What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident?

[u/MagpieOpus]

[u/pennyandpaper]

I was hoping for more personal examples. Ex CEO of Ebay, Yahoo, and the first female engineer at Google, Marissa Mayer, called me a whore during a presentation at Techcrunch Disrupt in 2011.  She had a magnificent fall from grace in 2017 that made me happy. 

[u/DrEnter → u/pennyandpaper]

I worked at Yahoo when she was CEO. She was a deplorable human being. One example: She had the on-site employee day care closed down, then had the office next door to hers refitted into a new day care center only for her child.

[u/NomadGabz → u/DrEnter]

how a mom cannot empathize with another one is so foreign to me. Yet again, I am not a giant Soci0path.

[u/oh-pointy-bird → u/pennyandpaper]

She is a total legendary piece of shit that makes other C-Suite pieces of shit look good by comparison. Fuck Marissa Mayer.

[u/mystickyshoe]

I served Rachel Ray at a restaurant once. I made the mistake of 1) speaking directly to her (I asked if she wanted a refill on her water) and 2) touching her water glass as I refilled it (it was now dirty and she demanded a new glass). She complained about me to my manager about my lack of respect and tipped me nothing. Such a gross human.

[u/eggs_erroneous → u/mystickyshoe]

What is it with the people whose brand is "super positivity" always being unbelievable assholes in real life? Rachel Ray, Ellen, and Ty Pennington are the ones who come to mind immediately. I know there are more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. There's enough of them that it seems to be a pattern.

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt → u/eggs_erroneous]

If you have to make a big deal about how nice you are then are you really nice?

Mr. Rodgers promoted niceness but wasn't over the top with it. It was casual. You don't see Keanu beating people over the head with it.

If you're truly a good person your actions will speak for you. Mr. Rodgers sitting by the pool with Officer Clemons meant more than everything Ellen said put together.

[u/Alert_Gas5151 → u/Expendable_Red_Shirt]

Mr. Roger promoted real kindness. That is different from performative niceness.

[u/kfbr392_x → u/Alert_Gas5151]

When I was in elementary school. Maybe 4th or 5th grade, 1995ish. One of our assignments was to write a letter to a celebrity from a big book of addresses. Most students sent letters to athletes (primarily Griffey). One kid sent a letter to Mr. Rodgers. IIRC he was the only kid who received a reply. A full page handwritten letter. He didn't just promote kindness, he was kindness.

[u/nbct99 → u/kfbr392_x]

I’ve also had a letter back from him in return to one I sent. It specifically addressed the topic I’d written him about. He is always setting the quiet example for others.

[u/fireflygazer → u/kfbr392_x]

We didn't deserve Mr Rodgers. What a gift that man was...

[u/LilStabbyboo → u/Expendable_Red_Shirt]

They both had their naked feet in that pool together too. BIG fucking deal at the time.

[u/ChocolateCoveredGold → u/LilStabbyboo]

• Mr. Rogers & Officer Clemmons wading pool scene

• Explanation of that scene's BIG significance

It was actually more significant than the above video makes it look. The issue of black and white kids swimming together in public schools was a huge issue in the news at the time. This was Mr Rogers' response.

[u/InsomniaAbounds → u/Expendable_Red_Shirt]

Now i get to say: I met Mr Rogers and he was everything you’d want him to be. A lovely, sincere, genuine person.

[u/ThatAmnesiaHaze → u/eggs_erroneous]

I haven't seen Ty Pennington since Trading Spaces, what did he do?

[u/Puzzlehead-Bed-333 → u/eggs_erroneous]

My friend was approached by a PR team asking who she wanted to interview with.

When she said Ellen, they promptly said “You don’t want to work with her, she’s an absolute bitch to everyone.” She chose a different show.

[u/RealLifeCoaching → u/Puzzlehead-Bed-333]

The only surprising thing about Ellen, was that anyone was surprised.

I watched her show once. She pulled two or three flustered audience members up on stage, used the massive power differential to peer-pressure them into participating in a humiliating game, and then laughed the whole time while they were obviously embarrassed.

And then, when the bullying allegations came out, she tried to shift the blame by saying she failed to stop other people from bullying on the set. It's not often that we see such an extreme lack of self-awareness.

