Top 10 Celebrities Who Most Ruined Their Careers in 2022
In an era of constant scrutiny and the unforgiving nature of the internet, it's not uncommon to see celebrities experience a downfall due to their actions. As public figures, they are held to high standards, and any misstep can quickly spiral into a massive scandal. The year 2022 was no exception, as we saw some of the most notable and influential personalities in the entertainment industry face serious consequences for their behavior. Here are the celebrities that have gotten accused and cancelled for unacceptable behavior that caused (huge) controversies in 2022, which might even lead up to the destruction and downfall of their careers. This top ten list highlights the shocking moments that left us all questioning the actions of these once-admired stars.She lied under oath, and evidence shown in court proved that she not only gaslighted Mr. Johnny Depp but also did all she could to ruin his reputation, take as much of his fortune as possible, and use him to try to make herself more valuable as an actress. However, she showed on the stand that she couldn't act at all.
She physically abused him from the moment she found out she wasn't in his will until the day they divorced and even beyond. She abused him verbally, as proven through recordings.
It's going to be interesting to see what her career will look like in the coming years. I doubt she'll get many roles, if any.
If she does land one, the project will probably get a lot of online backlash.
Update: Kanye West has ruined his career even more. He was interviewed on Alex Jones's InfoWars, a far-right fake news TV network. But that's not the worst part. He openly praised Adolf Hitler during the interview and explained how he was a good guy, while Jones cringed at what he was saying.
He is now banned from Twitter after posting a picture of a swastika inside a Star of David, a symbol of Judaism. This makes me wonder: how low can a pathetic excuse of a human being go? He literally ruined his entire career in just one interview and tweet. I think Kanye is going insane by now.
On March 27, 2022, at the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith went too far by slapping Chris Rock over a joke about his wife's bald head. This incident, coupled with Smith's infamous comment, "Keep my wife's name out of your mouth," garnered significant attention and backlash overnight and the following day.
This was probably the biggest TV scandal since Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's Super Bowl incident in 2004. Less than two weeks later, Smith was officially banned from any Academy Award ceremonies for ten years. He is in his wall of shame right now and must either remain canceled or make a huge comeback.
Boris Johnson faced accusations and backlash for breaching COVID-19 regulations by throwing a lockdown Christmas party in 2020. Despite his apology, people still accuse him of being a liar and are calling for his resignation.
I hope this sorry excuse for a clown gets banished from the UK permanently. One of the worst prime ministers ever.
Not all politicians are cut out to lead. He's one.
I hope Miller gets his act together.
He has anger issues and serious mental problems. He needs to go to a mental health facility.
Joe Rogan faced significant controversy when he spread misinformation about COVID-19 on his Spotify podcast. Neil Young threatened to remove his entire catalog from Spotify if Rogan didn't delete the podcast. However, it was too late, as Young pulled his music, followed by Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills & Nash. Rogan was also criticized that year for using a racial slur.
Considering he still gets plenty of celebrities on his podcast, I wouldn't say he ruined his career. Sometimes controversy creates cash.
I wouldn't say he has ruined his career to this point, but it seems likely. Since he purchased Twitter, many users have left the platform.
DaBaby faced controversy again when he and his crew beat up DaniLeigh's brother at a bowling alley in February this year. Surveillance footage of a shooting in Huntersville that he was involved in four years ago was also released two months later. However, the main reason he's still being canceled is his homophobic remarks.
This ugly homophobic 500-toothed dinosaur should be A LOT higher on this list.
Anything to keep himself in the headlines.
He is very dumb and weird and believes in conspiracy theories. He needs to get his brain examined.
Why isn't this guy at the top of the list?
We all have family members with drug issues, but he sure makes the Biden family look bad.
Kurt Zouma was filmed physically abusing his cat at home, which led to significant backlash for his horrendous treatment of the animal. Despite his apology, his reputation was severely damaged. He was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and banned from owning a pet for five years by the British court.
Abuses an animal when he looks like an animal himself. Shame on you, Kurt Zouma.
Should be number one. Most evil man alive. Hope he's dead by this time next year.
The cost of doing right in the wrong political party.
I'm not too familiar with what was going on around R. Kelly in the past. Maybe there were some controversies and allegations going around that time, so do let me know for clarification.
That said, the guy's been found guilty of engaging in pedophilia as well as kidnapping, trafficking, and sexual exploitation. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
R. Kelly needs to be in 1st place. What he did was absolutely awful, and he was a continuous practitioner of these acts. Because of that, his music career is more or less dead or will be overshadowed by what he did.
A poundshop comedian at best and a poor man's Chris Farley, James Corden is disliked by far superior comedians who write their own jokes, such as Ricky Gervais and Stewart Lee. While fellow comedian Peter Kay is known to be kind, Corden is seen as arrogant, rude, and insufferable, often ingratiating himself with more famous celebrities to gain publicity. Many find him quite unlikeable.
Since the incident at Balthazar in New York, more people have realized James Corden isn't as nice as he appears. Although he apologized to the restaurant staff after being banned, the incident hurt his reputation.
Reminder to self: if you're a celebrity, don't talk about controversial topics to avoid being Rowlinged. Honestly, Harry Potter pretty much ruined my life. It's just a series where people find joy in the magical world because their own lives suck. Sorry to ruin everything for you, adult Harry Potter fans.
It's really sad to see that the author of one of the most beloved sagas has ruined her career with her transphobic rhetoric.
Imagine a pizza box leading to your arrest. Rate Jerry's Pizza 5 stars.
It all started in early 2022 when Dr. Dre, his mentor when signed to Aftermath, preferred 50 Cent over The Game. The Game got mad over this and later claimed he was "way better than Eminem."
When he released Drillmatic: Heart & Mind, it included a 10-minute diss track aimed at Eminem, named "The Black Slim Shady." It also targeted Dre, 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, and even Eminem's daughter, Hailie, who is pursuing her own profession, not rap.
This diss track has failed to become as successful as MGK's "Rap Devil," so Eminem is not going to respond. Being silent is a harder diss than dropping a diss track.
Who does he think he is making racist comments to Lewis Hamilton? He's not even relevant in 2022.
He used a racial slur towards Lewis Hamilton during a podcast and received a lot of backlash for that.
Had he remained CEO of Disney any longer, he might have made the foolish decision to replace Epcot's Morocco pavilion with another country in a desperate attempt to make more money. Such a move would likely have backfired due to unprecedented backlash from fans.
I will NEVER forgive him for that one comment he made about animation being only for kids and having no appeal for adults. Thank goodness he is no longer in charge of Disney!
Simply put, she makes Nicki Minaj look like Taylor Swift.
In January this year, a woman filed a civil lawsuit against Chris Brown, alleging inappropriate conduct on a yacht in Miami in December 2020. However, Brown denied the allegations. It's unclear if these claims are true. Many people are canceling Chris Brown this year, as he has struggled to remain relevant, particularly since the 2009 incident with Rihanna.
