I count Will smith. if I want jokes about certain character aspects, I watch late night comedy clubs. the guy even apologized for losing it and that should have been that.
@@herobrinesbestminion6766 Are you talkin' about the Fresh Prince episode where Will bombed in a comedy club and DL Hughley had to saved him? I swore he was a rapper first before Will became an actor.
Anyone who bullied Jake Lloyd for Star Wars has no right to call themselves a Star Wars fan. It’s not his fault! How did he know that this was gonna be a bad movie? Honestly any kid actor who played Anakin would have had the same fate.
Especially the ones at his school, those are the ones he had to see. The rest are at most strangers and can be ignored but the ones he saw everyday at school are the true despicable ones who ruin this kid life. I am certain some of them are appalled at their actions now and probably try to apologize.
Me too. I once saw a TH-cam vid, of him at a Fan-Con or some kind, and he was introduced and came onstage and about 50% of the audience started booing him! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He may not have been the best child actor but never deserved all the hate. I never thought he was that bad.....
Brendan Fraser should also be on this list too. Just like with Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino nearly lost their careers after rejecting Harvey Weinstein, Brendan's career was partly derailed after he was groped by HFPA President Philip Berk at a Golden Globes luncheon, and rejected Berk's advances. He also got into a messy divorce with his first wife, and it eventually got to where he couldn't make the insane alimony payments. So those were two morons who nearly ruined his career. But given his resurgence in popularity thanks to roles in The Whale and Doom Patrol, he's slowly putting that insanity behind him.
Courtney Love was really good in "The People vs. Larry Flynt." She also famously told a red-carpet reporter, when asked if she had any advice for up-and-coming stars, "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a meeting in his suite at the Four Seasons, don't go."
Wow, Orlando Bowen's story is just heartbreaking! Being falsely arrested for drug possession AND getting a concussion that ends his career?!?!?! That's not fair at all.
I'll bet those cops who arrested and manhandled him were white cops who accused him of something he didn't do because he was black. And some people have the nerve to say that systemic racism DOESN'T EXIST! How ignorant and uninformed can one get?
To be honest my Mom and I are normally the type of people to stand up for police because there have been some so-called police brutality that people judge police on. But in Orlando Bowen's case yeah even I can't deny that's most definitely police brutality. :(
@@wesmcinerny4524 If this keeps going then chances of musicans verbally degrading social media via their songs will be huge. Especially if you are Stratovarius, Epica, Brymir, Nightwish, etc
What happened to Jake Lloyd, and also Ahmed Best i might add, really makes me sick, it's one thing to dislike the characters they have played but going so far as to bullying and make death threats to the actors is just being assholes. I really wish i could give those two a hug and also give a huge slaps to every morons who ruined their lives.
@@white-dragon4424 What you just said reminds me of the tale of The Wolf and The Lamb, it's a short tail in which a wolf see a lamb from below drinking water, rather than just go to kill and eat the lamb the wolf screams at him that he's making the water dirty for the wolf by drinking from it. The lamb points out gently that it is not possible because the water goes from the wolf to the lamb and not the other way around, so the wolf accuses the lamb o having isulted him a year ago but again the lamb points out that he wasn't even born. After that the wolf accuses the father's lamb of insulting him instead and the lamb gently apologized on behalf of his father, instead of accepting the apology the wolf decided instead of kill the lamb using such excuse to do so. The moral of the story is that evil persons find every excuses possible to hurt innocents people, no matter how absurd they are, because they are cowards, such is the case with the wolf because he could have just killed the lamb and eaten him because he was hungry but instead he lost time to justify his action in every way possible instead of admitting that he wanted to kill the lamb to eat it. This fact can be applied to every bullies you can think of, including the ones of Jake lloyd.
Actually, this what happened which did not involved Nancy Reagan. Back in the late 1960's, Eartha Kitt attended a white house luncheon (LBJ was President at that time) and while there she spoke out against the Vietnam War. The comment she made, set back her career in America for years. Plus, the CIA spied on her and created a very negative file about her.
