Reputation is a fickle thing. It can take years—if not decades—to build up. But it only takes moments to destroy. Most stars know that they’re always in the spotlight, so whatever they do is going to haveconsequences. This is why it’s so important to have high moral standards and behave respectably when you’re a public figure.

Tom Hanks…isn’t on this list because he’s wholesome as f**k and a world-class gentleman.

Prince Andrew…..for minor reasons.
I’ll mention a group: Actor Scientologists. When the whole Scientology news exploded roughly 8 years ago, I lost all respect.
Let’s not be naive or holier-than-thou: everyone makes mistakes. To err is human, and all that. And to a certain extent, everyone deserves a second chance, forgiveness, and the opportunity to make amends. However, some sins are so egregious that it makes you wonder if redemption is even possible.Fully protecting your reputation is impossible. However, a good rule of thumb is to avoid acting impulsively. If you think you’re about to make an important decision, write an angry comment, berude, do something unethical, etc., it’s vital that you stop and think.

Chris Brown. The whole “he hit Rihanna” thing was downplayed in the media. Read the actual police report and you’ll see that he tormented and even attempted to kill her. And this man is still walking and making music and garnering fans. Really does make me sick.
Elon Musk, I got caught up in romantisizing the progress he was apparently making towards space travel. I remember saying I thought he was the closest we’d get to a real-life Zefram Cochrane. When I came to realise he was just another billionaire buying ideas and taking credit for them I stopped respecting him pretty quickly.Marilyn Manson, I don’t think I need to really explain why.
Pissed with Robin Williams for dying before I could hug him.
Give yourself some time to think things over if you feel like you’re in a situation where you’re very emotional and about to potentially make a mistake.
Forbes notes that something you should alwaysthinktwice before responding to someone in anger or frustration. Especially in a work context.
Gwyneth Paltrow - GoopThe medical information, that’s just wrong, the $100 dollar vagina candle, the Recipies it’s just nonsense and she’s not a bad actress.

Not really a celebrity, but Rudy Giuliani.I was 28 when 9/11 happened. He honestly and truly was America’s Mayor during that time. We had no clue about who the dude actually was. These were the innocent times when social media was little more than a fever dream in Tom Anderson’s mind.I can honestly not think of a single person who was so widely held in such high regard, and has since fallen so low.
For someone not already listed here, I’ll go with Ellen - used to respect her a lot for being a trailblazer before everything came to light in 2020.
Danny MastersonThought he was cool but later found out he is a higher up in scientology and got away with raping the wife of Cedric Bixler-Zavala (singer of the mars volta) and poisoned 2 of his dogs.
Whoopi Goldberg for saying the Holocaust wasn’t about race and downplaying Jews as a race and a discriminated people.
This pandemic showed a lot of celebs to be self centred and out of touch.I lost respect for everyone in that awful Imagine rendition.“Imagine no possessions” they sing while sitting in their billion dollar mansions. Meanwhile the rest of us are losing our jobs.
Jared Leto. Huge huge huge piece of s**t.
Elisabeth Moss - how do you play the main character in a show like The Handmaid’s Tale, yet practice Scientology in your personal life? I don’t get it.
Dan Schneider. He crated a ton of shows on nickelodeon that I loved growing up but he’s a disgusting man that more than likely molested a lot of young female stars growing up.
Steven Seagal. Because he is the world’s worst actor bar none.
I think the overall take away from this thread is don’t put anyone on a pedestal. You don’t know anyone 100% besides yourself and even that can change. Everyone’s flawed in some way.
Oprah. She did a special once on the Holocaust but made it all about her. It was very distasteful. We watched it back in high school, and even the teacher turned it off. To be fair, I had never watched her or her show before, but that experience soured her for me.
Anyone that we find had ties with Epstein.
Tiger Woods. Cheats on his wife and repeatedly drives under the influence. He got away from his last crash without a warrant for a blood test even though the facts and circumstances clearly show some sort of impairment.
Chris Brown. How does he even still have fans or followers.
Allison Mack from Smallville. She was a leader in a cult that exploited women and made them sex slaves. Currently in prison.
Tom Cruise is the first that comes to mind cause of his affliation with Sciencetology. Come one guys the reason why he is making bank with the Mission Impossible movies is cause he in big dept with that cult.
James Corden, Ellen and “Dr”. Phil.
Chrissy teigen. I’m embarrassed I was so fond of her persona, even bought her cook book.. Related to her struggles with alcohol. Now I just see her as a cringe worthy try hard who needs a never ending amount of validation. Oh and she told a teenager to kill themselves, tried to hide the media storm behind it and when it finally came out THEN gave a stupid public apology. SHE TOLD A TEENAGER WHO WAS BEING GROOMED TO TAKE A DIRT NAP, there’s no public apology for that. Go away and work on yourself. Just..gross.
Tyra Banks. The ways she exploits and abuses vulnerable contestants for views. Disgusting. It goes deeps. She’s as bad as Wendy in her own way.
Mariah Carrey is a complete c**t to food service workers.
Lance Edward Armstrong (né Gunderson; born September 18, 1971) is an American former professional road racing cyclist. Armstrong was stripped of his seven consecutive Tour de France titles from 1999 to 2005 after a doping investigation and his admission to using performance enhancing d***s. Also heard he was a wife beater. Little kid me used to heard about him all the time.
T.I. That dude was cool until he said he was getting his daughter checked for her virginity.
Kevin Hart.I handled his table at the Casino I worked for, guy was a total dk. My wife (even before my interaction) says he’s the biggest piece of st she ever dealt to. Other service industry employees have told me he’s the worst also.Kevin Hart is a grade A ae AND a fg stiff. I used to like his comedy but after meeting him? F**k him.
Nick Cannon for expounding the racist conspiracy theory that Israel stole the Jewish identity from African people.
I find it difficult to really feel connected to someone who sings about how “we’re all in this together” yet they need to drive a small vehicle to go from one side of their property to the other so they can enjoy their pool.

