Kevin Spacey
Maybe Matt Lauer can be redeemed with a lot of therapy and mental health help. If Spider-Man No Way Home has taught us something is that sometimes rehabilitation is better than punishment. However, there are those who can’t be redeemed because the harm was too big; those being Cosby, Weinstein, or R Kelly
I Don't Think That Subway Will Ever Work With Jared Ever Again
Honorable mention: Lindsey Lohan
For those in other countries that do not know much of OJ Simpson, one of his lawyers was Robert Kardashian - so we have OJ to blame for the rise of the Kardashians... now we can All despise him!
Errr the OJ case is famous globally. Everyone knows about it, so you don’t have to use that as a springboard to demonstrate your hatred for a family whose antics don’t even effect you.
True that about Kardashians !
Although how much is Robert Kardashian to blame for how his offspring turned out? Robert’s wife gained full custody of his kids when he divorced his wife. And Robert’s kids were still minors when it happened
That stupid bullshit circus of a trial is also the reason why many viewers like myself lost a lot of daytime soaps cuz they were always being preempted so by the time the shitshow was over the numbers went so low and many people never tuned back into their serials 😡😡😡
you do know that oj was covering up for his violent insane son, he was put in jail for stabbing someone almost like what happened with the murders hes still covering for his son to this day
I'm surprised Dan Schneider of Nickelodeon fame wasn't mentioned here. With how he treated a lot of the network's child stars (and I am sure some of the parents got involved as well), it really put a damper on not just his legacy, but the legacy of the network.
It was not bad
I think the main reason it wasn’t mentioned is because Dan Schneider was never famous enough to be a household name nor be recognized by strangers on any street outside of California.
Thanks, for that, as I, too, was wondering about Dan Schneider's absence, from the list.
Did Dan Schneider have a “downfall” though? I wasn’t aware of any career trouble or tangible consequence from his behavior. I thought that was part of why people are upset about it.
In the words of Mort from Madagascar... FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
What annoys me about the whole R. Kelly scandal is that people knew he was a creep but kept it on the down low and let him get away with it. At least he's finally going to be locked up, sick bastard.
Same with Harvy and Cosby. People tend to look the other way when powerful men do bad things. Or at least they had. Hopefully, that time has passed.
The only reason why'd they looked the other way was because they were in on it and being paid for their silence but now that that aren't being paid they decided to speak up now. Which I believe is bogus they should have spoke up a long time.
Who keeps an eye on them?
YES. We were joking (distastefully) about R. Kelly peeing on a girl in like 2000. And then all of a sudden in 2019 everyone loses their minds.
And the parents that knew and kept his hush money...smh
I worked at CBS in 1996 while Bill Cosby had a show there. Not only could you hear him screaming at various people down hallways, but the word was out among women to keep away from him.
Bill Cosby is innocent, not one shred of DNA evidence or witnesses, bitter angry women trying to get money
God knows how they kept his real character a complete secret for such a long time.
Never thought I'd be this thankful for Hannibal Buress
A friend who use to work in a South Lake Tahoe casino also said he acted like a real "diva" and would frequently scream and swear at employees when he performed there.
Joss Whedon should’ve been on this list considering his reputation has been damaged goods thanks to his behind the scenes on-set behavior from Josstice League.
Damn right
@Joshua Mohlman
What was Joss Whedon's behavior, on set of Josstice League?
Too right. But it’s not just his behavior on that project..he’s always been a monster.
And in te Buffy the Vampire Slayer show
Also in regards to his mistreatment of the cast on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, mainly Charisma Carpenter
While never a fan of Milli Vanilli's music it's a shame what happened to them. Frank Farian is the true villain in their story. Frank's work with Boney M inspired him to attempt this again with not so spectacular results for Rob and Fab. Milli Vanilli didn't deserve the backlash they received and Frank went on unscathed.
I agree. Even though they were fake singers, they shouldn't have taken all the blame.
Meanwhile people are getting famous on TikTok today for basically doing the same thing 😂
@@skwisgarskwigelf7191 it's no different than when John Kerry was running for president and he changed stances on issues people called him a flip-flopper. But in the trump era, it's just "changing your mind."