Fun fact: the first aunt Viv was replaced by the woman they wanted in the first place, but turned down because she didn't wanna work with rappers at the time
As far as my memory serves, Lance Bass was one of the first celebrities I remember coming out as gay. At the time there were a lot of people on the fence or on both sides of the fence but slowly more and more celebrities started to come out of the closet and that was really inspiring to see. I don't know if his coming out publicly had a major play in other celebrities coming out, but I'd like to think it was a factor in helping them to some extent. I think every time someone shows bravery like that it inspires other people even if the reaction isn't immediate. I'm saddened that him coming out took away some business opportunities that he had lined up and in some ways cast him into the shadows because while there was support, there was also criticism and backlash just because he was willing to share his truth with everyone openly. It makes it even sadder knowing that even though we've come such a long way even since Lance coming out, there are still so many people afraid to come out for a lot of reasons and even those in Hollywood that are still terrified to come out of the closet still because of the fear of what coming out will do to their career and to their reputation. :( No one should ever be judged differently based on who they choose to love. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I always thought he was gay or at the least bi-sexual. He projects latent homosexuality hiding behind a facade of a wannabe tough guy. It will eventually come out like John Travolta.
I have been through a similar situation as the football player Orlando! He talks about forgiveness but for me it's really hard to do those cops ruined my life completely!! It's hard for me to get a decent paying job I was in school at the time for dental hygiene and had to stop that completely since I can't work in that field as a felon ! I DIDNT HAVE ANY DRUGS ON ME !! AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN VENDICATED OF THE CRIME I DID NOT COMMIT!!
I feel so horrible for this guy no man should have to be on this position not unjustly treated you are innocent until proven guilty but this unjustly arrest cut his playing days and cost him a lot of loss of pay not only that it out a indighment on his character which I believe he was a honest decent man and was robbed and black mark against his name forever God bless you love Anthony Fed ex lol
I know a lot of people consider Malcolm X as Denzel Washington’s greatest performance but for me my favorite Denzel Washington performance is as Ruben “Hurricane” Carter. I feel everyone should watch that movie.
Alfonso Ribeiro(Carlton) mentioned during a convention that Janet Hubert wouldn't just fight with Will, she would fight with a lot of people backstage.
A lot of these are familiar. Weinstein could get his own list. I remember talk of Ashley Judd being 'difficult' back in the day. Some are new to me however. I didn't know about Will Smith's ego having to do with recasting aunt Viv. Same with the CFL player. That was both sad and insightful. I didn't know Jenna from The Bachelor got vindicated. The most dangerous thing a celebrity can have is an opinion.
Wow will Smith showing he's a bad guy again - he literally was semi directly responsible for the first actor to not get work for decades, potentially losing her millions AND THEN giving a sad pathetic little apology
Jake Lloyd got into a high-speed car chase out of Charleston on the same day of the Emanuel Shooting. Some people around town believed he was involved at the time it had happened before we got answers.
I'd add Mia Martini. Stupid and unfounded rumors of her bringing bad luck not only ruined her career but drove her to depression and ultimately, to suicide.
I felt really bad for Jake Lloyd because of how much bullied he got at school and then got arrested for high speed chase and has schizophrenia because of what happened I feel so bad for Jake and I couldn’t believe how he was treated in public and I felt he didn’t deserve to be treated like shit in public I’m so mad at the people who bullied Jake
I was never a celebrity. I was never going to be a celebrity. I had some potential for a good life and career, but my life was messed up as well. In my case however, the mess-ups were my own damned fault. Poor judgment earlier in life. Dumb decisions I made. I have no one to blame for how I turned out but myself. And I can live with that and move on. I live a modest life but I am happy with it. But how much harder it must be to have been someone who could have been rich and famous, and it was all ruined not by my own dumb mistakes but because of someone else's mistakes. My God, I don't know if I could live with *that* at all. I would hate to be the one who caused someone else to fail. At least (afaik anyway) I don't have anything like that to deal with (never married; never had kids, never had a job where someone's happiness or safety depended on me, etc.). I think I am much happier having no one to blame for how my life turned out but me.
