Famous Faces That Fell Out Of Favor In 2025
From legal scandals to strange business choices, these stars ended up on the internet’s most disliked list.
Every year, specific public figures manage to spark irritation, frustration, or outright hostility online, and 2025 was no exception. According to votes gathered by Ranker, a platform known for crowd-sourced opinions, users selected celebrities they felt deserved a spot on the “most disliked” list this year.
The range of nominees was broad, including royals, TV personalities, talk show hosts, reality stars, and controversial musicians. The reasons behind their unpopularity varied from person to person.
Some individuals ended up on the list because of alleged bad behavior, such as being rude to staff or displaying dismissive attitudes toward fans. Others faced judgment for business decisions, like promoting products many considered pointless, exploitative, or simply strange.
These choices sparked significant online backlash and heated discussions across social platforms. A handful of names stood out due to legal troubles.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, for example, became one of the most talked-about figures this year after facing serious charges and serving time behind bars. Situations like his didn’t just generate headlines; they also reignited conversations about celebrity privilege, accountability, and how much the public is willing to tolerate when fame is involved.
Some celebrities weren’t involved in new scandals at all. Instead, old controversies resurfaced and once again captured attention. Specific public figures attempted to comment on or justify past behavior, only to find that many people were not interested in their explanations.
Others didn’t say anything but were still criticized as previously buried conversations returned to the spotlight, fueled either by documentaries, viral clips, or renewed public interest. Whether fair or exaggerated by internet culture, the yearly update to this list shows how quickly public sentiment can shift and how harsh online judgment can be.
From legal battles to unpopular branding choices, these 50 celebrities stood out in 2025 for all the wrong reasons.

Public opinion is unpredictable, and this year proved it once again. Some of these celebrities may bounce back with time, while others could remain tied to the controversies that put them on the list.
What’s clear is that fame doesn’t guarantee admiration. In 2025, the audience made their feelings known, and these names stood out not for achievements, but for backlash.
