Online Community Members Share Why They Lost All Their Admiration Towards These 30 Celebrities
It's fascinating how most of us are somewhat acclimated to the fact that there are some terrible people out there, but when it comes to famous personalities, whether that would be talk show hosts or full-on Hollywood actors, our judgement gets a little clouded. Who can blame us – it's hard to imagine celebrities living a morally incorrect life when their life seems to be so flawless. We're used to seeing them on big screens, where no mistakes are allowed, so we automatically assume they could do no wrong.
What doesn't help is their ability to have any potential scandal go away. Odd things they might've done get proclaimed as rumors, and the fans continue praising their favorites for their endless talent.
However, this Reddit user decided to dive into the celebrity drama world and asked fellow users to reveal why they've happened to lose all their respect for a well-known personality. The post received almost 30K upvotes and over 24K comments worth of names.

Oprah Winfrey
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Oprah Winfrey yet. Not only did she give a major platform to Dr. Oz & Dr. Phil, she also was good friends with Harvey Weinstein and kept her mouth shut about him, then went on to give a pro-Me-Too speech at the Oscars after he was arrested and got thunderous applause.
10,000 upvotes with a cherry on top. She gave us two shysters who have wreaked havoc. Dr. Oz is loathed by actual medical practitioners, and Dr. Phil is only slightly less loathed by psych professionals.
Amber Heard
Amber Heard - beat on Johnny Depp and then tried to say he beat her, screwing with his career.
Scientologist Celebrities
After watching Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, any celebrity involved with the Scientology church is pretty off-putting.
He's so creepy.....and his beloved "religion" that's based around Xenu, the dictator of the Galactic Confederacy. Umm, ok. creepy-tom...365fbd.jpg
Ellen Degeneres
Ellen DeGeneres, she made Taylor Swift cry and practically bullied her on live TV, outted Mariah Carey’s pregnancy, need I go on? She treats her guests like trash.
Eric Clapton
I recently found out about Eric Clapton basically bankrupting a little old widow (over 5k in legal fees) for her attempting to sell her late husband's old bootleg DVD of one of his old concerts for $11 online.
F**k that guy.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow and her sh**ty Goop products that are bad for you.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner for not paying her factory workers at all.
Travis Scott
Travis Scott, he was a bystander to the deaths of a bunch of his own fans. I just can’t support someone that apathetic to the deaths of his own supporters.
When he offered to pay for the funerals of those who died, the families refused. I applaud them. I wish them peace.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio, as he jets around on superyachts(where he literally is currently), which uses like 20 gallons per mile, and private jets, etc. all while talking to the UN and Netflix about climate change.
Charlie Sheen
The guy is a self-centred a**hole. Had an entire show around him and was thrown out after turning on everyone, then some other network just gave him a vehicle show where he barely showed any work ethic and when his co-star called him out on that, he had HER fired! Stop rewarding people for being a**holes!
Dr. Phil
Now I realize he just uses sick minded people for his own profit. He brought the creator of Bumfights on the show and kicked him off after showing up dressed as Dr. Phil. The guy said Dr. Phil and him did the exact same thing, Phil just hid it better. After seeing that clip, I have no respect for Dr Phil.
Wendy Williams
Wendy Williams she is just an ugly person on the inside and in general. She has threatened and belittled staff, farted on national TV and blamed a chair. She outed Method Man's wife for having cancer just to get ratings. Once she started catching heat now she's claiming she may have dementia or mental disorders and that's what caused her to do all the stuff she did. Total cop out those are just a few things.
Jared Leto
Jared Leto, 50 year old guy that preys on teenagers. What's weird is everyone knows, jokes about it, but the guy still books work.
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato - constantly playing the victim card, is a little too delusional and don’t get me started on the frozen yogurt place fiasco.
Lovato is like any addict. She’s selfish, self entitled, and only cares about her next high, not caring about anyone she hurts. Plenty of people have a mental illness and most of them don’t carry on like this self absorbed overgrown spoilt brat. People like her give people with mental illness a bad image using it as an excuse for bad behaviour
Prince
He met his ex-wife when she was sixteen (and declared he was going to marry her right then) and then put her on birth control at nineteen after they had “a really deep friendship” (yeah right) for three years. He later made her do an interview a week after their son died, threw that son’s ashes away, refused to let her get medical care for a miscarriage, and dumped her by the time she was twenty four. I love the man’s music, but I wish people would talk more about the hell that he put Mayte Garcia through.
He tried to trap a young Sinead O'Conner in his house and went apesh!t when she tried to escape.