It’s too bad that someone like Orlando Bowen can’t sue the hell out of the police officer who wrongfully arrested him and ended his football career. He deserved so much better.
Winona Ryder has her career destroyed by a scandal by shoplifting was the last time she was last seen,her final movie was Mr.Deeds stars Adam Sandler but this one tops them all,Fred Savage was fired from The Wonder Years reboot because he sexually abused by his female producer,was the final straw,but he left us with memorable roles in both Television Shows and Movies.
What are you talking about? Winona's career has been fine since the shoplifting scandal. She's been in several movies and TV shows since then, including Star Trek, Black Swan, and, of course, Stranger Things.
Ryder pretty much did it to herself. That shoplifting video that "scandalized" her is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. She was wandering around a swanky department store with armloads of expensive clothes, ripped the tags off then tried to walk out with it.
@@MDStallings7 I think the other commenter meant that after that theft, she lost her catchet after that, because when that happened she was at the Height of her Fame,after that she seemed like a Gary Busey type kook. Cause why would someone that rich and famous have to shoplift?
@Filmation77 No, the person literally said her career was destroyed after the scandal and that her final film was Mr. Deeds. That's straight up factually incorrect. Her image took a hit, but her career was nothing close to destroyed, and she's been starring in plenty of acclaimed properties since then. Likewise, the point of the video is careers ruined by other people. Ryder did it to herself, as others have stated. So either way you look at it, the comment makes no sense.
I watched Victorious when it was on Nickelodeon, and while Victoria Justice was quite a decent singer, Ariana Grande was a better singer. I also think after the show ended she focused more on her acting career, appearing in an MTV show, but it got canceled after one season. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande was already releasing her first music album at the same time she was starring in Sam and Cat, and after that show ended she plowed into her music career full time.
@@728huey I guess you don't know about the dumb rumor that made dumb stans hate her? Go search for it on your own time because it's too long to explain.
well at the time we weren't, but time proved the dixie chicks right. so much so, the Grammys decided to give them album of the year in 06/7 I think and Obama gets a Nobel for not being Bush.
Will apologized after 30 years. Yea after the majority of her adult life and the damage to her career had been damaged beyond repair. Means little when she cant get it back. He had already won and imo only brought her back to slap her in the face with that "apology".
Jake LLOYD was a truly tragic case. I hope he can regain some emotional stability and I hope George Lucas is quietly paying for ALL of his endless medical bills. As an aside, a list of actors who’s careers were ruined by the ‘me too’ movement would be warranted
@@beautifulmidnight NO - the opposite- the actors who complained about abuse or harassment had THEIR careers cut short. Kevin Spacey is the only actor to be ruined by these allegations plus Harvey Weinstein.
WatchMojo YOU have a lot of nerve putting Jake Lloyd here after unfairly constantly bashing the prequels. YOU were part of the problem as you encouraged the toxic nerd crowd.
Part of me Being a star wars Fan was thanks to Jake lloyd and his role as Anakin Skywalker anyone who mess with him should be the ones getting a force choke also Jenna Cooper and Ashley Judd Deserve better as well (the others on this list too)
Facts. Poor guy, those so called 'fans' who hated on the prequels are still oblivious to their actions today. Prequel haters who harassed Jake Lloyd, Ahmed Best, and Hayden don't deserve to call themselves star wars fans. WatchMojo even contributed to the bullying back in the day. It makes me feel sick, no actor deserves that.