Elon Musk. I’ve been a huge space fan my whole life and a proponent for electric vehicles and sustainable energy. There is no doubt SpaceX and Telsa have made huge strides in those industries, he should be a no-brainer idol for me, but his recent stance on Covid has really made me conflicted.
I’m still utterly furious at Mason Greenwood.Edit: Manchester United footballer whose girlfriend published evidence of him beating, abusing, and threatening her with r**e last weekend.
Chad Michael MurrayI waited in line for a Nintendo Wii the day they came out. It was outside of a Best Buy. Some people camped out. I got there before sunrise, but not crazy early. It was a fun environment. Once the staff got there, they told everyone how the sale would work, got everyone excited, and I think handed out some stuff.About 20 minutes before the store opened, Chad Michael Murray pulled up in a black SUV, right to the front of the line. Like, literally parked his car in the fire lane right at the front of the line, and got out. It was summer and he was wearing a leather jacket. He was clearly expecting people to be excited to see him. I was close enough to the front to hear him. He went up to the employee who was coordinating everything, and said he was here for his Nintendo. The guy was nice, and basically said what he would to anyone - great! you’re in the right place. Get in line. CMM says that he was told there would be one saved for him. The guy didn’t know what he was talking about. After a little back and forth and another employee getting involved, he walks away with his Nintendo. He clearly thought everyone would cheer for him as he walked away. But, they ran out of Nintendos that day. Some kid went home empty handed. I still get furious thinking about it.F**k CMM.
Mariah Carey after her tea meltdown at the new years rockin eve fest and how we had to wait for her to perform the LAST song of the evening and this b***h wouldn’t come out because she didn’t get her tea and had to restart the song at least once if I remember correctly it was a while ago. But I absolutely can’t stand her!
Dr Phil after seeing him tell a victim of domestic violence “You don’t ever, never, ever, put your hands on a woman in anger” and telling him to just walk away if she attacks him because he tried to defend himself.
Travis Scott, couldn’t even fathom to say “I’m sorry”.
Any celebrity who endorses NFTs.
So, this one is an entirely personal issue. But I used to work at a hotel and Jerry Seinfeld was staying there while doing a show and he was incredibly rude. Yelling at staff about mild inconveniences and stuff. Basically he went full Karen, even said that he’ll never use this hotel chain again.In his defense, this all happened late at night after he was returning from a show, so maybe he just was having a bad night, so I don’t want to say he’s a terrible person. Just he was very rude to me and my coworkers and it’s left a bad taste in my mouth ever since.
Kevin Spacey.
James Franco. I’ve thought of him as a good actor but after I’ve seen that he’s a sexual predator, my respect gone downhill.
I would say Jeffree Star but I never had respect for him in the first place.
Drake Bell. I loved Drake and Josh growing up so I thought he was a pretty cool guy. Then ofc everything came forth recently about him being a p***phile, and apparently he has also been grifting people with cryptocurrency even more recently. I have no respect left for the man at allEdit: NFT’s not crypto, my bad.

