This is not a bashing thread first and foremost
This thread is merely meant to talk about decisions or actions that were controversial, questionable, or wrong in nature and the public has forgotten about it or don't bring it up
Marv Albert is still the voice of basketball but it's easy to forget he had a sexual assault allegation in 97. He bit on the woman, who he says the woman told her to do so and he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery charges after it was proven through DNA the bite marks were his
In a more recent example, former NBA player Greg Anthony soliciting a prostitute in 2015 and getting suspended by CBS

Hugh Grant also got caught with a prostitute, nobody remembers. I know it’s not fair but that’s pretty much all I know about him. And he did it when he was with prime Liz Hurley!!!

Mark Wahlberg for racially attacking Vietnamese people.
Even more bizarre is that he's a huge draw in Asia.

Jimmy Page supposedly had a lengthy affair with a girl who was 13/14.
Russell Brand turned up for his job as a host on MTV dressed as Osama Bin Laden. On September 12th 2001.

Matthew Broderick was driving in the wrong lane, hit another car head-on killing the two people in it. He paid less than $200 in fines.

Yeah, I’d say he’s as famous for that night out than just about for anything else in his career. The way he handled the aftermath was a big factor in his career surviving. He went on Leno and admitted the truth, that he was a f***ing idiot for doing so and was deserving of every bit of negative press he got from it. It didn’t excuse his act but he didn’t try and hide from it.

He worked for MTV Europe at the time and was basically a barely-functioning drug addict. He was swiftly fired. Later events over-shadowed this indiscretion, like the whole Sachsgate incident and divorcing Katy Perry by a text message. But the Bin Laden stunt is always my go-to reasoning for him being a c***.

I don’t know where you’re from so can’t comment on that but here in the UK it’s not a secret that Lennon was a vile piece of shit. The guy was a turd to his first wife, first son, best friend, even Yoko on several occasions. The homophobic stuff I’m not sure on, mainly because I’ve believed for a long time that Lennon was sleeping with Brian Epstein. Maybe it was Lennon’s way of “protesting too much” to try and admit he had relationships with men. Then again, he never had a problem with being coy about things.

Not really. He disappeared for about a year or so. He came back with a bunch of Disney projects, Dream Girls and that Shrek series was huge. I wouldn’t call that dropping out of the spotlight.

A lot of documentaries mention that he put his hands on his wife and never made time for his son
