30 Celebs Who Were Canceled But Didn't Deserve It, According To People Online

Johnny Depp.

As a male that was in a relationship with an abusive woman, this whole thing breaks my heart.

I know how hard it can be to come out about, and how hard it is to be believed at all. And then of course, as soon as someone starts to put pressure on the abuser, suddenly all these allegations start coming out about you, and none of them true or accurate, but because she's a woman, she must be the victim right?

If my ex was upset about something, she'd rub the cat on my pillow (I'm allergic) so I'd be up all night coughing and wheezing. Then she'd s@#t on me for staying up late. Then give me s@#t for sleeping in the next day.

My ex used to punch me in the face while I was sleeping. She couldn't stand my snoring. I'd go to work in the mornings with a black eye. If she fell asleep first, it was ok, but she was always up late, so I'd have to go sleep on the couch. But she'd insist on staying up late and watching TV, so I couldn't sleep on the couch. I fell asleep on the bathroom floor once out of sheer exhaustion.

There's so many more examples, but the point is I feel for JD 100%

Not completely gone, but Terry Crews has issues getting work because he spoke out about being sexually assaulted during the me too movent. People assumed a man his stature couldn't be assaulted and he gave names and people weren't very happy.

Monica Lewinsky. Judging from her Twitter account, she seems like a lovely person.

It's a shame. Dave Chappelle said it best. 'Who hasn't sucked a d#$k they regretted?' and Bill was a charismatic dude too. Lots of people get into relationships with authority figures during lapses in judgement, but Monica has been the butt of a joke because of it for two decades because of her lapse in judgement.

S#$%#y situation, she deserves better.

Also, f$%k the person that said Lewinsky doesn't deserve better.

Kind of a unique case but: Laura Dern.

When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.

She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.

Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role.

Britney Spears when she shaved her head and all that. I'm no fan of hers but she just seemed like someone who cracked under all the pressure and lost her s#@t. Craig Ferguson did an absolutely amazing job talking about that and relating it to his own life. Major respect to him for that. Kind of long but worth watching.

I dont know if he was "cancelled" but Hollywood did Brendan Fraser dirty. Glad to see him working again. I hear doom patrols good.

[Turns out,] [h]e was blacklisted not cancelled. I dont want to blur the lines between the two, I'm just not very hip.

Sinead O'Connor

Spoke out against corruption and pedophilia in the catholic church very blatantly in a SNL act. Was completely removed from anything in the entertainment industry. Turns out instead of moral outrage people should have listened. I've seen in somewhat recent interviews that she is somewhat well adjusted despite it all. She knew it was going to cross a line when she did it, but she believes it pushed any investigation into such things forward and possibly gave people courage to speak up.

Elizabeth Olsen. Her co-worker died and she didn't post to social media immediately as it was happening. So people bullied her off of her Social Media accounts.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. If you were part of that mess, you don't deserve to watch WandaVision or Doctor Strange 2

Ashley Judd. Harvey Weinstein blacklisted her for years. She’s an incredible actress IMO.

Janet Jackson after Nipplegate was a travesty in how she was treated like a pariah afterwards. (I know, timing with Timberlake's apology and all).

Just want to throw in here that I really don't care whether it was planned or not, I'm talking purely the reaction, which was incredibly stupid.

Mira Sorvino. She went from one of the most in-demand actresses after winning her Oscar, to being completely blacklisted because Weinstein was telling anyone who'd listen that she was a diva and impossible to work with.

When Peter Jackson was still making LotR through Miramax, Weinstein told him not to hire Judd or Sorvino, and Jackson believed him. Even when the movies eventually moved to New Line Cinema, he still believed what Weinstein had told him, and wouldn't work with them.

When #MeToo started snowballing, Jackson remembered what Weinstein had told him about the two and apologized to them for it.

Dixie Chicks. This one still infuriates me, how come they got banned from country music stations but Hank Williams Jr. didn't after all that racist garbage he spewed about president Obama, I still listen to classic country but people and the stations are hypocrites.

She isn’t full on canceled but what Kesha went through was so messed up. Not only was she abused but her abuser was part of the record label and she wasn’t able to leave her contract.

I think Wynona Rider got cancelled from the spotlight for a long time (until Stranger Things) for some shoplifting. Sure, its s#$%^y but we’re all human.

Ingrid Berman was unhappily married to a doctor, Peter Lindstrom, with whom she had one child, Pia. In the late 1940s she had an affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini. When news of the affair broke she lost all her contracts, her husband took her daughter, and the scandal was so intense US senators gave speeches condemning her on the Senate floor.

Because of the fallout she wasn't allowed to see her daughter Pia for seven years, and didn't make a Hollywood movie for seven years as well (She returned in Anastasia).

Corey Feldman. Truly breaks my heart. I had the chance to get to know him when I was a kid in 2000. He was pretty normal then. Because of what the industry did to him he always made sure that i was being taken care of on set and that I was protected from the same monstrosities. I think Haim dying really f#$%@d him up again. I will always be so grateful of how he looked out for me and I hope he gets the help he needs.

Hayden Christensen did nothing wrong. No actor should be maligned for decisions made by the writers and director.

Liam Neeson. The man isn’t just an incredible actor he’s an amazing human being who gives selflessly and asks for nothing. But because he admitted to having a racially violent thought way back when, when he was much younger and much more naive, a thought he literally said he was ashamed he’d ever had in the first place, the piece of s#$t journalist interviewing him twisted the narrative to make Liam look like a racist just to make a name for himself.

Megan Fox deserved better than the way media constantly sexualised her and ignored anything she had to say. She has numerous interviews trying to talk about being uncomfortably sexualised by Michael Bay when she was a teenager but the audience and interviewer would just cheer as if she wasn’t talking about predatory behaviour. Megan Fox is so smart and eloquent NOT the bimbo Hollywood would have you believe.

Rebecca Black. Everyone was so mean over Friday. She was THIRTEEN and deserved better.
