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.

I've always thought he was a jacka$$. A lot of people confuse genius and arrogance. It's downright scary that he can literally make decisions that influence war outcomes. It also absolutely sucked when he admitted he had Aspergers because then everyone assumed his bumhole personality is because of it which just reinforces limiting and incorrect stereotypes about ASD.

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.

By all accounts he has always been egotistical, interested in learning psychological control techniques, and misogynistic. He's also been obsessed with Hitler for a long time. His speech during the Katrina fundraiser was spot on but his reputation prior to that was already one where he liked to make everything about him regardless of the situation. There's been a lot of debate about what condition he has and whether it's to blame for his behavior but according to Ye, and those closest to him when he was a little more healthy, the diagnosis is Bipolar. Family and friends did try to get him help but he has refused treatment. Bipolar does not explain or excuse his abusive behavior. He absolutely did have a break after his mom died, and based on recent accounts of his business interactions, he is surrounded by enablers. But that does not excuse the misogyny, stalker behavior and violent threats, antisemitism, slavery statements, and inappropriate sexual conduct at Adidas.

He annoyed me in the fantastic beasts interviews. He spoke of the movie like he WAS the character, like he was the creator and no one else but him understands the character. I could never get into those movies mainly because of the over-confidence of the cast and the storyline was cruddy too. I can't get into the wizarding world without a book to accompany the movie

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.

A series of unsuccessful investments, tax evasion, led Quinn to court. Today, the former billionaire is completely bankrupt, and contempt of court has been added to the charges. A lot of people hate Sean. Three years ago, his former manager was even kidnapped and beaten, but the perpetrators were never found. Perhaps the former depositors of his bank who lost their funds are involved here, perhaps other investors.

So much hatred in the community after what happened. And don't worry Sean is still in his mansion on the hill while normal folk lost everything.
