Ryan Lochte

Along with the likes of Dara Torres, Natalie Coughlin, and Jenny Thompson, Ryan Lochte happens to be the second most decorated swimmer in the history of the Olympic Games, just behind Michael Phelps. He has grabbed a total of 54 gold. 22 silver, and 14 bronze medals in the major international competitions.

Aside from being honored with the Swammy Award in 2013, he has won the FINA Swimmer of the Year thrice, the American Swimmer of the Year Award two times as well as the World Swimmer of the Year Award once. Before the 2012 Olympic Games, Ryan raked in a whopping $2.3 million as endorsement fees.

However, he found himself in a total mess. He lost many of his endorsements owing to the Lochtegate controversy in which he exaggerated a story saying that he and his teammates were held at gunpoint in Rio. That was not the case as Ryan later confessed that he was drunk. He apologized for it.

Felix Kjellberg

Felix Kjellberg, whom you know better by his online identity, PewDiePie, is a Swedish YouTuber whose channel is the fourth most subscribed one in the world, behind T-Series (India), Cocomelon - Nursery Rhymes (United States), and SET India (India).

Presently, the PewDiePie channel has 110 million subscribers and that makes Felix one of the most celebrated online personalities in the world, aside from being an individual content creator with the most subscriptions in the world. He was in the list of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in the year 2016.

However, Felix found himself in trouble just after the N-word slipped from his mouth during one of his live streams in the year 2017. It became a huge issue and things gradually turned into a nightmare for Felix. He accepted his mistake and issued a formal apology.

Veronica Rose and Jason Simpson

Veronica Rose and Jason Simpson were pretty popular YouTubers until an incident happened which took their popularity down in the dumps. They displayed their dyed hair and dreads on social media and attached the caption - 2 Years of Cultural Appropriating and had to bear the brunt of the fans who trolled them badly on social media.

Social media users regarded the post as an insult to the colored people and openly spoke against the stigmatization of them by society for wearing dreads. The whole affair was very insensitive and racist on Jason and Veronica's part and the fans demanded an apology from them.

However, the two remained unfazed by everything and refused to apologize. They were hardly bothered about whom they were offending and that led to their decline. It looked like they deliberately did what they did.

Logan Paul

With over 23 million people subscribed to his YouTube channel, Logan Paul is one of the most popular online personalities in recent times. His channel goes by the name TheOfficialLoganPaul. Aside from making an appearance in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, he has starred in films such as The Thinning as well as The Thinning: New World Order.

Coming to the controversy that Logan has been involved in, sources reveal that on his trip to Japan, Logan visited the Aokigahara Forest. He shot a vlog there showcasing a dead body hanging from a tree. In the vlog, the guy is seen cracking jokes at it and all of them were absolutely in bad taste.

He was on the receiving end of criticism for this insensitive act. Though he tried to cover up his mistake by stating that he trying to convince people not to commit suicide, but people thought it was a lame excuse. YouTube eventually stopped its ad revenue.

Anthony Fantano

Have you heard of the YouTube channel named The Needle Drop? Well, it's Anthony Fantano who owns it. The musician, music critic, and vlogger has earned impressive revenues by discussing and reviewing various genres of music from different artists.

As of now, The Needle Drop Channel has around 2.49 million subscribers. Everything was going well until Fader brought out an article that stated a fact that was hidden from public information for quite a long time. Fantano was the mastermind behind a channel called thatistheplan. The channel published cringy content that was against feminists and SJWs.

Fantano had no other choice but to delete the channel. As a result, he lost 400,000 subscribers. It was a big mess he found himself in and it's hoped that Fantano wouldn't engage in anything similar in the future.

Patric Starr

Patrick Starr is a popular social media star and makeup artist and enjoys a nice fan following. Things would have been absolutely fine if Patrick wouldn't have been involved in an incident that proved to be a nightmare for him and changed people's perception of him forever.

Patrick paid homage to Solange through a tweet and went with the caption - Peace. Love. Positivity. The hair and the outfit were exactly like how Solange looked on her wedding day. Though a lot of people appreciated her, many of her followers blamed her for deliberately trying to look black.

He was shamed for this act and thus, his popularity came down drastically. It might have been unintentional on his part, but the damage was beyond repair. We hope Patrick would be cautious before venturing into something like this in the future.