Shia Leboeuf is an example of why mental health has suddenly become so important for our generation. Nothing changes in our society until we start having tough conversations. It has to be said.
This!!
Shia doesn't have mental health issues, he's just a jerk, society has berm brainwashed Into believing everyone has mental problems
Being a child star puts pressure on your life
Honestly Jared should've gotten more than 15 years
Definitely; he’s happy with anything under 18 years
People who commit his crimes should automatically get life imprisonment without parole
Ironic how South Park predicted he was a perv.
I think Jared only got 15 years because he pled guilty early on in the court proceedings and seemed truly remorseful to the judge
Ye warned us about folks like him.
The great irony of Kanye's downfall and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in deals is Taylor Swift had the best selling opening week of her career on her tenth album as all of that was going on. Karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
the last line tho 😏👏 (and my fave song from the album ❤️)
Thats all that's good about it. Swift is a brat amd her music is mediocre at best. We shouldn't be making people like her famous
K where's the "karma" for all of the evil people in the world?..
Karma is not real.
@@androgynylunacy That's what you think and take a look on this list that you see here every last person here is experiencing their karma
@@Solbankai66 most people need to believe that they’re awarded for their good behavior or they have no incentive to behave well. Why do you think christianity is so big? Spoiler; it’s not because people want a “relationship” with a god.
Dishonorable Mentions:
* Michael Richards - The former comedian screamed racist comments to a group of hecklers.
* Lindsay Lohan - The young actress shouldn't have gotten involved with drugs and alcohol.
* Michael Vick - Arrested for involvement with illegal dogfights.
* Ellen DeGeneres - Her allegations of rude behavior was a well-kept Hollywood secret.
* Armie Hammer - His career came to an end due to the actor's sexual abuse and cannibalistic fetishism.
Lindsay Lohan’s doing great. Her career has been slowly reviving
@@C23_I she’s married and a mother
@@vanessastegall Where did you get that information on her being a mother, out of thin air? Yes, I know she's married but I have found nothing indicating that she has children.
@@SNixon14 She's gonna be a mother. She posted on her instagram recently that she's expecting.
@@C23_I Yep.
If the song itself won the Grammy legitimately, give the award to the real singers.
But who are the 2 ?
@@lexkanyima2195 I don't know who they are, but it known information.
@@lexkanyima2195 There were actually three singers singing the male parts, and two female backing vocalists. I don't remember their names, but the three male singers were all black men, but they were older and they weren't as "Hollywood" as the two actors/models who lip synced. The real singers should have the Grammy, I think.
@@BlackHatCinephile so why would they getting accolades ?
They subsequently released an album as "The Real MIlli Vanilli". Both the former Milli Vanilli and The Real were produced by Frank Farian, who was also behind Boney M. So he had lots of experience with lip-syncing.
John Kricfalusi The Ren and Stimpy Creator Was grooming Several underage minors for years not to mention Comedy Central is rebooting Ren and Stimpy without him what a deadly blow
Let me guess, that dude like underdeveloped children and adolescents, correct?
I heard that case
I hate that show.
Comedy Central?
Most minors are underage, just for future reference
I was so deep into House of Cards, and started watching a lot of Kevin's movies. I was so disappointed and sad with my self after his downfall. I didn't even watch the last season of House of Cards because it was tainted, and all his movies were tainted for me afterwards. I loved 21, and a couple more, but I can't watch them anymore
You could watch The Usual Suspects because of the acting performances from the other actors and the stellar narrative from Bryan Singer
The only one I still watch is Baby Driver, one of his last films, partly because he plays a criminal who dies and L.A. Confidential, a shady detective who dies.
Facts! "American Beauty" & "The Usual Suspects" I can't even enjoy those 2 movies anymore...
@@CraigMcGuinn Except Bryan Singer Is A Pedo Who Will One Day Be Locked Up.
Seriously?? He hasn't been found guilty once!!! All cases dropped, dismissed or nit guilty!!! All bullshit
They didn't include Will Smith on the list. That's a genuine shock
to soon
He's still working on Bad Boys 4 and attempting to make a comeback. I guess it's a matter of if it's possible for him to bounce back or not. If he's still not successful 2 or 3 years from now, I think it's safe to put him on a list like this. As of right now, I have NO idea how a new Will Smith movie would perform after everything that has happened.