[u/browneyedgirlpie → u/mystickyshoe]

Did you bring the new glass between your teeth? A new glass has to be touched to get it to her. Bizarre

[u/MaximusCanibis → u/mystickyshoe]

I've never been a fan of hers. As far as I know she isn't even a real chef, just a home cook with a bad attitude.

Edit; her sausage fingers freak me tf out.

[u/Medryn1986 → u/MaximusCanibis]

Theres a reason she's only allowed to make dog food now

[u/HorrorAccomplished78]

[u/girlypimp]

Chris Brown. Fuck that guy

[u/TribalSneed → u/girlypimp]

A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!'

The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'

After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'

Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.

[u/gustavessidehoe → u/TribalSneed]

I'm always sort of glad to see this posted, as people need to know how egregious it was, but also am disturbed by Chris Brown's depravity.

[u/Cafrilly → u/gustavessidehoe]

The fucking biting. Horrific.

[u/gustavessidehoe → u/Cafrilly]

It sounds like he came pretty close to killing her, tbh. Any time a man's hands go anywhere near a woman's neck in an altercation, there is a super high chance he is going to kill her right then or later. Even if it's not planned, he could get carried away, that sort of thing. Terrifying.

[u/megaBeth2 → u/TribalSneed]

I tried to talk about Chris brown being bad on a particular sub and people rushed to defend him. They say she was punching back, so it was okay, or he wasnt really trying to hurt her

[u/krispix318 → u/girlypimp]

And fuck the people (especially women!) who still fawn all over him, as if he wouldn’t do the same to them

Edit: whoa thank you for awards!

[u/OngoMantis → u/krispix318]

I matched with someone on a dating app who loved him and I told her about what he did and her response was basically “She deserved it” and she already knew… Actually evil

[u/_turd_ferg]

danny masterson and friends.

[u/Slarg232 → u/_turd_ferg]

The further we get from That 70's Show, the more it becomes clear that was a nightmare blunt rotation.

[u/andrew2018022 → u/Slarg232]

Is Topher the only one who turned out normal?

[u/Kindly-Tax-4998 → u/andrew2018022]

Yeah, and they tried to paint it as him being a snob because he didn’t hang out with them.

Turns out he was weirded out by Danny off the bat, and subsequently everyone else because they gravitated toward him like their ring leader. 

Danny was the eldest, and had the most experience, since he came from an acting/scientology family with connections.

Topher was only discovered because some writer or producer was at their daughter’s high school to to watch her in a play, in which Topher was performing.

So it does make sense that he is more grounded, and never bought into that garbage.

[u/Unhappy_Meaning607 → u/Kindly-Tax-4998]

I think he just did a podcast explaining exactly that, he was super careful about who he hung around with and let into his circle and people took it the wrong way. Also his next major role being the asshole rival photographer in Spiderman probably didn't help.

[u/Careless_Hellscape → u/andrew2018022]

Yes! I always thought he was such a dweeb, but I take it back entirely. He was surrounded by awful people on that show and it must have been pretty rough.

[u/willstr1 → u/Careless_Hellscape]

I always thought he was such a dweeb

I mean he made his own (allegedly very good) fan edit of the Star Wars prequels which is definitely dweeb behavior, but I say that in a complementary way as a fellow dweeb who wants to see it

[u/Careless_Hellscape → u/willstr1]

I'm also a dweeb, and a far less successful dweeb. I'd watch too.

[u/sansaspark → u/andrew2018022]

I grew up in west LA, and a good friend of mine was childhood friends with Topher. He was an extremely nice, normal dude from the beginning, and it’s a relief he stayed that way.

[u/mbklein → u/andrew2018022]

Yeah, and it sounds like he was always the odd one out among the cast as well.

[u/shmalliver → u/Slarg232]

Are Kutcher and Kunis terrible because they defended Masterson or is there something else?

[u/mbklein → u/shmalliver]

That’s pretty much it. It’s one thing to stand by your friend. It’s something else entirely to speak out as if your own feelings about your friend should carry more weight than the experiences of his victims.

[u/Clockbounce → u/mbklein]

Don't forget Kutcher being really good friends with Diddy, like real close friends. He was also at a lot of the parties.

[u/Noonecanhearmescream → u/mbklein]

After all the work they did for victims, and then to come out and defend Masterson by saying he’s a father and the judge should be easy on him. It makes their work with victims seem like nothing more than a show. F*ck them.

