No John Lennon beating his wives or verbally abusing his son?

No Mel Gibson? I'm a massive fan and forgive him for his wrongs but it's always seemed odd to me that Hollywood and his worldwide fanbase has forgiven him over and over again for being a racist alcoholic sexist.

I don't think people have "forgotten" it. He still seems to be a punchline to a lot of people. |

Wasn't there an article about this a long time ago?

Wasn't there an article about this a long time ago? there was; this one's a sequel of sorts. to be honest, nobody's ever really forgiven Vince Neil for what he did. he's still "that guy who killed somebody and only got 30 days because he's a rockstar". pretty much the posterboy for the ugly side of the cult of celebrity. even he acknowledges it's f***ed up that he only did 30 days. for him it's more like "the law was too easy on him for some dumb reason and he'll never hear the end of it". as for the Jimmy Paige story, I never heard that before but in my eyes that makes him just as bad as Roman Polanski (another child molester the idiots in Hollywood love to brown-nose for their own disturbing reasons). |

Didn't know about the Jimmy Page story. That's really about it.

Sean Penn was probably just upset when he found out how hung Warren Beatty is.

Michael Vick? Chris Brown? Still known for their awfulness, but not hated by as many anymore.... No Mel Gibson? I'm a massive fan and forgive him for his wrongs but it's always seemed odd to me that Hollywood and his worldwide fanbase has forgiven him over and over again for being a racist alcoholic sexist. He's been forgiven? I missed that memo. He's only done 1 or 2 indy/direct-to-DVD movies in the last several years, and MACHETE KILLS is his first appearance in a major movie since he directed APOCALYPTO. And I half expect that movie to be protested for his involvement in it. His career was killed by those voicemails (moreso than the drunk driving/racial yelling). He might be coming out of it now, but I'd be surprised if he ever achieved the kind of leading man role he had in the past again. |

He might be coming out of it now, but I'd be surprised if he ever achieved the kind of leading man role he had in the past again. He did The Beaver which although a flop wasn't direct to DVD it did only gross 958,000 USD total but I think the bad story is what cost them not the leading actors. He did Get The Gringo which had a limited release and lost a lot of money also. Machete kills will be an interesting one for him but with so many stars in that film there's less pressure for him to be a big box office draw. I don't think he'll ever regain his popularity due to losing his looks but he's still generally forgiven from what I've seen and heard. You might be able to do this sort of article with pro wrestlers You'd run out of people. Bret Hart cheats on his wife and admits it in his book= People are okay with this because Bret wrestles well Chris Benoit commits a double murder suicide= Some people still fans of his because he wrestled well CM Punk calls man a bunch of names related to his sexuality= People accept Punk bashing gays. Dynamite Kid bullies wrestlers backstage and threatens to shoot wife= People are okay with this Jerry Lawler allegedly has sex with a minor= People are generally okay with Jerry and still support him But if Triple H beats Brock Lesnar he is worse than Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and Satan combined. |

Matthew Broderick is the first thing I thought too. Nobody ever mentions it and it's a pretty big deal. He's lucky TMZ didn't exist in 1987.

Their careers have been completely overshadowed by their crimes, which makes them the exact opposite of everyone on this list. Mention Mike Vick, and all they will talk about is the dog fighting. Mention Jimmy Page, and no one will bring up the girl. |

Sean Penn isn't beloved. He's still a douche who sees himself as a modern day Che Guevara. His Falklands comments were obnoxious.

Chuck Norris would have fit into this list. A vile, ignorant, bigot in real life. Still glorified in internet memes.
