What is one, or a few, celebrity fall from grace (s) that you have known or seen (on tv news or newspapers, magazines)?

I mean ANY type of celebrity. Presidents, movie stars, writers, painters, singers, governors, sports stars, news broadcasters, peace-makers, etc, etc. Basically anyone who is a public figure.

I'll start with one....

Joseph McCarthy from the 1950s! Read about him during my Freshmen year of College.

Sinead O'Connor after ripping the picture of the Pope on "SNL"
Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction
Winona Ryder's shoplifting, which she claimed it was for a role

I guess it kinda is. BUT after her 2001 'All for you' album, she no longer wanted to make music anymore, or at least not any music that had deeper meaning. So her lack of album sales the past decade is in huge part to her not having much to say on her cds anymore, so her music isn't as good.

Oh yeah, I've read about this and heard about it. After that her career was never the same anymore.  :-\\ I like some of her music.

Wow, never heard of this one before.

This is the most embarrassing fall from grace I ever saw in my life.  :P

This is a WTF was Mark Holmes smoking when he thought of this?

A rather desperate way of presenting a more mature image and trying to steer them away from their "teeny bopper" image that eventually ended up turning them into a bunch of man whores.  :P

Barry Bonds.

Mel Gibson...


He was a huge star in the 80s, 90s, and most of the 00s. Them came his drunk verbal exposure of his hidden anti-semitism, and sexism. This was like 2005 or 2006.

Barry Bonds.


Yes, I quite remember hearing the news about this.

The Hoff

Yeah.  He fell off the wagon there and his daughter filmed it with her cellphone.
His now ex wife used that video against him in their divorce and child custody dispute.  He won custody of their children.  I don't quite remember how he got custody of the kids but he did it.

Yes, I quite remember hearing the news about this.

Yeah, he seemed to be "all that" during his early days as a player (although even then, some people might have their opinions) but then there was the steroid scandal. Still, he kept hitting home runs left and right.

Jose Canseco

The drug scandal that followed him killed his pro ball career.  And domestic violence charges certainly didn't help him with things any.  :P

There was also Ray Combs, best known for hosting the second incarnation of Family Feud (1988-94). He started out as an actor and a stand-up comedian; in October of 1986 he was invited to perform on the Tonight Show and was given a standing o for his appearance. A couple years later, he began hosting Family Feud... a stint that would last for almost six years. Then he got into a serious automobile accident which would paralyze him for the rest of his life and faced all sorts of problems...eventually taking his own life in a psychiatric ward in June 1996, at the age of 40. :\'(

I've heard her described as 'homeless' as well.  I think it is because it is her in-laws home not her own.  Technically she doesn't have her own place so she is homeless.  Looking at it from the point of view that not all homeless live on the streets, they just don't have a place to call their own?

Jimmy Savile ... he has been an icon in England for decades. He hosted Top of the Pops for years and then went into childrens shows etc.  He was awarded an OBE and was Knighted back in the 1990's.  He died in 2011 and in 2012 he was linked sexual child abuse on a  massive scale.  Young girls were his thing...

This guy was dodgy looking (and acting) and was able to hide in plain sight for decades.

More recently, the great Australin/Brit performer, Rolph Harris (of 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport' fame) has also been linked and is presently fighting charges in Britain of the same activities.  I'm hoping this one is wrong. Rolph painted the Queen's portait a few years ago ... he was very highly regarded by all. But the mud is getting very thick...  :-\\

Poor little Joanie. At one time I would have put a roof over her head!  ::)

Also Michael Jackson who dangled Blanket over the balcony and brought into question his parenting skills.  I feel really sorry for those kids.  He cared about them and they loved him very much.  Poor Paris is having a down fall of her own and she's not even a famous person.

It's funny, because all of us 'normies' aren't famous, and go through hard times, yet no one calls our pain a 'downfall', just a 'phase' or 'dark times.'

I guess the irony of having millions or billions of people know your name makes it more bitter, and the fall 'harder'.  :D

Tiger Woods.

He rocked in the 90s and most of the 00s. Then came that day in November of 2009, and his confidence went down!

He's somewhat made a comeback, but hasn't come back all the way to his old glory days yet.

