Independently testedUnbiased Demilked scoreFree to implementTools included
The public can be harsh and quick to judge when someone seemingly messes up. When public outcry is the result, the person who caused it usually ends up being quite notorious. Whether they deserve it or not becomes a moot point, as the target of public hatred rapidly realises their pariah state in society.
However, not everyone thinks these outcasts of society are worthy of being shamed anymore. Folks recently shared their opinions about several unfortunate people who became extremely unpopular with the masses but didn't deserve it. Be it controversial actors and singers to ordinary folks who were vilified, the list goes on as you can see, in the gallery below.

#1 Richard Jewel the guy discovered a bomb, saved countless lives, and was dragged through the mud by the fbi, and the press. When they vindicated him the damage had been done.

#2 Brendan Fraser

#3 Dr. Frankenstein's "monster." Grossly misunderstood.

#4 Nicholas Cage. So many people hate his acting. He might have picked the wrong movie here and there but there’s far more worse actors around than him these days!

#5 Greta Thunberg

#6 The woman who got burned with the McDonald’s coffee. That was a pretty horrific injury she got and this was not their first rodeo with high temp injuries.

#7 Anita Hill * I still believe her.

#8 Nickelback. They sound like so many other 2000s bands and I don’t get how the hate for them started

#9 Colin Kapernick

#10 Pamela Anderson, I'm so glad she's doing well these days because the world was absolutely horrible to her

#11 Sinead O Connor.... she was right all along.

#12 Vietnam Vets

#13 Janet jackson

#14 Jonny Depp. Amber Heard was unstable from day 1 and they blamed him for ever that happened without hearing her version in person. Just seeing her lying in court proved everyone wrong immediately.

#15 Jane Fonda, for being anti Vietnam War

#16 Jack Kevorkian. Death with dignity is important. He was a pioneer.

#17 Every woman named Karen

#18 PeeWee Herman

#20 Skeletor

#21 Monica Lewinsky

#22 Jack Gleeson, the guy portrayed the most punchable character (Joffrey Baratheon) in Game of Thrones and did his job so well people hated him for no reason.

#23 School Teachers

#24 Al Franken deserved a little shade, maybe - but not nearly the amount of backlash that he got. Currently serving politicians have done 100x worse.

#25 MC Hammer. He was called a sell out for doing a (Pepsi, I think) commercial and quickly became unpopular after that. Despite the fact that a bunch of artists made commercials after him and it didn’t matter.
