We can all name a celebrity who had everything going for themselves and lost it all because they said something problematic, did something problematic, or became embroiled in legal issues.
Reddit useru/HumptyDumpty30recently had people talking about some of thecelebrities who ruined their own careerswhen theyasked, “What famous person had everything going for him but managed to fuck it all up?” From TV hosts to world-famous athletes, here are 22 people they named:
1.“Matt Lauer. This guy was NBC royalty. Hosting the Olympics. He was there on 9/11. He was a fixture of the network. Then his [alleged] sex pervert abusersecretsgot out, and he just fucking vanished.”
2.“Oscar Pistorius.”
3.“Ezra Miller.”
4.“Subway Jared.”
5.“Most recently? Kevin Porter Jr. [who is a former] NBA player for the Houston Rockets. He just signed a four-year, 80-million-dollar deal and gotarrestedand charged with assaulting his girlfriend.”
6.“Allison Mack. Her character inSmallvillewas original to the show and not part of theSupermanmythos. She did so well by it that they introduced it in the comics. But she had to go [and get involved in a sex traffickingcult]. End of career, no reunion shows, no Comic Cons, character dropped from the comics, so no cool legacy, oh yeah…and jail.”
7.“Kevin Spacey.”
8.“Bit of an oddball answer but Andrew Cuomo. He was an ADA lawyer, founded a law firm, was a secretary under Clinton, AG, and then became NY governor. He was probably one step away from being the next DNC candidate for president. Then, as y’all probably all already know, several women came forward and told theirstory[of sexual harassment].”
9.“Rudy Giuliani had hero status after 9/11 and now is a completedisasteranytime a camera is pointed his way.”
10.“Jussie Smollett.”
11.“Aaron Hernandez.”

13.“John Wilkes Booth. He was a famous and highly regarded actor with a very successful career before he [assassinated] President Lincoln.”
14.“Ellen DeGeneres. ‘Be kind to one another’ unless you work for me. Then all bets are off.”
15.“Bill Cosby.”
16.“Henry Ruggs III, a first-round pick in the NFL. Racing his Corvette through Vegas at 3 in the morning, [prosecutors claimed] hecrashedat over 100 mph and killed a woman and her dog. He was one of the top prospects in the game. At 24 years old, he’s going to spend 3–10 years in jail and lose out on any and all NFL hopes and dreams. He only made it two seasons in the league before essentially ruining his life.”
17.“T.J. Miller was in every other comedy last decade but then made real bad life choices.”
18.“O.J. Simpson.”
19.“Kanye West.”
20.“Debatable if you’d say he was super famous, but Armie Hammer before [the cannibalism claims] is up there.”
