There are quite a number of celebrities who got drunk with their fame and wealth. They most likely lived to regret it or just disappear from showbiz. The analysis recently gathered by intoposts, also reveals the biggest celebrity rise and fall from grace to grass. The list of 10 celebrities who got too intoxicated by their fame and wealth is below:
10. NeNe Leakes
Leakes played the role of a drama queen in The Real Housewives of Atlanta during her seven season run on the show. She annouced her leave from the popular series and since then nothing has been heard about her.
9. Paula Deen,
In 2013, Deen was sued by the former manager of a restaurant previously owned by her and her brother who claimed that the celebrity chef had committed acts of discrimination and racism toward her employees. Deen admitted to using the N-word in front of her workers in a deposition. She was dropped by Food Network and she lost quite a number of endorsement deals.
8. Miley Cyrus,
The former child star turned a mega-star at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards when she joined Robin Thicke onstage for an amazing performance of his hit song “Blurred Lines.” Since then, Cyrus has grabbed quite a nuuumber of scandalous headlines in other bizarre ways: twerking with a band of little people onstage, dying her armpit hairpink, and posing nude with her pet pig for Paper magazine.
7. Judy Reyes,
Reyes, came into limelight from her roles on Scrubs, stars in Lifetime’s controversial series Devious Maids. The show, which also co-stars Ana Ortiz, Roselyn Sanchez and Dania Ramirez, was widely talked about upon its premiere in 2013 for its sexualization of Latina women. Interestingly, Reyes simultaneously experienced a big change in her acting career, which led to her appearance on the show been polarized, with large portions of adult Americans either liking or disliking her — with few people in the middle.
6. Robert Griffin III,
After winning the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and leading the Washington Redskins to a streak of victories, the young quarterback suffered a knee injury during a game against the Baltimore Ravens and subsequently reinjured his knee in a later match-up against the Seattle Seahawks. Contrary to what had been announced in a statement by coach Mike Shanahan, it was later revealed that Griffin’s doctor had never cleared the player to return to the field. Griffin underwent surgery in January 2013 but was never able to repeat his early success during the 2013 season. Rumors that later circulated indicating Griffin would return to the starting lineup despite the fact that his poor performance on the field caused a rift between him and his teammates, according to ESPN
5. Adrian Peterson,
In September 2014, the Minnesota Vikings running back was indicted on charges of child abuse for beating his 4-year-old son with a tree branch as punishment and causing multiple cuts, bruises and other injuries to the child’s body. Peterson was ordered to pay a fine of $4,000 and serve two years of probation in addition to 80 hours of community service.
4. Robin Thicke,
Thicke’s 2014 single “Blurred Lines” sparked debate about its controversial lyrics (“I know you want it. / You’re a good girl”), which some listeners thought insinuated rape. The song faced plagiarism accusations for allegedly ripping off Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up” in a lawsuit filed by Gaye’s family (Thicke and co-writer Pharrell Williams lost the legal battle and were ordered to pay $5.3 million). In the midst of the “Blurred Lines” lawsuit, the singer also went through a public divorce from longtime partner Paula Patton.
3. Mehmet Oz,
In April, a group of 10 physicians wrote a letter demanding that Dr. Oz be removed from his faculty position at Columbia University for his “egregious lack of integrity” and promotion of “quack treatments.” The celebrity doctor addressed his critics in a video statement, saying, “I know I’ve irritated some potential allies in our quest to make America healthy. No matter our disagreements, freedom of speech is the most fundamental right we have as Americans. And these 10 doctors are trying to silence that right.”
2. Ariana Grande,
The pop singer received backlash for her behavior at a local doughnut shop she visited with friends in early July. Video footage obtained by TMZ showed Grande secretly licking on-display donuts and declaring that she “hates America.” The singer has since issued two separate apologies for the incident, admitting that she was “disgusted” and “disappointed” with herself. Her career suffered grately for the statement she made.
1. Bill Cosby,
Cosby is currently facing rape allegations from nearly over 50 women who have accused the comedian of drugging and sexually assaulting them. In a dated deposition that has recently resurfaced, it was revealed that Cosby admitted to giving Quaaludes to women for the purpose of sex.
Cosby is likely the most disgraced celebrity in recent American history. Back in the heyday of The Cosby Show in the late ’80s, Cosby was loved by 70% of the united states population.
