endured, is the same as some child today, but with family vlogs.
Lots of “loveable moms” (and some dads) on RUclips are now being brought to justice for the horrible child abuse they inflicted.
Ellen learned of things? She should have asked Ellen.
"I'm called the Banana, and I look really good"
9:44 to kill a man for having a crush on you is ridiculous. But then again people get killed over cold french fries
24:52
Naya didn’t just drown she went out like a champ.
She died the same way Jack died in the titanic. Her life for another’s. She died so her child would live
Poor darling. Both of them.
Indeed-Naya died so her little boy could live.
@@pooky-bellegaming4089 wasn't even an easy death
the reason she drowned was do to her treding water fighting the current for a good while (probably around 30 minutes to an hour) to get her son to safety
she didn't just die of drowning which is a horrible way to die in and of itself but also exhaustion
she gave him everything so he would live
Some worth mentioning that weren’t:
The murder of Judith Barsi
Christine Chubbuck’s final newscast
Fergie Olver’s predatory on-screen behavior towards young girls
Tetsushi Yanagida breaking his neck and nearly drowning in mud while his cohosts pushed him thinking he was playing around
10:25 It's crazy how you can go through so much behind the scenes but on camera looks so normal and happy. In real life you can't trust anything
The guy didn't only use the "gay panic" defense. The other guy had started stalking and harassing him for those 3 days.
Yep. Ppl seem the leave that part-the most important part, out. He was a sick stalker.
Yes! I understand the harrassed guy
@@lazyhomebody1356I don’t. I was stalked & got a restraining order. No need to kill the guy without something really, really severe. Homophobia is alive & well, it seems. If a woman stalked me, I’d do the same thing I did with the guy - get the police involved. If it escalates, and the cops do nothing, that’s another entirely different situation.
@@shimmeringfairydust3275 It did! The guy kept coming to his door. He was deranged and dangerous
@ why didn’t he get the police involved, then? That’s their job.
Jenny Jones Show ~
Talk about leaving out a HUGE detail! The straight guy was cool about the reveal on the show. He was cool about it after the show was over. Taking his Out & Proud friend to dinner to discuss the situation. At which time he made it clear to him that he wasn't interested in having an intimate relationship with him. But also mentioning he was fine with continuing their casual friendship. Things seemed good.... Until the next day when his friend left him a literally obscene letter in which he graphically mentioned all of the perverted things he wanted to do to him, and that he wasn't taking "No" for an answer. Making it clear that a casual friendship was definitely not what he wanted. It was only after that his straight friend unalived him. Bit of an important detail.
I just looked it up: it said the guy left a note on his door and when he realized it was from the his gay friend he went and bought a shotgun, went to his house, and shot him. His reasons was that he was afraid people would think he was gay. Honestly, the note doesn’t make it any less disgusting that a man would murder his friend because he’s homophobic.
Absolutely, op. His "friend" was a stalker and a horrible person for not repeating him.
@@katieedwards5926
Wasn't just a homophobic scare. Wasn't just a simple note. No clue where you got your info. from. It was a very graphic and detailed letter that made it clear his friend was a dangerous and obsessed stalker. Honestly, if this involved a straight male stalker and a woman who went out, bought a weapon and did what _she_ did out of fear; you'd be championing *her* cause.
@@katieedwards5926also, apparently the show promised him it WASNT the gay friend confessing. The show had also lied to him to be able to embarrass him on national TV. There’s so many more details to that case. Still not condoning murder but the other guy was very far from some nice guy with a little crush.
Not sure where you got your information, but thank you for letting all us women know that is totally acceptable to resort to violence against unwanted advances by a man. Makes all the difference in the world. (Laced heavily with sarcasm and many eye rolls). You see, women have been stalked and harassed and told some moron “Will not take no for an answer”. You need help. You are obviously very fragile. A letter. Unwanted attention. That’s all it takes for a fragile man to justify murder.
Not even close. Nothing can compare to the Bud Dwyer incident on live tv during a news conference.
there's an understatement, that image still haunts me. made me sick to my stomach when I watched it on youtube
Theres also Christine Chubbuck. Bud Dwyer was an ass for doing it live, imagine having a wife and kids and still go through with it in a setting where they can see the whole thing.
@@karolinitortelliniThe worse thing was that he was accused of corruption, and it so destroyed his career and life that he unlived himself live on air.
Yet it was later revealed that the person who made the allegation had lied and Budd was innocent.
@@dhenderson1810 I've read about it and that's not really what happened.