His "downfall" was on the same night as the biggest achievement in his career, its too soon to say hes had a downfall, just consequences.
He’ll be fine. He sucks and deserves to be canceled but he will still be fine.
Too soon for will.
Rolf Harris. He was a popular TV performer in the UK since the 1960s. He appeared especially in children's shows. I'm not British so I didn't know about him until the 1990s when he was the host of the popular Animal Hospital TV show. I remember that he seemed incredibly nice and was really sympathetic towards people who lost their pets. He seemed like a really nice and kind person.
In 2014, he was sentenced to more than five years in prison for 12 counts of indecent assault on young (mostly underage) girls. He had used his fame for decades as a way to get close to young people who trusted him. He denied any wrongdoing, didn't apologize or show any remorse.
I was shocked when I heard about it because it was so difficult to believe. He seemed like such a nice guy. He was a big guy with a grey beard, he always made me think of Santa Claus. The least likely person to be guilty of such things.
Rolf was also a portrait painter, who did a lot of portraits of famous people (including late Queen Elizabeth II), so there was the presumption that all of these famous people would have had their staff vett anyone they meet - clearly they either didn't dig deep enough into Rolf's history, or maybe they did learn something, but didn't want to deal with controversy?
I think he thought he was like Saville untouchable, but then Saville croaked it and then the truth came out, and he was rightly brought to justice and frankly got what he deserved. Some of his songs looking back are quite questionable as well with what he was really singing about and not as innocent as they seem either, and what's really repulsive is his daughter trying to defend him when he abused her best friend for well over a decade.
Oh, yeah, Rolf kept it private, but Karma is a bitch, and she always gets you in the end. The reason Saville got away with it and croaked was because of his connections, but he opened that pandora's box on his death. Ironic that Harris died of throat cancer...not lost on me at all.
I love how most of these people aren’t “canceled” until they’re 80+ years old.
I still can’t watch Kevin Spacey in anything anymore.
Can't really blame you
Movies with Kevin Spacey:
- A Time to Kill
- The Negotiator
- The Supects
- Superman Returns
- American Beauty
- Pay It Forward
he acts better than Anthony Rapp, he ruins Star Trek
Kevin Spacey was one of my favorite actors
Jussie Smollett belongs here too.
WatchMojo forgot to mention that Mel Gibson spewed hateful shit towards Oksana Grigorieva during a phone call.
using the n word too
I agree. However, when it comes to white actors who were raised with upbringings at a time when racial insensitivity was viewed as “normal” to many, they should at least have a chance at eventual redemption for their first offense of “making racially insensitive remarks”.
This standard should not apply to any white actors/actresses who were 25 or younger when the year 2000 began.
Yup and it took Hacksaw Ridge in 2016 to revive his career although Mel's rough past always catches up to him.
10:49 Only abusers say that them abusing someone else, in any way, is not really a big deal to them. Here's a hint: abusive people who say things like that, are sometimes still abusing people, they have just been careful not to get caught again.
More recently I know of Kanye West one, knew of Shia LaBeouf, Mel Gibson, Woody Allen, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Spacey R Kelly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and O.J Simpson.
Perhaps an honorable mention to consider:
Logan Paul. He was gaining a lot of attention and fame as a vlogger and minor roles in films. Then his trip to the Aokigahara forest happened, and he was never the same afterwards - even a highly publicized fight against KSI (to which he lost in the rematch) wasn’t enough to give him back the fame he once had before Japan.
They need to be famous person, not useless spoiled brats :D
What happened there?
@@jopalm3649 His Aokigahara vlog involved them finding a body of a person who recently committed suicide there. Their filmed reaction and the insensitive nature surrounding their filming of the body was what led to backlash.
People have no idea how big lance Armstrong was when he was winning his tour de Frances, he could've run for president and won... Insane how the world can really make you irrelevant regardless how famous you are
Really just goes to show that anyone can put on a show to hide who they really are.
John Kricfalusi groomed two teenage girls in the 90s. He has since been stripped of his job in the animation industry and Comedy Central is rebooting Ren and Stimpy without him.