Young girls, as in 7,8,9 year olds?  :-X :-X


Here is what they wrote ... " Jimmy Savile (1926–2011) had sexually abused under-age adolescent and prepubescent girls and boys, and adults,"

He had a large gravestone which the family removed after the scandal. Several statues and plaques of Savile, around the city, were also removed. Any streets or building named after him were renamed.

I believe that from what I read she ran out of money and no one wanted to hire her at that point any longer. Even Scott Baio and Henry Winkler tried to help her.

And the fact he was a pedophile and a drug addict adds to his downfall.

Got a front row seat of it: Whitney Houston. In the late 1980s and 1990s she was one of pop music's biggest stars, but drug use lead to a deterioration of her voice to the point that fans walked out on her final tour before her death.

Judy Garland's life was also pretty sad post Wizard of Oz; after trying comebacks she eventually passed on.

Don't forget Mike Tyson, hitting fever pitch with the Evander Hollyfield ear biting incident.

Yeah but she was known for a 2007 incident where she ploughed into a street lamp in front of a night club.  Mommy and Daddy's high priced lawyer assumed that she had been bailed out but the judge ordered her to jail for driving on a suspended license and suspicion of drunk driving.
Wanna bet she's still pulling all of that stuff that she was pulling when she was younger?

OJ Simpson was, IMO the biggest celebrity downfall of the entire 20th century (with Nixon being a close second.) Younger people don't remember this, but before the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and the trial that followed, OJ was a beloved figure in America. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1968 and went on to have a stellar professional football career as a running back with the Buffalo Bills, and after he retired he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.

After retiring from football, OJ went on to have a successful broadcasting and acting career. He was well-liked and charismatic, known in particular as a sideline reporter during NBC's broadcasting of NFL games and for his famous commercials for the Hertz rental car company, where he ran through airports in a manner recalling his glory days with the Bills. (Plus he was Nordberg!) Everyone loved the Juice back then, and if you told someone in 1990 that within 5 years OJ Simpson be the most hated man in America they'd have told you to have your head examined.

No one could have imagined the events that occurred a few years later.

No...It was a big deal, yes, but OJ was a star to a hard core, but small, segment of the population.

Mark Holmes comes to mind when I think of a celebrity fall from grace.  The poor guy was mourning for Kenny MacLean his friend and band mate who died and he was making up a million and one excuses for not coming into the studio to record.
A lot of BS and 2 years later and one of the new guys Rob Laidlaw said "I booked some time in the studio......NO EXCUSES!"  I can understand about feeling Mark's grief for Kenny because they were really close.  But to not go into the recording studio for a whole year because of your grief is a little bit ridiculous.  But I guess the barevement process is different for everybody.

all of The Lohan Family.

I don't think the whole family is falling from grace.

Just Michael, Dina, and Lindsay and maybe Allie.

Chris Steffler, Kenny MacLean, Mark Holmes, and Sergio Galli in 1985

Mark Holmes and Kenny MacLean almost always seemed to keep each other higher than a pair of kites when they were younger.  I can almost always find an old clip of Good Rockin Tonite and I wouldn't have known it at the time but now that I'm older and a little wiser I know that Kenny and Mark were both keeping each other high or drunk or something.
The unfortunate thing is that Kenny didn't survive all of the stuff that he was doing and Mark did survive it.  I can sense in Mark's writings and interviews on Facebook that he's still feeling the sting of loosing Kenny.  He and Kenny were incredibly close and when Kenny died Mark just fell apart.  So I can understand why he didn't start recording the new album right away.  It's because if they wanted to record in 2009 it would have been too soon after Kenny died.

ml6yKIZpUYo

They were keeping each other higher than a pair of kites when they were younger.  Always having fun, acting silly, and finishing each other's sentences.  LMFAO! In this video Mark and Mac can hardly sit still.  ;D I bet that this was an interview that Terry David Mulligan won't ever forget.  ;D LMFAO!

