Many of us tend to put celebrities on a pedestal, seemingly forgetting that they’re human beings, too. They make mistakes and do things that may make them come off as abhorrent individuals.
Seeing a revered figure act like a fool or fall from grace can be unforgivable, as these responses from a recent Reddit thread prove. Here, people shared why they are no longer fans of these famous names, along with firsthand experiences that completely turned them off.
Scroll through and see if the personalities you had in mind made the list. Likewise, feel free to join the conversation through the comments.

Beyonce for not letting any parents into the NICU to see their sick and preemie babies just because it was on the same floor as her when Blue ivy was born. What a jerk.
Edit: I know this seems trivial compared to most of these but I was home with my baby son watching the TV with all these parents standing in a line the hospital just hoping to see their babies and I was LIVID.
Also remember that time she played HERSELF in Dreamgirls?

Serena Williams lost in the US Open final and ruined the trophy ceremony for her opponent (20 y/o Naomi Osaka) who had just won her first major title in her career. Serena’s tirade on the mic during her speech when she received her 2nd place trophy led to making Osaka cry and APOLOGIZE to the crowd for WINNING. Was supposed to be the biggest moment of her (Osaka) life and Serena selfishly ruined it.

Woody Allen. You don’t just marry your adopted daughter and expect the world to just go with it.

Logan Paul. You can’t just film a dead person who passed by taking their life and post it on the internet and then apologize a few months later. He exploited some poor families tragedy to get clicks on a YouTube video. He’s so selfish it’s disgusting. All the while making sure he had his Gucci jacket on. It’s just a disgusting level of privilege and unawareness. He’s also done a bunch of horrible stuff since.

Ariana Grande for licking those donuts and putting them back on the shelf.
That’s disgusting.
Pretty sure it was a small mom and pop store too.

Kevin Spacey for being a predator. I don’t care that he wasn’t convicted in the UK, I believe the people who say he did touch them, many of whom have never brought a case against him, so have no motivation to make false allegations.

Marky “racist’ Mark Wahlberg
I will always call him Marky mark especially since he hates being referred to that.
Not only is he racist but he also tried to get his record expunged when he became more famous one of the reasons he used was that
he wanted to be a role model. Haha 😂.

Jim Carrey.
The anti-vax movement and subsequent sick or passed children, and inability to stop COVID, would have happened without him... But he gave it momentum. There are absolutely bodies on his name.
That, and his insufferable attempt to tell the world how brilliant his bad performance as Andy Kaufman was, were a perfect one-two punch that made me never want to see his face again.

There’s obviously a lot of celebrities who have done way worse stuff, but I’ll say Wayne Gretzky. Grew up idolizing him like a lot of other Canadians, so when he refused to stand up for Canada and stuck with his pal Trump over his own country, he became dead to me. Haven’t been able to look at him the same since and never will.

Michael Vick.
What he put his own dogs through was bad enough, but then learning about the thousands of dogs that he drove around to find and steal from their yards to then hurt and train his fighting dogs with, the families that lost their companions to that nightmare…. It’s outright evil. He is a vile person who deserves to rot in the deepest pits of hell. There is no redemption from that level of cruelness. Straight up sociopathic/serial killer traits…
And then seeing the NFL and ESPN try to help rehab his image… Frick them. He’s a coach now for Norfolk University in Virginia…. Solid values he holds to pass on to our youth.

Everyone implicated with Epstein.
Neil Gaiman. Can’t even look at his books. I loved his writing so much and it kills me what a monster he is.