It seems that these celebrities think they are above the law and some don’t believe they would get punished.
When I saw Cosby at #4 I had a hard time thinking of who could be worse. I used to be such a big fan as a kid in the 80s too.
That is exactly what I thought!
Jared Foggle in a room full of kids holding his pants...
Boy that's aged like milk
Ummm did they forget that Shia made a comeback by doing two critically acclaimed films in one year via “Peanut Butter Falcon” and “Honey Boy”?
I'm assuming so. If anything I always delt bad for him to some degree
Shia is a terrible terrible person who needs to go the fuck away.
Peanut Butter Falcon WAS Fantastic.
I was never capable of turning on my guy-a Shia! Omg…holes? Tru Confessions? Disturbia? Something behind about that crooked smile will never say “I can body sway 5 fingers of death!” If Mariah Carey’s vocal range could be personified in a theatre. Which brings to the all the so call downcall. As cliche as it might sound, the lens that capture his brilliance is the same one he’s in front of in his real life. Idk this guy outside a play button & these megapixels. And he wrote & starred in Honey Boy….in rehab. 🤯 Just let that marinate & the whats consider rock bottom.
Wasn't he in Fury and that Nymphomaniac movie(s)?
Nikki Sixx had a famous downfall in the 80s. He played bass for rock band Mötley Crüe and became addicted to heroin in the 80s when the band became popular. His life started falling apart because of his addiction but the worst time was when he overdosed in 1986 at the end of the Girls, Girls, Girls, tour and had to be brought back by two full syringes of adrenaline.
“Chris Brown went from R&B singer to domestic abuser.”
When they turn 70 they will be on the same stage again!
He still has a career tho and him and Rihanna have both moved on
@@brennathecatlover4360 Also, he was suffering with PTSD at the time, but he’s been through psychiatric care and since then, he’s been a lot better
@@MustacheCashStash125 like he still has fans and does well idk why everyone thinks he’s flopping lol
You mean d.a.
in jujubee's defence, losing drag race 5 times is not a downfall....its tenacity, perseverance and wholelotta fried chicken wings
I’m surprised Michael Vick never made the list with the dog fighting scandal.
That’s most likely because his career was able to recover from that when he signed with the eagles
Thanks watchmojo you helped me find a old song that sounds familiar. I'm hunting songs I don't know the names of but sound like I've heard them before. Now I got another fav of zz top. Im young and I didn't know that was them. 😊
Good on you for not ruining the #1 spot in the thumbnail.
So, where would these DIShonorable Mentions be ranked?!
- Donald Trump
- Amber Heard
- Will Smith
- Joss Whedon
- Arnie Hammer
Armie* (and I agree)
I agree good list but don't forget Dan Schneider (producer on nick)
Are the wives of Epstein and Cosby idiotically alike?
I agree with everything except Will Smith
Will Smith still has a career and his new movie came out last year on Apple TV.
I’m surprised there weren’t honorable mentions. I was expecting to see Sinead O’Connor on this list.
Sinead O’Connor might not be on the list because she didn’t deserve to have her reputation destroyed nor her career damaged
@@CraigMcGuinn Most people disagree with you.
Sadly Ms. O' Connor died in the Summer of 2023. If there was a dishonorable list of a career that took a downturn and never recovered she belongs that on that list. There was other ways to protest the lack of action on the Child Sex Abuse on the global Catholic Church then tearing up a picture of at that time, a beloved Pope on American National TV as she did.
Yeah, Tonya Harding was really insincere on what happened to Kerrigan.
This proves that she knew what her husband did to Nancy, and just kept silent, or borderline approved of it.
It was easy to say to move on, because you destroyed another's dreams, just to boost your own.
R Kelly Makes Me Sick of What He Did After a Successful Music Career With Many R&B Hits Such As “I Believe I Can Fly” and I Lost All Respect For Him After Being Charged For 30 Years!
OJ was on a call in show and some guy called in and asked him which was harder: 2000 yards in a season or killing 2 people in one night.
Lol, What happened? Did the show hang up on him?
Funny how all these abusive men become really frail when on trial!
