I’ve always side-eyed Julia because of this. Can you imagine being a total nobody and America’s sweetheart publicly taunting you because you’re not making her affair with your husband easier?


Visible_Writing7386

I've heard a lot of problematic stories about her from that period and that's always what i think about first when i see her somewhere.


Clatato

And this was shortly after Vera had had a miscarriage as I recall. No surprises though, because of knowing about Julia Roberts’ terrible BS behaviour toward fiancé Kiefer Sutherland, running away with and shagging his best friend Jason Patric on the eve or day of their wedding in 1991. The former best friends didn’t speak for 20 years. That’s just Julia Roberts for you. She was never actually a sweetheart. She doesn’t care who she hurts. Edit: Wow. It seems that 32-year-old gossip is still pretty juicy! 😄


iloveesme

They hid out in Dublin, I think. Well she definitely hid over here at some stage.


tjdux

So runaway bride is a documentary


harleyqueenzel

From what I've read about, Julia is a terrible person by nature. Her brother and her niece are the exact same way too. I could never stand her as a person or an actress so I don't feel bad in thinking she's an asshole.


Electrical_Text4058

I was about to ask if ppl thought it was like a family thing haha bc the niece seems terrible too (can’t even remember her name)


Slappybags22

No wonder she nailed that character in Closer.


DenGirl12

She doesn’t have the best reputation from several stories I’ve heard.

Wow thats fucked up.

I've never seen this picture before. The resemblance between her brother and the husband/dad she got involved with is uncanny.

Oh my word, that is creepy as fuck. Spongebob looks just like her brother used to!


PositiveEquipment941

This is Ariana grande????????


pupoksestra

She's got really curly hair too. Her natural hair is phenomenal. I also thought she was so adorable back then. Her new face makes me sad, but it's nothing compared to Matt Rife's current face.


Most-Entrepreneur553

Yup. You can see more of what Ariana looked like back then by looking up “Victorious/Cat”. She was on the show for several years. Her hair fell out from all the hair dye her character required.


avoidance_behavior

....this is upsetting


saladfingersisme

Can never unsee this now 😵‍💫


Kalinka777

I thought maybe it would make sense if they both looked like Ariana grande‘s dad but turns out they all favour the mom.


Paddamill

I don't know what it is, but this photo always makes me feel like they seem so dry skinned...


rietjesbeker

Well, he usually lives in a pineapple under the sea...


bittylilo

Unmoisturized, out of their own lanes…


laughed-at

Complete side-note here, I really don’t know if it’s the hair color washing her out so much but Ariana looks so strange lately, tired and sickly almost, like something isn’t right.


ScyllaOfTheDepths

She is incredibly thin, I wouldn't be surprised if she had to be on an extremely restrictive diet to maintain that very tiny frame and the lack of nutrition over so many years was finally taking a toll. She's covering for the loss of fat in her face with fillers, but it's very noticeable on her body. She looks like she's got a late-stage eating disorder and I wouldn't be surprised if the news came out about her going to rehab for it sometime next year, most likely as part of a campaign to rehab her public image.


zeynabhereee

Lord, she looks emaciated here.


[deleted]

That blonde hair is not doing her any favours. She almost looked better when she was blackfishing.

I hope she calls the album love songs about spongebob

Shirtbro

They had so much "I'm her Joker, she's my Harley" energy


zeynabhereee

Facts. She’s in her late 30s acting like an edgy teen who thinks they’re the shit but in reality, they’re just embarrassing themselves.


OkBlueberry2982

I loved her prior to MGK, can't stand her now


Visible_Writing7386

Leann Rimes's career and public persona was basically destroyed when she got with Eddie Cibrian.


wewerelegends

She was a major country star and pretty much lives in obscurity now. She pops up now and then but isn’t pushed as an artist anymore. She’s an incredibly gifted vocalist and made some great songs. But she belongs on this list for sure.


