35 Celebrities That Had Everything And Made Career-Changing Mistakes, As Presented In This Thread

Famous people seem to have it all. Fame, recognition, money, and influence. Some folks would do anything to become a celebrity as it opens so many doors, but others wouldn’t like to be famous at any cost as they prefer a calm and private life.

However, while being famous may seem like a dream life where everything is possible, there is another side to the coin. People are watched and discussed, and every step and action is scanned and discussed. And while you may have the biggest potential, one mess-up, and you may never recover from it.

So, speaking about that, recently, one Reddit user started a discussion asking folks to list famous people who had everything going for them but then managed to mess up badly and never recover from it... because some of these actions are actually impossible to come back from and hope that everybody has forgotten. So sit back and scroll through this list, as most of us like some drama.

Her character in Smallville was original to the show and not part of the Superman mythos. She did so well by it that they introduced it in the comics.

But she had to go co-run a cult that sex trafficked women and branded them like animals.

End of career, no reunion shows, no comic cons, character dropped from the comics so no cool legacy, oh yeah...and jail.

He had an affair with a married woman. When her husband found out, he blackmailed/extorted Hamilton to keep it quiet. Later on, Hamilton's political enemies found the financial irregularities and accused him of abusing his post as Treasury Secretary to engage in corrupt financial practices. At that point he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He could either risk being accused of abuse of power while the government was still in a really precarious place or he could come clean and explain what was really happening. He chose the latter and wrote the "Reynolds Pamphlet" (the woman was named Maria Reynolds) admitting to everything. It pretty much ended his political career right there.

35 Celebrities That Had Everything And Made Career-Changing Mistakes, As Presented In This Thread Dunno if he counts as "famous" but... for a BREAKING NEWS scandal, how about Justin Sane, lead singer of Anti-Flag, a well-established (since 1988) punk band. For 35 years Sane's stage persona was of a militantly progressive singer, especially on women's issues. One of their songs is “Feminism Is for Everybody”, and Sane was a VERY vocal supporter of the #MeToo movement.

Except *Rolling Stone* just published [a long story](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/anti-flag-justin-sane-1234817170/) in which 13 women accuse him of violent sexual assault. Many were in high school at the time. One was 12.

When the rest of the band heard the news they immediately broke up and released a statement saying something like "this isn't the guy we thought we knew for 35 years". I'm not sure I believe that. The *Rolling Stone* piece mentions a couple times when the band *had* to know. For instance, Sane once (allegedly) took a girl to a shed behind a venue, and the rest of the band were (supposedly) making "where's Justin?" jokes, as if they knew.

Then Reiser murdered strangled his wife, was convicted of murder, went to prison and everything fell apart.

The problem for a lot of people of this type is that they're surrounded by a lot of hangers-on like managers and assistants and publicists etc., who see the 'celebrity' as their meal-ticket. Naturally, they continually tell the 'celebrity' that they're the greatest, everyone loves them, they can do anything, and eventually the 'celebrity' comes to believe that, hey, you know what, i really AM special, and i can do anything i want and it'll be ok/fine/great.

The title of this article really bugs me. Being a rapist or an abuser isn’t a mistake. It is well within the control of these people to not do these things.

List fails without Jussie Smollett being on it. He's a real piece of sh*t.

Anybody mentioned Ozzy Osbourne here? After building the Priest of Darkness persona and animal decapitation he turned out to be a softy. Big disappointment ;)).

Ian Watkins from the Lost Prophets. He not only ended his own career but ended the careers of his band mates.

This list is incomplete without Amber Heard. She had THE JHONNY DEPP. She ruined his life and hers by being a complete b***h. Ruined her life & career but her movies are still gonna be out this year.

Was it Tom Selleck who went from Number 1 actor to number zero in about a week.

What about Elizabeth Berkley from "Saved by the Bell". She ruined her career with one bad movie, Showgirls. I wonder if she could make that decision over again if she would decline that movie.

Not as famous as some of these, but I always liked Jeffrey Jones as an actor, especially as the emperor in Amadeus. But he turned out to be a sex offender and his career tanked.