Omg have just started watching and I swear if OJ is #1 I’m gonna …. Ugh. His wife and her friend were murdered - that’s no not controversy … that’s a crime full stop
Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Martha Stewart, Richard Speck, The illustrator of Dilbert, Michael Richards, Tim Allen ( drug kingpin), Donald Sterling, Stephen Collins, Jerry Sandusky, The whole Catholic Church, The Boys Scouts of America, ……Rob Lowe…..oh how we have Selected Memory Loss…....Paul Rueben ( Pee-Wee Herman ) , Marge Schott, Marv Albert, Lois Ck, Papa John’s Pizza ( lost NFL sponsorship), Jeffery Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacy, ……and Chris Rock. He’s yours now.
why the Boy Scouts of America?
@Abraham Lupis so many kids reported s**ual abuse at the hands of scout masters. All those allegations and so many churches/community groups cut affiliation with them.
Uh yeah Chris Brown still has a booming career. Shouldn’t be that way but it is. It’s absolutely preposterous to say he got cancelled or lost his career

I can't believe that it wasn't that long ago that subway guy got arrested like geez.
This should be a lesson for those who want to go in and be famous, don't do what these people did to get them in this pit. Be better please 🙏 ❤.
Kevin Spacey despite downfall but he will never forget back in the day were he famous play some of the greatest villain in cinematic and Jonathan Irons in Cod Advanced Warfare ( alongside with Troy Baker ).
Bill Cosby was also in the cartoon show Fat Albert. Tragic how he broke so many fans hearts after the crimes he committed. Letting him out of jail early might not be such a good idea.
I agree Bill Cosby deserves more jail time. But how would Cosby be able to pull off using pills to drug women he wants to have sex with ever again? Cosby will be turning 87 in 2024 you know.
And ironically that show focused on teaching kids lessons about life and how to be a good person. The hypocrisy with that one just floors me.
yeah that was tragic, but for me the worst part of it all was the rapping
@@yisusoflare6225 Agreed.
Bill Cosby did nothing wrong!!!
Having to give that grammy back hurt so bad the dude just hung it up and killed himself RIP melly 😢
18:37 “Your Bill’s worse than Cosby.” Donald Trump
15:30. I am not sure Kevin Spacey should still be added to lists like this. There have been 6 court cases against him and he won all 6 without 1 jury member voting against him. Heck, Anthony Rapp just lost his case against Kevin Spacey and RAPP has to pay Spacey's lawyer fees and $39,000 for defamation.
Kevin Spacey’s public reputation is still largely trash as of right now. Plus Spacey still isn’t able to get any new movie roles right now
I agree, not guilty is not guilty... too many people have the belief that people don't have ulterior motives for allegations and that "there's no smoke without fire". Its why we don't have pitchforks anymore.
Interesting beginning seeing Tucker Carlson interviewing Rosanne Barr. Time surely changes... **lol**
10:03 Just wanting to point out that getting into an argument with a friend, relative, spouse, partner or stranger, doesn't mean that they have any right to physically, mentally, emotionally or verbally abuse you, no one has the right to hurt anyone over a disagreement or argument, it should be solved by talking. If you are being abused, please get help, from anyone that you know you can trust. Please know that you matter, that someone cares & sees you & stands with you & wants you to know a few things: it's ok to feel alone, it's ok to not be ok, it's ok to be scared, it's ok to feel there's no hope, it's ok to to feel & think & say what you need to feel & think & say, it's ok to wonder if it gets better, it's ok to wonder if you'll make it, it's ok to wonder about who will help protect you from your monsters, it's ok to wonder if there's any point in asking for help. You are not alone, you matter & you have every right to be safe, respected, cared for, loved, appreciated, cherished, needed, wanted, understood & saved. For those in need, I'll spare you a thought.
I'm surprised Roman Polanski didn't make this list.
I'm surprised Bill Cosby wasn't number 1 on this list.
well, he simply continue filming in other countries
I never liked Kanye West. In fact, I always HATED him, especially when I heard that he disrespectfully implied that Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves & instead got them to work for other white people. So his inevitable & eventual downfall from last year didn’t surprise me at all because he truly deserved it. That time he made Taylor Swift look bad when she was given an award that he felt Beyoncé deserved instead. I REALLY hope that Kanye West doesn’t ever regain his old status as a beloved artist because his awful behavior proves he DOESN’T deserve a good comeback at all.
