Unbelievable Scandals: 50 Celebrities You Thought Were Innocent but Secretly Terrible People
Gandhi was a woman beater and made teenage girls sleep in his bed to “help him learn to resist temptation” or some s**t like that.
Still alive but the director Roman Polanski was convicted of r**e and/or s****y of a 13 year old drugged up girl. He fled before sentencing and has been treated as a genius since. He’s even won several awards. Several female actresses who were part of the “me too” movement were called out (barely) for signing a petition to have his conviction overturned so he ‘could come back to America. Shouldn’t be alive.
Walt Disney. Built a global empire but also had a history of racism, sexism, and antisemitism that people conveniently forget the moment they walk into Disneyland.
Steve Jobs
He had a daughter with his h**h school girlfriend. Repeatedly denied paternity despite DNA tests showing otherwise. Claimed that he was sterile which was a lie. That girl lived in poverty while he went on to become incredibly wealthy. He later finally allowed her into his life and (according to her) was a*****e and distant and she said that he frequently would be manipulative and insult her appearance or hygeine
He was also really temperamental towards his employees. Publicly humiliated staff. Close friends even called him self-centered and difficult to work with.
Apple worked with Foxconn, which was a Chinese manufacturing partner that is accused of Harsh Working Conditions, Long Hours, Poor Wages etc. That obviously isn’t something unique to Apple. But Jobs was dismissive of these concerns
Apple was also part of a wage-fixing scandal. Conspiring with other Silicon Valley Companies to not poach employees which suppressed salaries across the industry.
He really wasn’t a good dude. Apple in general is not a good company. Yet there is very little negative press towards him or the company. A lot more praise than criticism.
John Wayne. Way after civil rights movement win, he advocated back the other way and was a massive racist. He wanted full Jim Crow stuff back in force.
Now people only ever remember him fondly for his bang average cowboy films.
Marlon Brando
Was an a*s on set and people hated working with him. And SA’d the actress on the set of The Last Tango In Paris by using butter which he had discussed with the director on the day of shooting and did not inform Maria Schneider before to discuss it with her. He also suggested to “write his lines on Maria’s rear end” instead of memorizing his lines but it was rejected.
Surprised nobody said Hitchcock. Guy was a total a*****e perv. Genius who made absolutely terrific films and expanded the very vocabulary of visual storytelling, but what a twisto.
Abuse of performers, especially women, used to be expected from directors in pursuit of incredible performances (which frequently worked).
Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old cousin and almost everyone remembers him for that other than his music.
When he died, fellow musicians were full of nothing but praise for him and conveniently overlooked this as well as his other misdemeanours.
Bing Crosby, known – along with his wife – for terribly abusing his children.
I had a friend whose parents worked as contract background players on the sets, lots and scenes of movies during Hollywood’s “Golden Age” when she was a little girl. Every once in a while, they would take her with them and she would be in awe of the various stars she saw, including the ones in the films in which her parents worked and appeared. One of them was one of the “Road” pictures with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Even though her parents usually did not bother those in the main cast, they gave in to their daughter – again, just a little girl, maybe seven, eight or nine years old – who pleaded to meet Hope and Crosby. They took her to Bob Hope first and introduced her. He pulled her onto his lap and immediately treated her as if she was the most important little girl in the world, asking all the usual questions one would of a little girl: what’s your favorite school subject?, etc. When he was finished, they – and she later remembered, *very* reluctantly – took her over to Bing Crosby. With their voices shaking, they asked him if their daughter could meet him. He looked at them, looked down at her, and back at them, and then asked with an expression as cold as ice: “Do I have to touch her?”.
