Program destroyed a person’s career livelihood or well-being trigger warning there are discussions of sensitive topics ahead what’s the most shocking Fallout from a TV show you’ve ever seen Heidi Montag the hills as it turns out starring in a controversial reality Series has its drawbacks I almost died after my

Procedure you know I had too much dial like Michael Jackson did for Heidi Montag that meant a NeverEnding new cycle of Scandal and controversy not just on her as a person but on her body too eventually the scrutiny pressured the 23-year-old to undergo a staggering 10 cosmetic procedures in a single day I

Had my ears pinned back I had injections in my lips I had my chin shaved down the Fallout from these procedures caused a massive Rift between Montag and her mother this comes after montag’s mean girl Persona on the show had already cost her the relationship with her best

Friend with all that being said it’s no surprise to hear that Montag doesn’t have many nice things to say about her time on the Hills the industry in general has wanted to like Outcast me and make me negative constant woo fresh off the boat in a single ill-advised

Tweet constant woo rocked the boat in all the wrong ways after spending five seasons as the Hang family matriarch she was clearly ready to move on Louis you didn’t tell me Allison was Chinese this is the only only surprise you’ve ever given me that I liked so when fresh got

Renewed for his sixth go around wo took to Twitter to vent her frustrations to put it lightly the internet did not take it well woo faced an onslaught of backlash ranging from fan disappointment to calling her ungrateful to even deeming her a quote unquote blight on the Chinese American Community what was

It that cut so deep for you she basically said I had become a blight on the Asian-American Community unable to cope woo attempted to take her own life back in 2019 luckily she has since prioritized her mental health and slowly begun to step back into the Limelight

Charles omeni The Real Housewives of DC as a well-respected photo journalist Charles omeni spent most of his career behind the camera rather than in front of it his wife cat though she was a different story I’m here for a good time not a long time cat allegedly convinced

Him to star in the DC spin-off of Real Housewives suddenly it wasn’t just Charles oman’s work making the news I moved out to Washington to join my childhood sweetheart it was reports on the latest episodes editorials on he and Cat’s divorce and his wife’s rumored fling with Prince

Just like that omeni lost his anonymity and with it the chance of being an effective journalist at least in Washington day in the office cool to this day the now divorced photographer still credits the show as his biggest regret and I know you’re so humble and

Modest about your work but I’m not Carly Red Love and& Hip Hop Atlanta on paper starring in a hit reality franchise screams breakout roll but in this case it did the exact opposite Carly Red’s scen stealing work in love and& hip-hop typ Caster is anything but a serious

Actor you weren’t doing this to day that I asked her the question [ __ ] cuz I had to go home and think about what question that you asked me one you had to go home and think about it it’s doubly ironic since by her own account red only joined

The show in the first place to get her foot in the door and yet since then she struggled to command respect from certain directors and casting agents at this point Red’s even resorted to auditioning under a pseudonym I’m sorry what you blaming me for this while her

Acting career is far from flatlining you can’t help but wonder what could have been had she never joined Love & Hip Hop Margaret show all- American Girl on one hand this groundbreaking sitcom marked one of the very first Prime Time series to focus on an Asian-American family you

Cannot wear dad for a traditional boy fine what do you want me to wear on the other it’s also perpetuated many harmful and Flatout offensive stereotypes by Cho’s recollection the network flip-flopped on whether she was too Asian or too overweight is that all you’re eating yeah I want to diet you

Don’t need to lose weight maybe you’re right although All-American Girl only lasted one short season Cho developed alcohol and substance use disorder which would persist for much longer but for a lot of conservative Koreans it was really um it was really treacherous it took years to overcome but soon enough she

Would regain ownership of her career nowaday she’s rightfully taken her place among the best comedic talents of the generation vista baby Charles rocket and the rest of the cast Saturday Night Live changes hard especially in Hollywood so when NBC retooled this live show with a brand spanking newcast you could say there was

