30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn’t Deserve It, According To People Online

Because it’s hard for celebrities to not be in the public eye sometimes, it’s often the case that we get to see much of what’s happening in their lives—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Unfortunately, the ugly part often ends in some form of backlash from fans, followers, the general public or the industry itself, with certain celebrities getting “canceled”. But problems are never easy to unwrap and sometimes this “cancellation” is undeserved, or ends up being truly undeserved once it’s all over.

People on Reddit have been discussing celebrities who got canceled, but they couldn’t but feel bad for them and were actually saying how they didn’t deserve to be cancelled at all, or at least not any more, as asked by Reddit user u/Yung-Potter-XO on r/AskReddit.

Check out the best responses from the subreddit in the neat curated list below. And while you’re there, why not leave a comment and upvote the submissions you liked the most!

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Johnny Depp.

As a male that was in a relationship with an abusive woman, this whole thing breaks my heart.

I know how hard it can be to come out about, and how hard it is to be believed at all. And then of course, as soon as someone starts to put pressure on the abuser, suddenly all these allegations start coming out about you, and none of them true or accurate, but because she's a woman, she must be the victim right?

If my ex was upset about something, she'd rub the cat on my pillow (I'm allergic) so I'd be up all night coughing and wheezing. Then she'd s@#t on me for staying up late. Then give me s@#t for sleeping in the next day.

My ex used to punch me in the face while I was sleeping. She couldn't stand my snoring. I'd go to work in the mornings with a black eye. If she fell asleep first, it was ok, but she was always up late, so I'd have to go sleep on the couch. But she'd insist on staying up late and watching TV, so I couldn't sleep on the couch. I fell asleep on the bathroom floor once out of sheer exhaustion.

There's so many more examples, but the point is I feel for JD 100%

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Monica Lewinsky. Judging from her Twitter account, she seems like a lovely person.

It's a shame. Dave Chappelle said it best. 'Who hasn't sucked a d#$k they regretted?' and Bill was a charismatic dude too. Lots of people get into relationships with authority figures during lapses in judgement, but Monica has been the butt of a joke because of it for two decades because of her lapse in judgement.

S#$%#y situation, she deserves better.

Also, f$%k the person that said Lewinsky doesn't deserve better.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Kind of a unique case but: Laura Dern.

When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.

She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.

Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Sinead O'Connor

Spoke out against corruption and pedophilia in the catholic church very blatantly in a SNL act. Was completely removed from anything in the entertainment industry. Turns out instead of moral outrage people should have listened. I've seen in somewhat recent interviews that she is somewhat well adjusted despite it all. She knew it was going to cross a line when she did it, but she believes it pushed any investigation into such things forward and possibly gave people courage to speak up.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Mira Sorvino. She went from one of the most in-demand actresses after winning her Oscar, to being completely blacklisted because Weinstein was telling anyone who'd listen that she was a diva and impossible to work with.

When Peter Jackson was still making LotR through Miramax, Weinstein told him not to hire Judd or Sorvino, and Jackson believed him. Even when the movies eventually moved to New Line Cinema, he still believed what Weinstein had told him, and wouldn't work with them.

When #MeToo started snowballing, Jackson remembered what Weinstein had told him about the two and apologized to them for it.

30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online Hana Kimura. She was an Indonesian-Japanese wrestler who often played the heel, and she wanted to be an actress. When she was offered a chance to be in the reality show Terrace House, she jumped at it.

As we all know, reality shows are scripted. In a scene, Hana (remember, a professional wrestler on a reality show) "slapped" removed another contestant's hat1 and scolded him. Her twitter and instagram accounts were overrun with awful comments, racist criticisms, and death threats for weeks, but over time it tapered off.

Part of a reality show producer's job is to know how the audience thinks of all of the stars. The company monitors media coverage and social media trends. They knew.

But right after quarantine started in Japan, they re-aired the episode.

Hana lived alone. When the abuse began again, it must have seemed endless. She apologized on social media, took her kitten to the Stardom Wrestling office, and went home to [take her own life].

She was 22.

Somebody should be punished for that. People who took these decisions should be told that they did wrong and failed their position of trust and knowledge. But as always, nothing happens, case closed, 90% people watching reality shows are still not correctly made aware that it's scripted or staged. And there's no limit of what human beings can be forced to do to each other...

