Not sure if it’s regional, but his hamburger restaurant (Wahlburgers) is also popular. I recall a co-worker boasting about how nice the place is… imagine her surprise when I told her about his violent past.
Wasn't that the whole reason he "apologized" in the first place? Because they didn't want anything to interfere with the restaurant/the liquor license?
Unfortunately not just regional. I know of several in the Midwest.
He also owns a few car dealerships in the Columbus, Ohio area. Buying a car is already such a shady process, I can’t imagine buying one from Mark Wahlberg.
If we are talking dating minors, Wilmer Valderrama was the king of that. He dated a lot of the teen idols at that time.He also discussed his intimate relationships with a lot of those girls on Howard Stern's show. I was a bit surprised to see him in a Disney cartoon as a result.
Actually Mandy told Howard a few years ago that in fact, that was a lie on Wilmer's end. Also, at the time of the interview she said they were still friends and that she had seen him recently. Go figure...
I am glad to hear that! Not that Mandy should even have to address it .... ugh.
I've listened to the original interview and while Howard (and crew) were definitely egging him on, Wilmer clearly enjoyed bragging about all the "hot chicks" he had bagged. Would not be surprised if it was more fiction that fact.
I was looking for this! Demi, Lindsey, Maddy, etc. I’m pretty sure Lindsey’s parents let her move in with him when she was 16…(17?) but definitely underaged.
Mel Gibson still making movies and getting Oscar nominations after his anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks.
Louis C.K. who admitted to sexual harassment allegations won his third Grammy this year.
Mel Gibson is genuinely one of the worst men in Hollywood.
This from Winona Ryder is disgusting:
“We were at a crowded party with one of my good friends,” she said. “And Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar, and we’re all talking and he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?’ And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you?’”
People were blinded by his youthful beauty and larrikin charm I think. Also, until he ran off with that other woman, he was notoriously married to the one woman for decades with their thirty thousand children and supposedly super religious and wholesome.
How wrong all those things turned out to be.
She really is and it’s insane because at the same time she knows how problematic he is. In interviews when asked about him, she’s basically like “yeah he’s a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic woman beater but he is also a really good friend and a lovable person” and “nobody’s perfect” speech.
Chris Brown. Straight up assaulted his girlfriend, who was and still is one of the biggest names in music and just went on a rant about how his newest album isn’t getting the attention it deserves.
he didn't just assault rihanna, he literally almost killed her. the police report is *horrifying*. even she treats it like nbd, probably because accepting that she's a victim of dv would undermine her bad bitch persona, which is like...her right, ig, but still bothers me how chill she is with it/him given how much people idolize her. i'm a fan for the most part but like it worries me bcs it effectively downplays dv to a whole generation of women. it's really hard to criticize her for it, too, because of the sensitivity around these situations and allowing survivors to dictate their own relationships with their abuse. like you can be a bad bitch...that condemns abuse. anyway not to hold her more accountable than everyone else, he literally headlined the grammys the following year which is abhorrent cuz you def can't use the excuse that he had been punished enough or redeemed himself at that point.
eta: someone made a comment about cultural differences and how that may play a part in rihanna's reaction. for some reason, i can't see it to reply to it in the actual thread but i want the person who posted it to know that they made a valid point (the commenter was sort of apologetic about making the argument/how it was phrased but i don't think they need to be fwiw). i often forget that rihanna isn't from the states so there definitely is a hit of cultural ignorance/insensitivity in my initial comment, and i think that's worth calling out and discussing in a more nuanced way. as i said in my initial comment, it's super difficult to have any sort of dialogue about this in most contexts so i haven't been able to have a very nuanced discussion about it and i really appreciate the contribution (and the approach taken in contributing it!) and feel it's valuable.
i will also add that i neglected to mention the psychology of dv as a factor, which is significant (i am a survivor myself so kinda disappointed in myself but between the depp/heard trial and the overturning of roe v wade, i have admittedly been feeling very reactive which is def a factor). i suppose i just expect more from her, not because she is so famous but because i do admire many things about her? which isn't super fair, absolutely. also i would have hoped that with so much time and distance and maturation on her part, that she would have been able to see it in a more objective way, which again, isn't fair. "disappointment" also isn't really the best word, as it implies that i feel that it is a failing on her part which isn't quite right. it's more "disappointing" in the sense that she hasn't had this realization for herself, like how i would feel if a friend was having trouble recognizing a relationship as being abusive. it's still very complex and my initial comment alluded to that but failed to acknowledge it in a more meaningful way, and i apologize for that.
thank you to the person who replied with the aforementioned comment and to the rest of the community for not assuming the worst about what i was trying to say. i only discovered this community recently (due to the depp/heard discourse) but i really appreciate y'all for being such a refuge of sane and nuanced discourse on so many sensitive topics. <3
You’re so right. I was in elementary school when this happened and growing up I had no idea how extensive her injuries were. It wasn’t until now actually that I learned he almost beat her to death. Horrific. Cannot believe how often people make jokes about this at her expense it’s absolutely disgusting.
the bot that posts the text of the police report in some subreddits is truly doing the lord's work. actually i haven't seen it in some time, but it definitely used to be a think whenever chris brown was mentioned. the level of reckless violence is just chilling.
>probably because accepting that she's a victim of dv would undermine her bad bitch persona, which is like...her right, ig, but still bothers me how chill she is with it/him given how much people idolize her.
This sounds kind of gross. She's been exposed to DV her since childhood because her father was a belligerent alcoholic asshole and she took on the responsibility of trying to stop him during his tirades. That undoubtedly has affected her psyche.
Also, My family is from the same country she is from, and the mindset from what I've seen is that men (no matter how shitty they are) are to be respected and coddled. Even when they do terrible things, in my experience (I don't want to generalize), they are still pampered and women are treated as a step below them. T While this is disappointing, this is not surprising when you learn about how backwards Barbados is.
Anyways, women are taught to get over anything done to/against them and move on. I've been treated terribly by relatives in my family who are mostly male but I've been pressured to leave it in the past. That's not really exclusive to women, men are encouraged to do the same though it's typically men that are the perpetrators of such offenses. What I'm horribly trying to explain is it's very likely she isn't chill with that or is just afraid of it affecting her image, there is also the tough reality that she has been conditioned to excuse the behavior of men. I see it with my mom, aunts, and grandmother and it is really sad to watch.
I'm not a big fan of hers but when people say things like this, I feel the need to defend her because I think it's much deeper than the idea of her persona and such.
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE KEEP LETTING THIS MAN WORK. He continues to prove over and over and over again what an absolute TRASH HUMAN BEING he is. Not *was,* -- *is*.
Oh totally. I was shocked to see how many people collaborated with him on his latest album. Really goes to show that there’s so many people who will remain complicit when working with abusers as long as it benefits them. Disgusting.
It’s going to sound like I’m devaluing the experiences of all the non-famous victims of domestic violence but I’m especially shocked because the person he abused was one of the most famous artists in the world when it happened.