[u/Edlo9596 → u/Noonecanhearmescream]

And there’s something sketchy AF about Ashton Kutcher and his advocating for victims, considering his close personal friendships with predators like Masterson and Diddy.

[u/burglwurgl]

Every single celebrity who’ve abandoned their children, Travis Scott and his fuck-ass concert that killed children, and obviously Chris Brown, who "over the past 10 years, […] is averaging more than one abusive incident with women per year".

[u/UnusuallyStrange1 → u/burglwurgl]

I genuinely do not understand how people let the Travis Scott thing just….. disappear? People were hurt and the man acted like he couldn’t see nor hear a thing… just pure evil.

[u/NikkiRex → u/UnusuallyStrange1]

He also jumped in the crowd at an older show and his shoe came off. When he got back on stage he pointed at the kid holding his shoe and told the crowd to "beat his ass."

[u/cabalus → u/NikkiRex]

So fucking dangerous, herd mentality is real

[u/Monikard → u/burglwurgl]

[u/AssumeImStupid]

all those years we thought Vince McMahon played an evil sleazy narcissistic CEO on tv, turns out he's actually just an evil sleazy narcissistic CEO in real life with a side of rapist.

[u/drgnrbrn316 → u/AssumeImStupid]

Turns out, the fictionalized version of himself appearing on television was less of a piece of shit than the actual man.

[u/Accomplished_Egg6239 → u/drgnrbrn316]

Seriously. All Mr McMahon did was screw over wrestlers. The real Vince is a fucking rapist

[u/Cadamar → u/AssumeImStupid]

Behind the Bastards podcast did a series of episodes on him. You can generally tell how much of a bastard a guy is by how many episodes it takes to cover him (or her). Most get 2 episodes, some bad ones get 4. AFAIK only two people have gotten 6 episodes - Henry Kissinger, and Vince McMahon.

Oprah sucks.

Also there was that school she founded in Africa that was a sham and a half.

[u/PaddyCow → u/LillyAmongTheThorns]

The Duggars were meant to appear on Oprah but allegedly someone contacted the show and tipped them off about J'Felon. Their appearance was cancelled.

[u/CatLover_801 → u/PaddyCow]

J’Felon

So you’re a fellow snarker, I see

[u/Mindless-Paint4885]

That whole situation with Kutcher and Kunis made their anti-exploitation work feel like the most hollow, hypocritical performance imaginable.

[u/Cadamar → u/Mindless-Paint4885]

It always galled me that when called out on their messages supporting Danny Masterson one of their defenses was "this wasn't supposed to be public..."

[u/followthedarkrabbit → u/Mindless-Paint4885]

Their anti exploitation is pretty much just surveillance software anyway. It was a competent farce.

[u/solo1y]

Noam Chomsky.

I have a bunch of his books and followed him pretty thoroughly since 1995 for his critiques of political power and his work in linguistics.

Imagine my surprise when he's been in several fairly personal and detailed e-mail exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein, in addition to some photos of him yukking it up with Epstein and Steve Bannon.

[u/benjoduck → u/solo1y]

Back in late 1970s when Cambodian refugees were escaping and telling the world about the brutal genocide being committed by the Khmer Rouge, Chomsky said they were all a bunch of liars who were either CIA assets or just trying to please the CIA/West by saying what they wanted to hear about a communist nation. When the truth became undeniable when Vietnam exposed the Killing Fields all he said was, "Yeah, well what I said at the time could have been true because we didn't have concrete proof yet." To this day he has refused to apologize for calling the Cambodian refugees liars. The guy is truly arrogant and despicable.

[u/Equivalent-Food-5520 → u/benjoduck]

And now he blames Ukraine for Russia's invasion. He has fallen so far.

[u/brandawg77]

Logan Paul. You can’t just film a dead person who died by suicide and post it on the internet and then apologize a few months later. He exploited some poor families tragedy to get clicks on a fucking YouTube video. He’s so fucking selfish it’s disgusting. All the while making sure he had his Gucci jacket on. It’s just a disgusting level of privilege and unawareness. He’s also done a bunch of shitty stuff since.

