People like to say that celebrities are just like us, regular folks. But a non-famous person could probably never get away with the things some famous people have done. More and more people are becoming aware of cancel culture, as 61% of American adults say they're familiar with the term.

Being rude to a waiter is definitely jerk behavior. But the things that folks have shared in one online thread recently were actual crimes. "What is some shady info about a celeb that everyone seems to have forgotten about?" one person asked. After you read these, you may never look at many celebrities the same way again.