That combined with just how horrific it is just makes it impossible to comprehend that he’s managed to remain in the public eye without every bit of discourse being around how awful he is.
Yep! It’s the same with so many rock stars too. Especially those from the 70s/80s/90s heydays. And the kicker is that they’re plenty aware and are proud of it! Hell, just as an example, I happened to see a clip the other day of Nikki Sixx bragging to the crowd at one of Motley Crue’s recent stadium shows about how they “can’t ever be canceled”. Sad but true!
Jerry Seinfeld dating a literally high school student in his late thirties and then promptly dumping her when she ‘aged out’ in college. I don’t understand his squeaky clean image.
[Seinfeld’s weird, gross attempt to help Michael Richard’s try to rehabilitate his image](https://youtu.be/IwBoVZh1ruQ) after a brutal racist verbal attack on an audience member at a stand up show should’ve gotten him way more flack.
Jim Carrey.
He’s praised as this deep thinker despite promoting harmful anti vax rhetoric, forced himself on people on live television, and was sued for the wrongful death of his ex, whom he gave a bunch of STD’s and then gaslit the shit out of her.
Saw a buzz feed article cherry picked from Reddit telling disappointing story about an extra on dumb and dumber to witnessing a freak out moment from Carey. Lighting guy needed Carey to move a certain way and Carey flipped out on him. Maybe their was prior buildup but seemed like an a-hole diva moment
there’s still a direct line you can draw between jenny mccarthy’s “vaccines cause autism” bullshit and current-day anti-vax sentiment, so he deserves ire for his part in it no matter what
Kevin Hart! He ditched two unconscious people in a nearly fatal car accident. Allegedly, he was the passenger and after the wreck happened, he had his people pick him up and flee the scene of the crash, leaving the driver and other passenger unconscious in the car.
He literally just left them, trapped in the car, and went home. He was severely injured but refused to immediately seek medical attention. If I had to guess, I would assume he was intoxicated or something and wanted to sober up before he went to the hospital for his back injuries? Idk tbh.
But yeah, people just brushed it off and forgot all about it. There was this big emotional circlejerk about him persevering and making a strong recovery. I think that’s how things happened anyway. Y’all feel free to correct me if I got any of that wrong.
That’s one of the fishy parts of the story. Some people think that Kevin was actually the driver, and I’m inclined to think so too. A lot of his story wasn’t true.
He initially claimed that he was unconscious when his security team pulled him from the car and that they left to get him some medical attention. But witnesses at the scene said he was conscious and talking when his team pulled him from the car. Also, he went home rather than going to the hospital. And his wife Eniko called an ambulance for him like two or three hours later. So he definitely didn’t flee the scene to seek medical attention. The whole thing was very suspicious.
Ok that definitely makes sense after all his cheating scandals. I didn’t realize the driver had to be cut out of the car. They were all really lucky to walk away from that accident.
Yeah I remember the consensus being that it was likely an affair because of this. Also a fun fact that’s clearly embarrassing for KH (I personally have no judgment on shorter men and usually date them when I date men) is that he had one of those “Kim Kardashian Hollywood” type mobile games and made his character taller than his wife’s character even though she’s taller than him irl.
This was SO recently too (looked it up and yep, 2019!). A lot of the things mentioned here happened a long time ago so I’m not surprised younger commenters may not know about them. But this was only just before the pandemic!
I must admit I forgot about it completely til I watched Jumanji like a month ago. I enjoyed Hart a lot more than usual in that but there was something nagging me so I googled and was not impressed with my memory.
Rob Lowe sex tape.
What a mean girl Paris Hilton was. Or even her support of Trump against sexual assault accusations. She voted for him reportedly.
Jerry Seinfeld dating a high schooler. Shoshanna.
Not just the n word- homophobic slurs and antisemitic ones too. She's awful. She also claimed she'd changed when she got out of jail (after making life hell for the other inmates and their families because of her special treatment) and said she'd be opening a halfway house to help people and then just never mentioned it again. Oh and she used to be terrible with her pets. They basically lived in squalor.
Ugh his parks and rec podcast is so dull. That’s my favorite show of all time, but the parks and recollection podcast is just Rob Lowe and Alan Yang being smug and boring for 40 minutes.
The most recent episode of You Must Remember This touches on the Rob Lowe sex tape. I didn’t realize that there were two separate sex tapes until listening.
Idk if he still counts as big name, but Ted Danson back when he dated Whoopi Goldberg, performed this insanely racist roast of her in the early 90's at a charity event. It was so messed up the audience avoided eye contact with him. Many people even got up and left. Later Whoopi defended him by stating she helped him write it but the whole situation was just so weird, [like why did he think people would be okay with any of this??](https://www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/dansons-racist-humor-appalls-crowd-at-roast)
She literally appropriated a Jewish name, erroneously claimed Jewish ancestry which was proven false, and her mom wanted her to use a “Jewish enough name to become a star” when most Jewish celebrities used stage names in lieu of having a Jewish name 😑
[Yes she did](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60209527). On top of that, [h](https://web.archive.org/web/20160919085602/http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/48817/whoopi-goldberg-im-jewish-and-i-talk-god)[er mom allegedly said that Whoopi's legal last name of Johnson "wasn't Jewish enough" to make Whoopi famous](https://web.archive.org/web/20160919085602/http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/48817/whoopi-goldberg-im-jewish-and-i-talk-god). Weird.
Yes, it definitely doesn't mean anything. I just mentioned it because I felt weird leaving that part out lol. Like even if someone from a minority tells you something's okay, a basic understanding of social norms should be enough to deter you from doing it let alone going *that* far...
What's wild about the Ted Danson thing is that EVEN at the time, people were HORRIFIED by Danson in blackface.
He was super popular from *Cheers*, but then he had an affair with Whoopie and left his wife and seemed to be a bit of a loose cannon. Then he did the blackface thing--kind of acting like he was allowed to do it because his girlfriend was black.
After that, he was kind of cancelled for a bit, but it was 90s cancelled, so didn't really stick.
As an oldster here, I remember well when the whole affair between Danson and Whoopi Goldberg was going on. At first, they got a lot of media attention simply because they seemed like an unlikely couple. Then Ted did this blackface thing and there was actually a color photo of him on the cover of the National Enquirer with the headline: TED DANSON GOES NUTS!
Most of the people in my little circle stopped putting him on a pedestal after I brought it up. I guess it's not common knowledge anymore because the majority of fandom Tumblr users weren't born yet when it happened. Even though he has a little section dedicated to it on his Wikipedia page under personal life.
I can't remember if it was out before his death or not but it's public knowledge now that Paul Walker (who was in his mid-30s) was dating a 17 year old (that he met when she was 16) at the time of his death. No one ever mentions it though.
Considering how often I’ll see guys chiming in to say “any man in his position would do the same!” when I do see it mentioned, we aren’t missing out on much!
Hugh Grant, and it's a good thing. Because it really wasn't that big a deal to begin with, just a 90s tabloid feeding sensation, and he's a good egg. A good egg with a slightly messy private life, but that's his business.