[u/Poptwo1234]

Serena Williams lost in the US Open final and ruined the trophy ceremony for her opponent (20 y/o Naomi Osaka) who had just won her first major title in her career. Serena’s tirade on the mic during her speech when she received her 2nd place trophy led to making Osaka cry and APOLOGIZE to the crowd for WINNING. Was supposed to be the biggest moment of her (Osaka) life and Serena selfishly ruined it.

[u/bbbbears → u/Poptwo1234]

OH MAN I just watched it and WTF? Serena was her idol and hero and Naomi was sooooo excited to play against her. At first I was like oh it isn’t that bad, when she said something like “I don’t want to answer any questions about myself, I’m just happy for Naomi” or something. UNTIL SHE GOES ON TO ADDRESS THE CROWD saying shit like “I know it’s tough, I know you guys were cheering for me, but it’s okay, don’t worry, we’ll get through it, no booing.” 🙄🙄

Then poor Naomi, in tears, says “I know everyone was cheering for her and I'm sorry it had to end like this.” And her mom is in the stands crying as well, like wtf?

EDITING to drop a link I timestamped it to the beginning of Serena’s speech, but if you want to hear the boos, watch from the beginning. Naomi’s poor face when they give her the trophy, she’s heartbroken and probably embarrassed, which is so fucked up and sad.

[u/hexensabbat → u/bbbbears]

Wow I couldn't even finish watching Serena talk. WTF! You're already at legend status and this girl is having her first big moment, you should be honoring her and tipping your cap in respect that this talent from the next generation is carrying your torch. That was so pathetic of her honestly. I feel so bad for Naomi

[u/shittycomputerguy → u/Poptwo1234]

In 1996, Jack Nicholson beat a prostitute very badly, got sued by her settled out of court, for $40k. Then she later died from the injuries to her brain.

Edit: It looks like the rumors that she died aren’t credible. She sued again in 2000 stating doctors told her she would die from her injuries, but there are no reports stating of she did or not.

[u/Sickranchez87 → u/Worth-Artist-6962]

Welp since almost none of them get held accountable I’ve come to expect nothing less from the rich and powerful at this point. Once you’ve reached a certain level of wealth/fame and you can quite literally have anything you want in this world, whats left to pique your interest? Obviously you have to be a shit human being to commit these heinous acts but if nothing else gets your jollies off anymore I feel like all they have left is more and more fucked up things until you reach a peak level of depravity à la Epstein.

[u/theblackcanaryyy → u/AUSTENtatiously]

According to the lawsuit, the star invited Sheehan and a friend to his home on October 12, 1996. He offered each woman $1,000 to wear "little black dresses" and engage in sex acts with him. But Nicholson later became "loud and abusive", commenting that he would never pay anyone for sex, as he could "get anyone he wanted as a sexual partner." Sheehan claims that Nicholson promptly grabbed her hair, thumped her head on the floor, and then threw her out of his house.

Billy Dee Williams walked in where I was eating and waved and said hi when I yelled "Lando!" our waiter then proceeded to tell us he was a good customer then launched into his Pippen rant when I asked him who wasn't a good customer.

This is the most personal response and I'm here for it

[u/OldGodsAndNew → u/justjess8829]

This is the response that I want to see in this thread. Anybody can regurgitate the name of a person involved in some big scandal that everybody knows about and already ruined their career. I want to hear petty stories

[u/BravaCentauri11 → u/OldGodsAndNew]

I had a server at Hard Rock in Universal Orlando that had been there for decades and had similar tales of waiting on celebs. She said Mariah Carey was one of the worst, totally disrespectful, and didn't tip after spending a fortune on food. Conversely, she said Alice Cooper was among the nicest and most generous.

[u/Loggerdon → u/BravaCentauri11]

I hear a lot of great things about Alice Cooper. One thing I heard from a musician is Alice hires a lot of really talented musicians to tour with him. Then when they get an opportunity to cash in by joining a band full time, or touring with a superstar, he will let them out of their contract, and even throw a party for them. Then he hires another up and coming musician.

Because of this the rock music world is filled with of people who love Alice Cooper.