Some trepidation especially for Charles rocket who is pitched as a mashup of Bill Murray and Chevy Chase underground Manhattan New York City and we’re in the Subways with our host Charlene Tilton despite some worthwhile segments here and there audien has agreed that this updated cast simply couldn’t hold the

Candle to the original Charles rocket with Charlene Tilton in New York in the Subways we’ll see you again some other time ratings fell to worrying lows and when rocket let F bomb slip on air he and most of the new cast were finally kicked to the curb Charlie how are you

Feeling now after you’ve been shot oh man it’s the first time i’ ever been shot in my life I’d like to know who did it that blunder never truly left Rocket’s image he mainly popped up in bit parts or supporting roles until he tragically took his own life in 2005

Kelly McGee Extreme Makeover misguided or not this reality show gave Delise Williams the chance to be confident in her appearance for the first time she auditioned passed their medical exams and finally flew out to Los Angeles for her life-changing cosmetic surgery but it never happened out of nowhere the producers backtracked on Williams

Involvement and sent her home more ashamed than ever before still no one took it harder than her sister Kelly McGee the show had goated her into making several disparaging remarks about Williams appearance despite the circumstances McGee was never able to overcome the crippling guilt and later died of an overdose in 2004 Williams

Raised the two children she left behind dick Bewitched long before he took up the mantle of Darren Stevens Act Dick York suffered a debilitating back injury from the film they came to cordora for several years Bewitched accommodated his limitations with clever blocking and frequent rewrites you’re a what I’m a

Witch but unfortunately all it did was prove that York wasn’t cut out to be a leading man anymore after he collapsed on set during season 5 York left the show for good to focus on his recovery it took a battle with opioid use disorder but eventually he tried to

Stage a comeback alas his career had already fizzled I have yet to see a table lighter that works just once I would like to see while he only ever booked two roles post Bewitched York maintained High Spirits up until his death in 1992 Gia alamon The Bachelor there’s no

Happily ever after in this story G wake up pleas don’t go to sleep I’ll be there in 12 hours back in 2010 Gia aland Rose to fame as a prominent contestant on the 14th season of The Bachelor while she didn’t walk out with a ring on her

Finger she did earn a whole lot of publicity and not all of it was the good kind I I was surprised that he sent you home you must have been really surprised you know I was surprised because I finally like took that extra step and I

Opened up to him the pressure on aland only grew as time went on especially when she entered a tumultuous relationship with NBA player Ryan Anderson eventually got to be too much on August 12th 2013 alamon attempted to take her own life 2 Days Later another attempt would result in her tragic

Passing Janette mcer I Carly and Sam and Cat you could fill a whole book with the vile things that that went on behind the scenes of this Nickelodeon franchise hey just cuz our show isn’t reviewed on nevelocity doesn’t mean it’s not cool in fact Janette mccartie did and some of it

Is almost too harrowing to repeat whether it was at home or on set it’s clear that the trauma she endured had a major impact on her physical and emotional well-being mcer isn’t the only one with conflicted memories though while not nearly as severe her co-star Noah monk is still treated as the butt

Of fan jokes because of his work as the Dopey character Gibby gibster what up little weirdo not much neither actor returned for the I Carly reboot in 2021 and we don’t blame them will you just please let us out of here from the small screen to the big

Screen we go as it’s now time to see all the many movies that have altered lives in the worst way possible Tony here’s your quarterback all right you protect his Blind Side when you look at him you think of me welcome to watch Mojo and today we’re

Counting down our picks for the top 10 movies that ruin people’s lives I think he’s just tired of it it you know he’s 29 years old and they’re wanting him to talk about when he was 16 you know he’s been through a Super Bowl he thinks that’s probably more interesting than

Than a movie that’s been out for 7even years for this list we’ll be looking at the most detrimental effects a Film Production had on one or more people what other stories of ruinous Motion Pictures have you heard number 10 sideways Mero Growers and if they want to drink Mero we’re