I may not be a fan of Anakin in general, but the fact that the actor was bullied for the lines and character he was given (I'm assuming) is beyond stupid. Yes, the lines are awful, and yes, the character was a child flirting with someone at least TWICE his age...But it's not the ACTOR's reality! He was just doing a job given by superiors to make a little money and help a continuously growing franchise! I feel bad for him; All that trauma, and I feel like that could be one reason why things went super downhill for him...Of course, I don't know his whole life story, but still...It just adds up to me. And to know that a member of a popular boy band came out as gay, only to get backlash...Ugh...Again, it's his life and he clearly still loved performing! Why someone's orientation or identity would affect their career escapes me, even with the amount of -phobes lingering. It's just wrong, and should honestly be illegal to deny someone just for their being different from you regarding...Tbh, anything. Try again when he comes out as a murderer or rapist.
Jake Lloyd was one of the cutest kids I had ever seen on screen and was very talented. It really breaks my heart what he had to go through at that young age. Hope he's doing well now.
I have a bright idea. Maybe you should translate a list about best anime in 2022? I am sure Poles will enjoy this video, especially it includes highly acclaimed anime based on Polish game "Cyberpunk". Anime songs, that broke the Internet also would be very interesting for Polish viewers.What do you think?
Jake Lloyd should be higher, because not only his movie career was ruined, his life since high school was ruined, he was bullied by the stupid Star Wars fandom. He has refused to watch anymore Star Wars because of childhood trauma! Also Roseanne Barr should be on this list for being wrongfully cancelled by her stupid producers and costars, she’s be blacklisted by Hollywood clowns!
I feel bad for Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best. Ahmed was suicidal because all the dumb critics. The prequels were great in my opinion, and gets too much hate. Jake Lloyd was a child man, he didn’t deserve that hate because of a movie. I really hope Jake gets the help he needs because it’s sick.
I instantly thought about those two when Kelly Marie Tran was getting bullied. Shows people still haven't changed. It's okay to not like the prequels and the sequels, but these actors don't chose to have their characters poorly written. They just took a job.
You forgot Jason David Frank, who killed himself due to his soon to divorce and lies his wife said about him. She stated he cheated on her and beat her which was never true. It tarnished his reputation and he was in severe depression. He thought noone cared or was there for him.
@@Militarymight101 it was a suicide due to severe depression, and from the false accusations that tarnished his name by her. She said he cheated on her, a close friend of JDF denied those accusations cuz he was with him almost all the time. She said he was physically abusive to her, but all videos I have seen is him getting mad after she did things that were effed up.
The same who disagree also have a firm belief that Matt Lanter is the only Ani that mattered. Don't get me wrong. Lanter killed in in the Clone Wars but everyone's acting of the same character deserves no comparison
I don't think the Janet Hubert situation was that simple. Over the years it's been shown that Will wasn't the only cast member who had a problem with her behavior on set. The entire cast seemed to have hard feelings towards her, and she refused to except responsibility for herself.
I recall some comments from Alfonso Ribeiro. He said the whole cast was like a family, except Janet. Even the late James Avery said that she was often difficult
@@Barricade379 Not just Smith and Riberio... she had beef with the entire cast, even years later. The person who did defended her was Tantyana Ali... but then Huber then accused her and the entire cast for not defending her.
Hulk Hogan should be on the list. I mean, he was blacklisted from the WWE Hall of Fame from 2015-2018 because of Gawker leaking him uttering the N word.
Katherine Heigl she ruined her career by bashing the very movie she was in Knocked up, saying the movie paints women as shrews, humorless and uptight, while the men are painted as “lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys.” Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
I knew a girl that worked on set with Heigl and said she was one of the biggest bitches she'd ever been around extremely demeaning to anyone not on her level. She's good in firefly lane though.
Heigl needed to grow up. She has suffered from her missteps & mis-speaks. I am impressed that she is still working, she has talent and learned some hard lessons.
If there was anything "moronic" involving The Dixie Chicks, it was not running what they were going to do with a PR manager. A local radio personality here where I live has quipped, "Before you click send, ask a friend." They failed to understand their audience and paid the consequences.
But I think they were partly vindicated as the reason for going to Iraq- the search for weapons of mass destruction within the borders- turned out to be fruitless.
It just bothered me that they said this to a European audience. It wouldn’t bother me if it happened on an American stage. And by the way, European forces in WWI destabilized the Middle East when they dismantled the Ottoman Empire without any stabilization afterwards, not America.
