FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO SHATTERED OUR FAITH IN HUMANITY
Added on: 13th Jul 2016
DR. NANCY SNYDERMAN
After being exposed to an Ebola-affected area while filming a news
segment for NBC, Dr. Nancy Snyderman violated the
twenty-one-day-period quarantine and made a secret run to a
New Jersey restaurant, putting other people at risk of catching
the deadly virus just because she felt like dining out.
ANDERSON SILVA
If you asked MMA fans a year ago who’s the greatest MMA fighter
of all time the name Anderson Silva would most likely pop up
alongside that of Fedor Emelianenko and Georges St-Pierre.
However, this past January, Silva failed drug tests after his
fight with Nick Diaz and the worst part is that he kept lying
about it until the second sample verified the illegal substances
in his blood. Ironically, Silva was one of those athletes who
kept criticizing cheaters and people who use steroids while
doing exactly what he was preaching against. His legacy
was greatly damaged and he was banned for one year.
BRIAN WILLIAMS
Williams, who anchored NBC Nightly News until he received a
six-month suspension earlier this year, went from being the
twenty-third most-trusted person in America to the 835th.
Apparently, he lied about many stories over the past twelve
years, exaggerating his role in the Iraq invasion of 2003.
Most recently, he said he was traveling in a helicopter
that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, but after a
veteran involved in the event questioned his story, Williams
admitted he was actually riding in another helicopter that was
about thirty minutes behind the one that was hit.
NICKI MINAJ
We can forgive Nicki for having lots of plastic surgery; we can
forgive her for lacking any serious musical talent, but saying
“F%$# you” to the legendary Steven Tyler on social media and
accusing him of being racist just because he criticized her as
a judge on American Idol is utterly unacceptable. Other than the
plain disrespect of a legend who is thirty-five years older than her,
didn’t she know that Tyler was responsible, in part, for helping rap
and hip-hop enter the mainstream when he teamed up with
Run DMC (“Walk This Way”) back in the 1980’s?
STEVE MARTIN
Steve Martin tweeted a joke that wasn’t funny and offended both
African and Italian-Americans in the process (which he later
deleted). He then offered his “deep, sincere, and humble apology,”
but also went on to clarify the context and origin of the joke
which made us think that he wasn’t all that sorry after all.
KEYSHIA COLE
After putting a Cash Money Records (her record label) employee
in the hospital because she thought the woman was sleeping
with her boyfriend (rapper and producer Birdman), she thought
the best way to make it up to him would be to dry hump a
piano. And no, that wasn’t a typo.
AMANDA BYNES
Instead of making headlines for her career, the fashion designer
and actress Amanda Bynes continues to run into one legal
mess after another. In 2013 she was arrested for several DUIs.
She has also been arrested for marijuana possession and
starting a fire near a stranger’s house. Because of this and
other erratic behaviour, Bynes was placed under
psychiatric evaluation.
HULK HOGAN
It’s really hard to imagine him being a racist but the fact is that
Hogan, arguably the most well-known and likable professional
wrestler of all time, recently made some inappropriate,
racial statements.