Jeffree Star

Jeffree is a makeup artist, entrepreneur, and YouTuber all rolled into one. He is the founder of Jeffree Cosmetics and has raked in a significant sum of money as its owner. According to Forbes, he earned something in the ballpark of $18 million as his YouTube revenue in 2018 and was declared as the fifth highest-earning YouTuber of that year.

He has no dearth of followers who look up to him as an inspiration. The makeup mogul was in a controversy with Kylie Jenner and the fans were witnesses to the infamous incident. The feud began when Jenner launched her line of cosmetics in 2016.

He not only slammed Jenner's products but also had altercations with Kim Kardashian. Kat Von D. Jeffree later spoke about how Jenner had dropped his name from the press list during the launch of Kylie Cosmetics.

Tana Mongeau

Known among the people for creating storyline videos and posting them on her YouTube channel, Tana Mongeau is quite a famous internet personality. As of August 13 2021, her channel has 5.4 million subscribers and has total views of 885 million.

She was just basking under the glory of her success when an incident dampened her prospects of being one of the most loved people online. For those of you who don't know, Tana was involved in a feud with iDubbbz, who is also a YouTuber. She did not hesitate to criticize him publicly for using the N-word repeatedly.

Dubbo didn't take things lying down and exposed a few footages of Tana using the same N-word in various contexts. When the compilation video came out in the open, she was labeled as both a hypocritical and racist type of person. Her popularity has never been the same again.

Sam Pepper

Sam Pepper has established himself as a TikToker and a prankster. He has been a YouTuber as well. It was in 2010 that Sam came up with his channel on YouTube. The channel amassed more than 2 million subscribers.

He has been quite a popular figure on TikTok and is followed by 4 million people as of October 2021. This guy has received a lot of flak for his pranks which people have found to be disgraceful and spreading a wrong message to society. In a video in 2014, Sam was seen grabbing inappropriate body parts of women.

The video received immense criticisms and he took the video off the internet. But Sam is not one to have learned a lesson. A recent prank in a 2015 video led a man to believe that he has been a witness to his best friend's murder. Not cool at all!

Nicole Arbour

Nicole Arbour came to public attention as the cheerleader of the National Basketball Association team, Toronto Raptors. During her days at Humber College, Nicole kick-started her cheerleading career and won two national championships for the Humber Hype Dance Team.

Today, she is an actress, a choreographer, a singer, and a YouTuber. She was steadily getting more popular by the day until something led to a change in her fortunes. She came up with the video Dear Fat People. While she was hoping it would be a motivational video, but funnily, fans did not find it so!

But it turned out to be a bigger disaster than anyone would have ever imagined. Fans accused her of fat-shaming which was actually what she was trying to do. Nicole was not willing to accept the allegations, but that didn't help her in any way. Wasn't this an unnecessary attempt at getting fame?

Adam Saleh

Adam Saleh has 2.51 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and has been an active online personality since the year 2012. He is famous for his pranks and vlogs. However, not all of them are popular for the right reasons. Some of his works received too much criticism from all quarters.

Though Saleh has been involved in many a controversy over the years, the one that has still stuck to public memory is an incident that occurred in December 2016. He posted videos through which he claimed that he had been thrown out from a Delta Air Lines flight just because he spoke in Arabic.

The airline's company was under the scanner for this discrimination. However, the co-passengers who were witnesses to the incident say that Saleh had behaved inappropriately. He was posing problems for many of them. Was it a cheap publicity stunt for Saleh or anything else?

Austin Jones

The former musician was going great guns in his career garnering more than 547,000 subscribers and more than 41.4 million views on his YouTube channel. He started making music back in the year 2007 and came up with his own material for the first time in the year 2010.

Allegations of child exploitation surfaced against him from various corners in 2017. The list of Austin's female fans was also growing until one fine day he was accused of asking underage girls to do something that was morally incorrect. On May 3, 2019, Austin was incarcerated and was ordered a 10-year sentence in federal prison.

The judge showed no lenience. His YouTube channel was permanently off the air on February 6, 2019. The earliest date of his release is December 31, 2027. This is one of the perfect examples of falling from glory.

Sam and Nia (Part 1)

How low can one stoop to become famous? YouTubers Sam and Nia went as far as faking a miscarriage just to garner views on their channel. Does it get worse? Well, we don't know. But this was really distasteful. Sam surprised Nia with her own pregnancy test in which she was found to be positive.

