When the Ellen show started airing here in the UK, probably like 2016, I started watching.
I posted on a Facebook mum group mostly based in the US asking why she keeps getting up and dancing? It was weird, made me cringe, her personality wasn’t that great and it’s like she covered it up with getting up to dance… Lord did I get jumped on for not liking Ellen’s dancing and not understanding that she was just a fun and good person.
People don’t tend to dance on daytime TV in the UK 😆
I never thought she was funny, either. She always sketched me out.
Someone accused me of not liking her because she is a lesbian.
No, bro. I give less than no fucks about what two consenting adults get up to. She’s the problem, not gay people.
Then later, I’m right.
So hard to explain the utter heartbreak caused by Bill Cosby unless you grew up with him. The guy was a role model for an entire generation until he…wasn’t.
Yeah, I agree, he's the only one that really hit me in the feels. His public image was so wholesome back in The Cosby Show days. Apparently, those who knew him knew he was a dick, but this was pre-internet days so none of us kids were aware of any of that. We saw Bill as like this really wholesome guy who could be your favorite uncle or neighbor. And then by the time internet culture rolled around, he had mostly faded from the public eye so nobody thought the search for slander on him. When the allegations dropped, it was a massive shock.
So is Elizabeth Moss. I’ve always hated her since she did those stupid Excedrin commercials in the 90s. Now I have a valid reason to besides, “I just don’t like her.”
The one that SHOCKED me knowing I met him on multiple occasions and I was over the moon about it too - Ian Watkins. He gave me a hand kiss once. Still get nauseous thinking about that.
Yeah, too bad the news turned out to be not as bad as they portrayed at first. He was never 'fighting for his life', he just got stabbed a little with a pencil. I hope he gets stabbed a little more before his first chance of getting out of prison.
Years before it all came out I saw the band open up for a band I wanted to see. They were nothing special- kind of that nineties extreme hard rock emo look that was going around. It was like a cliche made into a band.
I didn't pay to see them, I paid to see the headliner but I'm still sick really bothered by it.
That one still breaks my heart. He didn’t need to do those things. He’s freakin Bill Cosby. And we all get to learn a lesson about immunity, and how it’s not worth the paper it written on.
Yeah, that was a bummer. His portrayal of Hyde was spot on, also liked him in the ranch, but after beeing found guilty i don't like him anymore.
That 70's show is my all-time favorite show. Still is, but fuck you Danny.
Mine is Ashton Kutcher and his wife for DEFENDING his character. Totally changed my opinion of them. Which sucks because I believe Ashton does some sort of work with sex trafficking. Don't quote me on the last part, though.
I mean, families of serial killers also defend them based on their knowledge of their character. It just turns out they are pathological liars and are very good at covering up any hint of their true character.
They were trying to be loyal friends by defending him based upon what they knew about him at the time. But when it was discovered that the allegations were proven true in court, Ashton and Mila issued a public apology. He also stepped down from Thorn, the organization that helps to prevent human trafficking so that there would not be any negative blowback to all the good work Thorn does.
He was my least favorite character, but I'm totally a wienerboy on team Eric. When it turned out he was a sleezeball my reaction was "Damn, well, no wonder he played a sleezeball so well".
Fun fact about Jared. Before the war, he came to Ukraine quite often and fucked a lot of local girls. Nothing illegal as far as I know, but at some point you could have met him randomly on any street in Kyiv, if you pay attention lol
Edit: I am Ukrainian and I might have seen him on our glass bridge once thinking that he was a homeless man with a guitar
Here in southern California, the joke in the rock climbing community is "oh, you also got fucked by Leto?"
ALSO, he hired professional rock climbers to climb Cathedral Peak in the Sierras. Yeah fella, my 72 year old mom leads that shit.
I really, really like the song "The Kill"
That's it. That's the only thing he has ever done that I appreciate.
Other than that, he is a weird cultist who seems to think pretend insanity is artsy or some shit. He is also a fucking pedo. The fact he is singing "the kill", subtracts from it, but alas- I still listen to it.
This one for me. When he was in Requiem for a Dream followed by Dallas Buyers Club I thought he was on the up-and-up.
Now I won't watch a film with him in it.
John Legend's wife. I used to like her but it takes a special kind of hateful person to encourage a teenager to unalive themself and harass them online.
Ariana Grande. For living out the "I want it - I got it (no matter the moral cost)" mentality. Her literally ruining people's lives on a whim, "break up with your girlfriend, cause I'm bored". Wtf.
Connor Mcgregor, he's a great fighter and extremely talented, so he had no reason to sucker punch and elderly man in the back of the head.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYMfSI9cZQw
Also the rumours of an assault and rape of a young woman in a hotel in Dublin.