Drinking Mero no if anybody orders Meo I’m leaving Alexander Payne’s dramedy about two wine connoisseurs touring Santa Barbara County had a surprising ripple effect audiences seem to have been paying close attention to the wine preferences of Paul giamatti’s character miles why are you so indino I mean it’s like a thing with

You uh I don’t know I don’t know um It’s A Hard grape to grow while sales of P Noir which he loved saw a significant bump those of Mero which he detested fell by 2% this proved financially disastrous and California’s wine country where Mero accounted for

Around 20% of sales it took nearly two decades for the market to bounce back in that time many wine makers found their livelihoods compromised by one single movie just don’t give up right you’re going to make it half my life is over and I have nothing to show

For it nothing sideways may be widely acclaimed but it doesn’t have as many fans in the wine industry as you’d think number nine the Goonies Sandy Preston I just saw the most amazing thing in my entire life first you got to do the Truffle Shuffle come on do it come

On do it the Walsh house in atoria Oregon is The Treasure of adventurous Goonies fans around the world one such fan a woman named Sandy Preston bought the property in 2001 but realized that her dream was actually a nightmare the house soon became overwhelmed with visitors some of whom even stole her

Wallpaper paper Preston subsequently became much less welcoming thankfully without resorting to the frell’s attitude towards trespassers hit pure no I’m too young I want to play a violin not my hand she just briefly forbade visitors following the film’s 30th Anniversary event in 2022 Preston listed the house for $1.65 million and

Was sold in just 6 days well that might not make up for over 20 years of intrusion we hope the new owners get a better return on on their investment forties around the world just know this this is our time it’s our time right now number eight Deliverance the people of

Raybun County talk about genetic deficiencies that pitiful who’s picking a b you here the groundbreaking Thriller Deliverance practically made Georgia a highly sought-after Film Production destination however the movie still has a more mixed reputation among the residents of Raybon County where it was shot went we can

Talk this thing over what is it you you require of us well we uh require that you get your goddamn ass up in them Woods all right now look you hear okay all right sure the economy flourished from tourism along the chatuga river but the local population

Has had to suffer overcrowding in their community and ruin a stigma Beyond Deliverance has been credited with widely popularizing degrading frightening stereotypes about the Deep South that persist today the people of Raybon County are of course facing this fall out more directly don’t come back up

Here you don’t have to worry about that sherff banjo boy Billy Ren may still encourage his community to embrace their place in film history for many of his neighbors though that’s not worth Decades of negative perceptions can you play the band Jo Forest nope you can’t play it at all nope

Number seven The Blind Side Michael or for every fan of the sports biopic The Blind Side there’s a Critic of its questionable racial representation one of them is Michael Ora himself whose life to film is based on and I promise that I will be at every game cheering for you every game every

Game the former NFL lineman felt that the movie belittled his intelligence and agency in his athletic career he also alleged that this negatively affected his status on the field uh when I could have dropped out in sixth seventh grade man and when somebody else get that

Credit yeah it pisses you off piss me off or tried to set the record straight with an autobiography that elaborated on his disappointment in The Blind Side and his offensive Liberties but by then the damage was seemingly already done it’s really really Sad I think you just found something to write about Michael just goes to show that even an Underdog Story with the best of intentions can apparently Blindside its subject number six The Conjuring Gerald hellick and Norma suck Cliffe want to play hide and clap the parent family may have dealt

With Supernatural Intruders in 1971 but Gerald hellick and Norma suck Cliffe were later haunted by many physical ones we have no longer have any sense of Peace no privacy is totally gone edin lra Warren’s paranormal investigation in the parents Farmhouse was the basis for the 2013 Smash Hit The Conjuring this

Launched a film franchise and horror fan pilgrimages to the Rhode Island plot then owned by hell frge and suck Cliffe the couple not only dealt with trespassers but vandalism and threats of violence naming some 500 incidents they sued the film’s producers for damages in 2015 it is harassment

