49 Celebrities Who Sabotaged Their Own Fame in Shocking Ways
Katherine Heigl is famous for being a massive b***h who no one wants to work with. I think she managed to p**s off everyone in Grey’s Anatomy so they wrote her character off. Same with the entire cast of Knocked Up. She went from being huge in 2007-08 to being a ghost now.
Mel Gibson famously torpedoed his career in 2004-2006 with multiple anti-semitic and racist outbursts and such. He went from being a massive f*****g star in the 90s to being persona non grata for like…10 plus years. He’s still not back to where he was now.
Lauren Hill has famously destroyed her career since the early 2000s…after the Fugees made it big she went solo with one of the biggest debut albums ever and then frequent diva behavior has made her the ultimate has been.
Chevy Chase. The man has had endless opportunities, on both movies and TV, and yet he is consistently regarded by his peers as an unrelenting a*****e.
SNL cast hates working with and around him (Jon Lovitz, Will Ferrell, etc.), the kids from Community (well, adult actors and actresses who played college kids on the show) have come out and said he was the hardest on-set to work with. I just don’t see how someone can have so many opportunities to be at least halfway decent, and always managed to find a way to be the biggest a*****e in whatever room he was in.
DMX
For those too young to remember he was huge in the 90s and early 2000s with multiple top albums and songs on the billboard rap charts.
He had trouble with the law (g*ns, d***s, animal cruelty) his whole life.
In 2004 though, he had multi-platinum success and was still relevant and touring regularly. He was supposed to catch a flight from JFK to a concert where he was performing. He never made it to the plane. Instead, he got super high on cr*ck, pulled a random guy out of his car in the parking lot, claimed to be a federal agent, and stole the guys car. He left behind his own (far more expensive) vehicle.
Jerry Lee Lewis, arguably one of the founders of rock and roll, managed to completely destroy his career just by getting married.
Oh btw he married his first cousin (once removed). She was 13, he was 22. It was his third marriage, of an eventual seven. This one lasted 13 years until she filled for divorce citing that she had been “subject to every type of physical and mental a***e imaginable.”
Kyle Larson was having a great year in NASCAR, and continuing that through their recent virtual racing bit because of the virus, but then he dropped a hard R on a live mic during a stream, and after being released from his contract, he’s effectively done racing NASCAR now.
It may have already been said in here but Macaulay Culkin (home alone). and honestly I think its a good story. he was just tired of being a child star and wanted a normal life. while some people make fun of how he looks now he’s just living life and having fun. he has a band called Pizza Underground where they sing about pizza and tell jokes. I just think its good to see some of the celebrities that tanked but for good reasons.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the Dixie Chicks getting themselves basically blacklisted from country music after criticizing Bush.
Orlando Brown turned c**ckhead former Disney star.
Amanda Bynes. She had an early success in her acting career and retired at age 24 because she had a downward spiral. Entirely fell off the entertainment industry.
Amber Heard for being a a*****e spouse and lying by making Johnny Depp look like the a****r in this relationship. I dont understand how someone so evil and hypocrite can sleep at night.
Sinead O’Conner ripped up a photo of the Pope on Saturday Night Live.
Completely ruined her career, but in all honesty, she probably would have k****d her career in another way if it never happened as she’s had several controversial moments in her lifetime.
She still makes music and is incredibly talented.
But unfortunately her career has never been the same as a result of her controversial views/actions. I say unfortunately by meaning the world misses out on the music produced by incredibly talented and passionate musicians. Some of the things she’s said is pretty messed up though.
Mo’nique. She refused to participate in “campaigning” for an Oscar after she was nominated for her role in *Precious*. It started a feud of sorts with the director, Lee Daniels, which led to her being blackballed, or so she claims. She hasn’t really worked again since winning an Oscar, which is pretty odd.
Can’t believe no one has said Azealia Banks yet. 212 was like, audacious, groundbreaking s**t. Sadly she is known for her numerous twitter spats rather than her music.
I personally feel like she might have EUPD which went untreated. Combine that with growing up in the spotlight and having an online platform to be very reactive on, and… arguments ensued. But like, could 212 have been written by a medicated Banks? I don’t know. It’s a very unique, ballsy song.