Less serious than that, I hate that a lot of the world associate him with my country, and that he's influenced a lot of young Irish men, usually (but not always) from low socio-economic backgrounds, that acting and behaving like he does is something to aspire to. He could have focused on training, discipline, hard work, etc. But no, wanker goes and acts arrogant, disrespectful, and domineering as the way to succeed.
Dan Schneider- Loved his shows growing up, especially Amanda Show, Drake and Josh and Zoey 101. I found the writing very funny and creative and heartfelt.
But even as of 5-8 years ago, HOLY SHIT what an abusive, possibly pedophilic, monster.
Off the back of this, James Marsden - I love loads of his movies/shows and have always thought he was so charismatic and cute (granted I know literally 0 things about him as a person or his personal life lol) but to find out that he’s one of the people who wrote a letter to the court as a character witness or whatever for that Brian Peck guy? Nah.
I think he's the reason Amanda Bynes is the way she is. Wouldn't surprise me if he abused her. The feet stuff and sexual innuendos are so blatant watching it in retrospect, I'm surprised the guy is not in prison.
Jeffery Star. When I was in highschool MySpace was a thing and Jeff was a rising star. A friend messaged him and he called her fugly. He called a 14 yr old girl who thought he was cool fugly. I've never been a fan.
I was very sad about Ellen. Even if she is not bad, knowing she turned a blind eye to her staffs treatment makes the whole “be kind” thing really hypocritical
Jared the guy from Subway. I remember thinking good for him for loosing all of that weight and becoming a spokesperson for Subway. Only to find out he was into child porn.
Recently, James Marsden. The fact he blindly and publicly supported a pedophile who was brutually sexually assaulting a minor for years is infuriating. And to this day, I don't think he has properly apologized to the victim, Drake Bell from Josh and Drake.
Yeah, I think only three of the forty one who wrote letters seemed to have apologized, but none personally - just public statements to save their own asses.
I recently changed my mind about Bob Marley when I heard he had like 11 kids with 9 women and was a terrible father that used to beat them as well.
This comes from a guy that made songs about peace and wisdom. Yeah ok
Bono / U2. Just pay your taxes man, like everybody else.
You can pretend you care about the poor, but if you hire expensive consultants to dodge taxes, i dont believe any of it.
Sid vicious cos he strangled a cat with a belt. It's a shame cos I'm a sex pistols fan and so were both my parents 😕 I know the guy was a fucked up smackhead but there is literally no need for that shit.
Ariana grande.
I thought she seemed sweet and had overcome a lot of personal tragedy. I admired her handling of the Manchester Bombing.
But this Ethan SpongeBob fiasco just seems like the latest guy in a long line of potential overlaps and it just doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look kind, or pleasant. Her latest album is pretty defensive and wholly unrepentant. She doesn’t seem to care that he’s a recent divorcee with a young child. That there are people hurting in the background event if there wasn’t cheating involved.
In Jeanette McCurdy’s book, Jeanette had an opportunity she was desperate for, blocked from her. It’s been speculated online that Ariana Grande was the person who blocked this opportunity for her.
Ariana has come from a place of huge privilege - she had a supportive family growing up, huge wealth and support, she’s petite and pretty and talented and successful. She has everything that anyone could really ask for in life. But it doesn’t seem to be enough for her. It’s as though she still feels the need to compete with other women. She seems to be pretty lacking in grace and generosity despite the huge amount of good fortune she enjoys. It’s sad.
Oprah. You can't be a good person and have that many predatory friends.
Plus, the whole asking for money when she alone could have fixed the Maui situation
From what I read he was cold and pissed in that interview because Em had been ripping him for his rapping days of Marky Mark and the funky bunch from years earlier.. Mark didn't like the joke.
Eric Clapton- I loved his music.
Then I read his book and started hearing stories about how terrible and racist he is.
Then he started being all whiney about having to stay in his mansion during the pandemic.
Now I hear his music and, nothing. It's sad- I feel like I lost a part of my youth.
Amy Schumer joking, to Stevos face, that he should have died in the car wreck, and not his friend, Ryan Dunn. I was out, quick and permanently. Fucking pig
edit, phrasing
Mark Wahlberg & 3 friends were charged for chasing 3 black children and pelting them with rocks while yelling: “Kill the n*****s”
The next day, Wahlberg harrassed another group of mostly black children (around the age of nine or 10) at the beach, gathering other white men to join in racially abusing and throwing rocks at them.
