exactly PC this was before social media took off it wasn't until the sketch resurfaced in 2020 that # Jimmy Fallon is over party made the rounds Fallon reflected on this as a quote terrible quote unquestionably offensive decision I realized I needed to get educated about how to stop the silence and the fear of saying the wrong thing by not being silent with rock standing up for Fallon All seemed to be forgiven until 2023 Rolling Stone published an article claiming that Fallon Tonight Show created a toxic work environment based on the stories of 16 workers there were complaints about

Scandal to which Del Rey responded quote don't ever ever ever ever bro call me racist accusing her critics of trying to start quote a race war and the fact that they want to turn my my post my advocacy for fragility into a race war it's really bad it's actually really bad number 18 James William Ross also known as Tyra Sanchez just because someone is spreading hate doesn't give somebody else the right to send equally insensitive comments back Tyra Sanchez learned this the hard way in 2016 several years after winning rupal's drag race my queen go girl yes wear this crown with pride the other Tyra is dead long live the new Tyra when Sanchez became the target of a mean-spirited tweet he suggested that the writer take their own life this Unleashed a swarm of backlash but Sanchez refused to apologize that was the opportunity for the fan base instead of attacking the person that's sending me the gun shoots and the guns I'm the one that gets attacked and the one that shamed and told that I should die or whatever RuPaul stood by Sanchez as some demanded that their title be revoked however sanchz was banned from dragcon La 2018 for making perceived threats online since then Sanchez was arrested for vandalizing the side of a building in 2020 3 years later he was apprehended two more times once for reportedly threatening a cop and again for publicly protesting with a sex toy number 17 Michael Jackson even in death a celebrity can face comebacks and cancellations nobody better exemplifies this than the King of Pop Michael Jackson had proven polarizing since 1993 and tensions reached their Apex with his 2005 trial with an umbrella a white suit bejweled vest spats and a wave to hundreds of fans Michael Jackson came to court determined to be found not guilty 4 years after being acquitted the world was shocked to hear of Jackson's sudden passing reflecting on his contributions to music various fans came to separate the artist from the art that was until 2019 when the documentary leaving Neverland came out reminding everyone of the allegations this prompted more people to turn on Jackson with the Simpsons burying the classic episode Stark raving dad of course I've heard of you I mean you'd have to be living under a rock not to know what' you say your name was Michael Jackson doesn't ring well have you heard of MTV n mot beat it you beat it Thriller what was that last one Thriller nope with MJ the musical being a Broadway Smash and Janet Jackson defending her brother in another documentary though this cancellation might not be permanent either number 16 Lena Denham when girls premiered on HBO in 2013 Lena Denham seemed poised to become the voice of Her generation I don't want to freak you out but I think that I may be the voice of my generation or at least a voice of a generation the more people heard however the less they wanted to follow Dunham on social media arguably the most infamous moment came in 2014 when Dunham shared a graphic childhood anecdote about her and her sibling over the years Dunham has made several other statements that she'd come to regret most notably comparing the Holocaust to Bill Cosby painting Odell Beckham Jr in an unflattering light and wishing that she knew what it was like to terminate a pregnancy Dunham would apologize for all of the above but she lost more fans upon defending girls writer producer Murray Miller amid predatory allegations she's getting a lot of criticism right now because she's been very outspoken before with believing victims and now in the case that involves her friend she's saying that we shouldn't take the victim at her word number 15 Jake and Logan Paul one's a boxer the others a wrestler and both should probably just stay off social media thousands called for older brother Logan to leave YouTube after he posted an insensitive video of a dead man on his trip to Japan I've never been hated by the whole world uh and it's it's been something to definitely overcome I will think twice in the future about what I post while this act had the most repercussions Logan has found other ways to get into trouble making negative comments about gay people and supporting scams like crypto zooo Jake is no stranger to scam allegations either although those don't even scratch the surface of his cancellations Jake has thrown a massive pandemic party attended a Scottdale Maul Riot and faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct it's devastating to be accused such a thing and correct me if I'm wrong but nothing's come from it legally right of course not we're not sure who would win in a fight but the real question is which Paul will get cancelled next number 14 Roseanne Bar some of this comedian's cancellations predate social media as we now know it her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner causing an uproar in [Applause] 1990 that was fairly innocent compared to the 2009 Hitler photo shoot that bar participated in for a parody magazine while that was meant to be satirical it was no laughing matter when bar started spreading conspiracy theories about the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018 despite all of this