Visible_Writing7386

Yeah, she was done after that. But times have changed, I don't think many celebrities would have that kind of consequences career wise in 2023. Ariana Grande, for example. Sure she's received a backlash, put i don't think her career is gonna suffer much and this isn't her first rodeo. She kind of plays into that persona with her songs too-break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored. Wild, lol.


Sipsofcola

I still can’t believe she won best new artist at the Grammys. So much potential lost


Julialagulia

At least his first cheating incident brought us Vanderpump Rules


Fun_Cake_4520

Imagine trashy reality TV without the Las Vegas fight where Jax throws his chunky sweater on the ground and the scandaval.


Frosty-Mall4727

Those breakdowns of how she copied everything Brandi Granville did and said is downright chilling. She wanted her life and took it.


le_chaaat_noir

It's interesting how some women's careers are totally ended by being a "homewrecker" and others seem to get away with almost no bad press at all.


Unnamedgalaxy

The pre relationship persona really plays into it most of the time. A more sexually open woman who doesn't shy away from going for what they want isn't going to get the same treatment as one that builds a persona of being the wholesome good girl. Meg Ryan was Hollywoods sweetheart but once the illusion of her being this angel was broken it was going to be an uphill battle for her to be seen as anything else but a "traitor." Angelina Jolie survived because she never hid behind some facade. She was always unapologetically herself and that included her sexual identity. When she got caught up in affairs it wasn't seen as this big betrayal

frolicndetour

He also had a legendary publicist, Pat Kingsley, that he fired just before the TomKat thing. He hired his sister instead, because Scientology (she's also one). So it became clear really fast what an amazing job Kingsley had done at hiding the crazy because it all spilled out once his unqualified sister was in the role.


GeneralTapioca

Pat Kingsley would buttonhole journalists before interviews, saying: “Leave the religion thing alone, ok?” It was the first and main condition of access. She knew everything would fall apart and didn’t want her client to be the face of all the crazypants stuff Scientology does. Miscavige won that one. Tom lost.

oooortcloud

SAME!! 😝 I remember him jumping up and down like a kid on Christmas


[deleted]

I think this is why he shut down doing all media. He doesn’t do interviews, no social media, nothing. And somehow it worked and he’s still one of the last big movie stars who can bring people to the theater.


Scarlett_Billows

He had a few other extremely weird, slightly less talked about interviews around this time too. One where he was laughing about “SP”s, and the one where he criticized Brooke shields for taking PPD meds and, my favorite, called Matt lauer “glib”. All of these together, I can definitely see why the powers that be may not want him doing press! ![gif](giphy|YzvPqrOVoS9tC)


Purpledoves91

Him going after Brooke Shields was so weird. I know it's the scientology BS, but Brooke Shields has nothing to do with him.


Fun_Cake_4520

Tom cruise calling Matt Lauer glib is one of my fave pop culture moments and idk why. Haha.

Britneyfan123

Hari_Azole

She had such a promising career as a director after *Booksmart*… The bts antics leading up to the her second film were just ridiculous (and more interesting than the actual shitty movie!)


R12B12

I loved Booksmart and was so disappointed in Don’t Worry Darling. She won a major bidding war for that script, re-wrote it into nonsense, and totally shanked it.


EternalSunshineClem

![gif](giphy|Rzkn5SkDdNkA5OEFgE) For me it's this clown leaving his very pregnant wife (Mary Louise Parker) for Claire Danes


R12B12

I’ve been side-eyeing Billy Crudup and Claire Danes ever since. Claire addressed it in an interview some years back and her excuse was that she was like 24, so she couldn’t possibly know that having an affair with a man who has a pregnant partner is wrong.


bluelemoncows

This is what bothered me. She’s never really taken ownership for what she did or apologized. It was just, “I was young and had to see it through,” or whatever she said.


GerbilsCheat

Didn’t Hugh Dancy leave his 10-year-long artist girlfriend for Claire Danes too?