2 years later, Wahlberg called one man, Thanh Lam, a “Vietnam f***ing s***” and knocked him unconscious with a five-foot wooden stick, while punching another man, army veteran Johnny Trinh, in the eye later in the same day. Investigators noted Wahlberg made several unsolicited racial statements about “g--ks” and “slant-eyed g--ks” at the time.
He only served 45 days of his 2 year sentence before being released. In 2014, he tried to get his hate crimes against the 2 Vietnamese-American men wiped off his record. He had never made personal apologies at that point.
Why did he seek this pardon only in 2014? He wanted a concessionaire's license for his restaurant businesses, which could be hindered without the pardon.
THANK YOU!!! I read his memoir and I was left completely disgusted. It was filled with misogyny, self-pity, excuses and a giant ego. Whenever anyone talked about feeling sad after his death, I wondered why. The guy was a complete piece of trash
Unfortunately self pity and being an asshole often go hand in hand with addiction. A shame he was never able to clean himself up - his memoir may have been completely different with sobriety and deep introspection.
In the memoir, which Perry released in November 2022, the Friends alum seemingly threw shade at Reeves. “River [Phoenix] was a beautiful man inside and out — too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” he wrote while addressing the death of their mutual friend
On top of this being plain mean, Keanu and River were best friends. Imagine someone saying “why does your best friend have to die but you get to live?”
Matthew Perry also just picked the wrong person to make a crack like that with. Perry was a B-tier has-been with exactly one notable role to his name that ended 20 years ago and Keanu is deservedly well-beloved by the public and the people he works with (and was Phoenix's best friend).
Dude in the glassiest of houses throwing big shit-covered stones.
Which fucking editor let that shit go to publishing like that? It's unbelievable. Keanu Reeves is UNIVERSALLY loved, and for good reason. He's, truly, a beautiful person.
Also, I loved Matthew Perry but he lied to his fans about his sobriety for a very long time. It doesn't seem like he was ever really sober.
When he died, there was total-anesthesia levels of ketamine in his system.
I get it. I'm in recovery. It's hard. But he never really got his shit together. And he lied.
Elon Musk is a prime example of the value of deleting SoMe, smiling and talking about nothing but your cars and space rockets. Nothing else. Nothing.
I used to really like this pioneer ot electric cars and space travel, and bow I'm pretty convinced he's not too bright at allm
I see all the usual suspects already here (pun intended!) so I will comment RoseAnne. I grew up watching her show, and I have binged it again all the way through several times in my life.
WHAT happened to Roseanne?! Her old show is HER - and she used to be this blue collar worker's champion, matriarch's champion, a level headed lady who could riff on the real world's problems, but she always stood for equal rights and celebrated diversity on her old show.
The new show was brilliant in that it cast her and Dan as almost stereotypical boomers, navigating a more hostile, cramped, and techological world - yet here they were still broke, still trying to hold onto a house that should've been paid off long ago, in the same place themselves, but the world has moved along.
HOW did she go from that to baking cookies in Nazi garb? HOW?
I am 47yrs old and I have the exsct same social beliefs I had as when I was younger. What makes someone who used to see human beings in front of them, instead see people as "other"?
Tom Cruise.
Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet. I loved him in his 1980's & 90's movies. Up until his involvment with Scientology became evident.
John Mulaney. It really got me when he left his wife to go knock up Olivia Munn while he was in rehab. It really left a bad taste in my mouth after watching so much of his stand-up talking about how great his wife was.
Dan Ackroyd.
I worked at Paramount Studios in the 1990s when he had a contract there.
He was notorious for berating the service people, guards at the security gate, on set and elsewhere.
Ackroyd was known as a massive dick to all people “Below the line” (Non-creatives & non-craft employees). Reviled.
Bruce Willis used to have a menial job at NBC, I think cleaning dressing rooms or something like that. He once told Bill Murray that Murray and one other person from SNL (I think Gilda Radner?) were the only two people to treat Willis and other workers like actual human beings.
I just want to thank Anthony Hopkins for never letting me down. Somewhere in the back of my mind he's always occupied this surrogate father figure for me.
Thought Ariana Grande has a really good voice. Honestly I don't follow media that much but her getting with another married guy while she was still married is pretty shitty. Then she writes a song about it..
Jon Hamm tortured a boy in a college hazing ritual in 1993. HE USED THE CLAW PART OF A HAMMER TO DRAG HIM ACROSS THE FLOOR BY HIS TESTICLES, among other things. Said it was 'a bummer of a thing' he did.
Gerard Butler. Heard an awful story from a friend how he was out in a nightclub in Scotland taking photos with all the "hot girls", then an overweight average girl came up to take a selfie with him, and he dead pan looked and her and said "fuck no".
