30 Famous People Who Received Public Condemnation Even Though They Did Not Deserve It, As Pointed Out In This Online Thread
Do you know what, for example, Macaulay Culkin, Britney Spears, Galileo Galilei and maybe Antonio Salieri have in common? There is one unobvious detail that unites them all. At different times, tons of public condemnation fell upon these people, literally reaching hatred - although in reality, none of them, of course, deserved such feelings at all.
Nevertheless, it is obvious that society needs not only role models, but also targets for negativity, and it does not matter where this negativity is poured out - in the marketplaces of the Middle Ages, in the aristocratic salons of the 19th century, or in Reddit threads. And, unfortunately, history knows a lot of such people who completely undeservedly received mass hatred.

Brendan Fraser, after the trailer for The Whale was released the fat acceptance movement had a go at him.
Fat activists went on and on about how fatphobic it supposedly was that he was wearing a fat suit instead of gaining the weight for the role.
They tried to "cancel" the movie and said that as he was a "small fat" he shouldn't have played a role that was made for a "super fat" actor.
The way I see it, Brendan Fraser is one of the few unproblematic celebrities who got the opportunity to make a come back after years of not acting, he made this comeback after being open about being a victim of abuse, and he doesn't deserve to be welcome with more hate and more abuse, especially from people who could make the choice to change themselves instead of moaning a out everyone who happens to be slimmer than them.

As someone who would certainly qualify as super fat, I wouldn't want anyone to gain that kind of weight to play a part. It is literally hazardous to our health. Brendan Fraser would have a great deal to draw on for the character in regards to size, being a larger person in Hollywood and with his own health issues.

I am fat myself and I have never understood these fat acceptance activists. No one deserves to be made fun of for their weight, but being overweight is something that can be fixed. Unless, you have some sort of medical condition that stops you from losing weight. Either way, shaming an actor that has already been through so much sounds absolutely ridiculous.

The "hot coffee" McDonald's lady. The story that I had heard and believed for years was that some woman burnt her tongue a little and sued McDonald's for not marking clearly that their coffee was hot.
When the reality was that McDonald's raised the temperature of their coffee way higher than normal, it spilled on her when getting it in the drive through, and her burns were horrifically severe and she needed skin grafts. She was suing for so much because it literally how much her medical bills cost. But so many people ridiculed her and the case for years.
Edit: people calling me out for saying "higher than boiling point". I just meant that it was really REALLY hot.
White Paper Tsuru 2 years ago
And don't forget that McDonald's intentionally made her out to be a dumb silly old woman attacking her 'character' to mask that reality!
Doctor Strange 2 years ago
We actually studied this case in my business law class. If I remember correctly, her burns were basically to the bone. And most of the money she was awarded was due to 'punitive damages'. Simply put, the cost of her medical bills (which is all she wanted covered) was negligible to a company like McDonalds. Punitive damages are awarded specifically to make it so costly being sued that the company would rather change their practices (even if it costs profits) than risk being sued. Much of that money was later revoked, though, due to her being found partially responsible.
Valaun 2 years ago
Just a bit more info. The jury awarded her so much in punitive damages because McDonald's had hundreds of other lawsuits for the same problem which they ignored. Her award was 3 days of coffee profits from all of the McDonald's stores. Although she did deserve this amount, it was appealed and I don't believe she even got a million dollars. There was a documentary on it.

Macaulay Culkin.
For redditors old enough to remember, the young *Home Alone* star got a bunch of hate for being a spoiled brat when he sued to divorce his parents.

His father was an abusive thief. People see rich people in movies having fun and think that because of that they are immune to that. That's an us problem, and sadly perception is NOT reality.
On the whole, perhaps, in human history, there is not a single more or less well-known personality who was always, absolutely, one hundred percent received positively. Even, for example, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Pope John Paul II - all of them, at certain stages of their lives, sometimes faced massive disapproval from certain social groups.
But there are people about whom the public steadily formed an attitude - and this attitude just as steadily turned negative. For example, the famous composer Antonio Salieri was innocently harmed by a completely false and far-fetched accusation that he had poisoned his longtime friend Mozart. Well, or at least weaved vile intrigues against a brilliant colleague.
In reality, of course, it wasn't like that. As a twist of fate, during his lifetime, Salieri was much more successful than Mozart. And the talent of the Italian composer was also more than outstanding. And, by the way, it was Salieri who helped Mozart more than once in arranging his concerts and finding customers for musical works.

