People Are Revealing Reasons Why They No Longer Like Certain Celebrities, And Here Are 40 Of Them
It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and just one moment to send it down the drain.
Celebrity fascination runs deep, especially when a public figure goes from admired to widely criticized in a matter of days. One viral Reddit thread tapped right into that shift, asking people to name the celebrities they no longer like and explain why.
The responses quickly turned into a long list of scandals, rumors, and disappointments, with Redditors sharing the moments that changed how they saw some of the biggest names in entertainment, sports, and media. Since not every claim can be verified, it is worth taking the comments as opinions rather than settled fact.
Here are the celebrities people said they have lost respect for, and the reasons behind it.
The question proposed...
u/theresabeeonyourhatAnd Redditors trooped in to deliver their various replies.
Some of the answers came in fast and blunt.
1. Elon Musk
I was an Elon Musk fan.Mass Effect is one of my favorite franchises, and I saw Elon and SpaceX as a way of achieving something like the future in Mass Effect.Later, I learned that he basically just takes all of the fame from the engineers, pumps and dumps crypto, is an idiot, and exploits the hell out of his workers. He's a garbage human being who should shut up and leave the companies he has, as they have potential beyond his smug face.I still like SpaceX, and I think they will probably lead to our future in space exploration, but Elon is at the top of my shit list, just like most, if not all, billionaires and millionaires—especially the ones that are terrible to the people who made their companies what they are today.

4. Jennifer Lopez
Many years ago, a friend of mine in Houston waited on her and her entourage at a very nice restaurant. She demanded that the restaurant's starstruck manager go to the store and get the kind of bottled water she liked because she wasn't doing that tap bullshit, and they didn't carry the kind she preferred. She and her people needled my friend until the manager returned from the store with it, and then complained when it wasn't served cold, even though he, of course, brought glasses of ice with it.She ran my friend ragged and laughed the whole time, berating him and calling him names at every opportunity. We were both servers at that point, and I'd gone to his restaurant and asked for him at times (hey, if you're going to tip someone, you might as well keep it in the family), so I know he was damned good at what he did. I saw how he treated all his tables. He loved his job and did his best at all times.She and her friends stiffed him—zero tip—after camping out at that table in that private room that was given just to her and nobody else for three hours. Just because she could.I never liked her after that. "I'm just Jenny from the block" my ass.

23. Mario Lopez
I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and there is a move called "knee on belly," which is exactly what it sounds like. Typically, when you’re training, you don’t go full force because it’s an asshole move, especially when you’re training. Well, Mario was at my gym one day, and he decided to go full force on me. I heard some snap, crackle, and pop sounds coming from my ribs, which led to my rolling around on the floor for a bit. He never checked on me or apologized for doing that.It takes a special kind of human to lack that much empathy to completely ignore someone writhing in pain that you clearly inflicted.Ever since then, I can physically feel my blood pressure rise whenever I see Extra or Access Hollywood or whatever crappy show he hosts.

29. Sia
Sia, because of her movie Music.She basically completed the entire checklist for how not to make a movie about autism.1. Cast a neurotypical person.2. Use Autism Speaks as a consultant.3. Have a very cliched and unrealistic depiction of autism, and show dangerous and inappropriate means of controlling autism as if it were normal.4. Throw a tantrum when people criticize you for the above.5. Backtrack and offer a half-hearted apology when you realize they have a point.- RedWestern

36. Morrissey is up next
Morrissey. I related to his music in a significant way as he seemed to embrace being the weird outsider who didn't relate much to traditional roles and behavior. He was funny, bookish, and seemed custom-made for outcasts and underdogs.BUT—He grew into a bitter old racist xenophobe who can't stop talking horrible shit that goes completely against my values and what I'm willing to tolerate in another human being. As Dr. Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist, notes, "People often feel betrayed when someone they admire reveals values that starkly contrast with their own." This disillusionment can lead to a reevaluation of our admiration for such figures. So Morrissey can eat the poo-poo.