Some days later, the couple came up with a video in which the fans witnessed Nia's miscarriage. The viewers caught them and called out for faking the pregnancy and later, the miscarriage. Sam later confessed that the whole thing was staged.

According to him, it was God's doing, and the couple was just a ploy in the hands of the Almighty. This didn't go down well with the viewers at all. Sam and Nia lost all the popularity they had earned so far and people thought that they deserved it.  

Sam and Nia (Part 2)

Aside from the fake miscarriage controversy that Sam and Nia had been involved in, the two got into another trouble. Thus cementing their status as one of the most problematic couples you will ever come across. After the miscarriage debacle happened, Sam was caught cheating on Nia.

Sam had been a member of Ashley Madison, the Canadian social networking and online dating service, especially for people in a relationship. As per the reports, hackers soon got into the site and found out the names and email addresses of those who were paying members of the service.

It apparently looks like Nia has forgiven him, but we are not sure of where they stand. This was kind of a mess that Sam wouldn't want to get into ever again. Hopefully. Anyway, let's hope all's well between the two for the time being.

Marina Joyce

YouTuber Marina Joyce had uploaded a video ad for a certain clothing brand in 2017. But her behavior in the video seemed a little bizarre! What surprised most people was her actions that seemed a tad forced, and she might have also whispered 'Help me' at a certain point.

A resident of North London, Marina went missing for no less than 10 days. She was thankfully found 'safe and well after those 10 days, but reports claim that weird occurrences might have taken place. But everyone chose to be tight-lipped about it.

The 24-year old talented girl was rumored to have been kidnapped by ISIS. But soon she started advertising for a rave party. And it was then that most of her followers suspected if the rave was at all a trap set by ISIS. She's better now and continues with her vlogs, like earlier.

Calum McSwiggan

YouTube sensation Calum McSwiggan had put a caption in a certain photo that he uploaded on Instagram, which hinted at how he was 'terrified' to be insulted before the public. After he left a club in West Hollywood, three men attacked him. He even filed a complaint with the police, but the treatment meted out was quite demeaning.

All of 31, Calum is a renowned British blogger and online radio presenter too, who mostly likes creating diverse content and mental health, relationships, and more.

Since 2013, he started creating YouTube videos, which acted as his motivation. Thereafter, he started hosting The Calum McSwiggan Show, in 2017, on Fubar Radio. Though he faced a few issues after the incident that occurred that day, things however settled with time. After all, both parties realized they were in the wrong, and making headlines for petty matters would only worsen their future.

Yovana Mendoza

A vegan by choice, Yovana has practically redefined and reshaped what it means to adopt a healthy, vegan lifestyle, using the power of her voice. It's been almost 4 and a half years and her YouTube channel is a much talked-beauty platform.

Sadly, her popularity came crashing down after she was filmed in Bali, eating a fish. The founder of 'Rawvana' wasn't unfazed by this incident and made it a point to submit a lengthy apology, where she stated how ashamed she was of her ac Strange enough, she even described the place as a 'plant-based paradise’.t.

Yovana is still a name to contend with in the lifestyle section of YouTube. But this weird occurrence that proved she wasn't vegan at that time caused her to shake a bit! For now, she's doing good work and that should be great news for her fans.

Charles Rocket

Charles Adams Claverie, popularly known as Charles Rocket, became an acclaimed performer on the silver screen owing to his performances as Dave Dennison in the 1993 fantasy comedy film, Hocus Pocus and Nicholas Andre in the 1994 buddy comedy film, Dumb and Dumber.

His other films are Dances with the Wolves, Steal Big Steal Little, and others. Before he got into films, Charles was working for Saturday Night Live and was going great guns in his career, until something awkward happened that seemed to take the steam out of his television career.

It was the 1980-81 season and the 11th episode was in its closing moments when the F-word flew out of Charles' mouth. He soon found himself in a mess. The producer was aware of the desperate moments but still fired Charles from the show, keeping the image of SNL in mind.

It was the year 2012 when Amanda hit a police officer with her car. She was examined and was accused of DUI. That was unfortunately not the first time, as she was put behind the bars for another DUI. There have been other issues and things are not looking bright for her. We want to see her on the silver screen again. 

Jamie Kennedy

Do you remember Randy Meeks from the iconic Scream franchise? Well, it was Jamie Kennedy who made an appearance in it and made the character popular among the viewers. Aside from that, he has played several characters in The WB series, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment.

