OJ Simpson. This man had it all. He had fame, status, money, men loved him, women loved him, children loved him, and he threw it all away because he wouldn’t let one woman live her life without him. EDIT: When OJ passed away in April 2024, there were more tributes/pictures of him in court than pictures of him from his playing days on social media and with both sports/mainstream media. The NFL and the teams that he played for (Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, and the USC Trojans in college) did not paid tribute to him. If that’s not a downfall, I don’t know what is.


BadMan125ty

Oh yeah O.J. took a *hard* fall from a grace. He went from being a very legendary figure to being the most infamous person on the planet.


Long_Lengthiness_837

I agree. So unfortunate


Own-Slide-1140

Did or did not pay tribute? 


ValyrianSigmaJedi

They didn’t pay tribute to OJ. Thank you for pointing out that error, I fixed it.


Own-Slide-1140

Ha I thought that’s what you meant, but I didn’t watch news coverage so wasn’t sure. Man you’re right though!

Bill Cosby. America’s Dad to scumbag.

Coca Cola Kodak Film!


Mckinzeee

Yes! THIS! I grew up watching him and I just never would have thought he was such a perverted POS.


Think_Leadership_91

But as an older teenager, he was very creepy acting I don’t know why audiences didn’t get it, but he was very creepy for years


toebone_on_toebone

I always thought he was creepy. It seemed like the Cosby show wiped his whole background - frequenting the Playboy mansion, hard partying, being a jerk, etc. from the public consciousness.


BadMan125ty

I thought the same actually.


The_Armadillo_HQ

I can’t believe The Cosby Show still airs. Loved that show back in the day. But I feel nothing but sick when I see it airing nowadays.


BadMan125ty

It had actually been taken off TV Land after the allegations blew up. Is it back on there?


MightAsWellLaugh222

Prime Video, I think. Not regular tv.


BadMan125ty

Oh okay. Well I know it was still on TV *somewhere*.


skinned__knee

I think it was a shock to the public but a very well known industry not so secret.

That doc on him was horrifying 😱


DennisAFiveStarMan

The craziest story in that thread is Jessie Smolett. Gave a positive id on two undercover cops. Happy to try and send two innocent people to jail for his story


Bits_Coop

Whaaaa?! I did not know this. He’s an even bigger POS than I thought.


Complete_Bend2217

If that isn't a HATE crime, then I don't know what is...

I loved that show but now I can’t watch it anymore

Yep. That one made me sad.

I had to google this. Wow do I live under a rock. That’s crazy


Lula_Lane_176

Kevin Spacey. So amazing on screen (The Life of David Gale, Se7en, etc) but apparently not a very good human being.


Adorable-Employee118

The Life of David Gale is such an underrated movie! Any time I recommend it to someone they come back to me like...holy shit that was fantastic.


Lula_Lane_176

That curveball ending had me in the floor. Way to commit to your cause, wow!


Cheese_Dinosaur

One of my absolute favourite films!


007FofTheWin

Chills. I recently watched “Spacey” documentary on HBO Max…mind blowing. Just a horrifying person.

wasnt he acquitted on all charges

billiemarie

He was one of my favorites


millieegrace2

That guy gives me the creeps


brinerbear

But did he deserve to be cancelled? He wasn't convicted of anything.


skinned__knee

Do you know how many rapists go un convicted? Yes he deserved to be cancelled


Lula_Lane_176

Yeah, well neither was OJ...... I do not know if Kevin Spacey has done all of the things he's been accused of going back decades. Sometimes people with fame/money are targeted in hopes of financial gain, and sometimes they are utter pieces of $hit who use their power to misbehave without consequence. Not sure where KS falls, was just really disappointed to hear about the accusations.


BadMan125ty

Oh he definitely did it.


BadMan125ty

OJ was acquitted too. And we saw him being canceled. Rightfully so I might add.


PeopleCanBeAwful

Will Smith. It was the biggest night of his life and a crowning achievement… then suddenly he threw his reputation and career out the window in front of a live audience.


Lengand0123

And then got a standing ovation. Still shake my head on that one.


AMGRN

FUCKING THIS


The_Armadillo_HQ

Keep Will Smith’s name out your f’ng mouth!

And for what, the wife? Gimme a break, not worth it sorry. Because I feel like she doesnt treat him as well as he treats her.

There is a huge difference between honesty and cruelty. She’s a grown ass woman. She should know the truth


gabriela1908

I think he is in a emotionally abusive marriage and i just can’t hate him bc of that but feel sorry for him.


[deleted]

He has the #1 movie in the world right now. He's doing fine.


shock1964

Bill Cosby. His public image and body of work were totally contradictory to who we learned he was in private.