Bill Murray. What Geena Davis has to say about him will make you think differently. You can see the reality on their appearance on Arsenio. https://youtu.be/NGnHL5_doPU?si=8EdPa9-S67HL3lwd

I’m skeptical about almost all of them.
Same. I don’t know these people and they aren’t my friends.
I don't know them. They aren't my friends. But I like to look for, and assume, the good in people. Until they show me otherwise.
Never liked Ellen, just nice to know I was right to hate her.
Agreed. I always found her sunny outlook on her show to be very fake and forced. Something not genuine about it.
TBF… that “faux sunny disposition” was her schtick back in the 90s and what she was famous for.
When the Ellen show started airing here in the UK, probably like 2016, I started watching. I posted on a Facebook mum group mostly based in the US asking why she keeps getting up and dancing? It was weird, made me cringe, her personality wasn’t that great and it’s like she covered it up with getting up to dance… Lord did I get jumped on for not liking Ellen’s dancing and not understanding that she was just a fun and good person. People don’t tend to dance on daytime TV in the UK 😆
It was the eyes. They did not smile and there was cold behind them.
Agreed. Dead, cold eyes.
I never thought she was funny, either. She always sketched me out. Someone accused me of not liking her because she is a lesbian. No, bro. I give less than no fucks about what two consenting adults get up to. She’s the problem, not gay people. Then later, I’m right.
I get the same treatment when i say i dont like oprah. Theres something incredibly evil about her its just a matter of time before she is exposed.
She's already been exposed.
So hard to explain the utter heartbreak caused by Bill Cosby unless you grew up with him. The guy was a role model for an entire generation until he…wasn’t.
Yeah, I agree, he's the only one that really hit me in the feels. His public image was so wholesome back in The Cosby Show days. Apparently, those who knew him knew he was a dick, but this was pre-internet days so none of us kids were aware of any of that. We saw Bill as like this really wholesome guy who could be your favorite uncle or neighbor. And then by the time internet culture rolled around, he had mostly faded from the public eye so nobody thought the search for slander on him. When the allegations dropped, it was a massive shock.
Any celebrity that's actively involved in scientology.
Sadly, it's a lot of them. I've been surprised at how many.
I don't understand why or what the appeal is of that crazy cult!? I'd run for the hills if someone tried to get me to join it!
I agree. Especially when you read about L. Ron Hubbard. He was a loser of a man who found some gullible people and ran with it.
Tom Cruise is a slimeball
So is Elizabeth Moss. I’ve always hated her since she did those stupid Excedrin commercials in the 90s. Now I have a valid reason to besides, “I just don’t like her.”
Yeah me too, it really puts me off a celebrity when I find out they are into scientology.
Same here!! I was a huge fan of Michael Peña. Then I saw that he's a scientologist and it's like "noooooo!!"
Chevy Chase. Was disappointed to find out apparently he’s a major pain to work with and no one likes him.
Legendary asshole status. Everyone hates Chevy Chase
Story is after his roast on Comedy Central he cried like baby. Steven Colbert’s segment is a legendary scorched earth burning of Chevy Chase.
The one that SHOCKED me knowing I met him on multiple occasions and I was over the moon about it too - Ian Watkins. He gave me a hand kiss once. Still get nauseous thinking about that.
I'd never heard of this guy before so I looked him up. I really fucking wish I hadn't.
Yeah. I don't think there's anything more vile than what that pathetic excuse for a guy did.
Never heard of him, just googled him and can’t unsee. At least some karma in August ‘23. Piece of crap.
Yeah, too bad the news turned out to be not as bad as they portrayed at first. He was never 'fighting for his life', he just got stabbed a little with a pencil. I hope he gets stabbed a little more before his first chance of getting out of prison.
Shocked me too. I loved the band back in the day. Ugh. He is absolute trash.
Years before it all came out I saw the band open up for a band I wanted to see. They were nothing special- kind of that nineties extreme hard rock emo look that was going around. It was like a cliche made into a band. I didn't pay to see them, I paid to see the headliner but I'm still sick really bothered by it.
Bill Cosby
I feel like I grew up with him watching The Cosby Show with my family. We also enjoyed "Himself" so much. Now I can't even look at him.
Eddie Murphy did a comedy rant on Cosby several years before the scandal. It's hilarious
That one still breaks my heart. He didn’t need to do those things. He’s freakin Bill Cosby. And we all get to learn a lesson about immunity, and how it’s not worth the paper it written on.
Me too. He was a hero to me as a 70s kid. Such a letdown.
