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.
However, as netizens like to say, cancel culture is not real. Otherwise, we wouldn't have famous people who have done some seriously heinous things continuing to work in the entertainment industry years after their transgressions.
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.

That Trisha Paytas dated and defended a p****hile, labeled herself as one multiple times in videos and on Twitter, threatened to k**l multiple partners, beat her now husband and held him against his will, lied about being trans, lied about having DID and schizophrenia, outted her ex Sean, filmed herself recreating the m****r of Jon Benet, made a music video dressed at the s***e from Django, made a song called Jungle Fever.... I don't have all day but that's just a few.

This is harmless compared to everything else here, but just as far as someone’s actions not matching their public image:
Julia Robert cancelled her wedding to actor Kiefer Sutherland just three days before the ceremony, then ran off to Ireland with his close friend Jason Patric.
Years later when she met her now-husband Danny Moder on a film set he was married, and left his wife for Julia.

In 1979, a 16 year old prostitute overdosed at Don Henley's home. He claimed he didn't know her age and didn't have s*x with her. I think he was put on probation but that was the end of it.

Jim Harbaugh left a coed stranded in the desert. They went to a Casino. She didn’t know he was married.
He had a Banana Yellow Corvette, deputy sheriff pulled him over for suspicion of drunk driving at 4am
When he realized who it was, he called and woke the sheriff on his personal cellphone to see what he should do… the sheriff told him to stall so he can sober up.
Then Harbaugh screamed, “don’t you know who the f**k I am“.
The sheriff heard this over the radio, and then said, “f**k him, bring him in.”
Harbaugh left the girl stranded in the desert with no money, no way to call anyone.
She finally made it back to U San Diego campus and called her father in tears.
The father was a big-time donor and was able to get the Harbaugh family home number. Jimmy was still in the drunk tank. The Missus was at 8am Mass and came home to a scathing message on the answering machine.
Jim found his items on the curb when he finally got out of jail and the locks were already changed.
The next morning, she filed for divorce.
Detail details are part of public record in San Diego County
The AD at USD was looking for a way to get Harbaugh out of there because the Boosters were complaining earlier in the season about the bush league tactics of Harbaugh (ie: throwing on 1st down in the 4th Q, with the starters still in and up 42-0 vs Butler). He finally found a taker, in Stanford.
At Stanford, Harbaugh rode his bicycle around campus, hitting on coeds. He ended up marrying one after getting her pregnant.

Ashton Kutcher went to pick up some chick he was casually seeing and found her m******d in her home, a victim of some serial k*ller that was hitting LA.
Instead of calling the police, he went to the car and asked his agent how to avoid bad PR, and didn't call it in. Let somebody else find her and call, and then pretended to be shocked.
ALLEGEDLY of course. He's an absolute f*****g s*****g, there's so much with him.

Brad Pitt's kids accused him of domestic v*****e against them and their mother, Angelina Jolie, onboard their private jet. No one batted an eye. Some of these kids won't even talk to him anymore. It kinda puts him in a league with Shia LaBeouf.

Noel Fielding (Boosh / Bake Off) "dated" Pixie Geldoff when she was 16 (and in the middle of her GCSEs), and he was 33 (technically legal in the UK, age of consent is 16). And it wasn't "a different time" back then. I remember the Boosh fandom was horrified that he was seeing a school girl.
He's also great mates with Russell Brand. So, erm, yeah. Not as wholesome as he presents.