Rebel Wilson
My brother is a d-tier actor in Australia. Has worked with Rebel Wilson a fair bit. Said she’s the most unpleasant person he’s ever encountered. Makes everyone treat her like an absolute diva and runs through assistants like Epstein through massages. I didn’t have an opinion about her before he told me but it’s not an uncommon sentiment in the acting world.
She had a body double for a film they were both in. She lost a bunch of weight before filming and became really opinionated about having somebody who accurately represented her idea of her body. She finally settled on somebody (this is usually the role of the casting crew based on your height and weight but she insisted she had final say). The body double showed up on set and Rebel decided the woman had put on weight between casting and filming. She grabbed the poor woman’s hips and stomach on the set and yelled at the casting crew for bringing “a hippopotamus on set” to represent her.
Polanski Petition
I just today found out about the 2009 Polanski petition and the 100 celebrities that signed it - so all of them.
Nick Cannon
Nick Cannon. 4 kids by 3 different women in 6 months. Like seriously dude, wrap it up.
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen - was an advocate for being kind to people online and then had been cyber bullying Courtney Stodden amongst others.
Justin Timberlake
The stories coming out about Justin Timberlake being a flat out d***head and literally spitting on women have really changed my opinion of him.
Drake
Drake. The ghostwriting. The supposed grooming of the Stranger Things girl. How he pretty much shunned his child and then would always talk about his dad leaving him and his mom. He also has gotten complacent with his music. He's like the personification of Pop Hop now. He kind of just style jacks whatever is popular rn instead of having his own style.
And he was inappropriate with billi elish when she was underage too
Shia Labeouf
Shia LaBeouf, I was one of the holdouts who argued he was misunderstood as an artist and a person. Soon as the FKA Twigs story came out I couldn’t bring myself to continue being a fan. Dude needs help and if we’re being real, probably needs to do time.
Read up on the FK Twigs thing and it sounds like he might be a narcissist: meet someone with all the traits they lack who is successful and popular, love bomb them (over the top romancing): isolate, break them down so they don't know which way is up and keep it up til they've got everything they need from the abused then discard them. She's lucky she had independent finances and was able to get out, many don't. Abuse isn't always physical.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj because she seems to align herself with sexually violent people.
James Corden
I used to be a real big fan of him and his old Gavin and Stacy stuff and I even liked the lesbian vampire movie too even though a lot of people hated it. And then the stories of how he treats people even his own family started to roll out and I'm like f**k this guy.
I used to like him too but does he really need to be in every single kids animation film?!
Lea Michele
I got pretty into the TV show Glee in 2020 and I didn't know most of the cast beforehand, so It's not like I was a fan of anyone, but after I heard about Lea Michele's ugly behavior I was truly appalled. I don't know how anyone can support her.
In a nutshell, she disrespected a ton of people she have worked with, ever since she was a little girl. She threatened to fire people, belittled the staff, called them cockroaches, told a coworker she would "sh*t in her wig" and other nasty things. Shame, since she's a talented singer.
John Mulaney
He left his wife he always claimed to love so much for the mistress that he got pregnant while still married to his wife. And she wasn't the only woman he had cheated on her with.
Armie Hammer
Armie Hammer. I don’t agree with cannibalism!
Melissa Gilbert
Melissa Gilbert. My mother loved her in the 70s so one year I got her Gilbert’s cookbook and surprised mom by taking her to a book signing near where we live in the Midwest.
She was over the moon excited to meet her. We finally get up to the table and Ms. Gilbert was rude to my mother, and hurried her through. Mom was crushed. I now will not watch anything with her in it. My mind goes back to the rude entitled woman she was.
Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt. Making an Instagram post praising your new wife for “having a healthy child” when your ex-wife had major health issues delivering your other child is such a sc*mbag move.
Honestly don't think it was ever meant that way. It's a very standard kind of thing to say after the birth of a child.
Mark Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg. He blinded some guy and showed no remorse.
Try google: "In his first ever interview since the attack Johnny Trinh revealed to Mail Online he was already blind in one eye after being injured while fighting the Communists in the Vietnam War."
I don’t like this negative kind of BP posts, that wants us to feel morally superior to others. We’re just as bad, stupid and hypocrite as the average celebrity, but since we’re not rich or famous, the impact of our deeds is a lot smaller.
I think you're right when people start crowding around talking s**t for superficial reasons. But the Polanski support? I didn't know that and I'm glad I do now. And it's clear very few people have bothered looking up Mark Wahlberg's history.
Load More Replies...no to be fair some of this guys or girls were rumors started on social media who could of just been some people you hated them and wanted to ruin there reputation or just wanted a attention
I felt like that with one of these. He was sort of bad, but he's improved, and become a good person for the most part. I think (I might be wrong, but) that most of the reason is his weight