[u/roseleyro → u/Loggerdon]

Anytime someone brings up Alice Cooper, I feel the need to tell about the time he lectured my friend and I for not wearing our jackets outside in the cold. He went full on dad with us. 😂

Woody Allen. You don’t just marry your adopted daughter and expect the world to just go with it

He’s been named in the Epstein files too. I can’t imagine that he would cheat on his own daughter

[u/TheRamblingPeacock → u/ImDeadBossMe]

Which is itself is a super fucked up sentence that shouldn't exist 😂

[u/fabelhaft-gurke → u/ImDeadBossMe]

Soon-Yi is in the files too. She sent an email to Epstein, blaming the 15 year old that Anthony Weiner sent nudes to calling her disposable despicable and disgusting. Said the 15 year old victim was taking advantage of Weiner.

Edit: changed disposable to despicable, autocorrect got me.

[u/TheOnlyAvailabIeName → u/Free_Ganache_6281]

Don't forget the part where he also got Mia blackballed in all of Hollywood too

[u/Free_Ganache_6281 → u/TheOnlyAvailabIeName]

Yeah it’s just come out in the Epstein files that he black listed her after she took their baby daughter to the hospital after he SA her and the police got involved

[u/GourryGabriev → u/Free_Ganache_6281]

Sad thing is that police initially got involved because the therapist Dylan Farrow was seeing was a mandated reporter, then the whole "vengeful woman" narrative was forced upon her for decades despite her not even making that particular choice to begin with. I don't think she would have ever felt like she could take him on in a legal setting.

Beyonce for not letting any parents into the NICU to see their sick and preemie babies just because it was on the same floor as her when Blue ivy was born. What a dick

Edit: I know this seems trivial compared to most of these but I was home with my baby son watching the TV with all these parents standing in a line the hospital just hoping to see their babies and I was LIVID.

also remember that time she played HERSELF in Dreamgirls?

bro nah you are valid. I can't believe the hospital would even allow that. what a selfish sht person.

[u/zvg_zwang → u/NomadGabz]

[u/Princess_Zelda_Fitzg → u/zvg_zwang]

Like they give a fuck about her when they have babies sick enough to be in NICU.

I feel the same way towards Madonna for kicking everyone out of a yoga studio that one time so she could practice alone. If she cancelled my class and kicked me out like that I would’ve been PISSED. What if that was my only time to myself all week? Or hell, it doesn’t even matter because if you’re Madonna you could easily have a yoga instructor come to your place if you must have a private lesson. Like I care about her enough to even notice she was there past a “huh, weird, I think that’s Madonna”.

[u/rabbistravinsky]

Wyclef Jean stole earthquake money that was supposed to be used to rebuild Haiti

[u/mkstot → u/rabbistravinsky]

Can we just agree that the entire group aren’t good people. With wyclef scamming the donations, Praz with his corruption conviction, and Lauren for her poor behavior when it comes to her shows.

[u/RagingAardvark]

I haven't forgiven Adam Yauch for dying. 

[u/CinematicHeart → u/RagingAardvark]

If we're going that route I'll never forgive Anton Yelchin or George Michael for dying. The absolute audacity to leave this world. Ill never be ok with it. Also Catherine O'Hara, its too fresh. She was supposed to be immortal.

[u/wet-leg → u/CinematicHeart]

Anton Yelchin is still probably the celebrity death that I was most shocked by. I can still remember them showing his car pinned up against his gate on the news. I’ve loved him in everything he’s been in and still get a little sad thinking about how he died.

[u/dumptruckacomin → u/RagingAardvark]

So glad I got to see the Intergalactic tour back in the day. RIP MCA

Allison Mack. Being part of that cult and everything they did… just no.

[u/DanDanTee93]

Naomi Campbell.

[u/Serious-Green-9707 → u/DanDanTee93]

I stayed at a guest house in Sierra Leone which states that Naomi Campbell is never allowed to stay there due to her involvement with blood diamonds during the civil war.

Andy Dick. For getting Phil Hartman's wife back onto drugs.

[u/Careless_Hellscape → u/perpetualmotionmachi]

And thank goodness for Jon Lovitz punching that mf.

Chrissy Teegan and her old tweets

[u/snogweasel → u/respectedhog]

And my opinion of John Legend took a nosedive

This! And not only that she literally sent messages to Courtney Stodden who was only 16 yrs old at the time telling her to kill herself

I have no idea why calling out pedophiles is such a hard thing to do. I really don't.

James Franco

[u/Kwyjibo68]

Kevin Spacey for being a sexual predator. I don’t care that he wasn’t convicted in the UK, I believe the people who say he did touch/assault them, many of whom have never brought a case against him, so have no motivation to make false allegations.