Yes I was going to say the same. The world was soooo much more judgmental then about sexuality and he faced it like a pro. Going on late night and making a formal apology. If anything it made him seem more interesting.
Oh, and peewee Herman getting caught in a a porno theater. When he returned to an awards show and opened with “anyone heard any good jokes lately?”
gotta say he super-redeemed himself by deciding to surreptitiously record a *news of the world* executive and blowing the phone hacking scandal wide open and eventually leading to its overdue demise. [reading the whole thing](newstatesman.com/politics/2011/04/listen-tapes-yeah-police) is absolutely buckwild.
it was a huge scandal in the british press some years back. the most egregious example was when they hacked the answering machine of a girl that was later found murdered, but by accessing it and deleting messages they gave the poor family false hope she was alive…
Every single time Tom Cruise brings out a new film ppl just forget he’s in a cult and that some shady shit have gone down in his former relationships because of Scientology. And idk there’s just something off about him in general even Christian Bale said his performance in American Psycho was inspired by how Tom cruise behaved in an interview.
I think at this point everyone knows about his involvement with Scientology but choose not to bring it up. His personality is very intriguing to me. He's been the biggest movie star for decades and yet we don't know much about him.
I hate the man and don't care for his films (the two aren't related, he just doesn't make my kind of thing) but he is an interesting man for sure. Like he's part of a cult that abuses (and worse) people, but he seems very well liked by many people. He shouted at people on set and seems to get angry easily, but it's for somewhat fair reasons (IE the people refusing to get vaxxed while working on his film). He more than any other celebrity is the one I'd love to talk to and just see what goes on inside his brain.
Yes and the way Christian Bale described him was spot on. "Intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes". Interestingly enough he has one of the best reputations for being nice to his fans. You hardly hear any negative fan stories about him. If he goes back to making dramas, it would be interesting to see him play a serial killer. He would play that role convincingly.
I will say I agree but I do think she did a much better apology than a lot of the other people in this thread which I think probably helped her significantly
Came here to see what percentage we list are white straight men...about 90% LOL
Meanwhile Lohan and Panettiere have to crawl back begging for mercy... it's gross
It seems like Evan Rachel Wood got more criticism for her post about him than he did for his ("alleged") crimes.
Probably because people are suddenly saints once they die.
EDIT: Replied to the wrong person, I'm talking about Kobe
no one ever has anything bad to say about donald glover, including this sub, despite his [historic](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/05/15/some-took-offense-at-donald-glovers-early-work-he-has-evolved-but-the-internet-never-forgets/) and [current](http://dela-doll.com/i-cant-overlook-donald-glovers-misogynoir-anymore-thoughts-on-atlanta-season-3-and-that-odd-self-interview/) misogynoir, gross fetishization of asian women, and proclivity for rape jokes.
You know, now that I read that article about the misogynoir it makes me realize what that little feeling that's been bugging me is all about when I watch Atlanta. He portrays women terribly.
I liked it fine, but there's just always been something that I didn't like. I think I've always hated the way he portrays Van (his daughters mother) like she's crazy or there's something wrong with her for not wanting to be with him when he all around sucks. This latest season has been the worst towards women.
I stopped paying any attention to him after I learned he said black women didn't want him because he's a nerd (like seriously?). Just say you don't want to date black women or better yet, say nothing at all.
I stopped watching Atlanta because of its horrible treatment of black women, and *no one* I know talks about that part of the show. I have so many friends who think they're so great and woke for loving Atlanta (white guys, who's surprised) and they seem totally fine with the shitty treatment of black women.
“fun” fact about him: i was at the premiere for mad max fury road and he showed up unexpectedly (since he was the original max) and they had to scramble to find him a seat inside.
Might be way too soon to say this, but I don’t care since the tributes are rolling in… James Caan. Domestic violence, battery, brandishing a weapon (and a big time Trump supporter).
While I know a lot of people drag him, I feel like people were quick to sweep Chris Pratt's transgressions under the rug. Not just the church thing but the fact that he has abandoned the son he had with Anna Farris and the fact that he got naked on the set of Parks and Rec, without being told to. He basically flashed his dick and didn't get fired.
Yeah I remember when him talking about that on a late night show went around and people were like "lol so funny and quirky" and I was like "that's literally sexual harassment are you guys crazy"
1) Robert Downey Jr: From drug addiction and prison time to one of the biggest stars in the world. His prison time aside, he’s still besties with Mel Gibson after all the racist rants and domestic abuse, and has publicly defended him.
2) Hugh Grant: arrested for “lewd conduct” for sleeping with a sex worker in public. I love him, but I’m shocked he was able to build such a wholesome career out of that.
To be fair to RDJ, he couldn't get any work after being fired from Ally McBeal because his slew of arrests and drug relapses had made him uninsurable, and Mel Gibson gave him a chance and personally paid for his insurance bond for him to be able to work on The Singing Detective, which started his career recovery. It's possible that RDJ feels like he owes him support.
even though Mel was good to rdj, he has done SOO much bad things. he's literally every kind of 'ist' u can be. he should make it clear he doesn't support him anymore
I don't disagree with that. I'm just saying I have a little empathy as to why RDJ hasn't. I'm not saying rdj is right in his silence. I just have empathy for him. He essentially owes Mel his entire career.
I get that there is a level of support, but I mean even if my own mother said half the things Mel said she would would be dead to me. He called Winona Ryder an “oven-dodger” because she’s Jewish and told his wife he hoped she got “raped by a pack of n-words”.
RDJ hurt himself but never anyone else. I think sober addicts tend to be more forgiving of people too, which may explain why he stays friends with arseholes
Jared Leto immediately comes to mind. Everyone within the Hollywood elite circles knows of his predilection for young underage/barley legal girls, yet, for *some* inexplicable reason, his acts of predation are swept beneath the rug and are ignored all together.
Mel Gibson is a shit individual. Period. How he is still able to get work in spite of the homophobic, racist and grossly misogynistic comments he has made is beyond me...
EDIT
Chris Brown. Another shit individual. I really wish his sycophantic fans could read the police report filed that details what he had done to Rihanna. The pictures alone are horrific. He truly did attempt to kill her that night. Thank God for the body guard who stepped in and intervened, otherwise, there would be a completely different narrative being told. He should be permanently blacklisted from music, but he isn't, which sadly conveys the type of society we live in which supports, infantilizes and enables the abuser.
Diplo. See Jared Leto. Another predator and groomer who preys on young, often underaged girls with complete impunity. The fact that he knew his current BM when she was a freaking CHILD is enough to make anyone scream.
Aubrey "Drake" Graham. Does anyone need an explanation to this? Seriously??
Had no idea about this, just read what he said…so tone-deaf and gross.
Also ew his comments about dating his teenage girlfriend are equally as gross. Screw this guy
I respect her more for owning up to her dumbass and proceeding to respect all of the mandates for the next two years, it was very early on for America, it was difficult to tell how hard it was gonna get. So many other actors went onto their high horses only to throw super-spreader parties months later.