@@karolinitortellinino he saved his family and he made it public so there is no misinformation
Schmitz didn't kill that man bc he revealed he had a crush on him. He shot that man bc AFTER he told him he wasn't interested on the show and when they got to their city, the other gentleman showed up to Schmitz house and started flirting with him and coming on to him again. And he wasn't Schmitz best friend. He was a friend of Schmitz's best friend who was a woman
Yeah they really dropped the ball on that entry
Thank you! They always leave that.part out.
Couldn't have just said no to him a bit more firmly, nope, had to shoot him. Unhinged.
@@laurenisalltherage no one is saying he should have gone straight to shooting him but it's also true they left a lot out
@@bdshank I wouldn't, but go off. There is no reason for him to shoot the guy dead. He used the gay panic defense which is shitty in and of itself.
Finding out that the creator of Ren and Stimpy was a massive perve was a shock for me. Can't watch that show the same ever again.
Same reason I can never watch the jeepers creepers movies again
gross... i always thought the cartoon itself was creepy
Ren and Stimpy is obviously the work of a disturbed mind.
It doesn't bother me at all. Just last night I thought of "the Dane's have a word for it: Spum!" and laughed. And Jeepers Creepers is in my Top 10
@@Al-jf6vzhahaha true!
It wasn’t George peppered it’s George Peppard!!
Wouldn’t be a WatchMojo video without a pronunciation mistake.
Absolutely LOVED this vid! Super interesting and straight to the point. Keep up the good work 🌟
The Quiz Show Scandals were a huge scandal in the early days of television, the big three game shows were Dotto, The $64,000 Question, and Twenty-One. Those got caught in the scandal.
Saw the movie "Quiz Show" about the scandals.
Highly recommend it.
@@dhenderson1810excellent film!
@@dhenderson1810 Is it currently streaming anywhere? If so, where?
The Roseanne show continued, under the name The Conners, without Roseanne Barr.
And got more viewers.
@@gfear24why, it wasn’t funny
It is too! I saw a rerun last night. Darlene was trying to get her bf back after cheating on him. She said, "Okay...what if I kill Mark as a romantic gesture?"
@@jennifers8843I agree! It was completely forgettable! Without Roseanne, the show lost that comedic magic it once had. I’d actually forgotten all about it.
In Roseanne’s defense, and to quote her, she ‘didn’t know the bitch was black’. She’s pretty funny, but not woke.
Should be noted that Drake Bell was lied about the girl's age, he thought she was an adult
Not a valid or legal excuse, although it could be an affirmative defense if the age gap was a few years.
Anyone else remember Dan Schneider from his acting role in "Head of the Class" with Howard Hesseman, back in the 80s?
I do. He played an overweight class clown who used humor to compensate. He was on there with Robin Givens
Better of Dead
I remember that. He played a character named Eric
That was Him, I didn't know that!!!
@@melissacannici9722 Actually his character's name was Dennis. Eric was the cool one....played by Brian Robbins who ended up CO- Creating Kenan and Kel with Schneider!!
I hope they talk about the secretary of treasury in Pennsylvania that shot himself through the mouth on tv infront of millions and 50 people in person...
Guys name was R. Budd dwyer
You mean in front of 1 million people? I've seen the video.....One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.
@georgespalding7640 well i mean 50 people in person. Not including those who saw it on tv or on video.
Honestly wasnt that bad, iv seen far far worse.
@@kennithlibby it wasn't just the graphic nature, but the context of the whole surprise package.
I saw it happen LIVE as it happened on TV 📺
The band, Filter, wrote "Hey Man Nice Shot" about the incident.
9:32 the actual story of this is smitz was firends with the girl and not the guy. The producers lied about it being a woman. He wasnt best friends with the guy. He lost the plot because a couple of days after filming the guy left him a suggestive note despite him telling him he wasn't interested. Anyhoo just a minor fact check.
Alcala's victims also included GIRLS, as young as 8 and 12. NOT "women," girls.
i completely believe the accusations against ellen. my best friend use to work for her show. she hated her job but needed the income and told me a few horror stories of working for ellen. she told me this years before the public accusations were made so i completely believe her stories based on the accusations against ellen.
What a strange mix of stories. Doesn’t seem right that some of these are on the same list together.
I thought of Budd Dwyer. My goodness...everyone in that room...I don't know how they moved forward.