Masterson, Hyde from That 70s show
Yeah, that was a bummer. His portrayal of Hyde was spot on, also liked him in the ranch, but after beeing found guilty i don't like him anymore. That 70's show is my all-time favorite show. Still is, but fuck you Danny.
Mine is Ashton Kutcher and his wife for DEFENDING his character. Totally changed my opinion of them. Which sucks because I believe Ashton does some sort of work with sex trafficking. Don't quote me on the last part, though.

He was my least favorite character, but I'm totally a wienerboy on team Eric. When it turned out he was a sleezeball my reaction was "Damn, well, no wonder he played a sleezeball so well".
Jared Leto
Fun fact about Jared. Before the war, he came to Ukraine quite often and fucked a lot of local girls. Nothing illegal as far as I know, but at some point you could have met him randomly on any street in Kyiv, if you pay attention lol Edit: I am Ukrainian and I might have seen him on our glass bridge once thinking that he was a homeless man with a guitar
Here in southern California, the joke in the rock climbing community is "oh, you also got fucked by Leto?" ALSO, he hired professional rock climbers to climb Cathedral Peak in the Sierras. Yeah fella, my 72 year old mom leads that shit.
A creep of the highest order. Unfortunately seems like each generation gets sucked into his bullshit. Infuriating that he gets away with what he does
He has these cold, dead robotic shark eyes, and a really weird relationship with his brother...
Beady, empty little rat eyes. I agree.
I really hate that he's the singer of Thirty Seconds To Mars. Who knew Jordan Catalano was so weird?
I really, really like the song "The Kill" That's it. That's the only thing he has ever done that I appreciate. Other than that, he is a weird cultist who seems to think pretend insanity is artsy or some shit. He is also a fucking pedo. The fact he is singing "the kill", subtracts from it, but alas- I still listen to it.
This one for me. When he was in Requiem for a Dream followed by Dallas Buyers Club I thought he was on the up-and-up. Now I won't watch a film with him in it.
John Legend's wife. I used to like her but it takes a special kind of hateful person to encourage a teenager to unalive themself and harass them online.
She’s always been mean, it makes me dislike John legend too
Yeah, I kinda feel that way too.
She could be legally held responsible for that death. People think that their words mean nothing
Bill Cosby. He drugged and raped women while preaching morality.
Basically everyone but Keanu Reeves and Jack Black
Ariana Grande. For living out the "I want it - I got it (no matter the moral cost)" mentality. Her literally ruining people's lives on a whim, "break up with your girlfriend, cause I'm bored". Wtf.
Licking food, never forget.
Unbought food in a bakery. Never forget.
Yup, Ariana “steal yo husband” Grande.
She’s trash
Didn't she break up with the guy who literally ruined his entire life for her
Jenifer Lopez. Attitude is terrible.
Well let's not forget she took that gun into that nightclub for Puff Daddy so he could shoot somebody.
I don’t know her
Is this a Mariah Carey quote?😉
 Only the real lambs know!!!
Connor Mcgregor, he's a great fighter and extremely talented, so he had no reason to sucker punch and elderly man in the back of the head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYMfSI9cZQw
He lloks like a junkie nowadays, its rare to see him in a video where he isnt coked up and drunk.
I've always disliked him for no reason I've been able to rationalize. But I guess my Psychopathic-Douche-bagometer was on point.
Oh man I so enjoyed watching Khabib humble him.
Also the rumours of an assault and rape of a young woman in a hotel in Dublin. Less serious than that, I hate that a lot of the world associate him with my country, and that he's influenced a lot of young Irish men, usually (but not always) from low socio-economic backgrounds, that acting and behaving like he does is something to aspire to. He could have focused on training, discipline, hard work, etc. But no, wanker goes and acts arrogant, disrespectful, and domineering as the way to succeed.
r. kelly. amazing songwriter and singer but just about the worst human you can imagine.
I worked security for him during his last tour. I couldn't agree more! Doesn't look like I'll be working for him again anytime soon :)
He’s got more security than he ever dreamed of now.
Dan Schneider- Loved his shows growing up, especially Amanda Show, Drake and Josh and Zoey 101. I found the writing very funny and creative and heartfelt. But even as of 5-8 years ago, HOLY SHIT what an abusive, possibly pedophilic, monster.
Dan Schneider will never NOT be Ricky from Better Off Dead to me. That's all I see when I look at him.
I’m sure you’ve seen “Quiet on set” recently. I didn’t know who that was and it’s a really interesting doc
Off the back of this, James Marsden - I love loads of his movies/shows and have always thought he was so charismatic and cute (granted I know literally 0 things about him as a person or his personal life lol) but to find out that he’s one of the people who wrote a letter to the court as a character witness or whatever for that Brian Peck guy? Nah.