Qassaman, if Kanye does this to Putin then he would be arrested
Aww poor Anthony Rapp😢 I had no idea he went through that with Kevin Spacey.
It is an impressive feat to screw up the aspect ratio of 4:3 video in both directions within the same video. Way to go video editor!!
Stephen Collins was someone I used to enjoy watching, for example, in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” I was sorry to read about his downfall. Robert Blake was terrific in “Baretta,” but screwed up chance after chance offered to him. They should be added to this list.
Yeah. I feel the same way also about Joe Rogan and Kevin Sorbo, but they'd is more about their false information spreading during and post covid. But all of them I can't stand to watch without thinking of negative stuff.
I knew many popular filmmakers had to be here because of the MeToo movement. Not saying they shouldn’t be.
as they should?
Amber Heard will get on such a list soon enough.
True…although she shouldn’t be in the top 10 Hollywood celebrities who destroyed their careers list unless she has continued or decides to continue her abusive behavior on another person after Johnny depp won his civil trial against her
she was never that big to begin with, she was a c-lister climbing her way to the top before the whole Depp thing began
Top Ten Celebrity Redemption Arcs
I remember many of these scandals 😅
Wow! People sure can get themselves in a lot of trouble. Sometimes the best course such a toppled celebrity can take is to withdrawal from public life. Folks forget about them and maybe someday they can show their face in a restaurant again.
I wonder if Lance Armstrong will be on this list.
I’m only surprised that Kanye is on this list because I never knew anyone that liked him to begin with
6:48 interesting choice of words, that de-escalated quickly xDDD
Some people have no sympathy for celebs while others may even feel personally betrayed by some of these offenders. It's sad that the darker natures of these individuals destroyed what was otherwise good about them at least in terms of their public lives, and talent.
Wait, OJ played football? I thought he was just an actor in the naked gun movies and did commercials.
@Airstrip One I was just joking. I know he was a football player first.
OJ Got away with murder
@@swolfe9668 Thanks, I remember.
How many times does WM make videos with the same content under different names?
I still love R Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly. The Space Jam soundtrack can do no wrong.
Somehow we expect the people we revere and admire to live up to a higher standard, but in the end they're just as human as the rest of us and sometimes they do and say terrible things. Sometimes I think some of them have been judged harshly and unfairly. Not so with Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer, Jared Fogle and O.J. Simpson. They're pathological and unredeemable, and they deserve to be completely forgotten.
Spend love I would add Weinstein, Pistorius and R. Kelly to that infamous list for being unforgivable for their crimes as well.
Tonya Harding wasn’t exactly a well-known celebrity before the incident. Most people never heard of her before the Olympics.
She was super-famous in her sport and Olympic athletes & promoters. She was quietly dubbed "the next Dorothy Hamill" -- not only was she the first woman to execute & complete a triple Axel (something only the most accomplished *male skaters* could do), but she was ALSO the first woman ever to execute *TWO* triple Axels in a single competition - not to mention being the *first ever* (male OR female) to complete the triple Axel double toe loop combo! (I knew about the 1st two, but Wiki clued me in on the third). She was about to become the Michael Jordan (dunk contest Michael) of figure skating!
It's super unfortunate that she didn't have the natural body poise & grace of Nancy Kerrigan and saw that as a threat to her own success when she had such amazing power & strength that would've had folks saying, "Nancy WHO?" (Remember that Ralph Sampson was drafted ahead of MJ?)
@@JoeMCool Yes, but again as I said most people never heard of her before the Olympics and part of what makes a celebrity or sports figure memorable is also their demeanor and presentation. She had strength and skill and athleticism but not the grace you normally associate with a figure skater, especially the ones who became household names.
Sadly, there are plenty of women who are still huge fans of Chris Brown.
Like Rihanna?
Chris Brown isn't R.Kelly
@@abrahamlupis9354 True, but he’s still a domestic abuser.
And a swindler.
