40 Celebs Who Lost It All And Only Have Themselves To Blame

Will Smith for sure. Dude was on top of the world.

derpyninja:

I’m a 90s kid. Will Smith was everywhere. Fresh Prince and his blockbuster movies were part of so many people’s childhood. Thought he was a chill guy.
That punch and outburst ruined him forever. There’s no going back.

He was already wrecked way before that in my eyes due to being a scientologist.

Axl Rose.

fridchikn24:

You know you're a [jerk] when Slash, one of the chillest dudes ever, can't put up with [you].

It did nothing to his career, but Alec Baldwin calling his daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig" forever stamped him as an [jerk] in my book. Given his general attitude, I don't see him changing labels going forward.

For a English Lord Jeffrey Archer takes some beating.

Deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, resigned due to his lust for call girls. Sues the newspaper for liable, wins £500,000 (1987 pounds)

Set up a charity for The Kurds, claimed it raised £57,000,000. Only raised £3.000.000 ( rest came from goverment and other sources)

Shoplifted some very nice shirts and a suit while in Canada

Insider trading - In January 1994, Mary Archer, then a director of Anglia Television, attended a directors' meeting at which an impending takeover of Anglia Television by MAI, which owned Meridian Broadcasting, was discussed.[36] The following day, Jeffrey Archer bought 50,000 shares in Anglia Television

Ran for Lord Mayor of London, his friends turned him in about lying to a Liable jury, got 4 years in the pokey, had to pay a fortune in compensation

The African coup attempt ( with Mark Thatcher ) Simon Mann, jailed in Equatorial Guinea but released on humanitarian grounds later, for his role in leading the failed 2004 coup d'état told The Daily Telegraph that his forthcoming book, Cry Havoc, would reveal "the financial involvement of a controversial and internationally famous member of the British House of Lords in the plot, backed up by banking records." He claimed documents from the bank accounts in Guernsey of two companies Mann used as vehicles for organising the coup, showed a 'J H Archer' paying $135,000 into one of the firms.

He has been begged to resign from the House of Lords, he has refused and stuck to his guns, he was suspended from Marylebone Cricket Club for seven years, but the House of Lords cant kick him out.

Honestly watch this guy. I bet there is another chapter in this mans life.

Ted Haggard - head of a super mega church then forced out after it was revealed he was having a gay affair.

Milli Vanilli. They won a Grammy and were super popular and several hit songs. A lip syncing incident happens and it comes out that they didn't actually sing on the record. They become laughingstocks, lose their Grammy, and never regain any popularity. Just as they decide to do stuff on their own, one of their singers goes to jail.

Anthony Weiner. From Congressman down to jokes and back up to almost NYC Mayor and all the way down to "Carlos Danger".

another_sunnyday:

You'd think with his last name, he would be extra careful to avoid becoming a punchline.

Jian Ghomeshi.

Anon:

The bill cosby of Canada.

Anon:

After he hired that PR company and released a statement, several media outlets referred to his statement as a ''master stroke'' of PR.
But to me, it was exactly the opposite.
I can't really point to specific sentences, but I didn't know anything about him or the accusations until his statement, and it set off alarm bells. The tone of it, the weak "evil ex and scandalmongers" thing, the attempt to soften the blow of coming allegations and promote the "she's lying" narrative... Just, everything together made him look guilty.

I'm pretty sure the only people that discuss Mel Gibson are Matt Stone, Trey Parker, and RDJ. Otherwise he's near shunned. He was in Machete Kills, Get the Gringo, and the Expendables 3. I've seen all three. Get the Gringo and Machete are fun. The roles aren't all that big outside of Gringo. He doesn't have much room to get back into mainstream Hollywood and he didn't get any reprieve for the [things]he said. Even Gary Oldman who defended Gibson was just a kook. Lindsay Lohan has Oprah. RDJ had the willpower to overcome his [things]. Gibson is a ghost in entertainment now and he used to be a great actor and director.

Bill Cosby wins, but Neil Gaiman is a recent nominee as well.

HappyRepealDay:

I have a back tattoo of The Sandman. It was my favorite comic, and Gaiman was one of my favorite authors. Absolutely devastating for me, and I'm heartbroken for those he victimized.

I never loved Elon, but he genuinely seemed like a half decent guy for a billionaire 10 years ago.

Robin Thicke! Look up what happened to him after blurred lines.

Lindsay Lohan.

Dart06:

This depresses me a lot because I actually watched Mean Girls for the first time ever a few weeks ago and she was seriously smoking hot in that movie.
Its a damn shame that the people around her didn't have a better influence over her. She could have turned into a very beautiful woman.

Paula Deen.

TenBeers:

I don't even understand why. She said something 20 years ago that we consider to be bad today.
There's a lot of reasons to dislike her, but this one is the stupidest.

For example, you can hate her for getting rich by promoting unhealthy recipes, then becoming the spokesperson for a new diabetes drug, allowing her to profit from both sides of the disease.

Gene Simmons.

I mean, who hasn't he pissed off?

John Edwards had a pretty big fall.

Once the future of the Democratic Party...seemed like a wholesome family man found to have had an affair while his wife [had] cancer. Definitely came as a shock to me.

Vanilla Ice. Won a Grammy, told people to kiss his white [behind], became D list novelty on reality TV.

Ched Evans was a professional footballer playing at a high level earning tons of money, now he is a convicted [criminal] and no club wants him in their team..

Good work Ched.

Paul Reubens. Some people say Bill Cosby, but Bill Cosby is still doing shows. Pee Wee disappeared for 20 years after what happened to him.

I'd say Amanda Bynes crashed pretty hard.

tinklesbear:

I felt so bad for the crazy girl, but it was fascinating to read about..