I'll probably get downvoted to hell. This cancel culture is getting out of hand. What is the point of all this really? Do we all not have a past, shameful or otherwise? I'm not a religious person but one thing really rings true: Let the person without sin cast the first stone.

Based on this list, women seem to be punished faster and harsher than men and for much smaller things. I remember how Amy Winhouse was torn down. The media and its consumers seem to really love seeing a successful woman torn to shreds.

J. K. Rowling. I read her so-called trans-phobic post. All was objecting to the trans community deciding to call everyone with female parts “people who menstruate” instead of women. She insisted that women wanted to be called women. She had a difference of opinion about terminology, not trans phobia. But she has been demonized since.

Scott Cawthon. Got cancelled because he donated to infamous politicians. He received comments like "I hope your wife miscarries." He retired from video game production, unfortunately. Rip Fnaf.

Judy Garland is one that should be on here. She was sexually harassed by a bunch of her costars who played the Munchkins in the Wizard of Oz, and by Louis B. Mayer. She was completely traumatized by it, and was told that if she said anything, they would ruin her.

I would really like to know why people keep holding people's actions from a decade, two decades ago to today's standards. (Common 'misbehaviour', not things that would have still been considered law breaking). Unfortunately, ten to twenty years ago certain things were very commonplace and considered acceptable. As long as a person has changed their behaviour as times have changed, why dredge things up and ruin their lives if they live in the public eye? I'm not saying those things should be erased and necessarily 'forgiven' but acknowledged as a product of the times.

For the record, I don't think the following comments apply directly to any of the actors in this post. Nevertheless, this needs to be said: it is common in H-town to start off like gangbusters in your young 20s and to stop getting work, "being cancelled", by the time you are in your 30s. It is unusual for a woman in her 40s or a man in his 50s to get work even if they started off great 20-30 years before. Sorry folks, but young people buy the majority of the tickets and want to see young people like themselves on the screen, not the older crowd. Only A-list actors like Tom Cruise are the exception. The producers, directors, and financiers are very choosy because they want a successful movie that makes fortunes of money. The biggest thing that has changed in the last 20 years, with half the new young actors outing themselves as unapologetically gay, is that the producers, directors, and financiers have figured out that gay doesn't really sell very well. It really does cost in ticket sales and dollars. Some young actors have ended their own careers early by coming out before they develop an A-list following. Stay closeted, young actors, okay? if you caught what I just said, help out a friend who is just starting out in his/her acting careers by copying and forwarding this to him/her. Some people never figure this out on their own. You may never see some of the young talents again on the big screen in lead roles who did not follow this rule, but starred in these young people's movies or TV series: 1) Hunger Games 2) Teen Wolf 3) 13 Reasons Why 4) Scorch Trials 5) Death Cure 6) Any Disney Musical 7) Any gay teenager TV show.... and by the way, you don't have to openly come out in promotional interviews or late-night TV. If you put up a lot of gay-acting pictures of yourself on Instagram or your FB page, people will automatically assume this truth. If you are mostly discrete, but let it be known you are living together or dating in a long-term relationship that is publicly known, the producers, directors, and financiers will make this assumption. Seriously, don't kill your talented potential career. Stay closeted so you can keep entertaining us and have work/income in your 30s!! It is almost impossible to "in yourself" after you have publically outed yourself. Sorry, but that's just the real world. For a movie to make big money, it has to sell well in middle conservative America, not just in NYC or the far west coast.

People do not realize in the movie and music industry, you are a commodity. Same as athletes. You tow the invisible line, be as you are perceived not as you really are, it’s always someone else’s idea of you. It’s why so many turn to self medication or worse. The world of the rich and famous is full of predators The same goes for politics. It is a world filled with the highest of dysfunctions, illusions and has left a wake of damage since the start

Sorry people, you can't have it both ways. Cancelled from social media, who cares it's a toxic wasteland. Cancelled from your job, well the toxic harpies should be cancelled instead. Cancel culture is just another reason why society has no respect for the generation who started it. History will NOT be kind to them at all

I think Gina Carano needs to be on this list. She was fired from Disney for just expressing her opinion, which is what Twitter is for anyway. She didn’t deserved to be fired for having a different political opinion.

How about instead, we stop cancelling people altogether? Maybe think about things before you react, that would be a nice change.
