Number 8: Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp rose to prominence with his role in the hit series 21 Jump Street, becoming one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood.

However, his fans began jumping ship in the last couple of years as it became clear he isn’t as perfect as he seemed.

All hell broke loose after his wife, Amber Heard, filed for divorce, obtaining a restraining order and suing him for physical abuse.

While Depp’s fans called her a gold digger and accused her of making false claims, the actress later donated her $7 million settlement to charity.

But that wasn’t the only legal trouble for Depp; two of his former bodyguards sued him for unpaid wages and dangerous working conditions.

They claimed they were exposed to illegal substances while working for him and had to dust drugs off his face in public to prevent people from noticing his condition.

 

 

Number 7: Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen, known for his role in Two and a Half Men, has lived a scandal-filled life for years.

His HIV-positive diagnosis came to light in a way that shocked many.

While Sheen admitted to spending around $10 million paying extortionists to keep quiet about his condition, he claimed he wanted to release himself from that “prison.”

After learning of his diagnosis, he stated he slept with over 200 women, insisting he always informed them of his status.

However, some of his past partners rebuffed these claims and even sued him for exposing them to the virus.

His ex-fiancée, Scottine Ross, was one of the women who filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of physical abuse and offering her $1 million to keep his HIV status under wraps.

 

 

Number 6: Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande, the Victorious actress, found herself at the center of one of the biggest scandals of 2015.

Her crime? Licking a couple of doughnuts without paying for them.

Surveillance footage caught the incident, and Grande didn’t help her case by making unpatriotic comments about America while doing so.

She later apologized for her words but faced backlash from many, including the shop owner who believed criminal charges should be brought against her.

This incident fueled rumors about her diva behavior, which she has repeatedly denied.

However, “Doughnut Gate” was the final straw for many, proving that some stars think they can do anything without facing consequences.

 

 

Number 5: Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy was already a full-blown movie star when a scandal rocked his career in 1997.

He was caught in his SUV with a transgender prostitute named Shalimar, who was arrested on the spot.

Murphy claimed he was just trying to be a good Samaritan by giving her a ride home and walked away from the incident without punishment.

His marriage to Nicole Mitchell withstood the scandal, but they eventually divorced in 2005.

Tragically, Shalimar later died under strange circumstances, and Murphy’s name was dragged through the mud once again.

Reports suggested he hired a private investigator to diffuse the scandal surrounding him.

 

 

Number 4: Louis C.K.

In 2017, dozens of men in Hollywood were accused of sexual misconduct, and Louis C.K.was one of the most notable cases.

Several women who worked on his shows came forward, claiming the comedian had pleasured himself in their presence.

The rumors about his inappropriate behavior had circulated for years, and after the #MeToo movement gained traction, Louis C.K.admitted the allegations were true, acknowledging he wielded his power irresponsibly.

His upcoming projects were canceled, and even Disney Channel went so far as to redub all of his scenes in Gravity Falls for future reruns.

 

 

Number 3: Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder’s career took a nosedive after her infamous shoplifting scandal in 2001.

She was caught stealing $5,500 worth of designer clothes and was convicted of grand theft, shoplifting, and vandalism.

Ryder spent three years on probation, completed community service, and went to counseling.

For years, she stayed silent about the incident but eventually spoke out, stating it wasn’t the crime of the century as the media portrayed it.

She described the time as a dark period in her life and noted that disappearing from the spotlight allowed her to return to San Francisco and do things she wanted outside of public scrutiny.

 

 

Number 2: Rob Lowe

Back in the 80s, Rob Lowe was one of the most promising young actors and a member of the Brat Pack.

However, his rise to stardom came to an abrupt halt when a sex tape featuring him and two girls he met at a nightclub was leaked.

The scandal was particularly damaging because one of the girls was only 16 at the time, and her mother sought to sue Lowe for seducing her daughter.

Although the incident tarnished his public image, Lowe managed to revive his career, even stating that the scandal was the greatest thing that ever happened to him as it helped him get sober.

 

 

Number 1: Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey was once one of the most respected actors in Hollywood, boasting two Oscars before allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced.

Actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making unwanted advances towards him when Rapp was only 14 years old.

Spacey attempted to save face by coming out as gay, but this move backfired, drawing criticism from prominent members of the LGBT community who felt he was trying to divert attention from the accusations.

Following Rapp’s claims, 15 other men came forward with similar allegations against Spacey.

Consequently, he was fired from House of Cards and cut out of Ridley Scott’s film All the Money in the World.

His future in the industry remains uncertain.