people were ready to welcome bar back into their homes with the Roseanne Revival that same Year Dad will you tell her how stupid she's been it's never worked out for me shortly after the season ended though the Conor decided that they didn't need Roseanne when bar made a racist comment about Valerie Jared bar left the spotlight but she still resurfaces to spread conspiracies number 13 Ezra Miller there was a time when it looked like Ezra Miller might be the next big thing in Hollywood especially after being cast as the dceu's Barry Allen oh my God flash hi I love you thank you you seem very nice also oh my God as the flash movies production slowly moved to the Finish Line Miller gained a dubious reputation Miller's history of legal problems actually goes back to 2011 when they were caught with marijuana receiving two disorderly conduct citations this was a small boooo compared to a 2020 video seemingly depicting Miller attacking a woman in Iceland things remained quiet on the Miller front until 2022 when it felt like they were being canceled every other week be it for their mult multiple arrests in Hawaii grooming allegations endangering a family on a farm full of guns or committing burglary number 12 Chris Brown for a lot of people Chris Brown's music is an afterthought compared to his problematic relationship with ran I didn't cause this I didn't do it this happened to me and it can happen to anybody there are a lot of women who've experienced what I did while the 2009 domestic violence case sparked the most backlash it's hardly the only time that brown has been cancelled in 2013 Brown had 1,000 hours of community service added to his probation after a hit and run incident although Brown avoided incarceration he found himself in police custody 3 months later after attacking a man seeking a photo Brown jumped between jail and Rehab receiving bipolar 2 and ptst diagnosis in the years that followed Brown was accused of pulling a gun on one woman and sexually assaulting another those cases didn't go anywhere but social media hasn't let Brown off the hook for his past Deeds I think this this album is what you know I want people to hear and want people to really get into so definitely this album is what I want them to talk about and not the stuff that happened two years ago number 11 aelia Banks it's been argued that aelia Banks is better known for her beefs than for her songs clashing with the likes of lady Gaga igy aelia and Nicki Minaj to name a few maybe there's rebelliousness in me no you will not box me and you will not quiet me the beef that perhaps ignited the most outrage was with Zayn Malik of One Direction on social media Banks made comments about the British singer that were seen as racist and homophobic Banks would later apologize but it wasn't enough to prevent Twitter from suspending her account she knows what she's doing but she won't stop doing it I think she's I've seen a change there to stop doing what have I what have I really done she eventually found her way back on the platform but Banks got kicked off again after making transphobic statements in 2020 Beyond these offensive tweets Banks has also divided followers on Instagram with bigoted remarks about the Irish and videos depicting deceased Animals number 10 Jos Weeden he was once among the most beloved voices in pop culture but the tidde started to shift for Weeden in 2017 when his unproduced Wonder Woman script was leaked online some found his screenplay sexist but since the film never got made people didn't dwell on it what are we going to do there's not much we can do that's who I think it is Weeden found himself back in the hot seat however after taking over the Justice League re-shoot any he blowback big time about 3 years later actor Ray Fischer accused Weeden of quote gross abusive unprofessional and completely unacceptable Behavior fellow Justice League actors Jason mimoa and galad do also spoke out against Weeden while Warner media launched an investigation the corporation said in a statement at the time quote remedial action has been taken adding there are still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found the controversy didn't end with the Justice League cast as Amber Benson Michelle tratenberg and charisma Carpenter of Buffy Fame have since recounted their allegedly toxic experiences with Weeden as well number nine Jeffree Star Jeffree Star broke out as a singer and fashion designer on MySpace demonstrating how social media can provide a gateway to immense success so I just started promoting myself and people started recognizing me for my image so that's how it goes at the same time social media has also been the forum for some of star's biggest controversies in addition to posting a long list of tweets labeled as offensive the YouTube star has also been accused of much bad behavior and trying to pay off his accusers I'm embarrassed in myself I'm embarrassed for my family that they have to see things online and I'm sad that Nathan and my friends have to go online and deal with this as well because of my actions thus star keeps popping up in the news feeds for all the wrong reasons perhaps the most infamous story involved rival Beauty vlogger James Charles dark thought there bringing back traumatic experiences hly yes I know we're having a little bit of PTSD right now um according to internet personality TTY Westbrook star quote used coerced and manipulated her into making a video that portrayed Charles in a deeply negative light Westbrook brought similar allegations against YouTuber Shane Dawson speaking of which number eight Shane Dawson the controversy involving tati Westbrook and James Charles sparked just one of the cancellations that Dawson has faced oh my