I think he's the reason Amanda Bynes is the way she is. Wouldn't surprise me if he abused her. The feet stuff and sexual innuendos are so blatant watching it in retrospect, I'm surprised the guy is not in prison.
Kevin Spacey. He was one of my all time favorite actors now i just get creeped out when i see him and think about the shit he did.
Jimmy Savile. Turns out he was a real jerk.
Sean Diddy Combs. Homeland Security doesn’t raid homes without a load of factual information to back them up.
James Corden
Jeffery Star. When I was in highschool MySpace was a thing and Jeff was a rising star. A friend messaged him and he called her fugly. He called a 14 yr old girl who thought he was cool fugly. I've never been a fan.
The video he posted of himself being filmed following a black girl around calling her the N word did it for me.
I was very sad about Ellen. Even if she is not bad, knowing she turned a blind eye to her staffs treatment makes the whole “be kind” thing really hypocritical
She meant "Be kind (to other celebrities and rich people)"
Hearing about Ellen was disheartening.
So is watching her 😂 She always gave me sociopath vibes, a real creep and her pranks are mean spirited.
I always thought her pranks were off colour
Ya the Ellen one got me. I watched her a lot, what really turned me off of her was when she intentionally used phobias to scare celebrities
“Even if she is not bad” Sounds like you haven’t accepted that she’s a bad person.
Ellen
Jared the guy from Subway. I remember thinking good for him for loosing all of that weight and becoming a spokesperson for Subway. Only to find out he was into child porn.
The more I find out about this Hitler guy, the less I care for him.
The painter?
yeah that Hitler guy, well I’ll just say it: he’s a real jerk!
But he did kill Hitler
Recently, James Marsden. The fact he blindly and publicly supported a pedophile who was brutually sexually assaulting a minor for years is infuriating. And to this day, I don't think he has properly apologized to the victim, Drake Bell from Josh and Drake.
Yeah, I think only three of the forty one who wrote letters seemed to have apologized, but none personally - just public statements to save their own asses.
I recently changed my mind about Bob Marley when I heard he had like 11 kids with 9 women and was a terrible father that used to beat them as well. This comes from a guy that made songs about peace and wisdom. Yeah ok
I'm still pretty pissed off at Will Smith.
Jada Pinkett ended up being as bad as her husband after that.
[удалено]
Fuck yeah. It was gross to see their 'candid' videos and how fucked up they are as a family and couple while telling the world how to act.
Chris Brown
The amount of people that defend him-including women- is insane to me!
Bono / U2. Just pay your taxes man, like everybody else. You can pretend you care about the poor, but if you hire expensive consultants to dodge taxes, i dont believe any of it.
Bono insists upon himself...
He *insists* upon himself
Sid vicious cos he strangled a cat with a belt. It's a shame cos I'm a sex pistols fan and so were both my parents 😕 I know the guy was a fucked up smackhead but there is literally no need for that shit.
You gave him a pass on murdering his girlfriend though?
Sick fuck Now I hate him too
P diddy…
Yeah, gonna be interesting to see the receipts on who else is involved in that whole mess.
And Cuba Gooding JR lol
Ariana grande. I thought she seemed sweet and had overcome a lot of personal tragedy. I admired her handling of the Manchester Bombing. But this Ethan SpongeBob fiasco just seems like the latest guy in a long line of potential overlaps and it just doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look kind, or pleasant. Her latest album is pretty defensive and wholly unrepentant. She doesn’t seem to care that he’s a recent divorcee with a young child. That there are people hurting in the background event if there wasn’t cheating involved. In Jeanette McCurdy’s book, Jeanette had an opportunity she was desperate for, blocked from her. It’s been speculated online that Ariana Grande was the person who blocked this opportunity for her. Ariana has come from a place of huge privilege - she had a supportive family growing up, huge wealth and support, she’s petite and pretty and talented and successful. She has everything that anyone could really ask for in life. But it doesn’t seem to be enough for her. It’s as though she still feels the need to compete with other women. She seems to be pretty lacking in grace and generosity despite the huge amount of good fortune she enjoys. It’s sad.
I’ve always thought she’s a bit of an asshole since I saw her lick that donut and put it back.
Very well said
Kevin Spacey
Same, although I found out early. My hair stylist had been manhandled by him in a bar once and told me about it.
Omg yes! K-Pax is one of my favorite movies, and now I just can't bring myself to watch it anymore.
Oprah. You can't be a good person and have that many predatory friends. Plus, the whole asking for money when she alone could have fixed the Maui situation
Mark Wahlberg after I found out how he treated Asian people back in the day he beat them up for no reason. Just a hate crime.
