Celebrities are a major part of pop culture as they make up the one percent that the rest of us fan over. Unfortunately, a deep dive into their lives reveal they're nothing like the superhumans they appear to be on-screen.
Once the scales fall off our eyes, it's only disappointment left in place of adoration, and Redditors discussed the aftermath of these celebrity falls from grace. From R Kelly to Bill Cosby, here's a short list of the top celebrity falls from grace.
40-year-old Elisabeth Moss is a practicing Scientologist who rubs many of her fans wrong. Scientology believes in an immortal human spirit living in a physical body; many people believe it's a fraudulent cult.
Also, her involvement in the hit Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale garners some criticism as it's a satire of the Christian faith. Many fans consider Moss hypocritical, which has led to several controversial arguments on social media.
Amanda Bynes was a victim of child star success in Hollywood. When people thought she'd be the next best thing, she fell into drug abuse and had a tortured mental health journey in her 20s. She accused her father of sexually assaulting her as a child but later retracted her statement.
Fans blame Nickelodeon's Dan Schneider for sexualizing her during her tv-show era.
Allison Mack, 40, is an American actress famous for her roles in Wilfred and Smallville as Chloe Sullivan. She's currently serving a prison sentence in Dublin for racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges.
Jeffrey Jones became world famous after his role in Beetlejuice, making him a late Nineties star. Unfortunately, in 2002 his career went downhill following his arrest for possessing child pornography.
He's currently listed on the U.S. Department of Justice's national sex offender database.
As Redditors noted, Bill Cosby was a black American hero before his first bouts of sexual abuse allegations in the Sixties. They followed him throughout his career until a conviction in the late 2010s and later a vacated sentencing leading to his release. Unfortunately, the stain on his reputation would never leave.
Danny Masterson is another celebrity who suffered from sexual assault allegations and Church of Scientology controversies. He lost his job on the 2017 Netflix Comedy show Ranch, and his career stalled in 2018. The actor isn't off the hook, but fans and the industry have canceled him.
Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins is currently serving 29 years and 10 months for several counts of sexual assault against minors, including attempted rape of a child. Watkins also possessed disturbing graphic animal pornography.
Kevin Spacey is staging a comeback as he beat his sexual battery allegations in court, but it'll take more than a $40 million movie to gain favor with the public again. Anthony Rapp accused him of several counts of sexual assault, and other men in the industry backed him up. Spacey later came out as gay, but the public accused him of using it as a distraction technique.
R. Kelly was one of the most successful R&B singers worldwide until the sexual abuse allegations started in the Nineties. Firstly, he married an underaged Aaliyah leading to an annulment in 1995. In 2002, he was indicted on child pornography charges. A slew of legal cases later and Kelly finally landed in jail for sexual misconduct with minors.
