Real-life examples

Reasons for the fall from grace
There are various reasons why fans may have a change of heart about a celebrity they once admired:

Marion Zimmer Bradley, loved her books. Collected the rare ones. Adored them. Then found out she covered up for her paedophile husband & sexually abused her kids. Ruined the books & so many memories for me.
Really surprised I haven’t seen Neil Patrick Harris anywhere here. I used to absolutely love him. But then there was that Amy Winehouse cake. JFC
The lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Once I learned he shares his bed with an underage fan, I lost all respect for him.
Neil Patrick Harris after he served a cake at a party which was meant to be the corpse of Amy Winehouse.
I was a big Mila Kunis fan for a long time, but the letter thing was really disappointing
Tom Selleck. He stole water during the drought here in Southern California from a water hydrant. Lied about it and blamed it on his gardener – when Selleck had told him to do it. Got away with it and promised not to do it anymore. Immediately made his gardener do it again. Got snagged again. Selleck had to pay a hefty fine (over $21 Thousand). Selleck was so pissed that he got caught again, in fact 11 times, that he fired his gardener for doing what he demanded. What an entitled jerk!
Never really a fan but it caught me off guard seeing videos of Michael Bublé being a real abusive asshole to his wife.
I used to admire Leonardo diCaprio. That did not age well.
Ashton Kutcher, then he wrote a character reference for Danny Masterson and he has been by P diddys side so the ick came in fast.
Charlie Chaplin. I’m a senior sort of chap, and as a child I loved all the old black and white comedies – Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, etc
Then I read a biography of Chaplin. And another, as I thought the first was a hatchet job. It wasn’t. He was a true perv and nonce, who treated his family utterly vilely.
Elisabeth Moss – Scientology
Rock asking money for Hawaii along with Oprah. Get the f out of here.
Still mad about Ignition.
How you gonna ruin the best song for me?
Joss Whedon.
Cheated on his wife for 17 years, abused his position and power to pressure many staff and actresses to have sex with him, and treated some crew and actors terribly.
I grew up absolutely enthralled by David Eddings’s fantasy books. I bought and read through every single one, even The Rivan Codex, which is basically just a history textbook for his fantasy world. Yep, I was the kid who could devour an entire fantasy encyclopedia in a day, yet couldn’t get through the Scarlet Letter in a month.
I recently learned that both he and his wife were child abusers, locking their children in cages, beating them, starving them. Really soured any nostalgia I felt for those books.
This is recent, but I learned about John Hamm hazing a dude in his frat back in college. Guy messed up one word in the pledge, and Hamm essentially tortures the dude for hours, some messed up stuff. The guy is left with long-term term injuries from it. Hamm avoids the topic but if he does mention it he says “it’s a bummer it happened”
I’m not proud to admit I used to admire Elon Musk – which is nearly impossible for me to fathom *now*, but I took him as an earnest entrepreneur way back when Tesla was a startup, of sorts.
Form a line for your lashes.
Woody Allen. Annie Hall, Manhattan and others are extraordinary films but I can’t and won’t ever watch them again. He and his actions are repulsive. Manhattan has become particularly disturbing; he cast himself as a middle-aged man dating an underage girl.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson when I was a lot younger, but nowadays it doesn’t take binoculars to see that the dude is an egotistical money-hungry actor who’s just using a nice guy persona.
It wasn’t that I thought it was some irredeemable sin or anything, but John Mulaney’s infidelity blew apart the appeal he had as a funny wife guy for me
I convinced myself to see past Kanye West’s harassment (abuse, really) of Kim Kardashian so that I could continue to enjoy his music. Once Kanye started making comments praising Hitler, I just couldn’t justify it anymore. Sometimes I do miss listening to his music, but then I think about my family who were imprisoned in Nazi camps for years, and then I don’t feel bad anymore.
Ezra Miller. Went from having a promising career into career suicide with all of those charges he got
Marilyn Manson
Apparently when he was young Mark Wahlberg did a hate crime against a couple Vietnamese guys, one of them a veteran, who I think was the one he blinded. I’m normally willing to give a lot of leeway for ignorant, immature teenagers… but uh.. hate crimes are a bit of a red line for me to say the least
Here’s another choice one:
>In 1986, a then 15-year-old Wahlberg and three friends were charged for chasing three black children and pelting them with rocks while yelling: “Kill the n*****s” until an ambulance driver intervened..

Tom Cruise – what an actor, what an amazing actor. But ever since learning more about Scientology, it’s hard to enjoy any movie which he is in as I just keep thinking about how his support is helping that group do some pretty awful things. He just seems creepy now.
Will Smith
Kobe until the rape case.
Ellen Degeneres
I was a huge fan of Hunter S. Thompson (author of Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas) and read all his books. He wrote a lot about sports and politics, not just drugs, and it was all very readable.
But I was such a fan that I read a book *about* him with a lot of interviews with friends and family. He physically abused multiple women and, by the time he killed himself, spent a lot of his time being an intolerable asshole to everyone.
It made it hard to still think he was cool.
Most of them in recent years, in light of Epstein/Diddy, etc., I have a hard time trusting any of them or being interested in any of them anymore
I really liked Danny Masterson until I learned about him.
Bill Cosby.
Kevin spacey, house of cards was unreal
I liked Mel Gibson back in the day but when he made those awful comments about his pregnant girlfriend and then those antisemitic comments on Jews, he became pure trash in my book.
I was a fan of Chris Delia before he turned out to be into young teenage girls. I thought his comedy was really quotable and fun to use as banter with my brothers. I enjoyed his podcast too.