Stalking and and that’s how it comes across to us four years later hridge and suck Cliffe finally sold the house to paranormal investigators who converted it into a museum the nightmare was over with a family driven out of their home of 32 years number five Aaron Brockovich

Aaron Brockovich what can I do for you Aaron well believe it or not I’m on the prow for some water records you come to the right place I guess I did single mother and pargal Aaron Brockovich saved a lot of lives by exposing groundwater contamination in hinley California the

Julia Roberts LED film about her Crusade was a massive success and made Brockovich a celebrity environmental activist this newfound status however came to be a major burden and I could see that it was affecting my children um my relationship my friends I could see jealousy coming up I could see anger I

Could see frustration uh I could see people’s agendas exhausting public pressure and professional obligations frequently tore Brockovich away from her children she even struggled to find time to support her daughter Elizabeth through struggles with substance use disorder what happened was it became more important to earn that next paycheck it became more

Important oh I have to do an interview than it was to see that I had a kid maybe in trouble more than 20 years later Brockovich is still fighting the good fight in the public eye her family is also in good health but as tough as their lives were

Before they became movie stars Fame apparently didn’t bring much Fortune six that’s how old my other daughter is eight is the age of my son two is how many times I’ve been married and divorced 16 is the number of dollars I have in my bank account 850 3943 that’s

My phone number and with all the numbers I gave you I’m guessing zero is the number of times you’re going to call number four the message Benet Bri hostages Muhammad when I hunt the desert at night I know God he not kept in the house by the 1970s misrepresentation of Islam was

Becoming widespread in Western media syrian-american filmmaker Mustafa akad responded with an epic dramatization of the religion’s found ing the prophet has seen you you’re not the Rope or drag the prisoners they have roped us cut them loose the message was both critically acclaimed and controversial though aad was careful to avoid directly depicting

The prophet Muhammad the extremist hanafi movement mistakenly believed that Hollywood star Anthony Quinn was cast in the part they retaliated with an armed Siege of the Washington DC chapter of the Jewish Service Group Bay brith this resulted in the message being temporarily pulled from theater and failing at the box office worse the

Hostage crisis ended in the loss of two lives and unimaginable trauma even today the horror of it all still causes me feelings of pain and anxiety despite a cod’s noble intentions this tragedy shows the consequences of any movie’s message being misconstrued number three Lam Man David

Piper this isn’t just a thousand to one shot this is a professional Blood Sport and it can happen to you and then it can happen to you again as an avid Motorsports Enthusiast Steve McQueen was heavily invested in the production of his 1971 film about the

Racing tournament 24 Hours of Le man the project was plagued by multiple difficulties and eventually bombed at the box office with polarized reviews this was by no means its only tragedy veteran driver David Piper participated in one of the racing sequences and crashed his signature Porsche 99177 in

The process the resulting in injuries were so severe that one of his legs had to be partly amputated when people risk their lives shouldn’t it be for something very important well better be Piper would go on to race again years later but what should have been a small movie part

Essentially turned out to be a life-threatening tragedy darling does it really matter yes it does but you all to quit anyway yeah but not this way number two War Games Aaron Schwarz wouldn’t you prefer a good game or chess later let’s play global thermonuclear war the dangers of computer hacking went mainstream with

The ‘ 80s cult classic war games it even influence the United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act the punitive measures the bill outlines might not be unreasonable for a hacker who nearly triggers a nuclear war alas its broad definition of unauthorized computer access meant tragedy for internet

Activists Aon Schwartz I mean what do you believe needs to be done to modernize that law well at at the moment that law makes it a felony for you to give your password to HBO to a friend that has to be changed in 2011 Schwarz was charged with hacking into mit’s

Network to download academic articles the university didn’t want to file charges but but with Federal prosecutors taking over Schwarz was likely to face devastating fines and prison time just before his trial he took his own life if do you believe that if the criminal justice system hadn’t failed Aaron do