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
He was a Hungarian physician and scientist, described as the "saviour of mothers". He proposed the practice of washing hands with chlorinated lime solutions in 1847 while working in Vienna General Hospital's First Obstetrical Clinic, where doctors' wards had three times the mortality of midwives' wards.
Some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865 he allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand that may have been caused by the beating. His findings earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory.

"In the old days, of course, it was much easier to discredit the image of any person - after all, information, already incredibly scarce, was almost always transmitted verbally, and at the same time inevitably distorted," says Valery Bolgan, historian and editor-in-chief of the Ukraine-based Intent news agency. "People's rumors spread very quickly, and people had neither the opportunity nor the desire to verify the accuracy of the information."
"Today we are, however, at the other extreme - there is a huge amount of information around us, and we are faced with a lot of fakes and partial fakes, created both by someone's order and out of ignorance. In addition, the authority of leaders of both the mass media and public opinion is gradually falling. It is enough to convict some source of lying at least once for its information to be regularly called into question. In such a situation, it is not surprising that many people are prone to self-deception," Valery Bolgan concludes.

People didn't see that she was just a teenager who wanted to make the Earth a better place and had the courage to take some action. She's not the only kid who's spoken publicly on environmental matters. What really grossed me out was the way she was treated in Canada. She came to speak. A local news vulture found the hotel she was staying in and harassed her as she was trying to get to her room. He kept accusing her of creating some sort of conflict of interest, or conspiracy, just because Canada was in the middle of elections with talks about environmental issues, and he kept asking her why she was in Canada in the middle of elections.

galileo galilei. he was just speaking facts
LilliVB 2 years ago (edited)
Galileo was forced by the Catholic church at the time to deny his theories because they were against the doctrine that God put the man as the center of the universe, hence the Heart, being the planet of human kind had to be the center of universe, and all the planets and the sun had to rotate around it (geocentric model, tolemaic system). Galilei (according to Copernicus discover ) said instead that the centre was the sun with all the planet rotating around (heliocentric model, Copernican System). The church then basically bullied him to deny his theories or he would have been killed as heretic. An anecdote said that after he denied his theories in front of the church council he said under his breath "eppur si muove" (nevertheless it moves), to highlighting the fact that he still believed in his theories and the abjuration was forced in order to survive. (Edit: incorrect translation)

I was just reading about his case. Part of the reason behind his condemnation was because he LOVED proving himself the smartest person in the room. He was fairly vicious with his criticism of theories that did not align with his...theories that had become part of the Christian faith. He made enemies and even made enemies of former supporters such as the Jesuits. He was friends with Pope Urban (#?) who felt Galileo had betrayed him and gave him a lifetime house arrest sentence.

Most history claims Galileo was punished by the church for contradicting Earth Centric theories. Actually, he was punished for angering people in power for other reasons, and the church was used as a tool to punish him. The church had in fact accepted that the Earth revolved around the Sun long before this happened. They just had not yet changed their 'official' laws. As has happened many times before and since people in power used arcane legal processes to punish those they do not like.

Linkin Park, but more specifically, Chester Bennington.
He was bullied severely in high school for being skinny. He was also sexually abused as a child, so he wrote about his feelings. He was addicted to several drugs before he even turned 17. He did so much for his fans like even with a broken hand he continued to perform, but then the band changed genres went a little less heavy more softer instruments, but the lyrics were just as deep. The loudest fans didn't care they hated it. They bullied the band intensely. In 2006, Chester had a cyberstalker who wouldn't leave him or his family alone, the reasoning she gave when she got caught? "I was bored," she tortured Chester, put him on edge even after she was caught

She was a scapegoat. Whatever she did was criticized and slandered. If she bought jewellery and new clothes she was accused of wasting money, when she posed for a portrait in simple clothing she was accused of not caring for french craftsmanship and denying the royal tailors a wage. She was the symbol of royal depravity and everything she did was used to fire the rebellion despite her having next to none influence. When she didn't get kids because her husband didn't know how to duck her, she was blamed. Having girls, blamed for that too, having a boy, still not enough. And she was so young! Her husband too. They were almost still children.