Oh and the answer to the Platinum Blonde triva question is Manchester United is Mark Holmes' favourite British Football team.  ;D

I remember that too. After eight successful seasons with the New York Mets, he signed with the Dodgers for a multi-year contract. However, his career began to take a downturn during his time with the Dodgers, mainly due to injury... and the above mess he got into. He later spent the second half of the 1990's with the Yankees, making a comeback and helping the team to win three World Series titles. Still, he was never really the same. Before his final year with the NYY he received a colon cancer diagnosis, and after his career finished he would get into all kinds of legal problems.

And the fact he was a pedophile and a drug addict adds to his downfall.


That was never proven the second time and the first time he bought and sold his alledged victim's family so they would keep quiet about it.  :P

But why would she want to shave her head?

Oh yeah.  Daniel.  That asshole.

You know? You never hear about the other brother Adam Baldwin getting arrested for anything? Maybe I might have missed it. ???

Adam isn't one of the Baldwin Brothers.  He just happens to have the same last name.  No relation.

Harold Ballard the former owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs and one the most detested managers in the Leaf's history when he picked up a fireman's axe and threatened to cut the wire to a new lighting rig if the CBC didn't pay for the upgrades.  :P

Yeah.  Her ex has custody of the kids and that's a good thing.  :)

Rosie O'donnel said it was post-partum depression but I think there was more going on than meets the eye.  I think she just fell apart after her ex decided that he wanted to be famous because she was famous.  :P


It was a mix of everything. She was tired of being told what to do so she rebelled. She was also hurt by bad stuff being talked about her in the newspapers, half of which were true, so going crazy was her way of sticking her middle finger up to the media.

Also, she couldn't/can't trust many people because of her fame, that's depressing eh? And finally, I think only a fraction of it was post-partum depression, like 35%?

This was probably one of the biggest celebrity downfalls in history.  And the three way custody battle between Larry Birkhead, Virggie Arthur, and K Howard Stearn was seen as one of the biggest custody battles of all time.  People not really knowing what Anna Nicole wanted for her little girl because the only will she had left her predeceased son in charge of her estate.  Why she did that I don't know but what's done is done.  But Larry Birkhead, who was proven to be Dannielynn's father, got cutsody of her and he's been raising her in Kentucky since she was a year old.

I still remember hearing that announcement on the radio before heading off to school. Such a shame since he was so fine looking and talented. RIP, River.

Yeah.  His brother called 9-1-1 in a panic because River was seizuring on the sidewalk outside the Viper Room.  :( He had so much more to offer and he pissed his life away on drugs.  :(

I know.  I felt sorry for Joaquin having to call 9-1-1 in a panic because he didn't know how to save his brother.  He was a kid himself, only 19, when he was with his brother.

I am trying to forget what an asshole he was.  :P

How can we have a list like this and not have the king of all douche bags Axl Rose on this list?

QSHCbg8HmC8

He had a chance to be the hero of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame last year and instead he chose to be a dick about it and not show up for the ceremony.  :P  He didn't have to change what he had going on with the band now but it would have been nice if he and Izzy Stradlin had shown up.

RPRZxEQSRkg

Axl said "I like the band the way it is now." Well, that's nice.  You didn't have to change the present day dynamic but it would have been nice if you hadn't been such a dick head about it.  :P

remember his quotes?  ;D

The problem of being in the public eye is that you have to watch out what you do or say. The public has a limit on how forgiving it is.

For those who don't know and probably don't, this is Scott Hall(aka Razor Ramon, a wrestling character who used to be in the WWF/E many years ago had drug and alcohol problems outside the wrestling world but with the help of some of his buddies, he's looking better nowadays.

I remember watching Razor Ramon wrestle. He was the Intercontinental champion at some point in the early 1990s, and he had that toothpick thing going.

glad to see you remember the early 90's in the WWF when Razor Ramon was hot and won the IC title from Goldust. http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/filepicker%2FPOcOFm75R7K1hYJifChI_scott_hall.jpg

I think he beat the model "Rick Martel" for the title as well, he might have won the title more than once. He and Shawn Michaels had a feud going.

I remember when he beat Goldust, Shawn Michaels and had a group called The N.W.O. (New World Order) with Kevin Nash & Hulk Hogan later on.

he's better now and he said he wants to make one more appearance at Royal Rumble 2014. I think he can pull off one more DDT.