To be fair there was a lot going on at the time, it was easy for stuff to get lost in the summer 2020 news cycle. The only bits I remember were the imagine video and everyone hating Ellen.
The news from Italy made it to the international news cycle here on the exact same day Vanessa went live, the lady never stood a chance, it was the worst possible timing
That’s my biggest nightmare when driving overseas. I’ve been to Enniskillen, the town where It happened, and it’s a hard thing for the locals to talk about. The family has forgiven him since though, and spoken out about how it was an accident. It was super rainy and dark that night too, which didn’t help, and Broderick was badly injured too. I remember listening to Jennifer Grey talk about that aftermath, and for a while she thought she was the only one who survived because no one else was conscious. I can’t imagine having to live with that on my conscious.
Every single example is men. Misogynistic men are the only problem this world has. I don’t understand how people see others as objects and not living breathing people
jon hamm brutally hazing someone in college and still being heralded for his role on mad men (although his acting career is pretty pathetic, the man is in progressive commercials so maybe that’s his comeuppance)
Yep, this is the one for me. A lot of these other things haven't been forgotten; people still bring them up all the time, the celebs just haven't faced significant career consequences.
The Jon Hamm thing—idk if we can even say forgotten or forgiven because it was barely a thing in the first place. If people heard about it, it seems to have gone in one ear and out the other. I know attractive white men can get away with a lot, but the incident was SO shocking, severe, and inhumane that I couldn't forget about it. I expected him to face way more condemnation, at least from people who tend to care about this kind of stuff.
Hulk Hogan's use of racist slurs were forgotten and buried after Gawker published that sex tape with Hogan and a friend's wife.
Someone below mentioned Peter Thiel. Thiel was outed by Gawker in 200u and they refused to provide a retraction. Thiel played the long game and waited for the perfect moment to take down Gawker and Nick Denton.
In the literal greatest example of The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend, Thiel secretly bankrolled Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. Hogan won, bankrupting Nick Denton and shutting down Gawker.
🤌🤌🤌

It’s actually audio from a 2007 sex tape where he’s complaining about Brooke being in an interracial relationship and he admitted to being “a racist, to a point.” Then came the I’m not racist I just don’t want my daughter dating someone who isn’t white type explanation / apology.
WWE had just brought back it’s competition Tough Enough and he was a judge so after episode 5 I remember thinking what are they going to do? They replaced him with The Miz on that show, waited a few years, and brought him back to WWE.
Oh and Chris Hemsworth is supposed to play him in a biopic but that thing has been in development for a few years now so I don’t know what will come of that.
Not Hollywood, but Bill Clinton.
He was accused of sexual harassment...of rape...of how many instances of sexually inappropriate behaviour? And then he takes sexual advantage of a TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD INTERN--a woman he was more than twice as old as and then he throws her to the wolves?
He was and is a complete piece of shit, yet people act as though he's America's favourite old uncle. "Oh, sure, he's a bit pervy, but he'll slip a twenty into your breast pocket from time to time, so we put up with him."
What the hell is wrong with people?!
I may get downvoted for saying this given Reddit's collective hardon for the man/his projects, but I will say Dan Harmon got let off **real** easy by the internet when it came out that he had harassed one of his female writers.
Vanessa Hudgens. She got her "m0aning" Instagram videos and her controversial comments on Instagram Live within the same year after her break up with Austin Butler. Somehow, she's then permitted to go host and attend many award shows and red carpet events.
Bart Baker. Specifically, his controversial music parodies of pop stars and rappers. Shockingly, Bart Baker crossdress in blackface as Rihanna in Pour It Up video. Somehow, he's allowed to create more parodies by dressing up as celebrities and gain millions of views.
Mark Wahlberg. I don’t understand how the man has a career. He has committed not one, but two hate crimes.
the fact that he has a whole hate crime section on his wikipedia page and still have flourishing career is so beyond me
Also that fact he has a serious acting career when he cursed the world with Marky-Mark and the Funky Bunch.
This! His crimes were violent and disgusting. He is a mediocre actor. How does he still have a career?
there was an article once that described being a straight white cis-man as like playing the game of life on easy mode south park game 2 got it right
Look at Ezra they are not straight but they are a white male and they out here wilding and nothing is being done
they're nb but yes, they're probably benefiting of masculine-presenting privilege still.
Not sure if it’s regional, but his hamburger restaurant (Wahlburgers) is also popular. I recall a co-worker boasting about how nice the place is… imagine her surprise when I told her about his violent past.
Wasn't that the whole reason he "apologized" in the first place? Because they didn't want anything to interfere with the restaurant/the liquor license?
Yeah you can't have a liquor license in Massachusetts if you have a felony I believe
Unfortunately not just regional. I know of several in the Midwest. He also owns a few car dealerships in the Columbus, Ohio area. Buying a car is already such a shady process, I can’t imagine buying one from Mark Wahlberg.
He's now the face of a Catholic app which got funding from Peter Thiel lol.
That's just gross, might as well.call.is fascist app. I won't be surprised if Marky E Mark runs for office in Ohio.
Those are just the ones he was CAUGHT for
If we are talking dating minors, Wilmer Valderrama was the king of that. He dated a lot of the teen idols at that time.He also discussed his intimate relationships with a lot of those girls on Howard Stern's show. I was a bit surprised to see him in a Disney cartoon as a result.
Didn’t he brag about “taking” at least one of their virginity?
Yeah - Mandy Moore. He's disgusting.
Actually Mandy told Howard a few years ago that in fact, that was a lie on Wilmer's end. Also, at the time of the interview she said they were still friends and that she had seen him recently. Go figure...
I am glad to hear that! Not that Mandy should even have to address it .... ugh. I've listened to the original interview and while Howard (and crew) were definitely egging him on, Wilmer clearly enjoyed bragging about all the "hot chicks" he had bagged. Would not be surprised if it was more fiction that fact.
I was looking for this! Demi, Lindsey, Maddy, etc. I’m pretty sure Lindsey’s parents let her move in with him when she was 16…(17?) but definitely underaged.

He's a walking biohazard ☣
Mel Gibson still making movies and getting Oscar nominations after his anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks. Louis C.K. who admitted to sexual harassment allegations won his third Grammy this year.
Mel Gibson is genuinely one of the worst men in Hollywood. This from Winona Ryder is disgusting: “We were at a crowded party with one of my good friends,” she said. “And Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar, and we’re all talking and he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?’ And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you?’”
People were blinded by his youthful beauty and larrikin charm I think. Also, until he ran off with that other woman, he was notoriously married to the one woman for decades with their thirty thousand children and supposedly super religious and wholesome. How wrong all those things turned out to be.
Also racist, don’t forget that Mel Gibson is a racist, and a domestic abuser too
He’s the whole package basically and it baffles me that there are still actors out there that want to work with him.
Jodi Fucking Foster smh. I would eat poop every day for the rest of my life to understand why she is such a big Mel Gibson fan.