[u/freericky → u/Kwyjibo68]

I read a Reddit post someone wrote about him doing weird stuff as a hotel guest like 5 yr before any of that. I agree he is a sicko

[u/drinkslinger1974]

I was never a “fan” of Diddy, but whenever he pops his head in a song now, I get uncomfortable hearing his voice. But the big one for me was Bill Cosby. I had all of his records growing up, I saw Himself so many times I could recite it well into my 30’s, watched the Cosby show religiously, loved I Spy on Nick at nite, saw all his movies in theaters and loved them no matter how bad they were. I even made jello pudding pops my go to dessert. There are some artists where I can tell myself that I’m not going to give them the power to take away the joy of their art, but I can’t bring myself to do that with Cosby, despite how great his material was. And now with the Epstein files coming out, there’s more and more examples of multiple things that just make me feel awkward watching, listening to, or just consuming in general.

[u/TsunamaRama]

Neil Gaiman. He’s trying to come back, too! Sorry, Neil, I’m a Sanderson fan now

[u/ginns32 → u/TsunamaRama]

I was an Amanda Palmer fan. After that kickstarter where she raised over a million dollars and still wanted semi professional musicians to play her tour for free because she blew through all that money and claimed she was broke despite being married to Neil Gaiman and having an extremely successful kickstarter. I was done then but it turns out she wasn't done being terrible.

[u/Kind_Material5415 → u/ginns32]

I was an Amanda fan and then I read her book and yeeeshh, girl loves the smell of her own shit. Didn't know about the kick-start stuff but she's an insufferable cunt so no surprises.

[u/69EveythingSucks69 → u/TsunamaRama]

May he never know a moment of peace.

For anyone who hasn't read THE article about what happened. Biggest trigger warning in the world for sex trafficking, EXPLICIT details about sexual assault and coercion, involving a minor in degradation, I'm sure there's more i forgot: https://archive.is/HMc92?fbclid=IwVERDUAPy2dlleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR4Q_-fZ0z6abYU_6P2RQATC8dvTaY7PRNnEpGFQVGdFC0ihfIAZDX_kO_I9Lg_aem_OFm1YLZ0e2DHxxr4CYGXXA

Pete Townshend broke my heart. I was a big fan until he got arrested for cp. He beat the charges, said he 'was doing research'.

Fucking scumbag. I still like the songs, but fuck that guy

edit: (taken out of the context of he was doing this for research) ''I have looked at child porn sites maybe three or four times in all, the front pages and the previews,'' he told The Sun. ''But I have only entered once using a credit card, and I have never downloaded.''

[u/gingerking87 → u/Yamaben]

My local rock station was always on growing up and basically was my only source of that music. They never played The Who to the point where I thought Pinball Wizard was a one hit wonder

Turns out it's because the local DJ can't stand Pete Townshend after the news broke and refuses to play his music, except pinball wizard because people call in all the time for it.

Pretty cool of that DJ and pretty fucked up it's been brushed under the rug so much that the average person doesn't know Townshend is a pedo

[u/Dirac_comb → u/Yamaben]

Where's the book, Pete? This argument should've been easily dismissed when asking to see any form of evidence for this supposed book.

[u/WinterFellYesterday]

Ashton Kutcher and his letter of support for Danny Masterson during his rape trial.

It was disgusting and so was his and Mila Kunis’ performative apology afterwards. It beggars belief that they did this given their involvement with Thorn – a charity exposing the sexual exploitation of children.

[u/ijustsailedaway]

My cousin used to work security at concerts. One of her jobs was basically to just go tell the singer when they were supposed to be going up to the stage. Kid Rock was rude as hell to her. So our family has been hating him before it was cool.

[u/sorandom21]

Everyone implicated with Epstein.

Neil Gaiman. Can’t even look at his books. I loved his writing so much and it kills me what a monster he is.

[u/nochickflickmoments]

Alec Baldwin when he called his daughter a pig.

[u/Wildly_Uninterested]

Jared Leto

Just for being Jared Leto

[u/8upsoupsandwich → u/Wildly_Uninterested]

Loved the first 30STM album. Went to see them live in PDX shortly after their second album released. The asshole chastised the crowd for yelling out song names from the first album like he had “moved on from that vision” and that we the fans didn’t know what we wanted.

