Will Smith because of what he did to Chris Rock. Guy isn’t a genuine role model anymore.
Will Smith because of what he did to Chris Rock
Honestly even now the whole things looks so staged, almost like they were planning for it to be some kind of inside joke and it went wrong?? I just dont get it, never will.
Pussy can make man crazy.

Yeah. He got slappy wid’ it.
Na-na na-na na na-na!
Will smith was a role model?
He didn’t have to curse in his raps to sell records.
We’ll fuck him, and fuck you, too!
Well, I do. So fuck him, and fuck you too!
…and he used to be well respected, it’s so weird to see what has become of him lately.
I is and was pretti insane in every interview i have ever seen after the prince of bel air, so idk.
90s will Smith was the shit.
Dave Chapelle

Yup, he turned into a dick as he got old. A lot of celebs do that, or they cant afford that PR team anymore that used to make the look like they werent aholes.
hes basically, why is everyone getting upset about my transphobic jokes. and then all the conservatives start flocking to his show.
Kelsey Grammer.
I still can’t believe he’s riding the Trump train, and is returning as Beast for the new Marvel films at the same time. The cognitive dissonance is confounding me.
Mamet went full MAGA
Kind of makes you wonder if he understood his own plays, right?
Joe Rogan!
Yeah early podcasts of hearing a dude talk about scouring the jungle so he can lick a frog for DMT was awesome.
his early podcast with kevin smith was hilarious because at one point kevin smith stands up to stretch his legs and he was so high he forgot to sit back down
Dick pills and Fleshlights forever!
Bill Cosby. I was raised on Bill Cosby albums and TV shows. I can’t listen to him any more.
My family had “The Best of Bill Cosby” album when I was a kid and we listened to it a lot. Some of the funniest bits on that album and I always had warm memories sitting and listening to them.
Then it comes out that he’s a complete monster. All those family memories tied to that now, it really sucks.
He’s one of the few people who’s work I can separate from the monster, but only because it was my first comedy album as a kid
Neil Gaiman
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
Yep. And to think I used to admire him. I’ve had some modest success as a published science fiction and fantasy writer, and I specifically cited him as inspiration for one of my published stories.
Wish I could take it back.
He believes it, he just doesn’t practice it.
Like most men in power, they use it as a way to get close to people they can assert their power or dominance over.
I think he believes he’s actually a feminist. it’s a subtle difference, but an important one. He genuinely believes he’s a good guy and the things he does helps more women than it hurts.
That’s why he’s a piece of shit and so dangerous. He believes his own lies.
Gaiman stole all his best stuff from Tanith Lee.
She takes all the Disney princesses and rewrites them as evil; Cinderella is a witch who drives the Prince insane and Snow White is a vampire.
She’s not the only one to do that. Many people precede her, including Rice and Biegel. Same within the retelling of myths and legends. Writers have been doing that for decades. There’s no need to make stuff up, he’s a horrible person without made up nonsense.
If you read her you’ll see what I am talking about.
One good example. In her book ‘Death’s Master’ she came up with hte idea that Death and Delusion were relatives. He expanded on that idea with The Sandman.
too bad he really 2 good series going on, the series cancelled them both, not because of his sexual harrasment/assaults, now they cant continue due to publicity anyways.
Same
Kevin Spacey
Kevin Smith.
I don’t exactly follow him but why? I’ve never heard anything controversial he did.
I’ve gotten into arguments with friends about this, but decades ago I stayed home from work sick and watched his Netflix special about how he got kicked off a Southwest flight for being too fat. I was raised religious and have evolved my thoughts over the years, but his parents were in a audience, and he said some of the most crass shit I’ve ever heard. My parents would’ve washed my mouth out with soap if I said what he said. I understand overall he’s very generous, but seeing his special left a bad taste in my mouth.
Plus, jorts.
Ok, so it’s just the usual Kevin.
They’re not jorts anymore if they go to the ankle. Whatever they are, they’re a sartorial disaster.
I think people here are taking OPs question a little bit to seriously and Kevin Smith is 100% a valid answer. The question was about someone you “liked” and don’t “like” now. Not, who turned out to be a horrible person.
Kevin Smith hasn’t done anything controversial and genuinely seems like a nice man enjoying life and good for him. But, artisticly his movies have fallen off considerably in my opinion and lack any effort/message. Personality wise he’s also made a major shift. Previously being more thoughtful and critical of things to now kind of just gone full “happy stoner shill”.
As someone who grew up in 90s New Jersey Kevin Smiths and his early work will always hold a special place in my heart but I’ll probably never watch anything new he’ll ever make the rest of my life.
Not OP, but mildly controversial was his movie Red State. It was a not-so-subtle take on the Westboro Baptist Church and their stance on gays.
Or maybe they’re still upset about Jersey Girl, which was way too common and wholesome for the guy behind Jay and Silent Bob.
(Hot take: if Jersey Girl didn’t have Smith or Carlin, it would’ve been mildly praised at the time and then mostly forgotten)
Dave Chappelle and Dwayne Johnson.
Why the rock?
Also of his volunteering with Oprah in Hawaii with the huge fire. Weird seeing humans that have exorbitant amount of money that can actually help, and they’re just passing out water bottles to the people that lost their homes saying that “they wish they could do more to help/hope things work out for them.” It was a publicity stunt at the expense of people who lost everything.
Look up his interview he did on Fox News last year. He basically blamed black people for there current situation in themselves and also said that Biden was a terrible president and he didn’t outright endorse Trump but he danced around it.
go figures since hes still with ASSOCIATED with the WWE fanbase, and in general vince who is a trump donor.
Awww maaaaaannnn… Tsk really? That sucks.
Edit, from Wikipedia:
As part of WWE’s non-partisan “Smackdown Your Vote” campaign aiming to encourage young people to vote,[405] Johnson had a speaking role at the 2000 Republican National Convention[406] and attended the 2000 Democratic National Convention less than two weeks later.[407]
Johnson voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012,[276] but did not vote in 2016,[408] and was an independent voter as of 2017.[409] He endorsed Joe Biden in 2020,[410] but told Fox News in an April 2024 interview that he regretted the decision due to it causing “division” and refused to endorse anyone in 2024.[411]
Imo not good, but definitely nuanced and probably not great. I didn’t see the interview though so I don’t know.
He’s trying to stay independent because he fantasizes about running for president one day. He even did a TV show where the framing device was him being interviewed as a presidential candidate, so they could show his life in flashbacks. It was an obvious ploy to position him as a legitimate political candidate in viewers’ minds.
Every rich and/or famous person now thinks they should be president.