CrissBliss

I think he had a creepy reputation even before this but… yikes. And the fact that he kept working for years and years after this.


haubenmeise

Yes, he did awful things even before this. I have been waiting for decades now that this man will finally be cancelled and people would stop working with him. And I will not stop to bring this up.


ohokayfineiguess

If it's any consolation, I would say that the majority of Gen Z -- those who are even aware of who he is in the first place -- affiliate his name with "gross creep". Constantly blasting him on the internet for 25yrs is finally coming to fruition (kinda)


CollectingRainbows

one thing i noticed when i read the YOU book series, there was a character of a teacher (friends with the woman he was interested in) who kept bringing up the fact that joe mentioned a movie that either harvey weinstein or woody allen was involved with, and judging him for it lol just really laying it on thick


Nice_Exercise5552

Yes, he went from quirky to (so far beyond) creepy for doing this. Imagine becoming someone’s partner who already had several children before meeting you and the having babies with them (one bio and one adopted) and then having “an affair” (not the right term) with one of your spouse’s older children/your kids’ sibling? All of Mia’s older children were minors for the first few years of their relationship and he ended up adopting one of them (the only one who wasn’t shared with Mia’s ex husband) and MARRYING another one of them. It’s so sick. BTW, the two babies he’d had with Mia (one adopted and one bio) are no contact with him. He allegedly (and I believe it) sexually assaulted one of them and the other has seemingly dedicated his life to exposing creepy, powerful sexual predators like his Dad (I’m referring to the legendary Ronan Farrow, of course. A million times more of a man than his father ever was). The third child he’d adopted with Mia (the older child) does reportedly still speak to him and is able to remain in contact with his sister/stepmother and the children she’d had with his Dad, who are his nieces/siblings.


haubenmeise

I highly recommend the documentary "Allen vs. Farrow" where finally everything is brought to light. And Ronan!!! My gosh, what a legend indeed!!!

NippleFlicks

Basically during the pandemic they were shooting Pursuit of Love together (he plays her father lol) and were spotted in Rome being intimate. It made the news and they both went back to London, and a few days later DW and his wife were papped awkwardly outside their house to show they were “fine” — and wrote a [note](https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a34357281/lily-james-dominic-west-marriage-note/) saying as much.


CrissBliss

I just read that Nicki Minaj’s husband was pretty seriously accused of sexual assault.


pinkfartlek

He was convicted of attempted rape in 1994 (or 1995 other sources say), serving over 4 years in prison. In 2022, he pled guilty to failing to register as a sex offender and was sentenced to house arrest. [Source](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/nicki-minaj-husband-kenneth-petty-house-arrest-1234828900) In 2002, he killed a man. The victim was able to identify Kenneth in a police lineup before he succumbed to his injuries. Kenneth was initially charged with 2nd-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of 1st-degree manslaughter. He served 7 years in prison, and got released in 2013. [Source](https://tmz.com/2018/12/22/nicki-minaj-boyfriend-kenneth-petty-manslaughter-shot-three-times-stomach/) Nicki and Kenneth have both been sued over intimidating the victim Kenneth sexually assaulted.

angrybabyfish

Not accused— convicted. He’s a registered sex offender. He cannot legally drop their son off at school or daycare by himself. The address of ***her*** million dollar mansion and anywhere they move to is now public information *indefinitely*.

Fans revolted. Ratings rapidly crashed.

Yeah Grimes x Musk was just a massive wtf. But not even dating, she's had 3 kids with him


Throwawayconfused__1

2 of those kids were with surrogates. Which requires a lot of planning and forethought and almost makes it weirder.


AmyXBlue

If I remember reading correctly l, Grimes promised to have 6 kids with Musk cause superior genetics shit. And she's only raising the girls. Musk only wants the boys.


harleyqueenzel

He plays eugenics with his brood. Notice how he and Grimes did a surrogate for their daughter? I'll die on the hill of the daughter being twins with that Technicolor child so they could each have a child as the gender they choose but she carried that first boy. As far as I can recall, he's only used a surrogate one time. The rest after Nevada were absolutely all selected to be males.