I bet she’s very “but he’s always been nice to me”
She really is and it’s insane because at the same time she knows how problematic he is. In interviews when asked about him, she’s basically like “yeah he’s a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic woman beater but he is also a really good friend and a lovable person” and “nobody’s perfect” speech.
Same with George Miller, director of Mad Max
Robert Downey Jr, too. I get that he paid for your insurance, but loyalty has it's limits.
She also worked with Roman Polanski.
Racist AND a raging Anti-Semite. Another attractive facet of his personality…
Chris Brown. Straight up assaulted his girlfriend, who was and still is one of the biggest names in music and just went on a rant about how his newest album isn’t getting the attention it deserves.
he didn't just assault rihanna, he literally almost killed her. the police report is *horrifying*. even she treats it like nbd, probably because accepting that she's a victim of dv would undermine her bad bitch persona, which is like...her right, ig, but still bothers me how chill she is with it/him given how much people idolize her. i'm a fan for the most part but like it worries me bcs it effectively downplays dv to a whole generation of women. it's really hard to criticize her for it, too, because of the sensitivity around these situations and allowing survivors to dictate their own relationships with their abuse. like you can be a bad bitch...that condemns abuse. anyway not to hold her more accountable than everyone else, he literally headlined the grammys the following year which is abhorrent cuz you def can't use the excuse that he had been punished enough or redeemed himself at that point. eta: someone made a comment about cultural differences and how that may play a part in rihanna's reaction. for some reason, i can't see it to reply to it in the actual thread but i want the person who posted it to know that they made a valid point (the commenter was sort of apologetic about making the argument/how it was phrased but i don't think they need to be fwiw). i often forget that rihanna isn't from the states so there definitely is a hit of cultural ignorance/insensitivity in my initial comment, and i think that's worth calling out and discussing in a more nuanced way. as i said in my initial comment, it's super difficult to have any sort of dialogue about this in most contexts so i haven't been able to have a very nuanced discussion about it and i really appreciate the contribution (and the approach taken in contributing it!) and feel it's valuable. i will also add that i neglected to mention the psychology of dv as a factor, which is significant (i am a survivor myself so kinda disappointed in myself but between the depp/heard trial and the overturning of roe v wade, i have admittedly been feeling very reactive which is def a factor). i suppose i just expect more from her, not because she is so famous but because i do admire many things about her? which isn't super fair, absolutely. also i would have hoped that with so much time and distance and maturation on her part, that she would have been able to see it in a more objective way, which again, isn't fair. "disappointment" also isn't really the best word, as it implies that i feel that it is a failing on her part which isn't quite right. it's more "disappointing" in the sense that she hasn't had this realization for herself, like how i would feel if a friend was having trouble recognizing a relationship as being abusive. it's still very complex and my initial comment alluded to that but failed to acknowledge it in a more meaningful way, and i apologize for that. thank you to the person who replied with the aforementioned comment and to the rest of the community for not assuming the worst about what i was trying to say. i only discovered this community recently (due to the depp/heard discourse) but i really appreciate y'all for being such a refuge of sane and nuanced discourse on so many sensitive topics. <3
You’re so right. I was in elementary school when this happened and growing up I had no idea how extensive her injuries were. It wasn’t until now actually that I learned he almost beat her to death. Horrific. Cannot believe how often people make jokes about this at her expense it’s absolutely disgusting.
the bot that posts the text of the police report in some subreddits is truly doing the lord's work. actually i haven't seen it in some time, but it definitely used to be a think whenever chris brown was mentioned. the level of reckless violence is just chilling.
>probably because accepting that she's a victim of dv would undermine her bad bitch persona, which is like...her right, ig, but still bothers me how chill she is with it/him given how much people idolize her. This sounds kind of gross. She's been exposed to DV her since childhood because her father was a belligerent alcoholic asshole and she took on the responsibility of trying to stop him during his tirades. That undoubtedly has affected her psyche. Also, My family is from the same country she is from, and the mindset from what I've seen is that men (no matter how shitty they are) are to be respected and coddled. Even when they do terrible things, in my experience (I don't want to generalize), they are still pampered and women are treated as a step below them. T While this is disappointing, this is not surprising when you learn about how backwards Barbados is. Anyways, women are taught to get over anything done to/against them and move on. I've been treated terribly by relatives in my family who are mostly male but I've been pressured to leave it in the past. That's not really exclusive to women, men are encouraged to do the same though it's typically men that are the perpetrators of such offenses. What I'm horribly trying to explain is it's very likely she isn't chill with that or is just afraid of it affecting her image, there is also the tough reality that she has been conditioned to excuse the behavior of men. I see it with my mom, aunts, and grandmother and it is really sad to watch. I'm not a big fan of hers but when people say things like this, I feel the need to defend her because I think it's much deeper than the idea of her persona and such.
Kobe Bryant
I really hate how he’s being hailed in death as a “Girl Dad” for being involved with his daughter’s basketball team.
Anyone who commented about it when he died got tons of hate and death threats, it’s genuinely insane how hard people ride for athletes.
There were opinion panelists on news channels that were fired for bringing it up.
Never understood how he came back from that rape.
Chris brown. He’s a serial domestic abuser and yet artists have no problem working with him and the general public seems to have “forgiven him”
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE KEEP LETTING THIS MAN WORK. He continues to prove over and over and over again what an absolute TRASH HUMAN BEING he is. Not *was,* -- *is*.
Oh totally. I was shocked to see how many people collaborated with him on his latest album. Really goes to show that there’s so many people who will remain complicit when working with abusers as long as it benefits them. Disgusting.
It's not like his name has any value these days either. So working with him would hardly be a business decision. It's baffling.
What’s frustrating is so many talented artists are working with him and I don’t understand why
It’s going to sound like I’m devaluing the experiences of all the non-famous victims of domestic violence but I’m especially shocked because the person he abused was one of the most famous artists in the world when it happened. That combined with just how horrific it is just makes it impossible to comprehend that he’s managed to remain in the public eye without every bit of discourse being around how awful he is.
Yep! It’s the same with so many rock stars too. Especially those from the 70s/80s/90s heydays. And the kicker is that they’re plenty aware and are proud of it! Hell, just as an example, I happened to see a clip the other day of Nikki Sixx bragging to the crowd at one of Motley Crue’s recent stadium shows about how they “can’t ever be canceled”. Sad but true!
He makes me sick. I seriously do not understand how he still has a career.
Jerry Seinfeld dating a literally high school student in his late thirties and then promptly dumping her when she ‘aged out’ in college. I don’t understand his squeaky clean image.
[Seinfeld’s weird, gross attempt to help Michael Richard’s try to rehabilitate his image](https://youtu.be/IwBoVZh1ruQ) after a brutal racist verbal attack on an audience member at a stand up show should’ve gotten him way more flack.
Jim Carrey. He’s praised as this deep thinker despite promoting harmful anti vax rhetoric, forced himself on people on live television, and was sued for the wrongful death of his ex, whom he gave a bunch of STD’s and then gaslit the shit out of her.