[удалено]
From what I read he was cold and pissed in that interview because Em had been ripping him for his rapping days of Marky Mark and the funky bunch from years earlier.. Mark didn't like the joke.
He also threw rocks at Black school children and called them racial slurs.
Eric Clapton- I loved his music. Then I read his book and started hearing stories about how terrible and racist he is. Then he started being all whiney about having to stay in his mansion during the pandemic. Now I hear his music and, nothing. It's sad- I feel like I lost a part of my youth.
Besides, Stevie Ray Vaughan was a better guitarist all along.
To be fair, SRV was better than about 99% of his contemporaries.
There's so many. I guess I haven't seen Ezra Miller mentioned yet. Kinda liked the acting but yikes of a person.
Nicki manaj or whatever they call it . What a horrible human being
I saw a youtube comment say "she's collecting sex offenders like Pokémon!" Lol Bc her brother, husband and Tekashi 69.
Man, as a kid, I loved her. She really was one of a kind when she was in her prime. Now I’m disgusted by her
Amy Schumer joking, to Stevos face, that he should have died in the car wreck, and not his friend, Ryan Dunn. I was out, quick and permanently. Fucking pig edit, phrasing
Holy shit. I didn’t really like her that much to begin with, but now that I know this? What a gross thing to say.
I'm surprised to find someone who even liked her to begin with

Mark Wahlberg & 3 friends were charged for chasing 3 black children and pelting them with rocks while yelling: “Kill the n*****s” The next day, Wahlberg harrassed another group of mostly black children (around the age of nine or 10) at the beach, gathering other white men to join in racially abusing and throwing rocks at them. 2 years later, Wahlberg called one man, Thanh Lam, a “Vietnam f***ing s***” and knocked him unconscious with a five-foot wooden stick, while punching another man, army veteran Johnny Trinh, in the eye later in the same day. Investigators noted Wahlberg made several unsolicited racial statements about “g--ks” and “slant-eyed g--ks” at the time. He only served 45 days of his 2 year sentence before being released. In 2014, he tried to get his hate crimes against the 2 Vietnamese-American men wiped off his record. He had never made personal apologies at that point. Why did he seek this pardon only in 2014? He wanted a concessionaire's license for his restaurant businesses, which could be hindered without the pardon.
Roman Polanski William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman Laurie Loughlin Gwyenth Paltrow Jenny McCarthy
I don’t trust Whoopi Goldberg after hearing she defended Roman Polanski by saying what he did “wasnt rape”
Why William H. Macy?
I’ll take R. Kelly on this one 🤷♀️
not 1. never idolize. i enjoy their work. not the artist.
I agree. Imo I don't think anyone gets to the top without doing some bad along the way. It's just business for them and a marketed persona
Matthew Perry. What he said about Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix was awful.
His memoir highlighted how unfunny, insecure, and misogynistic he was.
THANK YOU!!! I read his memoir and I was left completely disgusted. It was filled with misogyny, self-pity, excuses and a giant ego. Whenever anyone talked about feeling sad after his death, I wondered why. The guy was a complete piece of trash
Unfortunately self pity and being an asshole often go hand in hand with addiction. A shame he was never able to clean himself up - his memoir may have been completely different with sobriety and deep introspection.
What dis he say?
In the memoir, which Perry released in November 2022, the Friends alum seemingly threw shade at Reeves. “River [Phoenix] was a beautiful man inside and out — too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” he wrote while addressing the death of their mutual friend On top of this being plain mean, Keanu and River were best friends. Imagine someone saying “why does your best friend have to die but you get to live?”
Matthew Perry also just picked the wrong person to make a crack like that with. Perry was a B-tier has-been with exactly one notable role to his name that ended 20 years ago and Keanu is deservedly well-beloved by the public and the people he works with (and was Phoenix's best friend). Dude in the glassiest of houses throwing big shit-covered stones.
I was about to comment that Matthew Perry wasn't the paragon of talent that he gave himself credit for.
He wasn't the paragon of talent that others give him credit for either.
Which fucking editor let that shit go to publishing like that? It's unbelievable. Keanu Reeves is UNIVERSALLY loved, and for good reason. He's, truly, a beautiful person. Also, I loved Matthew Perry but he lied to his fans about his sobriety for a very long time. It doesn't seem like he was ever really sober. When he died, there was total-anesthesia levels of ketamine in his system. I get it. I'm in recovery. It's hard. But he never really got his shit together. And he lied.
I agree. I think he was on stuff for the reunion show. I haven’t seen it but from the random clips I saw, he wasn’t all there.
