Who are the celebrities you used to love who turned out to be awful people?

Inspired by my rewatching of Project Runway season 8 and Michael Costello currently being in the news. I used to love him. I still stand by him being great during Project Runway and hating that he got ganged up on. I hate bullying even of people I don't like, and Gretchen and Ivy were awful people.

But it turns out he's a racist, awful person now and probably always. So while I'm on his side on PR, as a person I can't love him anymore.

Warren Ellis.

*sigh* Yeah.

Manipulative emotionally abusive sex pest

What is a PDF besides a file that you can download?

Not necessarily loved, but liked at least:
Mel Gibson
Johnny Depp (I fully believe Amber Heard is also terrible, but I can't say I was ever into anything of hers, so she's not on this list)
Chrissy Teigen
Kevin Spacey
Halle Berry (the hit-and-run)

I wasn't like a megafan of his, but I enjoyed Noel Clarke's work and was enthusiastic when I saw he was involved with a project I was interested in. Loved Bulletproof and was looking forward to it continuing. Yeah, turns out he was a scumbag.

Robert Webb being a complete transphobe really tarnished Peep Show for me. Haven't rewatched it in years now, it used to be one of those I went back to pretty often.

Wait, really? I didn't know that about Robert Webb :(

I just googled and it seems as though he recently walked some of his comments back in a podcast interview. Fr what I can tell the aftermath of the podcast wasn't handled all that well by Webb and their management team though.

I have never really cared enough about a celebrity to be seriously let down by them (except for people who are apparently genuinely awesome in real life like Weird Al :D My hero~~~), but I was kind of disappointed by Michael Richards (speaking of Weird Al, heh) and Mel Gibson (still will not let it ruin the Lethal Weapon series for me though).

Not really a celeb per se, but, Joss Whedon. :/

Martin Freeman, not so much because I think he's a horrible person. I don't think he's horrible so much as just...unpleasant and a prick? But the disappointment hit harder because he made such a career out of playing friendly, unassuming everyman characters whom you're happy to identify with because they seem like nice, relatable blokes*. So to find out he apparently isn't much like the characters he plays was more off-putting than it would usually be.

*admittedly, John Watson became less and less of a nice chill bloke and more and more of a miserable ragey dude in need of serious therapy as the series went on.

Nobuhiro Watsuki.

I only ever had one song by the Lostprophets but I loved it - instantly deleted it after I heard the singer was arrested for being a major pedophile and child rapist.

I have issues with movies by John Landis and Roman Polanski.

Similarly, I really loved S1 of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, but can no longer enjoy it due to Max Landis being the showrunner and main writer.

I used to be the biggest Penn and Teller fan on the planet but I couldn't reconcile their libertarianism with my being on disability.

There are 1,000 reasons for Twitter not to exist and Kevin Sorbo's hourly shitposting is one of them.

not terribly terriblw but stephen amell

Basically any celeb who jumped on the anus tangerinus' bandwagon, especially if they're still there. Hard for me to respect anyone who supports a narcissistic, lying, cheating, incestuous rapist conman who's bad with money and incited an insurrection.

Bill Cosby. I used to listen to some of the albums from the 80s (back when comedy album were still a thing).

Arnold Schwarzenegger, way too much smoke about sexual abuse of fans from way back. Not that any of it is prosecutable, but I can't get "plo chops" (blow jobs) out of my brain when I see him on-screen.
