Image source: zvg_zwang, TheEllenShow Beyonce for not letting any parents into the NICU to see their sick and preemie babies just because it was on the same floor as her when Blue ivy was born. What a jerk. Edit: I know this seems trivial compared to most of these but I was home with my baby son watching the TV with all these parents standing in a line the hospital just hoping to see their babies and I was LIVID. Also remember that time she played HERSELF in Dreamgirls?

Image source: brandawg77, Jon Youshaei Logan Paul. You can’t just film a dead person who passed by taking their life and post it on the internet and then apologize a few months later. He exploited some poor families tragedy to get clicks on a YouTube video. He’s so selfish it’s disgusting. All the while making sure he had his Gucci jacket on. It’s just a disgusting level of privilege and unawareness. He’s also done a bunch of horrible stuff since.

Image source: Poptwo1234, TODAY Serena Williams lost in the US Open final and ruined the trophy ceremony for her opponent (20 y/o Naomi Osaka) who had just won her first major title in her career. Serena’s tirade on the mic during her speech when she received her 2nd place trophy led to making Osaka cry and APOLOGIZE to the crowd for WINNING. Was supposed to be the biggest moment of her (Osaka) life and Serena selfishly ruined it.

Image source: Free_Ganache_6281, Cineverse Woody Allen. You don’t just marry your adopted daughter and expect the world to just go with it.

#7

Image source: nonymau5, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Marky “racist’ Mark Wahlberg I will always call him Marky mark especially since he hates being referred to that. Not only is he racist but he also tried to get his record expunged when he became more famous one of the reasons he used was that he wanted to be a role model. Haha ?

#8

Image source: Trucrimeluvr67, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tom Cruise after he felt he needed to comment on Brook Shields postpartum depression when he had no clue what he was talking about.

#9

Image source: JFKsBrain, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Ariana Grande for licking those donuts and putting them back on the shelf. That’s disgusting. Pretty sure it was a small mom and pop store too.

#13

Image source: Kwyjibo68, Piers Morgan Uncensored Kevin Spacey for being a predator. I don’t care that he wasn’t convicted in the UK, I believe the people who say he did touch them, many of whom have never brought a case against him, so have no motivation to make false allegations.

#14

Michael Vick. What he put his own dogs through was bad enough, but then learning about the thousands of dogs that he drove around to find and steal from their yards to then hurt and train his fighting dogs with, the families that lost their companions to that nightmare…. It’s outright evil. He is a vile person who deserves to rot in the deepest pits of hell. There is no redemption from that level of cruelness. Straight up sociopathic/serial killer traits… And then seeing the NFL and ESPN try to help rehab his image… Frick them. He’s a coach now for Norfolk University in Virginia…. Solid values he holds to pass on to our youth. Image source: SaltyJake

R. Kelly. I don’t care where I am, if one of his songs comes on, I’m out. Can’t separate the art from the person anymore. Image source: Potential-Ad8665

#16

Image source: OneMoreTime998, Youth Inc. There’s obviously a lot of celebrities who have done way worse stuff, but I’ll say Wayne Gretzky. Grew up idolizing him like a lot of other Canadians, so when he refused to stand up for Canada and stuck with his pal Trump over his own country, he became dead to me. Haven’t been able to look at him the same since and never will.

#17

Image source: Individual_Force_241, Channel 4 News Noam Chomsky and His frienship with Epstein... went so far he defended Him and called hysteric the victims... betraying, virtu signalling sociopath...

#18

Image source: Mindless-Paint4885, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon That whole situation with Kutcher and Kunis made their anti-exploitation work feel like the most hollow, hypocritical performance imaginable.

Image source: _turd_ferg, Dark Reality Danny Masterson and friends.

#22

Image source: mystickyshoe, Steve TV Show I served Rachel Ray at a restaurant once. I made the mistake of 1) speaking directly to her (I asked if she wanted a refill on her water) and 2) touching her water glass as I refilled it (it was now dirty and she demanded a new glass). She complained about me to my manager about my lack of respect and tipped me nothing. Such a gross human.

#23

Image source: Helphaer, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Chris Pratt talking about forcing conservative evangelicalism on his kids.

Image source: AssumeImStupid All those years we thought Vince McMahon played an evil sleazy narcissistic CEO on tv, turns out he's actually just an evil sleazy narcissistic CEO in real life.

#25

My cousin used to work security at concerts. One of her jobs was basically to just go tell the singer when they were supposed to be going up to the stage. Kid Rock was rude as hell to her. So our family has been hating him before it was cool. Image source: ijustsailedaway

#26

Used to love red hot chilli peppers then I seen a video of them been really disgusting to a woman during an interview like all of them trying to pull and push this woman pretend they were having intercourse with her and I just can’t listen to them anymore. Also vile that her co-host did nothing to stop them just laughed. Image source: Mimmamoushe

#27

Not as heinous as others, but Hugh Jackman for talking up his marriage for decades then cheating on her with his costar. Tawdry. Image source: lizzzgrrr

#28

Wyclef Jean stole earthquake money that was supposed to be used to rebuild Haiti. Image source: rabbistravinsky

#29

Allison Mack. Being part of that cult and everything they did… just no. Image source: Apprehensive-List794

#30

Image source: plokijuhujiko, TIFF Jim Carrey. The anti-vax movement and subsequent sick or passed children, and inability to stop COVID, would have happened without him... But he gave it momentum. There are absolutely bodies on his name. That, and his insufferable attempt to tell the world how brilliant his bad performance as Andy Kaufman was, were a perfect one-two punch that made me never want to see his face again.

#31

Everyone implicated with Epstein. Neil Gaiman. Can’t even look at his books. I loved his writing so much and it kills me what a monster he is. Image source: sorandom21

For a real deep cut, Ian Watkins from lostprophets. what he did is so monstrous it completely destroyed any of the music for me. can't hear a single note without feeling sick. that's not something u can ever separate from the art or come back from. Image source: RelationshipFit3472
