SHIA LABEOUF

Shia Labeouf is known as a child star who has been seen on-screen multiple times, especially for the shows, Even Stevens, Freaks and Geeks, and Project Greenlight. But he became even more famous for his parts in Indiana Jones and Transformer. Labeouf may have been so familiar with the famous celebrity life that he seemed to have developed an entitlement for his status. So much so that it got to a degree that he would be reported acting disruptively in bars and got involved in legal run-ins, and he was also reported to be involved in this weird, gross art project which was just out of this world. Currently doing better than before, he has admitted to having overcome his struggles.

TATUM O’NEAL

Tatum O’Neal known to have been the youngest actress to have ever won an Oscar for Best Actress In A Supporting Role was such a great talent during her time. However, somewhere along her journey to stardom, she may have lost her way and met drugs. Just like many of the Hollywood stars, substance abuse took the better of her and ruined her career, marriage, and her life eventually. She was married to tennis athlete John McEnroe before she suffered a very public divorce which for sure has put so much pressure on her lawyers as the divorce also ended with her losing custody of her kids.

REBECCA GAYHEART

It happened in 2001 when Jawbreaker actress, Rebecca Gayheart, got involved in a car accident that hit and killed a third-grader. According to reports, her negligence became the cause of the incident as she was unable to see how the other cars stopped to let the boy cross the street. Even with the help of the best lawyers, she knew she was at fault and had to settle. Her settlement caused so much and has affected her credit reports. Since that unfortunate event, Gayheart has not been back on her feet despite her appearances on TV shows and movies, Dead Like Me and Vanished.

BRANDY

For some time it did seem that her career is going somewhere until she met an accident involving a car domino effect on the highway. The accident was so serious to a degree that it resulted in the death of one. With the help of her lawyers, she was able to settle accounts with the victim’s family but with the headlines, she lost many projects and soon flopped everything she started thereafter.

JAMES ‘JIMMY THE GREEK’ SNYDER

Known to be one of the world’s best sportscaster, James or better known to be Jimmy the Greek, used to be on every avid sports fan faces on screen. He, in fact, was the one to launch The NFL Today, for which he worked with for at least a decade before they sadly let him go for his racial comments he made on air. Unfortunately, no matter how entertaining he was when it comes to sports, he will now be remembered for his controversial rant about how the white American athletes are being robbed by black athletes of sports roles and how the latter are of better advantage due to their long history of slavery. Sadly, his comments became also the cause of bankruptcy agency calling.

NATALIA KILLS AND WILLY MOON

2013 X-Factor: New Zealand hired successful pop artist couple, Natalia Kills and Willy Moon to be among their judges for the season. However, it was in the same show that the career for this duo ended. They were shown on-air when Natalia Kills made a mean comment on contestant Joe Irvine. A ‘mean comment’ is even a kinder degree of wording it given how she totally maligned, demeaned, and even accused a contestant of copying her partner Willy. While no legal actions were taken against them, the couple were both fired from the show on that very day. How very unfortunate.

ASHLEE SIMPSON — LIP SYNCHING

Popular American singer, Jessica Simpson’s sister, Ashley Simpson first became a back-up dancer for her sister when she started her career. When she finally started her own album, Jessica became a sensation almost instantly. However, on one occasion of October 2014, she accepted an appearance engagement in Saturday Night Live. Although her performance was very good while singing her hit single, Pieces of Me, a slight audio accident gave away her lip-synching. Her degree of embarrassment got the better of her that for her second performance she wasn’t able to contain herself anymore as well as her other comebacks thereafter.

B.O.B

2010 hit hip-hop rap, Airplanes, was performed by B.O.B. and became very popular across America and even internationally. However because of his controversial tweet back in 2016 where he tweeted that the earth is flat, caused public uproar or criticism of some degree and even caught the attention of astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson responding to his tweet where he was assured by Tyson that despite his reasoning his music is still liked. This again was replied to by B.O.B with a “Flatline” to refer to Tyson’s recording that about the earth’s formation. This whole Twitter incident sadly resulted to indeed a regress in B.O.B’s career.

TROY DUFFY

American director and screenwriter of two films, Troy Duffy who was also a musician and was mainly the subject in the documentary film, Overnight, became quite an example for someone to be given credit too much too soon. In the film, his infamous story of being the director and screenwriter of the two 90s cult classic, The Boondock Saints was featured by documentarians Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith. In the documentary, Duffy worked as a bartender who came home to witness a dead woman being wheeled out of a drug dealer’s apartment and in his angst against what he just saw he turned it into a beautiful story that Harvey Weinstein of Miramax bought. However, Duffy turned out to be an egotistic alcoholic who couldn’t work with some artists like Ewan McGregor and so he was eventually dropped out as his film.

SINEAD O’CONNOR

Short-time worldwide sensation, Sinead O’Connor was the artist behind the popularized smash hit single, Nothing Compares 2 U. For a time, she was also a regular on TV until her guesting gig at the Saturday Night Live happened. In the episode, the Irish singer performed her own rendition of the song, War, where her performance went out of hand to a degree that she tore apart a picture of Pope John Paul II. Her act sparked outrage among the studio audience and in the media where she was called disrespectful and so her records, CDs, and tapes suffered the same in the hands of devout catholic Christians as a reflection of her own actions.