You believe he’d be alive today without question hacking may be no game but this was just the most high-profile of many extreme legacies of the so-called war game scare number one Citizen Kane William Randolph Hurst hello Jed hello Charlie I didn’t know we were speaking sure we’re speaking Jedediah you’re fired newspaper Tycoon

William Randolph Hurst was considered one of the most powerful Americans of this day few of his yellow journalism stories were as sensationalist as Tales of his own corruption and villainy this was the main influence for the tragic lead in Citizen Kane no I don’t know many people I know too many people

People I guess we’re both lonely Hurst was highly offended by this project particularly Charles Foster Kane’s lonely demise as he reportedly had an acute fear of Death despite his best efforts to suppress its release Citizen Kane has become recognized as one of the greatest films ever made just as it Source feared The High Society secret about his true character had been published Hurst lived the rest of his life in luxury but Citizen Kane sealed a negative spin on

His fate and Legacy you know Mr Bernstein if I hadn’t been very rich I might have been a really great man okay what’s that saying again there’s no such thing as bad publicity well that might not be exactly true because as we’re about to see sometimes just one little interview can ruin

Everything you continue to trash her okay I’m done with this no no no sorry welcome to watch Mojo and today we’re counting down our picks for famous folks who severely damaged their reputations for a time after scandalous behavior in a single interview even if they have

Since bounced back yes or no did you ever take baned substances to enhance your cycling performance yes number 20 Wen Phoenix today wiin Phoenix is a multi-time Oscar nominee and winner but in 2009 his career was in a very different realm after appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman is

There something wrong I can’t be the first one to make you feel weird about it no I guess not wearing sunglasses and a big bushy beard Phoenix mumbled awkwardly through the discussion causing the host to take verbal shots at him what uh what can you tell us about your

Days with the unibomber while this turned out to be a spoof for his mockumentary I’m still here the media genuinely believed Phoenix was having a breakdown and producers stayed away from him but you you are you’re not going to act anymore no huh why is that I don’t know the actor admitted in

A later interview that the quality of script sent to entice him had vastly dropped after the stunt it took several critically acclaimed projects to put Phoenix’s career back on track thank you for letting me come on the show yes well we we’ve been dying to have you back a

Year and a half number 19 B Gibson are you prepared to tell the truth today the whole truth no that have absolutely truths no gobleg the truth no I’ve been really transparent in 2013 Australian Belle Gibson was one of the hottest new Wellness influencers on the market after

Launching her mobile app the whole Pantry after releasing various cookbooks life seemed to be going great for her but then Gibson told told the world she had contracted several cancers but was managing the progression with her healthy lifestyle now you’ve just admitted that you didn’t say it was at

Your home and it wasn’t with a real doctor because you thought disappointed in you no I believed he was a real doctor yet in 2015 rumors emerged that Gibson was lying about having the disease and her donations to charity I’ve been openly conveying and speaking about what

Was my reality and what is my reality today well you accept that your reality does not actually match reality with the pressure mounting she spoke with the magazine the Australian women’s weekly where she admitted she’d been lying and blamed her behavior on her upbringing this tanked her career in an instant in

2017 Gibson was fined $410,000 for her deceptions despot been given a 4mon deadline you’re still alive yeah is that an indicator to you that you didn’t have brain cancer it wasn’t an indicator number 18 Alex peder if you’re a blossoming actor in Hollywood it’s not a

Great idea to slam the city where you make a living but that’s what England’s Alex peder did in 2011 after making his name in I Am Number Four and Stormbreaker the actor’s career appeared to be going swell then peder spoke to vman for an article within it he slated

Los Angeles in an exploitive filled interview among many many insults he called the city a quote Insidious pool and socially quote disgusting slated the women living there and described an acting career like being in prison yikes this on top of a reputation as being difficult to work with caused peder’s

Career to stagnate as big budget Productions looked Elsewhere for talent number 17 Tom Cruz 2005 was a dark mark in the career of Tom Cruz firstly there was his bizarre behavior on the Oprah Winfrey show I’ve never seen you like that I’ve never seen that I know Cruz followed that by publicly criticizing

