According to YouGov, the most popular people in America right now are: 1. Morgan Freeman, 2. Samuel L. Jackson, 3. Tom Hanks, 4. Sean Connery, and 5. Denzel Washington.
However, public opinion, and, in turn, this list, are susceptible to change. So we asked our Facebook followers who became extremely unpopular, and they immediately started sharing names.

Richard Jewel the guy discovered a bomb, saved countless lives, and was dragged through the mud by the fbi, and the press. When they vindicated him the damage had been done.
1996 Atlanta Olympics. This guy was the security guard who saw the bomb, reported it and that started clearing people from the area when it detonated and killed somebody. The FBI initially interviewed him as a suspect and cleared him pretty quickly but in the meantime the new 24 hour news channels absolutely dragged his name through the mud as the suspect. Absolutely shameful.
The woman who got burned with the McDonald’s coffee. That was a pretty horrific injury she got and this was not their first rodeo with high temp injuries.
There were 700 - *700!* - complaints about the coffee before Stella Leibeck got burnt. I saw pics of her injuries - they were *horrific*.
Sinead O Connor.... she was right all along.
Referring to when she ripped a picture of the Pope (John Paul II) because of child abuse charges in the church.
Jack Kevorkian. Death with dignity is important. He was a pioneer.
Would YOU want to be suffering in pain for years knowing the pain would never end? Would you want your beloved pet dog to be in miserable pain and discomfort that will never end?
Vietnam Vets
i'd upvote this several times if i could. as a kid i didn't understand the treatment of my dad when he returned from overseas - the name calling, the spitting on his uniform. my dad held his head high during it all. after all these years i offered to take him on an honor flight to the memorial and he declined as it still causes him pain...and there is anger there as well towards the protesters. not because they were against the war but that they took their anger out on the soldiers/sailors/pilots who were living up to their oath and not the politicians that were using it as part of the military industrial complex cash machine. however, he is glad to see that those who do protest actions now have realized the separation of those who give policies and actions and those who have sworn to uphold their oath of honor
Jack Gleeson, the guy portrayed the most punchable character (Joffrey Baratheon) in Game of Thrones and did his job so well people hated him for no reason.
Nickelback. They sound like so many other 2000s bands and I don’t get how the hate for them started
Janet jackson
She wore all the scandal of "Nipplegate" while Timberlake stood back and said nothing. And the rest of the world saw how incensed the US got over a bare breast with covered nipple, and said "WTF?"
Nicholas Cage. So many people hate his acting. He might have picked the wrong movie here and there but there’s far more worse actors around than him these days!
Didn't he admit himself that he took many bad roles just for the money? I don't think that he is a bad actor.
PeeWee Herman
He was caught in an adult theatre BY HIMSELF. Oh, no, how shocking. *Rolls eyes* Who cares what someone does off the clock?
Colin Kapernick
He kneeled during the national anthem. That's a poignant and respectful protest! He was bringing attention to black people being treated violently and even killed by cops. That's a real issue.
Jonny Depp. Amber Heard was unstable from day 1 and they blamed him for ever that happened without hearing her version in person. Just seeing her lying in court proved everyone wrong immediately.
Two toxic people meet and one is slightly more toxic than the other. They head to court and their secrets are made public, one has a better council than the other and is the darling of the media, they win the PR battle. The two people are still toxic.
Winona Ryder
Yes, she was caught shoplifting when she was younger, but was she ever hated?
Al Franken deserved a little shade, maybe - but not nearly the amount of backlash that he got. Currently serving politicians have done 100x worse.
Pamela Anderson, I'm so glad she's doing well these days because the world was absolutely horrible to her
I must have missed a decade or so but why did people hate her? She's not the best actress for sure but there are a lot of bad actors and actresses out there.
Jane Fonda, for being anti Vietnam War
She was more or less tricked to pose with the gun. She makes it very clear in her autobiography that she never disrespected Vietnam vets or had any "anti-American" opinions. A great lady and a fantastic actor.
Greta Thunberg
MC Hammer. He was called a sell out for doing a (Pepsi, I think) commercial and quickly became unpopular after that. Despite the fact that a bunch of artists made commercials after him and it didn’t matter.
Milli Vanilli. They wanted to be popular by being frontmen, and were sort of bullied into doing it because they were attractive. The real singers were in agreement, so I don't know why Rob and Fab took the hit for everyone involved. The music and videos were great! Wish it had gone on for longer.
I like the meme with them about people getting famous on TikTok for miming to songs.
Whitney Houston.
Drugs and domestic abuse are bad
My mother, when she married Bobby Brown, said, "She's gonna die." Mom saw it coming. She knew he wasn't going to be any good for Whitney.
Anne Hathaway
She seems nice and I like her movies because she is a good actress. I will never understand the hatred.
Anyone that spoke out against the genocide early on.

Wtf happened? Brutal comments, hatred, craziness - I need to rinse my eyes!
Dude, I have no idea. Some folks went off the rails on this one. I believe I was even cursed by someone I've never spoken to before. 😂

Came solely on here because I saw a photo of Chris Pratt and was like, nope. Guy is a turd. Mistreats animals.