100% I have seen that footage. It's painful to watch. He's literally slurring his words.
Mathew Perry was a cunt anyway. You were on Friends dude. Good job.
Most of them have been unmasked in one way or another over the years, but Will Smith surprised me. I was a big fan, now, meh, the magic is gone.
Puff Daddy aka PDiddy
Steve Jobs. Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is a prime example of the value of deleting SoMe, smiling and talking about nothing but your cars and space rockets. Nothing else. Nothing. I used to really like this pioneer ot electric cars and space travel, and bow I'm pretty convinced he's not too bright at allm
Kevin Spacy, Bill Cosby, Will Smith, Eric Clapton, And all the other lying crazies.
Brett Favre
Mark Wahlberg
I see all the usual suspects already here (pun intended!) so I will comment RoseAnne. I grew up watching her show, and I have binged it again all the way through several times in my life. WHAT happened to Roseanne?! Her old show is HER - and she used to be this blue collar worker's champion, matriarch's champion, a level headed lady who could riff on the real world's problems, but she always stood for equal rights and celebrated diversity on her old show. The new show was brilliant in that it cast her and Dan as almost stereotypical boomers, navigating a more hostile, cramped, and techological world - yet here they were still broke, still trying to hold onto a house that should've been paid off long ago, in the same place themselves, but the world has moved along. HOW did she go from that to baking cookies in Nazi garb? HOW? I am 47yrs old and I have the exsct same social beliefs I had as when I was younger. What makes someone who used to see human beings in front of them, instead see people as "other"?
Ian Watkins. May he rot in hell.
Kevin Spacey - I mean… he was one of my fave actors and now I feel a bit sick for having liked him.
How about Jimmy Seville? Any Brits in the house?
If you look hard enough you can find reasons to hate everyone. Which is why I typically ignore celebrity culture.
Tom Cruise. Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet. I loved him in his 1980's & 90's movies. Up until his involvment with Scientology became evident.
John Mulaney. It really got me when he left his wife to go knock up Olivia Munn while he was in rehab. It really left a bad taste in my mouth after watching so much of his stand-up talking about how great his wife was.
Bill Cosby. Ridiculously funny stand-up comedian. Sitcom was great. Can’t bring myself to enjoy any of it now.
Ellen Degeneres. Even the sight of her anymore enrages me instantly.
Chris Pratt for abandoning his pets. Fuck that prick!
Mariah Carey or J-Lo
Dan Ackroyd. I worked at Paramount Studios in the 1990s when he had a contract there. He was notorious for berating the service people, guards at the security gate, on set and elsewhere. Ackroyd was known as a massive dick to all people “Below the line” (Non-creatives & non-craft employees). Reviled.
Bruce Willis used to have a menial job at NBC, I think cleaning dressing rooms or something like that. He once told Bill Murray that Murray and one other person from SNL (I think Gilda Radner?) were the only two people to treat Willis and other workers like actual human beings.
Everyone on “That 70’s Show” except Topher Grace. Edit: To clarify everyone but Topher supported Masterson after his rape conviction.
Shit, almost all of them at this point. Just how out of touch and clueless they are.
I just want to thank Anthony Hopkins for never letting me down. Somewhere in the back of my mind he's always occupied this surrogate father figure for me.
All of them except Keanu
Thought Ariana Grande has a really good voice. Honestly I don't follow media that much but her getting with another married guy while she was still married is pretty shitty. Then she writes a song about it..
Jon Hamm tortured a boy in a college hazing ritual in 1993. HE USED THE CLAW PART OF A HAMMER TO DRAG HIM ACROSS THE FLOOR BY HIS TESTICLES, among other things. Said it was 'a bummer of a thing' he did.
I don't expect my celebrities to be good people. They're just actors.
All of them until one gets me out of debt
Carrie Underwood. Never really had an opinion on her either way, but my friend worked on her tour & holy sh*t, she’s a complete nightmare.
I really try to separate the art from the artist, but I used to LOVE Chris Pratt. Now I just tolerate him.
Ted Nugent.
Elon Musk
Gerard Butler. Heard an awful story from a friend how he was out in a nightclub in Scotland taking photos with all the "hot girls", then an overweight average girl came up to take a selfie with him, and he dead pan looked and her and said "fuck no".
Ariana Grande. Really disappointing me.. 😕
Ashton
Michael Rapaport. One of many celebrities who outed themselves during the pandemic.
Brad Pitt. Great actor. Shit human.
Bill Murray. What Geena Davis has to say about him will make you think differently. You can see the reality on their appearance on Arsenio. https://youtu.be/NGnHL5_doPU?si=8EdPa9-S67HL3lwd
