Do you know what, for example, Macaulay Culkin, Britney Spears, Galileo Galilei and maybe Antonio Salieri have in common? There is one unobvious detail that unites them all. At different times, tons of public condemnation fell upon these people, literally reaching hatred - although in reality, none of them, of course, deserved such feelings at all.
Nevertheless, it is obvious that society needs not only role models, but also targets for negativity, and it does not matter where this negativity is poured out - in the marketplaces of the Middle Ages, in the aristocratic salons of the 19th century, or in Reddit threads. And, unfortunately, history knows a lot of such people who completely undeservedly received mass hatred.
#21 Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette.
A well meaning, polite teen with next to zero knowledge of a world she wasn’t let near (by those who made the decisions for her). And then she was killed.

#22 Tara Reid

Tara Reid. She did not drive drunk. She did not kill anybody with her car. She did not get arrested. She partied a lot and her boob fell out. That’s it. Also, if memory serves, she was treated horribly by Carson Daly.

Sulli
She was a k-pop idol who was driven to [taking her own life] by from malicious netizens who hated her for being outspoken in a conservative society.
When she passed people even said she was just too weak.

#28 Rebecca Black

Rebecca Black. Got ROASTED hard at 14 years old for the song Friday. Patrice Wilson was the producer and got paid by both Black’s mom and a good chunk of the proceeds but he flew under the radar from the abuse. Granted, it’s a dumb song, but the hatred was immense for a 14 year old kid.

#29 Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps - IMO, he could have denied that picture of him smoking marijuana was actually him since it was unclear. At the end of the day he didn’t deny it and lost some serious endorsements if I remember right.
Not a big deal.

The guy who played Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson)
EDIT: if this is untrue then i'll be more than happy to be downvoted, that guy played his role to perfection.