The Original Bruno 2 years ago
More sympathy to his estranged wife, who ended up murdered for supporting him. In light of what we know about Arbuckle, is it impossible to believe a couple of people lied for him? Or paid people off to change their stories? A nurse who testified that her bruising proved she had been raped later retracted by saying her bruises may have been caused by wearing heavy jewelry. WTF? Witnesses at the party claimed she was found in wild convulsions, ripping her own clothing to shreds. Really? Arbuckle's defense singled out the woman on the jury as being a woman, so therefore prone to hysteria. Jurors were "bullied" and "threatened" into voting not guilty. The victim was accused of being promiscuous. A maid said Arbuckle's fingerprints showing his hand pressing the victim's to the door (suggesting he prevented her from escaping) couldn't be real because she cleaned the room; she appeared to have somehow gotten the investigator to believe her over his own eyes.
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! 2 years ago
He was arrested and spent 3 weeks in jail. Arbuckle took the stand in his own defense, and the jurors voted 10-2 for acquittal. When the prosecution tried him a second time, the jury deadlocked again. It wasn’t until the third trial, in March of 1922, that Arbuckle allowed his attorneys to call the witnesses who had known Rappe to the stand (he'd refused before out of "respect for the dead") He had little choice; his funds were depleted—he would spend more than $700,000 on his defense—and his career was presumed to be dead. They testified that Rappe had suffered previous abdominal attacks; drank heavily and often disrobed at parties after doing so; was promiscuous, and had an illegitimate daughter. One of them also attacked Maude Delmont as “the complaining witness that never witnessed.”

He was manly throughout the case and told a straightforward story which we all believe. We wish him success and hope that the American people will take the judgment of fourteen men and women that Roscoe Arbuckle is entirely innocent and free from all blame.

Are you kidding me? Shame on the person who put Phelps on this list. This guy is a repeat offender of drunk driving and was once arrested in a town where I used to live. He damn near ran over a good friend of mine who was about to cross the street when she saw his vehicle coming down the road, somwhat erratically, and at a high rate of speed. Because of this, she chose to wait until he passed and this decision almost certainly saved her life as he ran right through the stop sign. Thankfully, police pulled him over soon after before he could kill himself or someone else. And he didn't learn a thing from this incident because he's gone on to do it again while hypocritically lecturing kids on the dangers of DUI. But, because he is who he is, he regularly gets away with a slap on the wrist. Phelps should not be on this list. He should not be celebrated. He should be in jail. *Edited for clarity

I'm not sure he was treated differently than the average American would have been for a 2nd DUI arrest 10 years after the first, but I'm not an expert on state DUI laws from 2014.

Again, I don't mean to diminish what he did either and I'm glad your friend is ok.

I think more people would have admitted they agreed with her but were afraid to admit it. I know I did. I felt sorry for Britney when I was a teen and I liked her music. I don't understand how care about others is seen as such a negative thing.

Why does nobody see the artist for his art? Legit everyone was a racist bastařd in those days, why pick on him in particular? I've met people who refuse to read anything by him just because he was a bigot. Don't instantly boycott someone from the '30's due to their thoughts. Should we boycott George Washington or Sir John A? No. They were key to the development of their countries, even though they were both big asśholes.

So anyone who publicly speaks out about abuse and/or dealing with the effects of trauma make up the majority of this list. It's shameful

only those that speak about abuse from the powerful that control the media. It's almost like it's by design...

Can we please learn from this? Just leave celebrities alone. If you don't like them, don't consume their content, but no malicious bullying or dog-piling please! Olivia Wilde and Amber Heard seem to be the favourites to hate right now. Let's just mind our own business and be kind.
