  • Woody had been in a long relationship with his girlfriend Mia Farrow when, in 1991, this 56 year old filmmaker began a relationship with their adopted stepdaughter, Soon-Yi, who was only 19 at the time
  • After finding raunchy photos of Soon-Yi one year later, she left and the press and public berated Woody for getting with a girl almost a third of his age
  • Despite this, Woody simply claims “the heart wants what it wants” and after marrying in 1997, they’re still going strong to this day with two adopted daughters

9 – Charlie Sheen

  • This is a period during 2011 when it seemed that Charlie was beginning to lose his mind
  • He spoke directly to the media, claiming he was a wizard with the veins of tiger blood, even lashing out against the executive producer of the tv show Two and a Half Men, calling Chuck Lorre a piece of shit, troll and stupid little man
  • He was promptly removed from Two and a Half Men and it took an entire year before he stopped turning every media interview into a PR trainwreck

8 – Michael Richard

  • It was 2006 when this Seinfeld star took to the stage in L.A for the Laugh Factory as a stand-up act
  • Unluckily some African-American hecklers were making a ton of noise and interrupting his performance, so Michael, already tense and nervous about performing, snapped and started yelling racial abuse at them
  • Someone in the audience captured his rant and posted it online, leading to huge media backlash so much to the point that he quit stand-up comedy and was forced to apologise live on the David Letterman show
  • He’s never really recovered since

7 – Paula Deen

Paula Deen Signs Copies Of "Paula Deen's Savannah Style"

  • A celebrity chef and cooking show host who, in 2013, admitted to using the N-word to describe African-Americans and that she was thinking about using waiters dressed as black slaves for a wedding
  • She attempted to apologise on Youtube but the damage was done – Food Network did not renew her contract after 11 years
  • Likewise QVC announced it was reviewing their business relationship with Paula to no longer use her name on cookware, books and products

6 – Michael Jackson

  • This man’s life was filled with scandal, a legend who defined pop music but ended up having his reputation shattered following child molestation charges
  • The media found an easy target for the singer who’d apparently bleached his skin, disfigured his own nose and hung around with children in his private home themepark
  • In 2006 the official court case surrounding Michael Jackson took place, but by then the damage was well done, and he died not long after with the stigma following his every move
