Top 10 Most Hated Celebrities in France
These French celebrities are hated by many French people, for the right or wrong reasons.
Very unattractive, monstrous. He fled to Russia, which some consider worse than France. Russia is viewed negatively.
He was a beloved actor until the mid-2000s when he started receiving allegations of sexual assault and rape. He also had multiple road accidents, DUIs, and alcoholic outbursts that made headlines.
He also alienated a lot of people when he was granted a Russian passport by Vladimir Putin in 2013.
Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron (born December 21, 1977) is a French politician and former investment banker who has been serving as the President of France since 2017.
He became the youngest person in French history to be elected president, winning the election at the age of 39. Macron is a WEF puppet and has steered France down a slippery path at the expense of the legitimate citizens. The absurd immigration policies will haunt France, and it's become another country possessing "no-go" zones. At least he's not as incompetent and corrupt as Canada's Justin Trudeau, but it is time for him to go.
Every French president gets hate, but Macron has become the symbol of growing inequalities in France. He's also not as democratic as he pretends to be and is the reason why politics in France are doomed.
This French singer and rapper, formerly known as Maitre Gims, is best known for being the leader of the French rap group Sexion d'Assaut, which disbanded, and for his hugely successful solo career.

He was even booed by the audience when he performed a halftime show during the Coupe de la Ligue final in the Stade de France. He is also a conspiracy theorist who believes Egyptians received electricity with the Giza pyramids and told people to stop wishing him "happy new year."

This French-Malian singer has had tremendous success in France since the late 2010s. However, she's also widely hated for her shallow lyrics, her overuse of French suburban slang, and her attitude.
When she was announced as one of the performers for the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, she received a lot of racist attacks.
Marion Anne Perrine "Marine" Le Pen is a French politician and lawyer serving as President of the National Rally political party since 2011, with a brief interruption in 2017.

He is best known for Repulsion (1965), Rosemary's Baby (1968), and Chinatown (1974)... read more Creepy person. It's unfortunate that the industry is filled with creeps, predators, and scary people, overshadowing the talented and good individuals.
I can't believe this registered sex offender is somehow still allowed to make movies and be nominated at award ceremonies. His Director of the Year win at the 2020 Césars (the French Academy Awards) sparked massive outrage and made French actress Adèle Haenel, an outspoken feminist, quit cinema.

Since his release, he has started a new band called Détroit and released his first solo album. He even went on tour, which sparked massive outrage among the general public.
As if this were not enough, he was also reportedly abusive to Krisztina Rady, the mother of his kids, who took her own life in 2010.
This radio host is just creepy.
The former IMF boss was beloved and seen as the biggest contender to win the 2012 French presidential elections until his 2011 arrest for allegedly raping a hotel maid at the Sofitel in New York City.
This once-beloved French actor has recently come under fire for stating that men are becoming "too feminine," suggesting it could be a problem. Many have accused him of misogyny.

Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot is a French former actress, singer and fashion model, who later became an animal rights activist.

Karim Mostafa Benzema is a French professional footballer of Algerian descent who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the France national team as a striker. He may be beloved in the football world, but Benzema's history with French football team fans is very uneven. First, he was seen as a promising young player. Then, there was the Zahia scandal in 2010, where he admitted to having had a sexual relationship with the titular escort girl when she was still underage.
In late 2015, the "sextape blackmail" scandal broke out and tarnished his reputation. This caused him to be blacklisted by Didier Deschamps from the French national team between 2015 and 2021. His popularity may have gone up again since, but the French national team will always be a bit of a missed opportunity for him. His distant attitude with French football fans didn't help either.
