Mike Rowe.

Had a really good following when he did Dirty Jobs and then did a hard pivot to conservative, anti-union, pro-profiteering talking head.

Anyone who does a "buy gold" commercial is instantaneously persona non grata for me. Such a remarkable litmus test. Mike Rowe is one of them.

Snoop Dogg. Black man playing songs at an orange man’s klan rally, at this point Martha Stewart is more gangster than he is.

By the same token, my respect for Kendrick went up 1000% after his halftime show.

Yup, coward has been in hiding since the first negative articles came out. Just another sad human showing his greed over what is right.

Hmm maybe there should be a new strain out there sold as Snoop Sellout Kush.

JK Rowling. Why can't she just shut up and write kids books?

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 71 points 1 week ago (5 children)

In that regard I have to praise Stephanie Meyer: she made her money and then fucked off, never to be heard from again.

Will Smith because of what he did to Chris Rock. Guy isn't a genuine role model anymore.

Came here for this one. Fuck "separate the art from the artist." I will never read one of his books again.

If he wasn't preachy/performative about his "feminism" it wouldn't be as awful

Feminism is in quotes because IMO he doesn't believe what he preaches

Bill Cosby. I was raised on Bill Cosby albums and TV shows. I can't listen to him any more.

American Beauty got me to like Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey got me to stop liking Kevin Spacey.

It's not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references

Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B'Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).

All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with "both sides" arguments.

It's sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.

musk

There was a time when SpaceX and Tesla seemed like they were gonna change the world for the better, less co2, going to Mars and he even gave a few talks at astronomy events where he spoke about how carbon capture on Mars could be used to make rocket fuel (which is real and has been done btw) and bring starship rockets back, and how that same tech could be used on earth to help fight global warming. The future was gonna be amazing and I honestly believed he was gonna help make it happen

there's a real reason marvel had him in iron man 2

Will Smith. More so for his inauthenticity than the slap.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 week ago

It goes back aways, but Dennis Miller went from borderline "edgy" to complete wimp and GW simp after 9/11.

why do you people love celebrities so much?

if someone handles a ball nicely, writes a book, sings a song or plays guitar, like them for that and stop assuming they must also be wise in family advice or politically savvy

Ricky Gervais.

Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his "edginess" and mugging grating.

I was a big fan of the superman portrayal of Dean Cain. Turns out the shit bag is as far away from the ethos of superman as you can be. Fuck him for staining a childhood favorite portrayal of one of my favo characters.

Roger Taylor and Brian May from Queen. Not due to them being overt assholes, but about how the treated the cinematic legacy of Freddy Mercury.

The blocked a movie idea with Sasha Baron Cohen playing Freddie in his flamboyant, over the top lifestyle as they wanted it to be 'more about the band' and they wanted Freddies death to be the middle part of the story, where the last half was them two (as Roger Deacon had walked away from them) protecting Freddies legacy.

I mean, the reason people loved Freddie was over his larger than life persona, and I'm convinced Cohen could've struck the note between the over-the-top, the fabulous and the pesonal Freddie.

Instead we got BoRep, which was an awful movie with a polished up storyline and danger free scenes. Also it was horribly edited.

I must say, they haven't done horrible stuff, they are decent individuals. But they got their succes out of working with Freddie yet they fail to see why everybody was so enchanted by Freddie and not so much by themselves.

Ashamed to admit I was once (pre-Sachs phone call) at least intrigued and open to the idea of liking the noted sex pest and abuser Russell Brad. Stuff has continued to get worse.

Had been a fan of Kevin Spacey, too.

Gaga and P!nk have also gone done in my estimations somewhat, but unlike everyone else no serious reason for it.

Obligatory Gaiman and JK Rowling, too.

Edit: oh, and Luis Scott Vargas. Abandoned his pregnant wife for someone else, and started shilling crypto. 😵🤷🏼🙆🏾‍♂️

Kevin Spacey. Bill Cosby. Danny Masterson. Steven Tyler. Anthony Kedis.

They are all gross now that I know more about them; some moreso than others.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 6 days ago

I feel like I'm the only one who was always creeper out by Kevin Spacey. American Beauty just seemed like blatant confirmation he was no good to me.