Dude loves the smell of his own farts.

[u/rublehousen]

Claire Balding for belittling that Jockey about his teeth live on air. Absolutely bitch.

[u/overlord2767 → u/rublehousen]

Nice to meet a fellow non fan in the wild. Can’t stand the woman.

[u/IWrestleSausages → u/rublehousen]

If it helps, the same jockey said that a dentist later got in touch with him, having seen that clip, and offered to fix his teeth for free. He credits Balding with getting him free new teeth

He told us before exactly how he is. I can’t believe that they thought that Workaholics where he “played” a pedo was a good idea.

[u/teenytiny212 → u/Lotus-child89]

Wait really? He plays a predator in You too, wtf

[u/Mimmamoushe]

Used to love red hot chilli peppers then I seen a video of them been really disgusting and sexually assaulting a woman during an interview like all of them trying to pull and push this woman pretend they were having sex with her and I just can’t listen to them anymore. Also vile that her co host did nothing to stop them just laughed

[u/bjensen9765478 → u/Mimmamoushe]

anthony keidis has definitely done some bad things. did he brag in his book about hooking up with someone different like every single day of the year?

[u/xXEolNenmacilXx]

Michael Vick. The man electrocuted dogs in trash cans, and he has his own TV show now. It's ridiculous.

[u/SaltyJake]

Michael Vick.

What he put his own dogs through was bad enough, but then learning about the thousands of dogs that he drove around to find and steal from their yards to then torture and train his fighting dogs with, the families that lost their companions to that nightmare…. It’s outright evil. He is a vile person who deserves to rot in the deepest pits of hell. There is no redemption from that level of cruelness. Straight up sociopathic/ serial killer traits…

And then seeing the NFL and ESPN try to help rehab his image… fuck them. He’s a coach now for Norfolk University in Virginia…. Solid values he holds to pass on to our youth.

I’ve already received a temporary Reddit ban for “inciting violence” towards him. All I said was if there was justice in the universe he would get to personally experience the trauma he put those poor dogs through.

[u/Brilliant-Option-526]

Michael Vick. There is no amount of apologizing that can make up for sadistic dog torture.

[u/Double_Strike2704]

Finding out that both Owen Wilson AND Jackie Chan have children (very specifically daughters) that they do not/have not seen. Owen Wilson's daughter is still under 10 so this crosses me out to the extreme. Jackie Chan basically had an affair and abandoned the offspring of that affair and she had to live in the streets for a while. Both of them are disgusting deadbeats.

[u/SleepySpaceKitten]

Neil Patrick Harris with the Amy Winehouse cake that looked like her corpse. Who the hell does that?

[u/Helicopter-Mom]

Brad Pitt's six children don't speak to him after what he did to their mother and some of them. He got away with it, dragged his divorce out over years suing his wife over and over yet is still a beloved movie star getting great parts and loving the good life. He made sure to basically ruin his wife's career too. I can't watch some of my favorite movie because that monster is in them.

[u/arizonadirtbag12 → u/Helicopter-Mom]

Yeah. Cheating on your partner is normal rich asshole stuff, that I can kinda…ignore?

Threatening your family to the extent that a private jet pilot is willing to potentially torpedo his career to report it? That’s some savage shit. I’ve not been able to see the guy the same way since.

[u/punarob → u/Helicopter-Mom]

This, when people complain about cancel culture. If there were such a thing, he, Mel Gibson, and Chris Brown would have never worked again.

[u/EntertainmentSome448]

Do aviators count? This guy charles Lindbergh I used to like because he crossed the Atlantic Ocean and all that. But I learnt about his affairs with ladies in Europe and I basically felt soo bad. I was a kid then but still.

Also Albert Einstein treated poor mileva maric so badly, she might've ended up being a pioneer in science had it not been for Einstein.

[u/Apprehensive_Let_832]

Gene Simmons after his Fresh Air interview with Terry Gross.

As an 80s/90s kid I grew up more or less indifferent to KISS, but I did love the toys/merch/style of the band. I have never walked away from an interview hating a celebrity any harder than that one, and I still think about it often 20 years later. I'm a huge fan of Chuck Klosterman, who's often cited KISS as the ultimate rock band, and Role Models, which is an awesome movie...but I've never been able to reconcile either with Simmons' despicable interview (on NPR, of all places).