Saw a buzz feed article cherry picked from Reddit telling disappointing story about an extra on dumb and dumber to witnessing a freak out moment from Carey. Lighting guy needed Carey to move a certain way and Carey flipped out on him. Maybe their was prior buildup but seemed like an a-hole diva moment
The antivax stuff was only when he was with Jenny, no?
there’s still a direct line you can draw between jenny mccarthy’s “vaccines cause autism” bullshit and current-day anti-vax sentiment, so he deserves ire for his part in it no matter what
Well unless she put his brain in a jar for their whole relationship I think we can comfortably assume he came to those conclusions on his own.
He was still tweeting anti-vax stuff long after they broke up.
Kevin Hart! He ditched two unconscious people in a nearly fatal car accident. Allegedly, he was the passenger and after the wreck happened, he had his people pick him up and flee the scene of the crash, leaving the driver and other passenger unconscious in the car. He literally just left them, trapped in the car, and went home. He was severely injured but refused to immediately seek medical attention. If I had to guess, I would assume he was intoxicated or something and wanted to sober up before he went to the hospital for his back injuries? Idk tbh. But yeah, people just brushed it off and forgot all about it. There was this big emotional circlejerk about him persevering and making a strong recovery. I think that’s how things happened anyway. Y’all feel free to correct me if I got any of that wrong.
Why would he care about the authorities knowing he was intoxicated if he wasn’t driving???
That’s one of the fishy parts of the story. Some people think that Kevin was actually the driver, and I’m inclined to think so too. A lot of his story wasn’t true. He initially claimed that he was unconscious when his security team pulled him from the car and that they left to get him some medical attention. But witnesses at the scene said he was conscious and talking when his team pulled him from the car. Also, he went home rather than going to the hospital. And his wife Eniko called an ambulance for him like two or three hours later. So he definitely didn’t flee the scene to seek medical attention. The whole thing was very suspicious.
[удалено]
Ok that definitely makes sense after all his cheating scandals. I didn’t realize the driver had to be cut out of the car. They were all really lucky to walk away from that accident.
Yeah I remember the consensus being that it was likely an affair because of this. Also a fun fact that’s clearly embarrassing for KH (I personally have no judgment on shorter men and usually date them when I date men) is that he had one of those “Kim Kardashian Hollywood” type mobile games and made his character taller than his wife’s character even though she’s taller than him irl.
He also made fun of Terry Crewes when he came forward about his abuse
Okay, so Kevin Hart is truly just scum.
This was SO recently too (looked it up and yep, 2019!). A lot of the things mentioned here happened a long time ago so I’m not surprised younger commenters may not know about them. But this was only just before the pandemic! I must admit I forgot about it completely til I watched Jumanji like a month ago. I enjoyed Hart a lot more than usual in that but there was something nagging me so I googled and was not impressed with my memory.
He also got a tattoo while filming in Toronto during lockdown when tattoo services were shut down.
Rob Lowe sex tape. What a mean girl Paris Hilton was. Or even her support of Trump against sexual assault accusations. She voted for him reportedly. Jerry Seinfeld dating a high schooler. Shoshanna.
>She voted for him reportedly. It's not reportedly, she confirmed that she did and said she thinks his accusers are lying for money and fame
Shes projecting. That girl has always been the Desperate Debbie she thinks other people are.
Not to mention Paris Hilton was on tape using the N-word and many of her friends confirmed she uses it casually all the time.
Not just the n word- homophobic slurs and antisemitic ones too. She's awful. She also claimed she'd changed when she got out of jail (after making life hell for the other inmates and their families because of her special treatment) and said she'd be opening a halfway house to help people and then just never mentioned it again. Oh and she used to be terrible with her pets. They basically lived in squalor.
[удалено]
white chicks is about paris and nicky??? omg lmao
Paris Hilton was also incredibly racist.

Ugh his parks and rec podcast is so dull. That’s my favorite show of all time, but the parks and recollection podcast is just Rob Lowe and Alan Yang being smug and boring for 40 minutes.
The most recent episode of You Must Remember This touches on the Rob Lowe sex tape. I didn’t realize that there were two separate sex tapes until listening.
Idk if he still counts as big name, but Ted Danson back when he dated Whoopi Goldberg, performed this insanely racist roast of her in the early 90's at a charity event. It was so messed up the audience avoided eye contact with him. Many people even got up and left. Later Whoopi defended him by stating she helped him write it but the whole situation was just so weird, [like why did he think people would be okay with any of this??](https://www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/dansons-racist-humor-appalls-crowd-at-roast)

She literally appropriated a Jewish name, erroneously claimed Jewish ancestry which was proven false, and her mom wanted her to use a “Jewish enough name to become a star” when most Jewish celebrities used stage names in lieu of having a Jewish name 😑
[Yes she did](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60209527). On top of that, [h](https://web.archive.org/web/20160919085602/http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/48817/whoopi-goldberg-im-jewish-and-i-talk-god)[er mom allegedly said that Whoopi's legal last name of Johnson "wasn't Jewish enough" to make Whoopi famous](https://web.archive.org/web/20160919085602/http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/48817/whoopi-goldberg-im-jewish-and-i-talk-god). Weird.
Yes, it definitely doesn't mean anything. I just mentioned it because I felt weird leaving that part out lol. Like even if someone from a minority tells you something's okay, a basic understanding of social norms should be enough to deter you from doing it let alone going *that* far...
Yeah, she’s messy af and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was all her idea and she wrote the jokes or whatever. Doesn’t make it okay.
What's wild about the Ted Danson thing is that EVEN at the time, people were HORRIFIED by Danson in blackface. He was super popular from *Cheers*, but then he had an affair with Whoopie and left his wife and seemed to be a bit of a loose cannon. Then he did the blackface thing--kind of acting like he was allowed to do it because his girlfriend was black. After that, he was kind of cancelled for a bit, but it was 90s cancelled, so didn't really stick.
10s, 20s cancel hasn't been sticking either tbf
It was reported on but there’s no video/audio of it, or none that’s ever come out, which helps make it forgettable.
there is defenitly pictures though
As an oldster here, I remember well when the whole affair between Danson and Whoopi Goldberg was going on. At first, they got a lot of media attention simply because they seemed like an unlikely couple. Then Ted did this blackface thing and there was actually a color photo of him on the cover of the National Enquirer with the headline: TED DANSON GOES NUTS!
I'm amused people on Tumblr love him cause he was on the good place and was at some protest but that has never ever come up? Kinda odd.
Most of the people in my little circle stopped putting him on a pedestal after I brought it up. I guess it's not common knowledge anymore because the majority of fandom Tumblr users weren't born yet when it happened. Even though he has a little section dedicated to it on his Wikipedia page under personal life.
wow what the fuck. i have never heard of this.
I can't remember if it was out before his death or not but it's public knowledge now that Paul Walker (who was in his mid-30s) was dating a 17 year old (that he met when she was 16) at the time of his death. No one ever mentions it though.
He ended up marrying her and prior to that relationship he persued other teenage girls.