Anytime somebody messes with your relationship it's not enough to say whoops sorry that's not true. I think you knew that when you put it out there. Always thought the Communist thing pushed too hard and once you're accused you're done (like somebody else who basically gets blamed for having a certain last name). I am glad that the reason the football player couldn't play anymore wasn't because of suspension.
I feel so bad for the kid who played Anakin. EDIT: The movie was good, and all those people who talked crap about the sequel trilogy before seem to love them now! Revenge of the Sith is fursure the best SW movie. Lol
The house committee of Unamerican activities is something a few Maga congressman and Senators have said they’d love to bring back. That’s absolutely disgusting and evil.
Morons didn't ruin The Dixie Chicks they ruined themselves doing that, especially at that time. To give an example it'd be like a celebrity today attacking the Trans community they'd be blacklisted immediately

I always thought he was gay or at the least bi-sexual. He projects latent homosexuality hiding behind a facade of a wannabe tough guy. It will eventually come out like John Travolta.

In my case however, the mess-ups were my own damned fault. Poor judgment earlier in life. Dumb decisions I made. I have no one to blame for how I turned out but myself. And I can live with that and move on. I live a modest life but I am happy with it. But how much harder it must be to have been someone who could have been rich and famous, and it was all ruined not by my own dumb mistakes but because of someone else's mistakes. My God, I don't know if I could live with *that* at all. I would hate to be the one who caused someone else to fail. At least (afaik anyway) I don't have anything like that to deal with (never married; never had kids, never had a job where someone's happiness or safety depended on me, etc.). I think I am much happier having no one to blame for how my life turned out but me.
1:13 Should've made Watchmojo's Top 10 Breaking the 4th Wall List.
I just heard the opening tagline, and I don't know if she's on this list yet, but Sinead O'Connor.
YES.
She deserved so much better.
It’s too bad that someone like Orlando Bowen can’t sue the hell out of the police officer who wrongfully arrested him and ended his football career. He deserved so much better.
Winona Ryder has her career destroyed by a scandal by shoplifting was the last time she was last seen,her final movie was Mr.Deeds stars Adam Sandler but this one tops them all,Fred Savage was fired from The Wonder Years reboot because he sexually abused by his female producer,was the final straw,but he left us with memorable roles in both Television Shows and Movies.
What are you talking about? Winona's career has been fine since the shoplifting scandal. She's been in several movies and TV shows since then, including Star Trek, Black Swan, and, of course, Stranger Things.
Ryder pretty much did it to herself. That shoplifting video that "scandalized" her is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. She was wandering around a swanky department store with armloads of expensive clothes, ripped the tags off then tried to walk out with it.
@@MDStallings7 Plus she ruined her own career by shoplifting.
@@MDStallings7 I think the other commenter meant that after that theft, she lost her catchet after that, because when that happened she was at the Height of her Fame,after that she seemed like a Gary Busey type kook. Cause why would someone that rich and famous have to shoplift?
@Filmation77 No, the person literally said her career was destroyed after the scandal and that her final film was Mr. Deeds. That's straight up factually incorrect. Her image took a hit, but her career was nothing close to destroyed, and she's been starring in plenty of acclaimed properties since then.
Likewise, the point of the video is careers ruined by other people. Ryder did it to herself, as others have stated. So either way you look at it, the comment makes no sense.
Honorable mention: Janet Jackson
What's wrong with her ?
@@aidanhever3369 she got blacklisted because of a wardrobe malfunction that wasn’t her fault it was Justin Timberlake’s
Oh c'mon. She's a trainwreck.
@@thingfish000 because of somebody else.
The wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl halftime show wasn’t her fault!
I know it's the least depressing compared to everyone on the list, but Victoria Justice, at least as far as a music career.