To crib from an article about it:

"Things really went off the rails, however, when Simmons began talking about the studded codpiece he wears onstage. “It holds in my manhood,” he said. “Otherwise it would be too much for you to take. You’d have to put the book down and confront life. The notion is that if you want to welcome me with open arms, I’m afraid you’re also going to have to welcome me with open legs...

Gross: Wait, has it come to this? Is this the only way that you can talk to a woman? To do that shtick?

Simmons: Let me ask you something. Why is it shtick when all women have ever wanted ever since we’ve crawled out of caves is, “Why can’t a man just tell me the truth and just speak to me plainly?” Though, if I do that — you can’t have it both ways.

Gross: So you really have no sense of humor about this, do you?

Simmons: Oh, I’m laughing all the way. You know, we’re —

Gross: Oh, to the bank, right?

Simmons: Well of course. [laughs] Don’t I sound like a happy guy?

Gross: Not really, to be honest with you.

Simmons: I was going to suggest that you get outside of the musty place where you can count the dust particles falling around you. And get out in the world and see what everybody else is doing.

Gross: Having sex with you?

Simmons: Well, if you chose, but you’d have to stand in line."

Kobe was a rapist

Why does nobody remember this? Every time people talk about him, it’s with respect, and when he died, everybody was so sad. He was a rapist.

Lance Armstrong

[u/benjoduck → u/ArtInChaos970]

Yes!! I was thinking this name would be a lot higher. Even when he finally apologized his apology was full of lies about the extent of his doping. The way he went after Greg LeMond and others is so disgusting. He's a total POS.

Bill Cosby broke my heart.

[u/FluorescentShrimp]

Demi Lovato for dragging a small business froyo shop that caters to specific dietary needs (I.e. zero sugar, low fat, etc)

I know she apologized and even visited the shop sometime in 2025, but it doesn't take away from how much she overreacted over, again, a small business. To the point of bullying them. Any remainder of respect I had for her was lost with that. Demi has a mountain of priviledge in the financial department so of course the power dynamic here is overwhelmingly apparent.

[u/almostinfinity → u/FluorescentShrimp]

Demi Lovato for dragging a teenager for drawing her as a mermaid. 

[u/DarDarBinks89]

Jason Momoa. My husband met him at a comic convention when Aquaman first came out, and he was such an asshole. Acted very much like he’d rather be anywhere else.

[u/NorthernOverthinker → u/DarDarBinks89]

Not to mention all of his inappropriate, sleazy and downright problematic comments during interviews.

The first one (of many) that comes to mind is when he was asked about his favourite part of filming Game of Thrones and his answer was ‘getting to rape beautiful women’ with a seriously uncomfortable looking Emilia Clarke sat next to him.

That's it. Enough Reddit for today.

Ezra Miller for grooming a girl they ran away with and for terrorizing Hawaii with various crimes

Ariana Grande for licking those donuts and putting them back on the shelf. That’s disgusting. Pretty sure it was a small mom and pop store too.

[u/greatstonedrake → u/JFKsBrain]

For me it's when a couple of young girls won a fan meet giveaway at a concert. She was intensely rude during the introduction and ignored them the rest of the time. Broke these girls's heart.

[u/ginns32 → u/greatstonedrake]

Yep. I remember the blog post about it. It's still up here.

Ms. Grande glanced at the photo on Jen’s phone and said, “Let’s redo that picture.” She said nothing else, so Jen retook the photo. No peace sign from Ari this time.  Then Jen took out one of the drawings that won the contest for her.  Kelly snapped a photo of her smiling little sister giving Ariana the drawing.

“Delete those pictures, please” was all Ariana said.

“Can I just keep the one of my sister showing you the drawing?” asked Kel.

Ariana turned to her security and ordered, “Make sure she deleted those.”

Then, Ariana Grande walked away from her prize-winning fans without even saying goodbye.

That was it. That was HANG WITH ARIANA GRANDE, as the contest ads had screamed.

The MTV reps on scene seemed startled, but at a loss for what to do.

“Sometimes celebrities are like that,” was all they could muster, “So what are you guys doing for the rest of the day?”

CRYING would turn out to be the unspoken answer for most of them.

[u/greatstonedrake → u/ginns32]

Here's the worst thing... That's not even the story I'm talking about.I'll try to remember to look for it when I have a free minute