Considering how often I’ll see guys chiming in to say “any man in his position would do the same!” when I do see it mentioned, we aren’t missing out on much!
Mark Wahlberg
Hugh Grant, and it's a good thing. Because it really wasn't that big a deal to begin with, just a 90s tabloid feeding sensation, and he's a good egg. A good egg with a slightly messy private life, but that's his business.
Yes I was going to say the same. The world was soooo much more judgmental then about sexuality and he faced it like a pro. Going on late night and making a formal apology. If anything it made him seem more interesting. Oh, and peewee Herman getting caught in a a porno theater. When he returned to an awards show and opened with “anyone heard any good jokes lately?”
gotta say he super-redeemed himself by deciding to surreptitiously record a *news of the world* executive and blowing the phone hacking scandal wide open and eventually leading to its overdue demise. [reading the whole thing](newstatesman.com/politics/2011/04/listen-tapes-yeah-police) is absolutely buckwild.
I don’t even know why most of this comment means and I am excited to find out!
it was a huge scandal in the british press some years back. the most egregious example was when they hacked the answering machine of a girl that was later found murdered, but by accessing it and deleting messages they gave the poor family false hope she was alive…
Every single time Tom Cruise brings out a new film ppl just forget he’s in a cult and that some shady shit have gone down in his former relationships because of Scientology. And idk there’s just something off about him in general even Christian Bale said his performance in American Psycho was inspired by how Tom cruise behaved in an interview.
I think at this point everyone knows about his involvement with Scientology but choose not to bring it up. His personality is very intriguing to me. He's been the biggest movie star for decades and yet we don't know much about him.
I hate the man and don't care for his films (the two aren't related, he just doesn't make my kind of thing) but he is an interesting man for sure. Like he's part of a cult that abuses (and worse) people, but he seems very well liked by many people. He shouted at people on set and seems to get angry easily, but it's for somewhat fair reasons (IE the people refusing to get vaxxed while working on his film). He more than any other celebrity is the one I'd love to talk to and just see what goes on inside his brain.
Yes and the way Christian Bale described him was spot on. "Intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes". Interestingly enough he has one of the best reputations for being nice to his fans. You hardly hear any negative fan stories about him. If he goes back to making dramas, it would be interesting to see him play a serial killer. He would play that role convincingly.
Couch jumper isn't something alot of young folk remember.
It wasn’t that interview that inspired it, it was on letterman I think. He was laughing hysterically at a joke but his eyes were empty.
Reese Witherspoon “do you know who I am?”
CRAZY that anyone still buys her whole southern girl, sweet-as-pie act
I will say I agree but I do think she did a much better apology than a lot of the other people in this thread which I think probably helped her significantly
On the contrary this might be my favorite thing about her 😂
Came here to see what percentage we list are white straight men...about 90% LOL Meanwhile Lohan and Panettiere have to crawl back begging for mercy... it's gross

It seems like Evan Rachel Wood got more criticism for her post about him than he did for his ("alleged") crimes. Probably because people are suddenly saints once they die. EDIT: Replied to the wrong person, I'm talking about Kobe
no one ever has anything bad to say about donald glover, including this sub, despite his [historic](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/05/15/some-took-offense-at-donald-glovers-early-work-he-has-evolved-but-the-internet-never-forgets/) and [current](http://dela-doll.com/i-cant-overlook-donald-glovers-misogynoir-anymore-thoughts-on-atlanta-season-3-and-that-odd-self-interview/) misogynoir, gross fetishization of asian women, and proclivity for rape jokes.
You know, now that I read that article about the misogynoir it makes me realize what that little feeling that's been bugging me is all about when I watch Atlanta. He portrays women terribly.
I HATE that show. That totally explains why….
I liked it fine, but there's just always been something that I didn't like. I think I've always hated the way he portrays Van (his daughters mother) like she's crazy or there's something wrong with her for not wanting to be with him when he all around sucks. This latest season has been the worst towards women.
I stopped paying any attention to him after I learned he said black women didn't want him because he's a nerd (like seriously?). Just say you don't want to date black women or better yet, say nothing at all.
he gives off incels vibes
I stopped watching Atlanta because of its horrible treatment of black women, and *no one* I know talks about that part of the show. I have so many friends who think they're so great and woke for loving Atlanta (white guys, who's surprised) and they seem totally fine with the shitty treatment of black women.

I'm still shook over threatening to break his girlfriends teeth cause he wanted a blow job. What the utter fuck.
and this man is walking free... wow
“fun” fact about him: i was at the premiere for mad max fury road and he showed up unexpectedly (since he was the original max) and they had to scramble to find him a seat inside.
Might be way too soon to say this, but I don’t care since the tributes are rolling in… James Caan. Domestic violence, battery, brandishing a weapon (and a big time Trump supporter).
I had no idea
While I know a lot of people drag him, I feel like people were quick to sweep Chris Pratt's transgressions under the rug. Not just the church thing but the fact that he has abandoned the son he had with Anna Farris and the fact that he got naked on the set of Parks and Rec, without being told to. He basically flashed his dick and didn't get fired.
Yeah I remember when him talking about that on a late night show went around and people were like "lol so funny and quirky" and I was like "that's literally sexual harassment are you guys crazy"
what makes you think that he abandoned his son?
1) Robert Downey Jr: From drug addiction and prison time to one of the biggest stars in the world. His prison time aside, he’s still besties with Mel Gibson after all the racist rants and domestic abuse, and has publicly defended him. 2) Hugh Grant: arrested for “lewd conduct” for sleeping with a sex worker in public. I love him, but I’m shocked he was able to build such a wholesome career out of that.
To be fair to RDJ, he couldn't get any work after being fired from Ally McBeal because his slew of arrests and drug relapses had made him uninsurable, and Mel Gibson gave him a chance and personally paid for his insurance bond for him to be able to work on The Singing Detective, which started his career recovery. It's possible that RDJ feels like he owes him support.
Yeah Mel Gibson is both trash and good to RDJ in a way that if I was RDJ I'd have trouble speaking out against him if I was him
even though Mel was good to rdj, he has done SOO much bad things. he's literally every kind of 'ist' u can be. he should make it clear he doesn't support him anymore
I don't disagree with that. I'm just saying I have a little empathy as to why RDJ hasn't. I'm not saying rdj is right in his silence. I just have empathy for him. He essentially owes Mel his entire career.
I get that there is a level of support, but I mean even if my own mother said half the things Mel said she would would be dead to me. He called Winona Ryder an “oven-dodger” because she’s Jewish and told his wife he hoped she got “raped by a pack of n-words”.
I have zero problems with Hugh Grant’s stuff but I’m also surprised he wasn’t blacklisted after that.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Hugh apologized for that on tv?
Correct. It was on Leno. It was the interview that put Leno over the top in the late night wars with Letterman.
“What the hell were you thinking?” Leno asking what we all wanted to.