I watched Victorious when it was on Nickelodeon, and while Victoria Justice was quite a decent singer, Ariana Grande was a better singer. I also think after the show ended she focused more on her acting career, appearing in an MTV show, but it got canceled after one season. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande was already releasing her first music album at the same time she was starring in Sam and Cat, and after that show ended she plowed into her music career full time.
@@728huey
I guess you don't know about the dumb rumor that made dumb stans hate her? Go search for it on your own time because it's too long to explain.
Ashley Judd was and still is beautiful.
Jake Lloyd was a victim of bad writing. He did his best, and frankly, Jake's portrayal of Anakin was better than Hayden's.
Bruh facts tbh I actually enjoyed the phantom menace. I did NOT enjoy jar jar binks tho he was terrible
So Hayden doesn't get a pass because he's older?
I think it's best for us all to just forget the worst aspects of the Star Wars prequels, because there are too many.
@@thingfish000 In the end, ONLY Clone Wars Ani mattered
Hayden's performance was better and Jake wasn't bad for a kid
I’m not ready to make nice! By The Chicks - That song! So good!
Anyone who got mad at the Dixie Chicks for being embarrassed by the president is kidding themselves. We were all embarrassed.
Ask Jane Fonda about running your mouth when you're overseas.
It took a long time before she was finally able to shed her "Hanoi Jane" reputation.
well at the time we weren't, but time proved the dixie chicks right. so much so, the Grammys decided to give them album of the year in 06/7 I think and Obama gets a Nobel for not being Bush.
Will apologized after 30 years. Yea after the majority of her adult life and the damage to her career had been damaged beyond repair. Means little when she cant get it back. He had already won and imo only brought her back to slap her in the face with that "apology".
The hurricane Carter movie is excellent! So is the song by Bob Dylan. LOL
I kinda feel like you could’ve given all the Harvey victims at one spot
Colin Kaepernick called...He wants to know why he wasn't on this list.
4:51 this is true man. i agree with you.
It's always so sad to see how gay men are treated. I agree with the nephews, "why do ppl care so much"? It's no ones business but your own!
Anyone “cancelled” by stupid people on social media *coughs* Twitter
OMG the Dixie chicks scandal was a train wreck you could not turn away from
Poor Janet Jackson 😔
Jake LLOYD was a truly tragic case. I hope he can regain some emotional stability and I hope George Lucas is quietly paying for ALL of his endless medical bills. As an aside, a list of actors who’s careers were ruined by the ‘me too’ movement would be warranted
You mean actors who faced consequences for sexual assault/harassment?
Sure. Let’s see that list.
@@beautifulmidnight NO - the opposite- the actors who complained about abuse or harassment had THEIR careers cut short. Kevin Spacey is the only actor to be ruined by these allegations plus Harvey Weinstein.
Rule number one about films guys, specifically about not liking them, DON'T TAKE OUT YOUR FRUSTRATION ON THE ACTOR.
Marisa Tomei after winning the Cousin Vinnie Oscar...
WatchMojo YOU have a lot of nerve putting Jake Lloyd here after unfairly constantly bashing the prequels. YOU were part of the problem as you encouraged the toxic nerd crowd.
I guess some people hate some celebrities
A LOT of people hate anyone more successful than them.
Part of me Being a star wars Fan was thanks to Jake lloyd and his role as Anakin Skywalker anyone who mess with him should be the ones getting a force choke also Jenna Cooper and Ashley Judd Deserve better as well (the others on this list too)
Facts. Poor guy, those so called 'fans' who hated on the prequels are still oblivious to their actions today. Prequel haters who harassed Jake Lloyd, Ahmed Best, and Hayden don't deserve to call themselves star wars fans. WatchMojo even contributed to the bullying back in the day. It makes me feel sick, no actor deserves that.
@@Uchiha-fi4ij Question then: what would you say to those who believe that only Matt Lanter is worthy of portraying Anakin??