Budd Dwyers video was my first time to ever see anything horrific like that. It still haunts me. 😬
My father, when he was a kid, was a small time child actor, from commercials to modeling. Right before my dad decided he didn't want to be a child actor, he met Bill Cosby. My dad taught Bill Cosby the "Jelly Finger"...the weird thing he'd do with his two index fingers together and wiggle them. My dad was telling that story to my husband one day as he saw the picture of my dad as a kid with Bill Cosby and then said "I bet you're glad you decided not to go through with acting."
Bill preferred them older, and female.
Rip Taylor was a mean, heartless SOB. Here is my firsthand account of his actions:
I was 18 and volunteering at the 1984 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Everything was going fine as Rip was doing his act. As soon as he was done and the camera cut off, I hear Rip tell his lackey, "Get me away from these f*ing kids" I was in shock as he walked right past me. At that moment I decided I was done. I put my donation basket on a table and walked out.
Lucky was canceled because it was too much like real life. Horses are not fully developed at 3 years old, yet alone the 2 yrs old when they start training. A lot of horses have these same injuries every single year.
Rip Taylor looks like the Cowardly Lion from the Judy Garland "Wizard Of Oz".
The drake bell situation goes so much deeper. He knew the victim as a minor, took her to shows, allegedly assaulted her multiple times and refused to say so in the court- which was on zoom by the way. He would not stop shaking his head, LAUGHING and even mouthing 'this didnt happen' with the biggest smirk on his face. BECAUSE the decrepid judge did not understand how instagram worked (the platform he used to groom) he got away with the minimum charge- After that got arrested for trying to take a minor over the boarder... Listening to the victim, seeing the instagram messages and his emittance to some charges just shows he never had remorse.
I hated this case- not enough justice
yup and think about how quiet on the set made sure to steer clear of it all
two moments that are dark that were missed,
1. Ryan Jenkins
2. all the way back in 2001 a contestant on Big Brother held a knife to a woman throat on live tv.
Thank you for including Owen Hart
This channel has gone from making fun original video topics to re hashing the same topic, just longer runtime
And, all they do now is copy videos from Actual creators.
I expected Jos Whedon's behavior to get a big mention here.
Steve Irwin death was incredibly painful tragic. He loved helping animals and teach us about the animals, how he wanted us to protect and respect them 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Forgotten shameful moment: There was this other family The Willis family, all musical and religious, who had a tv-show after being on America's got talent. With the dad who managed them, and as it turned out SA several minors, amongst which were his daughters. Very tragic.
I've enjoyed the loss of numbering segments. it seems more reputable and less hokie with bulletpoints
Hmm,I didn't notice this until reading this. It is really nice
They usually do that with videos with a dark or depressing tone
I'm surprised you mentioned Owen Hart's death, but didn't mention anything about the Chris Benoit incident which is probably the blackest day in all of professional wrestling.
I saw a video of Tommy Cooper's passing a good few decades ago. He sort of sagged to the ground and then snored loudly for a bit, which made the audience laugh. If I remember correctly, a couple of people came up on stage and moved him behind the curtain, which was when the audience realised it wasn't part of the act...
11:08 Excuse me, what? I've been a Power Rangers fan for 30+ years and this is the first I'm hearing about Alison MacInnis being mistreated by the franchise. What is your source on this?

Not that big of a fan then

How is it supposed to be pronounced? That's how I've always heard the word.

The wiggles doing the funeral in character is pretty bad all by itself
To be fair they had just collaborated on an album and dvd aimed at young kids. It might (knowing how child focused the wiggles were) have been a way for younger children to discuss and realise about death. They've never been fame hungry so would be odd if they just did it to be seen.
The woman complaining about the A-Team on a show called the A-Team about four men in a group called the A-Team 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kids Nation should been on this list
Chris Benoit. We got an episode of Raw honoring him and his legacy until we found out the next day what happened and Vince McMahon said his name would never be mentioned again. (Ironic now)
Hey Ms. Mojo, Nick Crowley already made a video series on this topic. Strongly recommend it.
All the Mojo channels just copy actual creators. The writer can't think for themselves on Mojo channels.
@@Falconer22 Oh, you are one of them. Ugh
Cant stand the way he talks

Steve Irwin's death wasn't shameful. What an awful thing to say right after him being 30th on your list.
Poor Janette. I read her book😢. My daughter was a huge iCarly fan so I saw every episode of the first 4 seasons for sure. And Sam was obsessed with food. She had purse chicken. By looking at her a grown up could tell that she wasn't a big eater. That poor young lady
It’s a lot more than not being a “big eater” as you know if you read her book…. She struggles with anorexia and bulimia, plus OCD.