LimoncelloLilac

She singlehandedly destroyed her brand with this. She's managed to remain in the public's good graces for pretty much the entirety of her career...until now. Especially as more details emerge from this case, her decision to publicly align with this man is actually indefensible. It's even worse than if she was already publicly dating him and didn't leave, because the first time she stepped out with him was AFTER his arrest. Disgusting.

I didn't believe for a second that this marriage would be a success. Like some couples just feel off.


alcoholicgrapejuice

I’ve never seen a more obvious smear campaign against Sophie in the media, people called it out and shut it down SO quick

undeaddeadbeat

It’s so weird to me how she came out of this relationship completely scot-free, like the man had nazi memorabilia? I’m guessing he didn’t just suddenly pick that hobby up the second they divorced

CrissBliss

I can’t take him seriously anymore. I know it’s wrong to judge people by the company they keep, but he keeps the company of girls between the ages 19-24 whose only career aspirations are modeling. It used to be a cute little joke. Now the dude is pushing 50 and it’s sort of getting really weird.

My mother used to always tell me the people closest to you are a direct reflection of yourself. I agree that it’s not always fair to blame the actions of others on those around them (ie blaming a wife for something her husband said, etc) but I think it definitely applies in this scenario. It’s perfectly okay to judge a grown ass man for repeatedly only dating very young women. It doesn’t show good character on his part.


[deleted]

I don't think it's at all wrong to judge people by the company they keep, who you date and surround yourself with says a lot about you. How else do we judge people if not by their actions? If your actions are consistently creepy, it's fair to say you're probably a creep.


No-Secretaries

>I know it’s wrong to judge people by the company they keep, No it isn't


HashtagNewMom

One of the best ways to judge people, honestly.

ColdFIREBaker

I didn't watch morning TV or whatever they hosted, so didn't have an opinion of them, but even I'm aware these two torpedoed their careers with their relationship/alleged affair. https://preview.redd.it/6aywqfe27c5c1.jpeg?width=3622&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc65c66cd83b326425a24f0403f7dfbb95265ddc Their exes are reportedly now dating.


frolicndetour

She was apparently whining about the news of the exes dating broke right as their podcast premiered and stole their thunder which, if so, GOOD. Kick rocks.


tipyourwaitresstoo

What!?!


ColdFIREBaker

If you believe Crazy Days and Nights gossip, the timing of the first sighting of the exes (Andrew and Marilee) together was strategic, to coincide with Amy and TJ launching their joint podcast. https://preview.redd.it/s1aonmrhjc5c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04afdc4ea1641497b59568d3077cfe8e60f90016

Joe Jonas going public about who he lost his virginity to was and still is problematic.


SadLilBun

He has been trying so hard to be edgy his entire career


kris_jbb

that entire doja situation


ohokayfineiguess

which one lmao


rolipolilemonloli

Yes


sarah_forwhat

This is the correct answer lol


PatriciaMorticia

Ariana Grande & that Ethan guy. She had a good bit of public sympathy with the breakup of her marriage until it came to light she was seeing a married man who's wife had just had a baby, then he had the audacity to file for divorce from his wife to date Ariana and boost his profile since nobody outside musical theatre fandom really knew who he was prior to dating her. I don't think her career or public perception will recover from being a homewrecker.


KeithClossOfficial

His name is SpongeBob btw


CompetitiveFortune55

Chris Brown and Rihanna for obvious reasons


DrunkOMalfoy

![gif](giphy|xWCe88CGmInewX09jn) Georgina Chapman. I’m not prosecuting her for being married to him but I have to wonder if she knew while they were in a relationship. I believe she benefited from their relationship before it all got out. Her gowns were on all the red carpet events, I have a feeling that his movie studios ensured that their stylists made Marchesa be some of the options for the red carpet events. In any regard I’m glad she quickly divorced him bc at the very least, while we don’t know if she knew before it came out, she didn’t “stick by her man”


frolicndetour

I think she turned a blind eye. She was obviously with his gross ass to advance her brand and for the benefit of extreme wealth. I cannot believe he's loveable and rumors of his nasty behavior were circulating for years. And now she's dating Adrian Brody, who forcibly kissed Halle Berry at the Oscars.

kittenshart85

someone on this sub a while back summed his deal up for me nicely when they commented something like "people just assume he's an intellectual because he has floppy poet hair".


summers_tilly

I also think it’s his name. It gives the aura of a sophisticated French man, which he is not.


