it took us a while in the summer of 2010 Bynes announced that she was retiring fair enough but just one month later she was unretired then came the infamous Drake tweet in 2013 Bynes controversially tweeted I want Drake to murder my tweet Drake referred to as quote a little weird and disturbing the tweet garnered a lot of flack in the media and some people thought it was a little too graphic even though she was unretired Bynes his reputation was in tatters if they go to our church what will people say later that year she was held for a mental health evaluation and we all realized that this was far more serious than we originally believed number 9 Iggy Azalea during the height of her fancy fame Iggy Azalea came under attack for past tweets that many found to be both racist and homophobic tweeting things like when guys whisper in each other's ears I always think it's kind of homo the offensive and hurtful tweets did some irreparable damage to her career and reputation she dropped out of a gay pride event in Pittsburgh and canceled her great escape tour of course the latter was officially cancelled due to Iggy needing a break but most thought it was a combination of the Twitter backlash and poor ticket sales Iggy second studio album released in july 2019 only reached number 52 in her native Australia number eight Perez Hilton Hilton is certainly a controversial figure but he crossed a line in June of 2010 when his personal Twitter account supposedly linked to an upskirt photo of Miley Cyrus while the pic was quickly taken down witnesses claimed that it showed the 17 year old Cyrus climbing out of a car without any underwear Hilton faced immediate backlash and many people questioned if he would be brought up on charges according to criminal defense attorney Jeffrey Douglas quote all you have to do is knowingly distribute the photograph Hilton later defended himself claiming that Cyrus was wearing underwear and that the controversy was fake no matter the damage to Elton's reputation had been done and now there's going to be a million concerts and tours and movie but I only get one chance to go to call it as my best friend number seven Jason Biggs in the early 2010's Jason Biggs made a bit of a post American Pie comeback with the roles in orange is the new black and teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles however a series of offensive tweets got him fired from the ladder after Nickelodeon featured his Twitter feed lo and behold during the 2012 Republican National Convention Biggs tweeted quote I'd totes dip a pinky or two in Paul Ryan's wife's bleached both Biggs and Nickelodeon were targeted by parental groups and Nickelodeon reportedly told Biggs to knock it off he didn't listen and continued tweeting offensive things which included digs at Malaysian Airlines and Dead Bachelorette contestant Erik Hill the continued controversy was too much for Nickelodeon and they fired Biggs in 2014 number six gilbert gottfried this legendary comedian and actor is known primarily for his signature grating voice which has been used to great effect as Yago in aladdin and the classic Aflac duck unfortunately he lost the latter commercial role after tweeting one and then an extended series of very insensitive jokes following the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011 the massive earthquake and resulting tsunami killed nearly 16,000 people and injured a further six thousand 157 people weren't really in a laughing mood and seeing is how Aflac is a huge proportion of its business in Japan Godfried was quickly and firmly dismissed by the company so ended a decade-long iconic job and a reputation number five Azealia Banks at this point Azealia Banks is more famous for her social media presence than her music in March of 2016 her second mixtape titled slay Z was released to the public just two months later she found herself in hot water after aiming racist and homophobic tweets at Zayn Malik this included calling him the ultra derogatory f-word and a curry scented many called for comeuppance and Twitter answered by blocking Banks's account she was also dropped by her UK booking agents it significantly hurt her relatively young career but it hasn't stopped her from being provocative number four Cee Lo Green the Gnarls Barkley crooner was on top of the world in the early 2010's forget you was a massive worldwide hit and he was serving as a judge on the enormous ly popular singing competition The Voice and then he tweeted about sexual assault he was accused of giving a woman ecstasy before sex raising issues of consent she claimed to have no memory of the night and resulting events and CeeLo tweeted quote people who have really been raped to remember needless to say that specific tweet and it's equally bizarre accompaniments caused an enormous amount of controversy and CeeLo was effectively canceled at least for a while he subsequently made appearances on lip sync battle and the masked singer number three Anthony Weiner Weiner wasn't an entertainment celebrity in the traditional sense but he was a well-known public figure who had been in politics for many years I am NOT gonna permit myself to be distracted by this issue any longer that career came crashing down in the summer of 2011 when Weiner found himself at the center of a highly publicized sexting debacle on May 27th 2011 he accidentally posted a sexually explicit photograph of himself to his public Twitter account the photo was obviously meant for a specific person and Weiner was soon embroiled in a controversy that ended in him resigning from Congress it was a hoax it was someone sending a picture of a Weiner on weiners account it's one of the jokes I've been getting since I was five years old this was a gag this was a joke that someone committed on me to try to distract me but it didn't end there in 2016 it was reported that Weiner had been sexting a 15 year old girl a fact that eventually put him in prison for 15 months Weiner was hoping to avoid any jail time looking for probation his lawyers arguing that he's on his way to recovery and would not receive proper therapy inside prison number two Roseanne Barr Barr probably holds the record for the quickest collapse after a comeback in television history Roseanne was monumentally popular throughout its run from 1988 to 1997 and it was famously revived in the spring of 2018 now that's contaminated don't spoil your milk do they neither the first episode of the revival aired on March 27th 2018 and just over two months later to the day Roseanne called Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes this incredibly insensitive and racist tweet was widely condemned and Roseanne was canned the same day her career and reputation will never be the same again with that single inflammatory tweet Roseanne's rising star imploded today within hours the highly anticipated return of TV's most beloved shows Roseanne canceled and Roseanne Barr effectively banished from Hollywood before we unveil our most monumentally destructive number one pick here is an honorable or a dishonorable mention even if

many people don't like Donald Trump but many people also thought that Kathy Griffin went too far by holding his mock decapitated head I went too far I made a mistake and I was wrong the apology came just hours after the images went viral Kathy Griffin holding a bloodied likeness of President Donald Trump's head the image is too disturbing I understand how offends people on May 30th 2017 Griffin posted a highly controversial photo of her holding a bloody mask meant to represent Trump's severed head while she claimed it was meant as an edgy artistic piece some people interpreted it as an inappropriate threat of violence against Trump pictures and video depicting comedian Kathy Griffin holding the bloody decapitated head of President Trump are no joking matter for the Secret Service Griffin was fired from numerous gigs including CNN's annual New Year's Eve program all of her tour dates were canceled and she was even placed under investigation by the Justice Department the photo