Kennedy has been active in the industry since 1989 and is still going strong. He has also starred in films such as Malibu's Most Wanted, Romeo + Juliet, and Good Deeds. First Night 2013 with Jamie Kennedy held live from outside of the popular Grauman's Chinese Theatre in California received negative reviews as many criticized it for its inferior quality.

Aside from various technical issues, an impromptu fight broke out between the paid professionals over who should take the credits. Kennedy later tried to cover up, saying that the show was intentionally unrehearsed. 

Milli Vanilli

The R&B duo from Germany's Munich was at the apex of success with their popular pop acts back in the 80s and 90s. Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus made up the group and laid their hands on the Grammy Award in the Best New Artist category in 1990.

Things were going absolutely fine for the two until it was found out that Fab and Rob didn't lend their voices to any of their releases. They were heavily criticized by the journalists and fans and were even labeled as frauds. The success they earned all turned into nothing, and Milli Vanilli found itself down in the dumps.

Fab and Rob returned their Grammys, and suddenly, their career was in a mess. Fans who turned up for their live performance of the number Girl You Know It's True demanded refunds. They tried to make a comeback, but their career never took off after this infamous incident.

Doug Williams

Before he became a graduate, Doug Williams made quite a name for himself as a stand-up comedian. He later went on to star in First Kid and The Nutty Professor. Besides that, he also made a guest appearance in The Bernie Mac Show.

Williams has been a master of observational comedy and was doing a great job. However, things went south when a clip of Williams' roasting of the former NFL running back, Emmitt Smith, surfaced on the internet in 2001. Williams earned notoriety for sniping at Smith as nobody took the roasting on a positive note.

Williams, later on, explained his conduct and also said that things went overboard unnecessarily, and the incident didn't deserve as much attention as it did. He was caught off-guard, but he couldn't save himself from the derogatory remarks that flew at him after the incident.  

Karmin

Nick Noonan and Amy Renee Noonan constituted the band Karmin. Hello and Broken Hearted are two of the popular singles that took them up the ladder of popularity. Acapella, the number from Pulses, their debut album, earned gold in the U.S. entered the top 10 charts in Australia and New Zealand.

The list of their other chartbusters include Look at Me Now, Crash Your Party, I Want It All, and Along the Road. At a 2012 Saturday Night Live performance, Karmin had to follow the performance of Lana Del Ray, which was next to impossible.

Though Karmin tried their best, they were not able to surpass Lana. In the end, they failed miserably, and that seemed to have spelled doom for their career. As per sources, fans eventually witnessed Karmin becoming quite irrelevant after that. That was a sad outcome.

Dani Mathers

The 30-year-old Playboy model and actress became the Cyber Girl of Playboy in the year 2013. Playboy Miss May in 2014, and Playmate of the Year in the year 2015. Dani starred as Danica in The Bold and the Beautiful's CBS show and appeared in Neighbors.

She appeared as the Heidi and Frank show host regularly until she invited infamy by getting involved in body shaming. She took a snap of a 71-year-old woman having a shower at the gym. The body-shaming would have been a bit harmless if Dani hadn't gone a bit too far.

Dani had to do a month of community service and was sentenced to 45 days behind bars. This incident proved to be a scar on her career, which she could never move beyond.

Zoe Sugg

Zoe Sugg, who is popular for her brand Zoella, is a popular YouTube personality and beauty expert. She came up with her makeup advent calendar in 2017, and the prices were exorbitant. It was normal for the fans not to take this kindly, and they expressed their opinions.

However, this was not the end, as some fans dug into her social media accounts and unearthed some tweets which were not in good taste. The tweets somehow reflected Zoe's feelings towards others, from slurs towards a particular section of people to fat-shaming. Internet trolls did not spare her.

When things went south, Zoe stated that she wrote those derogatory tweets eight years back, and things blew out of proportion. However, the damage was irreparable. She also confessed that she doesn't think on those lines anymore.

Michael Jackson

The king of pop, Michael Jackson’s career hit an all-time high with his breakthrough album, Thriller, in 1982. Songs like Thiller, Just Beat It, and Billie Jean went on to be chartbusters!  His gravity-defying dancing skills, his unique voice made him the ultimate pop star.

However, his career hit a steady decline since 2003, with whispers about his personal life and his lifestyle in a fantasy mansion. Many charges were leveled against Jackson in December of 2003, and his reputation took a tumble down. The media had a field day writing and reporting the breaking news, much to the shock of his fans worldwide.