response to all the negative press Dawson posted an apology video entitled taking accountability I'm ready to to to own up to this stuff and I'm ready to hopefully show you guys that it's okay to admit when you're wrong it's okay to uh be upset at your past self for making mistakes but also it's okay if people don't want to accept your apology the video triggered a negative response from Jaden Smith about the portrayal of his sister Willow in one of the resurfaced clips family matriarch Jada pinket Smith wasn't pleased with Dawson either tweeting to him I'm done with the excuses shortly after the Smiths jumped on the cancel bandwagon Dawson's books were removed from Target's inventory while YouTube suspended his ability to monetize on his channels number seven DOA cat cats may have nine lives but there are only so many cancellations a celebrity can endure back in the day this rapper posted a number of tweets directed at the gay community that have been called insensitive when

dojacat few favors however y'all are so scared of some damn Corona not long after she downplayed the ity of Co 19 on Instagram the internet Revisited one of her old songs that mocked victims of police

with the law once more leading to a year of probation they got cameras everywhere you dummy I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with you stupid [ __ ] lauff appeared to be making a

well as accusations of mistreatment now to our GMA cover story FKA twigs is suing Shia lauff the first line of her lawsuit read Shia lauff hurts women number five the Kardashians and Jenners they're not my people if they're against this issue so big deal I'm I'm not like cheering them on you are you're voting for Ted Cruz you're cheering him on on where do we even begin the internet is constantly fluctuating between idolizing and canceling the Kardashian Jenner Clan while there are far too many scandals to discuss them all some resulted in bigger backlashes than others in 2017 Pepsi removed an ad featuring Kendall Jenner that was accused of trivializing the black lives matter movement 2 years later Kim's shapewear brand kimono was accused of cultural appropriation causing her to change the name to skims I definitely did not want to disrespect a culture that's not what the brand is even about it's about inclusivity it's about Comfort it's not about making people uncomfortable I just feel kind of dumb like why didn't we think about this most recently Kendall landed in hot water for throwing a massive maskless birthday party during the pandemic based on these photos many guests were not wearing masks now social media is lashing out despite constantly being at the roote of controversy the family always seem to bounce back from cancellation even when Keeping Up with the Kardashians

confrontation with Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs is what originally made Kanye synonymous with canceled yo Taylor I I'm really happy for you I'm let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos

election ballots despite previously suggesting that slavery was quote a choice in 2018 West upset many on the campaign Trail when he stated Harriet Tubman quote never actually freed the slaves she just had them work for other white people West didn't win but that didn't stop him from trying to make Kanye 2024 happen for some time though y's mental health issues shouldn't be discounted he has continued his controversial Behavior cancellations be damned number three JK Rowling if there's one person who audiences liked a lot more before they got a Twitter account it's JK Rowling for a period

wasn't renewed due to her statements about the transgender Community rolling was canceled again less than a year later when she commented on the term people who menstruate I'm sure there used to be a word for those people someone helped me out one um wimpund wad she wrote even as several Wizarding World actors condemned Rowling's comments she managed to get herself canceled a third time with a 3,600 word piece defending her views with her words she has moved masses of people across the world and has become one of the most influential writers of the Modern Age now she has taken pen to paper to make startling and deeply personal Revelations about her own life Rowling has also signed an open letter against cancel culture although some feel that she's missed the point repeatedly to all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished pronounced Radcliffe I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you number two Mel Gibson while Gibson was accused of homophobia in the late '90s his career didn't suffer any significant blows throughout that decade even as The Passion of the Christ generated controversy in 2004 before Gibson

not a bigot hatred of any kind goes against my faith and asked the Jewish Community to help in his journey through recovery from alcoholism although many were ready to cancel him for good Gibson's

have reacted to Kelly in the9 and early 2000s had it existed then do you like teenage girls when you say Teenage how are we talking much later the singer faced his most severe cancellation with the rise of the # mute our Kelly movement and the release of the docu series surviving R Kelly in 2019 Robert feels as if he's Invincible I can't be touched and in hindsight in society we kind of made him