Grumpy Harrison Ford For President!
Gotta protect the brand.
hes also a very difficult actor to work with in the industry, hes known as the “ellen degeneres” of male actors. must have as much if not more attention as the lead in a movie, or as much action or more action than other people. also hes pretty much attention seeker, and people compared him to dave bautista, dave is actor, and he only wanted the glory of a movie star.
Why the rock?
I believe he refused to endorse Kamala and then like a true coward said he was keeping his political views private, its was pretty sad. The pathetic coward was terrified of a maga boycott of his garbage movies.
Dave jumped off the cliff into the asshole abyss
I got about a dozen YouTubers and streamers that fit in this box.
It seems to be inevitable. They either stop posting or streaming, or they reveal themselves to be kind of messed up.
Anyone with colored hair that screams at the camera in their face is banned from my network. Can’t subject my kid to that trash.
Iskall85 for me.
Too long a list.

Adding Louis CK to the list. I used to like his shows, and genuinely found the writing and his takes to be thoughtful and helpful. Finding out he was gross and shitty the whole time sucked.
Him and every celebrity flying monkey that rushed to his side to defend him.
hes it disappointing he had the foreknowledge to shield his “cancellation” by moving it all online shows. he pratically came back amonsgt conservatives people and men who dint know his past history.
I never understood this take. Like, did you not actually listen to the shit he said when you “liked” his shows? Did you not see the skit where he went on a morning interview and told his female interviewer that he was going to jerk off to her later and there was nothing she could do about it? If so, how was it actually surprising to hear he jerked off infront of a female coworker after he told her he was going to do it? You can separate the art from the artist all you want, but at some point you have to realize that all that art came from somewhere.
A lot of his humor was based on things you want to do but don’t. So exploring dark desires that you should not act on is reasonable for comedy. Then it comes out that he did some of that stuff and it’s not funny anymore.
I believe that skit was about christofascist suppression of masturbation so it was appropriate at the time. The interviewer was surnamed “Fapper”.
I didn’t see that skit.
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.
Chakotey AND B’Elanna?! My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined 😫
Chakotey AND B’Elanna
Well they were Maquis after all…
Add the chick from season 1 of the mandelorian. She’s super gross and trumpy.
The buff one? I thought she was hot until I found out. Was very sad.
She’s still hot. And I bet some people find her hotter because she is clearly stupid too. Lol.
I thought the same when she’s chewing the match in Deadpool but then found that out and just kept rooting for Mando to discover she’s a spy and space her but they just wrote her out
Same
It’s extremely funny that she ruined her own career, including a likely spin-off starring her, because she wouldn’t stop comparing the criticism of conservatives and their beliefs to the mass persecution and murder of Jews during the Holocaust.
It’s also extremely funny that she went on to make a movie with The Daily Wire, no one saw it, it got called woke for being an action movie starring a woman.
To top that off, it’s also extremely funny that The Daily Wire is FULL of people who couldn’t cut it in Hollywood, so they kept self-financing their own shitty movies, and are now in financial trouble.
Her movie grossed $7.00
That’s SEVEN DOLLARS
And nobody in this thread remembers her name lol
Critical Drinker and his entourage can fuck off
gina carano? the former mma laday, ? who was also in ra3.
Aw I didn’t know about Roxan. That’s honestly really sad
Well, I always kind of hated Beltran as an actor. Really disappointed about the other 2 though, I had no idea.
Edit: I’m not seeing anything whatsoever on Google about Dawson related to Trump or even the Republicans, aside from one single Reddit post with a similar comment.
Weird. There used to be screen shot receipts I saw years ago.
Maybe she scrubbed it and turned a leaf? I hope so at least because B’Elanna was my favorite character.