Connor mcgregor punching old c***s.
Nick Cannon. Stop impregnating women bro*edit: not only is he a serial impregnator but also he has been known for his anti Semitism and generally just kinda being pretentious so yeah no. Sad thing is I have fond memories of watching the guy on reality shows and such when I was little but now, naaah.
Kat von D. I looked up to her so much as a kid and early teenager. She’s just gross. Dates gross people. Doesn’t believe in vaccines. Ugh.
Emma Roberts. I love American Horror Story. But I have such a beef with her after she beat up her ex boyfriend. I just hate all abusers, but nobody talks about it enough.
John Cena after apologising to China for calling Taiwan a country. I like him in the Peacemaker and he seems like a decent guy, but my god that apology was cringe and spineless.
Lori Loughlin from full house, she’s no aunt Becky in real life..
O.J. SimpsonHe was so clearly phoning in his performance in The Naked Gun 33 1/3, and didn’t do Nordberg justice. I was so put off that I completely stopped following his career after that.
F****n Jared Leto. As a kid he was great in 30 seconds to mars, like goddamn what a voice. Then I found out he could act when I saw requiem for a dream. Now he’s a cringe fest at best.
Kevin Hart. Quit cheating on your wives, dude.
Michael Peña, when I heard he was a Scientologist.
Vin Diesel. My dad’s close friend used to work for a filming company and they worked on Fast and Furious 9. He said that out of all of the people he have worked with Vin Diesel is the worst. Very unfriendly and at one point something minor (can’t remember the exact thing) happened that made Vin Diesel so mad he just went home. It took letters and emails from the corporate side to get him to finish filming. On the other hand Vin Diesel’s stunt double was one of the best people my dad’s friend has worked with. He was very co-operative.Edit: The only reason my dad’s friend doesn’t work for the company anymore is due to covid.
Elle McPherson. She chose the lying conman Andrew Wakefield? What the actual f**k?
Allison Mack. Need I say more?
Nick Cannon.
I used to be a huge Demi Lovato fan (see username). I mean HUGE. But it seems like they continue down the same path of self destruction. It goes - releases new album - claims they are sober - mid era they will either relapse or something happens - they get help - new music again - talks about how they’ve changed and are better. It’s an endless cycle. I think if they disappeared from the industry, I would respect them more. They still likely have millions and can retire quietly to never work again. Demi surrounds themselves around yes men. Also Demi is an a*****e (google demi lovato froyo) and thinks the world revolves around them.
Mason greenwood. As a Manchester United fan, heartbroken. But hope his ex gets the justice and recovers.
Travis Scott, as an avid rap fan i never liked him much in the first place, but after seeing him do the robot while children get trampled, well, yeah that tiny bit of respect he got from me from dropping a catchy hit is gone.
Billy Corgan. The Smashing Pumpkins was one if my all time favorites but god… he is such a douchebag.
At 13 I thought Onision was alright. HAHAHAHA god was I wrong. I’ve lost all respect for him and more.
JK Rowling. All she had to do was stfu and enjoy that Harry Potter money.