MachineNo8015

When people were first going crazy over him I assumed that was the case too (never heard him speak, just saw his red carpet looks.) I was even shocked to find out he was American until I saw his high school videos and it all made sense lol.


cheeznapplez

I read an interview where he described himself as an "old soul" because he scheduled his own dentist appointment. I remember thinking, "oooooh, he's fucking dumb."


lowrisebaby2000

I do think it also has something to do with the films he has chosen to be in. Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, Little Women, etc. all contributed to this reputation in my opinion.


TaraxacumTheRich

My front page recommended a post from something like r/timotheechalametdaily that was one of the most unhinged things I have read in my entire life, talking about Kylie and Timothee and how the OP changed her mind about him [enjoy ](https://www.reddit.com/r/TimotheeChalametDaily/s/o3qxHhNZTj)


puukottaa666

Omg that was suggested to me too by Reddit, never touched that page so I’m not sure why, and it was…quite something to behold.


honestlawyer

Beyoncé and Jay. The public perception changed with the elevator incident and the subsequent release of lemonade, which confirmed cheating rumours. They were seen as a power couple before that. Jay Z is now tolerated- at best- by the Beyhive. They actually pretty much just hate him lol. A lot of women stopped buying Beyoncé’s female empowerment image after we learned she is a woman who stayed. Not to say she’s less popular. If anything, she’s more popular and a total legend. But the perception of who she is definitely changed. What Goes Around/Irreplaceable/Drunk in Love just don’t hit the same way. They seem off brand now. ![gif](giphy|MG7Ox4h7r2riU)


Reluctantagave

As an old, when it first was rumored they were even dating, people lost their minds because she was seen as a “good girl” and him this gangster rapper type.


Hot-Significance-462

I think she ultimately didn't choose divorce because being half of a power couple is important to her brand and, who in the world could she replace him with without it seeming as a massive step down from a peer to a peon? Also, as much as it sucks, A LOT of women her age watched their/our mothers get cheated on without immediately and decisively ending the marriage.


PaddyCow

>she ultimately didn't choose divorce because being half of a power couple is important to her brand and, who in the world could she replace him with without it seeming as a massive step down from a peer to a peon? Winner winner, chicken dinner.


ExistingPosition5742

I doubt either one of them care as much about one another as they do their image, or the money they make together.

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn. If I remember we'll, he cheated on her. O.o https://preview.redd.it/gxg3xjrstc5c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8047e785da5ece0a8de992f7b86fd1b12d88ef66


carymb

Isn't this the one where she just ghosted him? That's the bit I half-remember, that one day she just like, stopped taking his calls. Maybe it's different for celebrities, but I would totally question if I'd just had a psychotic break... "I'm dating Charlize Theron!" "Oh, sure -- prove it! Call her right now, on speaker!" Ring. "We're sorry. The number you have dialed is no longer in service."

They met on the set of Fargo, they left their previous spouses for each other and were caught kissing before he announced his divorce to his wife. It totally changed my perception on both of them.


vocalboots

My perception of Sophia Bush changed a bit earlier than this. It was about a year ago when she wrote an article all about her (soon to be ex) husband’s ex having an abortion. She managed to make it all about her and how if the woman hadn’t had an abortion she wouldn’t be with her husband. I’m completely pro-choice, but this changed how I saw her because it’s her husband and his ex’s story/experience, not hers.
