30 Stories When Someone Destroyed Their Solid Reputation In A Few Minutes, As Told In This Online Group

In 1988, Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson won the Olympic 100m with a new world record of 9.79 seconds. The next day, the doping test of the champion was positive and he was disqualified. One of the newspapers came out with the great headline "From hero to zero in 9.79 seconds."

Why are we telling you this? Because, in fact, world history is full of cases when a person carefully built their impeccable reputation for years, and then, by some incredible coincidence, spoiled everything, turning into an absolute outcast. Of course, not as fast as 9.79 seconds, but nevertheless...

There is a popular thread on Reddit where a topic starter asked: "Warren Buffet said, 'It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.' What's a real-life example of this?" By now the post has gained almost 50K upvotes, and examples are still being added. From Rudy Giuliani to John DeLorean, from Jim Marshall (sorry, Vikings fans!) to Lance Armstrong, from hero to zero in almost 20K comments.

Bored Panda compiled a selection of the most popular examples from this thread for you, so feel free to scroll to the very end with pleasure, and if you have your own candidate for this list, be sure to write in the comments!

30 Stories When Someone Destroyed Their Solid Reputation In A Few Minutes, As Told In This Online Group My grandpa. For 23 years of my life, I thought he was the most honest and upstanding person I had the honour of knowing. Then last year, I found out he’s always had a habit of manipulating his dying family member’s/friend’s wills into leaving him and his wife the good, expensive stuff (houses, cars, etc). It’s how he’s avoided bankruptcy for so damn long. Selling off these stolen houses to pay for his own. He stole a house out from his own step daughter after her son had been in a near fatal accident, and she herself had just survived a suicide attempt. So yeah. Turns out the best man I know is one of the worst. And what’s better? He passed on his house stealing skills to his cvnt daughter (my aunt). So the cycle continues. Ugh. Sorry for the rant.

30 Stories When Someone Destroyed Their Solid Reputation In A Few Minutes, As Told In This Online Group Former Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player and executive Al Campanis.

He had a brief career as a player with the Brooklyn Dodgers, playing only 7 games with them in 1943, but spent a lot of time in the minor leagues and played one season in the minors with Jackie Robinson the year before Robinson became the first African-American player in the majors. After retiring as a player he became a scout and moved up in the organization to become the General Manager of the Dodgers in 1968.

On April 6, 1987 Campanis was invited to appear on the TV show *Nightline* to be interviewed by Ted Koppel about Jackie Robinson, as April 15th would be the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's first game in the majors and they were good friends until Robinson's death in 1972.

Koppel asked Campanis about why there were so few Black managers and no Black general managers. Campanis answered, "I truly believe that they may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager, or, perhaps, a general manager." When pressed later in the interview by Koppel, he said "Why are Black men or Black people not good swimmers? Because they don't have the buoyancy" and also saying that the Black race "certainly are short" on individuals with strong decision-making capabilities.

He was fired from the Dodgers less than two days later and never worked in baseball again, passing away in 1998.

30 Stories When Someone Destroyed Their Solid Reputation In A Few Minutes, As Told In This Online Group The PR chick traveling to South Africa who tweeted something like, "heading to Africa, hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding, I'm white!"

Turned her phone off for the flight, and by the time she turned it on when she landed, it had gone viral and, if memory serves, she had already lost her job.

Edit: Quite a few people commenting that she must be awful at her job and/or she should have known better.
1. in the earlier days of social media, it was reasonably expected that your posts would remain private among your network. This is one of the first cases of a non-celebrity post going viral and being publicly shamed for it. There was no precedent. Bad judgement? Of course, but 2013 and 2022 are very different times
2. her ability to craft effective corporate communications is not diminished by the poor judgement mentioned above that she exercised *once*. Presumably, she was hired by other firms (and perhaps rehired by her old firm) not because of her "fame," but because she was actually skilled at what she does.

Edit 2: while I haven't seen it, the sheer number of references to The Family Guy seems to indicate that yes, they did parody this situation in an episode. Seems like Seth McFarlane's brand of humor.