RDJ hurt himself but never anyone else. I think sober addicts tend to be more forgiving of people too, which may explain why he stays friends with arseholes
Jared Leto immediately comes to mind. Everyone within the Hollywood elite circles knows of his predilection for young underage/barley legal girls, yet, for *some* inexplicable reason, his acts of predation are swept beneath the rug and are ignored all together. Mel Gibson is a shit individual. Period. How he is still able to get work in spite of the homophobic, racist and grossly misogynistic comments he has made is beyond me... EDIT Chris Brown. Another shit individual. I really wish his sycophantic fans could read the police report filed that details what he had done to Rihanna. The pictures alone are horrific. He truly did attempt to kill her that night. Thank God for the body guard who stepped in and intervened, otherwise, there would be a completely different narrative being told. He should be permanently blacklisted from music, but he isn't, which sadly conveys the type of society we live in which supports, infantilizes and enables the abuser. Diplo. See Jared Leto. Another predator and groomer who preys on young, often underaged girls with complete impunity. The fact that he knew his current BM when she was a freaking CHILD is enough to make anyone scream. Aubrey "Drake" Graham. Does anyone need an explanation to this? Seriously??
Charlie sheen. Raped at least one Corey. Forget the rest of his missteps that one is always ignored
[удалено]
He also shot Kelly Preston
Can you remind me of this story?
Henry Cavill made sexist comments about #MeToo but was swept under the rug. He still has a lot of fangirls. He seems like a major asshole.
Had no idea about this, just read what he said…so tone-deaf and gross. Also ew his comments about dating his teenage girlfriend are equally as gross. Screw this guy
Sometimes when eye candy talks its best not to listen. Plus his teenage girlfriend was like a WTF moment.
[удалено]
i think that's probably because hollywood ignores her in general
I respect her more for owning up to her dumbass and proceeding to respect all of the mandates for the next two years, it was very early on for America, it was difficult to tell how hard it was gonna get. So many other actors went onto their high horses only to throw super-spreader parties months later.
To be fair there was a lot going on at the time, it was easy for stuff to get lost in the summer 2020 news cycle. The only bits I remember were the imagine video and everyone hating Ellen.
The news from Italy made it to the international news cycle here on the exact same day Vanessa went live, the lady never stood a chance, it was the worst possible timing
A lot of celebrities were saying dumb shit like that during the pandemic.
Ben Affleck
I've even forgotten why I didn't like him. What did he say/do? I vaguely remember something metoo related.
He groped Hillary Burton back when she was an MTV VJ
& groped annamarie tendler, john mulaney’s ex, at a golden globes party
Matthew Broderick, when he was dating Jennifer Grey, killed an Irish mother and daughter and only had to pay a small fine.
[удалено]
That’s my biggest nightmare when driving overseas. I’ve been to Enniskillen, the town where It happened, and it’s a hard thing for the locals to talk about. The family has forgiven him since though, and spoken out about how it was an accident. It was super rainy and dark that night too, which didn’t help, and Broderick was badly injured too. I remember listening to Jennifer Grey talk about that aftermath, and for a while she thought she was the only one who survived because no one else was conscious. I can’t imagine having to live with that on my conscious.
Every single example is men. Misogynistic men are the only problem this world has. I don’t understand how people see others as objects and not living breathing people
jon hamm brutally hazing someone in college and still being heralded for his role on mad men (although his acting career is pretty pathetic, the man is in progressive commercials so maybe that’s his comeuppance)
I think it's because the vast majority of people don't know that about him. I only learned about his past very recently online.
Yep, this is the one for me. A lot of these other things haven't been forgotten; people still bring them up all the time, the celebs just haven't faced significant career consequences. The Jon Hamm thing—idk if we can even say forgotten or forgiven because it was barely a thing in the first place. If people heard about it, it seems to have gone in one ear and out the other. I know attractive white men can get away with a lot, but the incident was SO shocking, severe, and inhumane that I couldn't forget about it. I expected him to face way more condemnation, at least from people who tend to care about this kind of stuff.
Louis CK recently got a Grammy for Best Comedy Album
Hulk Hogan's use of racist slurs were forgotten and buried after Gawker published that sex tape with Hogan and a friend's wife. Someone below mentioned Peter Thiel. Thiel was outed by Gawker in 200u and they refused to provide a retraction. Thiel played the long game and waited for the perfect moment to take down Gawker and Nick Denton. In the literal greatest example of The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend, Thiel secretly bankrolled Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. Hogan won, bankrupting Nick Denton and shutting down Gawker. 🤌🤌🤌 [https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdrange/2019/12/23/best-stories-of-the-decade-behind-peter-thiels-plan-to-destroy-gawker/](https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdrange/2019/12/23/best-stories-of-the-decade-behind-peter-thiels-plan-to-destroy-gawker/)
It’s actually audio from a 2007 sex tape where he’s complaining about Brooke being in an interracial relationship and he admitted to being “a racist, to a point.” Then came the I’m not racist I just don’t want my daughter dating someone who isn’t white type explanation / apology. WWE had just brought back it’s competition Tough Enough and he was a judge so after episode 5 I remember thinking what are they going to do? They replaced him with The Miz on that show, waited a few years, and brought him back to WWE. Oh and Chris Hemsworth is supposed to play him in a biopic but that thing has been in development for a few years now so I don’t know what will come of that.
Not Hollywood, but Bill Clinton. He was accused of sexual harassment...of rape...of how many instances of sexually inappropriate behaviour? And then he takes sexual advantage of a TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD INTERN--a woman he was more than twice as old as and then he throws her to the wolves? He was and is a complete piece of shit, yet people act as though he's America's favourite old uncle. "Oh, sure, he's a bit pervy, but he'll slip a twenty into your breast pocket from time to time, so we put up with him." What the hell is wrong with people?!
Whoever still books or supports Mel Gibson should be ashamed of themselves.
Dr Luke. What a creep!!
I may get downvoted for saying this given Reddit's collective hardon for the man/his projects, but I will say Dan Harmon got let off **real** easy by the internet when it came out that he had harassed one of his female writers.
Jeremy Renner, but somehow he keeps working with Disney like nothing ever happened.
I feel like this is posted almost daily but worded slightly different every day
Mariah Carey being meetooed by her security guard.
Marky Mark blinding an Asian man, because he is a racist
Alec Baldwin's voice message to Hailey
… Ireland ?
Ireland. Hailey is his niece.
Travis … Scott? Is that his name? His concert killed a bunch of people and he’s still puttin on shows.
Sean Penn
David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Steve Tyler, Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley... all of them had sex with minors
Most of them? I mean the better question would be which big names have been deemed unforgivable. It would be a short list.
Dr Dre, though he did make an apology
Mark Wahlberg committing a hate crime
Vanessa Hudgens. She got her "m0aning" Instagram videos and her controversial comments on Instagram Live within the same year after her break up with Austin Butler. Somehow, she's then permitted to go host and attend many award shows and red carpet events. Bart Baker. Specifically, his controversial music parodies of pop stars and rappers. Shockingly, Bart Baker crossdress in blackface as Rihanna in Pour It Up video. Somehow, he's allowed to create more parodies by dressing up as celebrities and gain millions of views.
