FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE SHATTERED OUR FAITH IN HUMANITY
Added on: 14th Apr 2016
MICHAEL RICHARDS
Michael Richards won several Emmys for portraying Kramer on
Seinfeld. During a stand-up performance on November 17,
2006, Richards was filmed screaming the n-word and
lynching references at a group of hecklers. He later
apologized during an interview on
The Late Show with David Letterman.
JIM BAKKER
Jim Bakker was a famous minister with the Assemblies of God
and a televangelist on The PLT Club. However, Bakker was
discovered conning his parishioners out of millions by selling
“lifetime memberships” that included access to a luxury hotel
he was building. Although thousands of memberships
were sold, only one five hundred-room hotel was ever built.
Additionally, Bakker paid $279,000 in hush money to a female
employee after she accused him and another minister of rape.
HILARY SWANK
The decorated actress received a fat pay check for honouring
with her presence at the birthday party of Chechen leader
Ramzan Kadyrov, who has been accused of political violence
and violating human rights. Swank apologized by pleading
ignorance about his reputation, even though a human rights
group stated that they had warned her team about him
weeks before her visit.
DOMINIQUE STRAUSS-KAHN
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former managing director of the
International Monetary Fund, one of the most powerful men in
relation to the global economy, and father of four daughters, was
arrested in New York for sexual assault and attempted rape
of a hotel maid, Nafissatou Diallo, at the Sofitel New York Hotel
on May 14, 2011. The charges were dismissed at the request
of the prosecution, which pointed to serious flaws in Diallo’s
credibility and inconclusive physical evidence, but
Strauss-Kahn’s credibility and career were damaged for good.
MEL GIBSON
Once one of the highest-earning and most prolific actors of the
last thirty years, Mel Gibson hit rock bottom in both his
professional career and personal life awhile back. After making
reprehensible racist comments about blacks, Jews, and gays,
he took it a step further by abusing his then girlfriend and
mother of his child, Oksana Grigorieva.
JOHN EDWARDS
During the 2008 presidential campaign, rumours surfaced that
Senator John Edwards had been having an affair for years
and fathered a child with a campaign staffer while his wife
publicly battled breast cancer. During a 2008 interview he
admitted to having an affair but denied being the child’s father.
In 2010 he admitted to being the father and was indicted in
2011 for using campaign funds to cover up the affair.
MILEY CYRUS
Having gone from being good, clean, and moral to totally dirty,
sexed up, and provocative, Miley Cyrus has been a huge
disappointment to all the mothers and daughters who
once saw her as a role model in Hannah Montana.
REESE WITHERSPOON
Reese Witherspoon had been the last remaining America’s
Sweetheart (after the fall of Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus
more recently) but that changed after a video surfaced of the
actress challenging a police officer who had pulled her and her
husband over on suspicion of driving under the influence.
What made things even worse is that she even tried the
“Don’t you know who I am?” card.
She was arrested anyway.
TIGER WOODS
Tiger Woods used to be a sports icon and what appeared to be a
true family man. However, he turned out to be an adulterer who
didn’t respect his wife and ruined his family over his sex
addiction and lies.