Suge Knight should be on here
Never meet your heroes
what about justin roiland and ezra miller i know they're recent but maybe next year if you decide to make a sequel to this video you can talk about them
Who is Justin Roiland?
@@jamiethal1319 co-creator and voice actor of rick & morty as he played both of them, he also made the hulu original solar opposites, he was in court for like 3 years for domestic abuse charges (real amber heard johnny depp stuff) the charges were dropped a couple weeks ago for insufficient evidence but he was fired by adult swim and hulu from his shows rick & morty, solar opposites and koala man.
@@reedspace8267 thank you for the reminder also he was in son and blark
Only one I feel kinda bad for is Roseanne Barr, as I recall she didn't use "racially insensitive language" at all, she posted a poorly worded rant that was interpreted as racially charged, but that was not her intention at all and it ended her career, all for a single tweet.
Yes, Roseanne got a very bad rap. Perhaps she should have been suspended or something where she had to apologize publicly or take a racial sensitivity class or something but no one can know for sure what she meant and to take away a show that she made legendary and fire her permanently for a tweet to me is just far out crazy. It somewhat taints the memory of “Roseanne (worse than the final season did).
What gets me is why was she ever famous to begin with? She is basically an ick.
It wasn’t just a single tweet. It came to light she had a history of referring to black women with that slur.
They did Milli Vanilli dirty
How?
@@ladybugradio1988 because the producer did this with Boney M too, but ...no repercussions. Black Box , did this too (skinny model lipsyching to Martha Walsh's vocals)...Technotronic did it too, altough it wasn't as bad.
@@dracaryssnow6973 I guess I never thought about that a lot.
@@dracaryssnow6973 C&C Music Factory used Walsh’s vocals too. 😐
@@RajaReign78 indeed. For whatever reason, Milli Vanilli got vilified for it and it sucks...like THEY are NOT the first ones nor the only ones.
Isn't it funny that a lot of these folks were famous on TV shows. And this includes Stephen Collins and Danny Masterson.
I think actor turned producer Dan Schneider should've been on list
Yeah
He was an actor?
He’s so gross
@@brennathecatlover4360 yeah he was in a show called head of the class
@@Nicole_Jewell when?
It was YEARS before I learned OJ Simpson used to play football.
I’m literally not even a minute in and didn’t know that OJ was a running back. Kayne however can lick a toaster. That’s plugged in. While in a bathtub.
Anyone remembers when Milli Vanilli appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 animated series ?
Me
Yeah, I remember that episode lol. It was funny when Kootie Pie turned them to bank accountants.
Michael Jackson, Danny Masterson, Will Smith, Robert Blake, Dana Plato and a number of others should have made this list rather than some of those relatively unknown people.
Some time why do we forget the good things people do and just Remember the bad things 😢
Getting rid of the sickos (Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, etc.) has made Hollywood a little safer for women. I pray more creeps are gonna be thrown behind the bars.
The meaning of the word Star is;
A burning ball of gas.
...I feel all kinds of bad about this, but I mistook Harvey Weinstein for Harvey Fierstein(The lovable actor who played Frank Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire and Yao in Mulan) for a minute there, I'm so sorry, Mr. Fierstein, I didn't mean to confuse you in with that sleaze 😰
Still baffles me how R Kelly got away with it for so long its always been public knowledge what he was he didn't really hide it either but then when you look at some of the scandals over the years like #MeToo it was normal behaviour in the industry back then
Shia has made fantastic movies lately
Chris Brown shouldn't be on here. The incident with Rihanna had zero effect on his career sadly
Is it me or alot of people on this list sat and interviewed with Matt Lauer... who is also on the list.
R Kelly won't be making a comeback, he's in jail for decades.
Black people didn't make a racial martyr out of him either.
The fact that you commented on Kayne West using the phrase « it was met with a swift backlash » just made my day
#karma
Never liked anything about Woody Allen his movies sucked always thought he was overrated actor
Why do you reference I Tonya but not Great Balls of Fire?
Because Jerry Lee Lewis made a big comeback?
Oh wow Watchmojo made the same exact video for the hundredth time. How cool.
4:00 dude really came to the Red Carpet wearing a paper bag on his head.
