Redditors Discuss Celebrities They’ve Lost Respect For And Why
There are a million and one celebrities scattered all over the world, and these celebrities have thousands of fans who look up to them.
Some celebrity scandals fade fast, but others stick in people’s minds for years. When a public figure crosses a line, fans do not always shrug it off, and sometimes the disappointment turns into full-blown loss of respect.
That is the mood behind a viral Reddit thread started by u/MatsGry, who asked which celebrity people had stopped respecting and why. The post drew tens of thousands of upvotes and more than 24,000 comments, with Redditors naming actors, singers, TV personalities, and public figures who changed how they saw them.
Here are some of the most upvoted replies, and the names that kept coming up.

Celebrities know that they have fans who adore them and what they do. Therefore, they owe it to those people to lead a life worthy of emulation.
