17 Actors Who Basically Destroyed Their Reputations In One Fell Swoop
Recently, Reddit user kf1035 asked, "Who is an actor who ruined their reputation in a single act?"
1. " Will Smith going from the low point of his career (slapping Chris Rock) to what should've been the high point of his career (winning an Oscar) in the span of an hour is wild."
2. " Jonathan Majors! The dude was on his way to becoming one of Hollywood's next biggest A-listers. He'd already been cast as the next Big Bad after Thanos in the upcoming Avengers movies. Then it all went away as soon as he was charged with assault."
3. "Michael Richards (aka Kramer from Seinfeld) after his n-word rant at the Laugh Factory."
— jazonbooze
"In his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episode, he seemed to really feel guilty still. He believes that he deserves to be shunned to this day. I'm not going to say I agree or not, but its rare to see someone in his position actually feel bad for what they did and show genuine remorse."
— StockAL3Xj
4. "Jeffrey Jones (the principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and dad in Beetlejuice). He pleaded guilty to being a sex offender of a minor. And he didn't just do one thing. It was years of crimes."
5. "Ezra Miller is a huge POS. I was really upset when I found out they were in a band I had on my playlists."
6. "T.J. Miller. I think the fake bomb threat on a train incident was just the final straw to kill his career. Seems like everyone he worked with thought he was an extreme narcissist and very unpleasant to work with."
7. "Armie Hammer. It's hard to see cannibalism in a good light."
8. "Terrance Howard seemingly became unwell within a year or two. He's now a straight up idiot psychopath."
— Jibber_Fight
"As a mathematician, I can confirm that Terrance Howard is incredibly batshit crazy. 1x1 does not equal 2, my guy."
— froo
9. "Kevin Spacey, but it wasn't one single act. The dude had been sketchy for years, but people ignored it because he's famous."
10. "I would say Logan Paul after his trip to that Japanese forest with the suicide victim, but then he and his brother scammed their own fans."
11. "Ellen DeGeneres."
— Friendlybay
"Single act? There are stories of her being horrible to her coworkers even back in her '90s sitcom days."
— Forward_Steak8574
12. "Woody Allen probably shouldn't have married his step-daughter."
— Total_Membership_171
Author's note: Soon-Yi Previn was never Woody Allen's step-daughter, although it's an understandable mistake to make. Mia Farrow adopted Soon-Yi in 1978. In 1980, when Soon-Yi was 9 or 10, Mia started dating Woody Allen. He and Soon-Yi began dating in 1991, and they married in 1997. Soon-Yi defends her relationship with Woody Allen. They remain married to this day.
Perhaps unrelatedly (you decide), RAINN defines "grooming" as a "tool common to those who sexually abuse kids" and "manipulative behaviors that the abuser uses to gain access to a potential victim, coerce them to agree to the abuse, and reduce the risk of being caught. While these tactics are used most often against younger kids, teens and vulnerable adults are also at risk." Notably, grooming is "usually employed by a family member or someone else in the victim's circle of trust."
13. "Mel Gibson. It was wild hearing that antisemitic rant. I know he's still doing stuff, but I never saw him the same way after that."
14. "Roseanne Barr lost her show because of a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett. She'll never get another show now that she's gone full MAGA."
15. "Gina Carano's offensive tweets. The way she kept doubling down every time she was given an out was the most surprising part for me. You're being offered a ladder to get out of this hole — why are you digging even harder?"
16. "Winona Ryder's career took a hit because she was caught shoplifting."
17. "Steven Seagal seems to have devoted the second half of his life to destroying anything of value from the first half."

'Elio' star Zoe Saldaña lives for winning 'cool mom points' with her kids
How does Zoe Saldaña follow up an Academy Award win? By starring in a Pixar animated movie. Her kids think one is cooler than the other, and it might not be the one you expect. 'Definitely winning an Oscar, because they're playing soccer right now,' Saldaña says. 'They're like, 'Mom! Oscar is like the World Cup!' And then my third son was like, 'What? You got it for supporting actress, right?' And I'm just like, 'Oh, Zen. Thank you for keeping me on my toes.' 'But they're always proud of the fact that I'm making an effort in wanting to cater to films that they can watch right now.' Saldaña has starred in big franchises like 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Avatar' but also stayed busy in the animation space, with roles in the 'Maya and the Three' miniseries, 'Missing Link,' 'My Little Pony: The Movie' and now Pixar's 'Elio.' Saldaña voices Olga Solis, the aunt and guardian of an 11-year-old boy named Elio (Yonas Kibreab) who wishes he could be abducted by aliens and is picked up by a spaceship full of colorful creatures. The "Emilia Pérez" star always wants her sons – twins Cy and Bowie, 10, and Zen, 8 – to be proud of her, and 'my kids are absolutely revelations to me every single day,' Saldaña says. 'They're my biggest teachers. And obviously I say that behind their backs. I never want them to feel completely responsible for my growth, but they are teaching me a lot by just growing around me and evolving and setting their boundaries and claiming their space and revealing themselves to themselves.' By being in stories that appeal to younger audiences, 'it just contributes to my deeper education on wanting to know how to be a better mom to my kids,' she adds. 'I just want to be cool for a longer time than possible. In my mind, I feel like that this gives me cool mom points.' Her character in 'Elio,' though, has to figure out how to be a mom. Olga is an Air Force major who's put her dreams of being an astronaut on hold to care for her nephew, and they struggle to get along. When Elio gets beamed up to space and goes on his adventures there, a clone Elio is sent back to Earth to take his place. And this one, Elio 2.0, is agreeable, generally compliant and overall 'too perfect,' Saldaña says. 'That sounds in theory like a perfect Mother's Day, where the mom has a yes day,' Saldaña says. 'Can I make you some broccoli with that? Yes. Do you want to pick up after yourself? Absolutely. But if that were to happen in reality in my life, I would be like at the hospital with my kids, like there's something wrong with my child. Why he's saying yes to everything I'm proposing?! 'With Olga, even though everything on the surface was fine, something was unsettling. That woke up that maternal instinct in her to, to really say, 'OK, I may not understand my kid, but I love my kid so much so that I know when he's off, I know when he's not being himself.' ' Saldaña, who next stars in "Avatar: Fire and Ash" (in theaters Dec. 19), enjoys collaborating with kids on movie projects. 'It's shorter work hours when you work with children,' she says. 'You don't have to do those long 14-hour days. If all your scenes are with that child, you get to go home when they go home and I kind of love that. 'It's easier for me to work with other kids than to work with my own. I can't really imagine ever being able to work with my own kids because I wouldn't be able to separate being their mom at all times.' A couple of Saldaña's sons have expressed some interest in acting. She and husband Marco Perego 'would support our children if this is what they would want to pursue," Saldaña says. "But so far, the moment we go, 'Well, come on, let's wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, let's get on the road for two hours, let's memorize these 10 pages,' they're like, 'Uh, I don't think so.' '