He was gone too soon with an accidental overdose in 2009. He also had to spend two decades of prison time as he was found guilty of some of the charges leveled at him. However, he was acquitted from all the charges, much to the relief of his fans.

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly, or R Kelly as he is popular, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer. However, most people today remember him as the serial offender in many cases. He has earned numerous titles thanks to his unprecedented success in the music field. This includes the likes of R&B and hip hop. His fans fondly call him the King of R&B, the King of Pop-Soul, and the Pied Piper of R&B proves his popularity and his sheer mastery over his vocals.

The Grammy award-winning singer has chart-busting songs like I Believe I Can Fly, Bump N' Grind, Your Body's Callin, Gotham City, Ignition (Remix), and more.

However, controversies finally caught up with him as he was indicted for several crimes. Although he has been refuting such claims, things look bleak for him; career-wise, he has been losing endorsements like no tomorrow.

Chris Brown

Chris Brown is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, actor, and graffiti artist. In fact, as per Billboard, Brown is regarded as one of the most influential and successful R&B singers ever. He is also one of the chief claimants for the title of King of R&B alongside Usher and R. Kelly. His musical style is what one can call polyhedric, and he draws his influences from other genres, such as hip hop and pop music.

Such is his versatility that he has been compared with the inimitable Michael Jackson. His lyrics focus on the pangs of lovesickness, regret, romantic love, fast life, desire, and the maneuvering of difficult emotions.

He was also the center of media attention while dating Rihanna. However, things got ugly between the couple at a pre-Grammy party in 2009, and accusations moved thick and fast.  Unfortunately, Rihanna ended with a split lip, bruised cheeks, and lesions on her forehead. Career-wise, there has been a steady decline after that!

Ashlee Simpson's career began spiraling downwards with a tragic Saturday Night Live performance in 2004. While she began singing the second song of her set, Autobiography, she hit a jarring note as the song Pieces of Me began to play instead.

The blame game between Simpson and the band continued. However, everything was downhill from there for her as nothing could resurrect Ashlee's career.

Her other films included Red Dawn, The Cotton Club, Bloodhounds of Broadway, Bounce, Redbelt.  The Wind Rises and more.

But a mishap with surgery undid much of the success she has been able to generate at the beginning of her career. Her nose was her most distinctive feature. It's really sad that the shape of her nose would determine the course of her career.

Although it impacted her career, she continues to make several appearances on television and in films.

Everything was going great for Natalie, till she learned country music does not marry well with politics. Her comments on a certain politician earned her bad press,

Her comments turned so controversial that radio stations even asked their listeners whether they should stop airing Dixie Chicks songs and ban them altogether. We bet Natalie couldn't imagine in her wildest dreams that her one remark would cause such a furor!

However, his legal wrangles got the better of him and after numerous accusations, he eventually ended his life in 2018.

Her versatile career, includes several singles, songs for films, collaborating with several artists, and making several appearances at various charity fundraising concerts.

O’Connor's 1992 Saturday Night Live performance became mired with controversies because of major emotional performance  She changed the lyrics to Bob Marley’s “War” to reflect the rampant child abuse occurring within the Catholic Church.

Jeffrey Jones

Jeffrey Duncan Jones's role as an Amadeus, Day Off and Beetlejuice gave a much-needed fillip to his career. He followed it up with films such as Red October, Devil’s Advocate Deadwood, and Deadwood: The Movie.

His deadpan portrayals in film and television, she has played many such roles to hilarious effects. His versatile performance earned him a Golden Globe Award for Amadeus. Besides that, he also won a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the ensemble cast of Deadwood.

However, the person who brought a smile to audiences' faces was charged with heinous crimes. He was sentenced to 5 years probation. He was listed as a serial offender. We are guessing his career can only go South now.

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis or the Killer (nickname) is an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. He was also known as "rock n' roll's first great wild man' and arguably one of the influential pianists of the 20th century.  Lewis began his career at the recordings in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis.  His song, Crazy Arms sold 300,000 copies in the South, however, he became a household name with the song, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin.'

Like all good things, his immense name and fame came to an end too and his career hit rock bottom, so much so that his earnings went from $10,000 a night to a meager $250 when a reporter found out that he was married to his first cousin, who was just 13, while he was 23.

His popularity was eventually eroded and caused a major impact on his flourishing career!