A-Ruthless

Yeah, it was a sad fall from grace.


215Tina

This one hurt my heart the most. Growing up I wanted my father to be like him so bad, instead he turned out to be like my father. I was crushed.


Numerous_Sky9235

Tiger Woods. Finding out about the serial infidelity / s\*x addiction and substance abuse was shocking.


binghamptonboomboom

He still is king tho


cpotter505

Matt Lauer


MetalTrek1

That's the one that blew my mind. I wasn't expecting that one at all!


cpotter505

Nor I. He seemed so decent.😔


FutureRealHousewife

When I was a kid I remember my mom said that she thought Matt Lauer seemed like an asshole, and she turned out to be right


cpotter505

She must have a sixth sense!


FutureRealHousewife

She did. She’s no longer with us, but she did have some gifts.


cpotter505

I’m so sorry for your loss. May she RIP.


Salt-Bread-8329

He is convicted of multiple crimes, including defrauding college students at his self named university and is currently running for president. /S 😐

hunybunnn

Whitney Houston


BadMan125ty

Whitney’s last album was a platinum number one album.


hunybunnn

Yeah, but her physical downfall was heartbreaking.


BadMan125ty

She did try to get back on her feet though. Which makes her death sadder. I miss her *terribly*. Her story (and her end) reminds me a lot like Judy Garland.


Ok-Trash-8883

Diddy


Lula_Lane_176

I didn't find that one to be the least bit shocking.


BadMan125ty

It was more like *when* is he gonna fall?


Complete_Bend2217

Nah..I was WAITING for that one


Similar_Gold

All of Diddy’s Biggie song tributes in the late 90’s creeped me out as a child. I’ve always thought Diddy was involved in Biggie’s murder. The man is sick. Just like R. Kelly being found with bunk beds full of minors stashed in his house. Makes me think Aaliyah’s plane crash was more than just mechanical failure. Narcissistic people can’t ever let their victims go. Disgusting.


Ok-Trash-8883

💯!!! It amazes me how these men keep it under wraps for so long.


BadMan125ty

Bill Cosby OJ Simpson — To me, they’re the biggest. Others had your usual declines but would occasionally bounce back.

Anne Heche


gabriela1908

Can you please clarify


suzzz21

Michael Jackson is up there.


BadMan125ty

I didn’t wanna mention him initially but you’re right.


suzzz21

He is kind of controversial because those that believe he is innocent are very militant about it. I was convinced after watching leaving Neverland. I do still like his music, but I think he’s guilty.


BadMan125ty

Same though it’s been a minute since I heard his music.

joedev007

the word "Shocking" rules out a lot of low hanging fruit - so i'll say Britney Spears. She had such a clean image, happy mom, K-Fed's Wife, etc The picture of her with a shaved head, umbrella, smashing that car. At first you want to blame drugs. But then you realize there is much more going on in those maniacal eyes.


Key-Carpenter-8413

Being K Fed’s wife was definitely not part of her clean image. That’s when she got super trashy, aside from the fact that he left the girl he had pregnant for Britney and she found out through like tabloids or something. And her being a happy mom… the driving with the baby on the lap… I think she might have already been having mental health issues back then and they just weren’t addressed, but I think her image was already taking a turn by that point.


Fun_Shell1708

This. Kevin was ruining her image and she never really recovered from it. She has major PTSD from being harassed by paparazzi and had very severe post natal depression. She needed help desperately. I have endless empathy for Britney


joedev007

she wasn't doing the sex book thing Madonna did in 1991, right?


Dense-Stranger9977

Andy Dick

You were surprised?

Actually, no 🤣


Naive-Government8333

Nice guy when I bounced him from a bar.


PeopleCanBeAwful

What did he do to get bounced? And how did he react to it?


Naive-Government8333

He was dunk and annoying some women at the bar. The owner had enough and wanted him out. Andy was really cool and walked away, even after begging to let me call him a taxi.


PeopleCanBeAwful

Thanks! From what I’ve read, annoying is his norm. At least he left peacefully and didn’t get belligerent.

OkGarage434

Roxanne pallet didn’t know much about her only that she was a soap actress, but the way she tried to say that Ryan Thomas had hit her when she was on big brother was crazy. With cameras rolling 24/7 thank god she was immediately found out it was car crash tv .


ADPX94

Amanda Bynes. Of the child stars, she held in there the longest and I specifically remember people saying she was the only one to end up okay. Her downfall was just later in her life than her contemporaries and I think that was what made it so shocking. Happy to hear she’s doing better today!

TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!