I think Isabella Sermon the actress who played maisie in the Jurassic world movies was treated unfairly
“It felt like I fired myself” - Will Smith
I may not be a fan of Anakin in general, but the fact that the actor was bullied for the lines and character he was given (I'm assuming) is beyond stupid. Yes, the lines are awful, and yes, the character was a child flirting with someone at least TWICE his age...But it's not the ACTOR's reality! He was just doing a job given by superiors to make a little money and help a continuously growing franchise!
I feel bad for him; All that trauma, and I feel like that could be one reason why things went super downhill for him...Of course, I don't know his whole life story, but still...It just adds up to me.
And to know that a member of a popular boy band came out as gay, only to get backlash...Ugh...Again, it's his life and he clearly still loved performing! Why someone's orientation or identity would affect their career escapes me, even with the amount of -phobes lingering. It's just wrong, and should honestly be illegal to deny someone just for their being different from you regarding...Tbh, anything. Try again when he comes out as a murderer or rapist.
And even after the sequels were trashed the fandom are having fantasies of killing the actors of said sequels. The fandom refuses to learn crap
Jake Lloyd was one of the cutest kids I had ever seen on screen and was very talented. It really breaks my heart what he had to go through at that young age. Hope he's doing well now.
Hey WM, maybe you should do a separate list of 'Top 10 Celebrity Careers ruined by Harvey Weinstein'.
Michael Jackson should be on this list
The background music is a instrumental version of a song I heard in 8 mile isnt it?
I have a bright idea. Maybe you should translate a list about best anime in 2022?
I am sure Poles will enjoy this video, especially it includes highly acclaimed anime based on Polish game "Cyberpunk".
Anime songs, that broke the Internet also would be very interesting for Polish viewers.What do you think?
I stand by Lance Bass’ work voice acting Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts was a grand slam.
Thank you for mentioning John Garfield.
Jake Lloyd should be higher, because not only his movie career was ruined, his life since high school was ruined, he was bullied by the stupid Star Wars fandom. He has refused to watch anymore Star Wars because of childhood trauma! Also Roseanne Barr should be on this list for being wrongfully cancelled by her stupid producers and costars, she’s be blacklisted by Hollywood clowns!
I feel bad for Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best. Ahmed was suicidal because all the dumb critics. The prequels were great in my opinion, and gets too much hate. Jake Lloyd was a child man, he didn’t deserve that hate because of a movie. I really hope Jake gets the help he needs because it’s sick.
I instantly thought about those two when Kelly Marie Tran was getting bullied. Shows people still haven't changed. It's okay to not like the prequels and the sequels, but these actors don't chose to have their characters poorly written. They just took a job.
@@taracarroll4218 Daisy Ridley got bullied a lot too.
I absolutely love John Boyega for not taking *any* shit.
@@taracarroll4218 Now I understand why most wanna stay away from Hollywood and live as normal beings with normal jobs
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 Which can a real shame if acting was everything to them.
Johnny Depp
You forgot Jason David Frank, who killed himself due to his soon to divorce and lies his wife said about him. She stated he cheated on her and beat her which was never true. It tarnished his reputation and he was in severe depression. He thought noone cared or was there for him.
Oh so his death was a suicide? I heard people were made at his wife but didn't know why
@@Militarymight101 it was a suicide due to severe depression, and from the false accusations that tarnished his name by her. She said he cheated on her, a close friend of JDF denied those accusations cuz he was with him almost all the time. She said he was physically abusive to her, but all videos I have seen is him getting mad after she did things that were effed up.
What happened to Jake Lloyd proves why Star Wars fans are the absolute WOST!!
Michael Jackson deserves the #1 spot.
Phoebe is my favourite Watchmojo narrator.
Anyone who bullied Jake Lloyd is literally the opposite of a Star Wars fan. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong
The same who disagree also have a firm belief that Matt Lanter is the only Ani that mattered. Don't get me wrong. Lanter killed in in the Clone Wars but everyone's acting of the same character deserves no comparison
I don't think the Janet Hubert situation was that simple. Over the years it's been shown that Will wasn't the only cast member who had a problem with her behavior on set. The entire cast seemed to have hard feelings towards her, and she refused to except responsibility for herself.