Welllll, in this particular instance, AIDS is largely spread in Africa by the straight Black population who have been brainwashed by the Catholic church into believing that condoms actually increase the spread of AIDS (yes, this is genuinely a church teaching in Africa). That's why there are so many AIDS babies. So the tweet is not so much racist in intent as a leaden attempt at ham-fisted satire.

Medically? About as much as the belief in the 80's that it was a disease that only gay men could catch, or the belief in the 90's that a man couldn't catch it from a woman. That being said, there are still some places in less advanced areas where the belief that raping a virgin can cure a person of AIDS... So, STUPID is endemic in the Human Animal...

It was intended to be a joke playing on racism and the fact that, of course, race would have nothing to do with getting AIDS. But it doesn't come off well.

The leading theory of how HIV evolved is that native Africans ate the bushmeat of monkeys that had SIV and it mutated into HIV...then a mixture of factors caused it to spread like wildfire in Africa, before spreading worldwide. Now, just a few of those factors: at one time, back in the 90's, the then President of South Africa spread the misinformation that AIDS was a myth made up by the U.S.A. to stop them from having sexy fun; several religious organizations, with missionaries in Africa, have long told people not to use condoms, with varying explanations; some traditional "medicine" practitioners believed and/or convinced people that they could cure AIDS with varying methods, one I learned about involved cutting lines into the upper arm, with acutting tool that was, of course, not cleaned between uses.

There's a whole chapter on this in the book 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed' by Jon Ronson - which explains this in detail. In summary - it was a joke that people didn't understand and took at face value. Her joke was actually pointing out how sad it is that it disproportionately affects certain demographics. But as always - 'edgy' jokes read out, out of context are almost never funny.

Roxy Eastland 2 years ago

The full story about her comment is so different to how it was perceived. Her tweet, to all of her seven followers (or however many, it was a very small number), was very much satire. She knew all of them would know what she meant, that just by the colour of her skin she has privilege that isn't always acknowledged. One of those friends shared it, maybe even thinking that also their friends would get the satire, but then the cat was out of the bag, and it went crazy without the context of knowing her personality and humour. I still think her employer was disgraceful for being led by mob rule, instead of speaking privately with her and sorting it out. And the outcome of that incident led to mob rule and deliberate attempts to ruin other people's lives for single comments.

Their actual company?

-"Cubicle romps" to harass women co workers, the "Bill Cosby" suite, harassing a woman to suicide, passing over women for promotions because they might "get pregnant and take time off work," etc.

There is so, so much wrong with that company and the kicker now is that their "in house investigation" said they did nothing wrong.

30 Stories When Someone Destroyed Their Solid Reputation In A Few Minutes, As Told In This Online Group Jim Marshall. One of the greatest defensive linemen in NFL football history.

To quote vikings.com : "A valued member of Minnesota's "Purple People Eaters" defensive line, Marshall holds numerous NFL records that include the most seasons played by a defensive player (20, along with Junior Seau and Darrell Green), most consecutive games by a defensive player (282), most consecutive starts by a defensive player (270), and most career fumble recoveries (30). Marshall, who was still a starter at age 42, helped the Vikings win three NFC titles along with the NFL championship in 1969."

However, one day, in one game, Jim Marshall had a quick lapse in judgement and now almost EVERY NFL fan remembers Jim Marshall for one mistake he made: He picked up a fumble and ran the wrong way.

Tom Cruise. I wasn't a huge fan, but really liked Minority Report. I lost any and all positive feelings I had after: A) Jumping on Oprah's couch yelling he was in love (Katie), B) Criticized Brooke Shields for using Post Partum Depression pills. C) In an interview with yet-to-be disgraced Matt Lauer, Tom told him he knew more about psychology than Matt, ranting in a very unhinged way. I don't go to his movies, don't rent his movies, don't pay attention to his social media. He's a rabid Scientologist and the developer of Scientology thought himself to be some kind of genius. L. Ron Hubbard submitted a report to the AMA about psychological drugs/methods. He was pretty much laughed at, and from then on, his cult doesn't believe in any sort of psychological help. I know of at least 1 family murder due to lack of care because the kid was going through a psychotic break, his Mom refused any medication and he ended up killing his Mother.