I recall some comments from Alfonso Ribeiro. He said the whole cast was like a family, except Janet. Even the late James Avery said that she was often difficult
@@Barricade379 Not just Smith and Riberio... she had beef with the entire cast, even years later. The person who did defended her was Tantyana Ali... but then Huber then accused her and the entire cast for not defending her.
Hulk Hogan should be on the list. I mean, he was blacklisted from the WWE Hall of Fame from 2015-2018 because of Gawker leaking him uttering the N word.
He got back at them by winning in court, and the money they had to pay him ultimately bankrupted them.
Yup.
Wow, Wienstein ruined quite a few carreers. He should get sued for all his money.
There are people out there today that still believe Carter was guilty
John Garfield was a great actor I enjoyed all of his movies.
Katherine Heigl she ruined her career by bashing the very movie she was in Knocked up, saying the movie paints women as shrews, humorless and uptight, while the men are painted as “lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys.” Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Heigl too thought she was an A list actress and thought he deserved Julia Roberts/Meryl Streep $$$. FAIL
She also was rude and degrading about Grey's Anatomy which made her a damn celeb as well
I knew a girl that worked on set with Heigl and said she was one of the biggest bitches she'd ever been around extremely demeaning to anyone not on her level. She's good in firefly lane though.
@@69belhaven she needs a huge reality check for thinking she's on the likes of Sarah-Jessica Parker and Meryl Streep
Heigl needed to grow up. She has suffered from her missteps & mis-speaks. I am impressed that she is still working, she has talent and learned some hard lessons.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it.
Warren Buffett
Wish the women who brought justice to what Weinstien did weren't blacklisted
There needs to be a list of actress who were ruined by harvey Weinstein
@@frankieseward8667 and a list of those who got a"head" because of him.
If there was anything "moronic" involving The Dixie Chicks, it was not running what they were going to do with a PR manager. A local radio personality here where I live has quipped, "Before you click send, ask a friend." They failed to understand their audience and paid the consequences.
But I think they were partly vindicated as the reason for going to Iraq- the search for weapons of mass destruction within the borders- turned out to be fruitless.
They were victims of cancel culture that the far right remain hypocritically silent about.
It just bothered me that they said this to a European audience. It wouldn’t bother me if it happened on an American stage. And by the way, European forces in WWI destabilized the Middle East when they dismantled the Ottoman Empire without any stabilization afterwards, not America.
Ooooo
They should be nice to Jake Lloyd alone.
Anytime somebody messes with your relationship it's not enough to say whoops sorry that's not true. I think you knew that when you put it out there. Always thought the Communist thing pushed too hard and once you're accused you're done (like somebody else who basically gets blamed for having a certain last name). I am glad that the reason the football player couldn't play anymore wasn't because of suspension.
I feel so bad for the kid who played Anakin. EDIT: The movie was good, and all those people who talked crap about the sequel trilogy before seem to love them now! Revenge of the Sith is fursure the best SW movie. Lol
You forgot Johnny Depp's career being ruined by Amber Heard.
Johnny Depp ruined his own career.
Denzel Washington's fictitious character was innocent. Rubin Carter was guilty as sin
It was a good choice not to take number 8 as number 1 even if many thought that to. Jake Lloyd have sure enough to deal with
Did hear janet Hubert was difficult to work with
Jake Lloyd looks more like Darth Vader in the mugshot.
Orlando Bowen should've had a multi-million dollar settlement. That won't give him his job back, but at least some of his potential earnings.
The house committee of Unamerican activities is something a few Maga congressman and Senators have said they’d love to bring back. That’s absolutely disgusting and evil.
Oh damn I didn't know that song hurricane was about a real person!
Morons didn't ruin The Dixie Chicks they ruined themselves doing that, especially at that time. To give an example it'd be like a celebrity today attacking the Trans community they'd be blacklisted immediately
Michael Jackson should have been in here.
Making a child perform should be seen as child abuse because that's what it is