Brook Shields for admitting she used anti-depressants after developing postpartum depression the actor then went on to the today program to speak with Matt low about his opinions and it was rough I’m just living my life and and I’m doing the best that I can and

Doing it in a way that I feel is is Right an erratic Cruz doubled down on his anti Psychiatry views calling it a quote pseudo science and I know that uh Psychiatry is is a pseudo science his very patronizing approach did Cruz no favors as he combed Low’s questions with

All the Scandal Paramount Pictures cut ties with the actor in 2006 after 14 years years but eventually that relationship recovered Steven Spielberg also denounced Cruz’s actions in 2005 however the duo reconciled in 2023 we’ve never seen you behave this way before I know have you ever felt this way

Before number 16 Pierce Morgan by 2014 thanks to poor ratings Pierce Morgan’s Reign on CNN was ending in his final days he interviewed comedian Chelsea Handler and she wrecked him Handler slated his lack of attention and called him a quote terrible interviewer I mean you can’t even pay attention for 60

Seconds you’re a terrible interviewer well you just weren’t keeping my attention that’s more that’s my problem while Morgan attempted to save face by claiming the guest had to be interesting Handler pointed out that it was his job to do that this is your show you have to

Pay attention to the guest that you invited on your show interesting enough yeah they are listen it doesn’t matter how interesting I am you signed up for this show well maybe that’s why your job is coming to an end with his us reputation in shambles Morgan returned to the UK and

Joined Good Morning Britain this is a 2hour trash Aon of our royal family but after he went off on a rant about Megan Markle disclosing her mental health struggles he was called out by fellow presenter Alex barisford causing Morgan to walk off but yet you continue to

Trash her okay I’m done with this sorry do you know what that’s trash may but not my no no no later he resigned from the show and has struggled for relevance since absolutely diabolical Behavior Number 15 Liam niss this interview had social media bursting at the seams with

Comments for and against the Irish actor while promoting one of his movies Nissan opened up in an interview about the time one of his close friends was sexually assaulted by a black man you to to get rid of this and I’m I’m not racist I I I

This was nearly 40 years ago but because I was brought up and maybe I’m rabbiting on Robin so forgive me I was brought up in the north of Ireland and and brought up in the troubles he said that after finding out he walked the streets looking for trouble hoping to kill a

Black man before realizing that what he was doing was wrong and feeling ashamed of himself many branded him a racist While others defended his honesty including celebrities such as Trevor Noah and whoopy Goldberg because I believe that Liam niss deserves a medal and I’ll tell you why it may not have

Destroyed his career but it certainly put a fork in the road of his likability number 14 John Mayor at one point John Mayer had the reputation of a quality musician who was seemingly going to reach legendary status one day but then he spoke to Playboy magazine in 2010 and

Destroyed that possibility he is giving this interview to Playboy magazine he wants to be provocative and he tried a little too hard on top of being gross about his past relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston sexually it was crazy mayor compared quote little John to white supremacist

David Duke and threw in racial slurs a couple of times yikes while mayor apologized on social media in other interviews and at gigs he never reached those lofty Heights again none of his released singles have reached the top 25 on the US Billboard Chart since 2010’s half of my heart with Taylor

Swift my gotp on the situation my number 13 Chris Harrison for 19 years Chris Harrison was an American icon with his work on The Bachelor and its spin-off The Bachelorette and many more but then in 2021 he was interviewed by Rachel Lindsay a former Bachelorette for

Extra this is when his career fell off Harrison discussed the actions of alumni Rachel Kirk Connell after photos of her at College attending a plantation themed party came out and liked racial posts on social media is it a good look in 2018 or is it not a good look in

2021 not a look ever it’s hard to defend that but Harrison did his best even throwing in the term woke police and saying people shouldn’t judge ew the public backlash was massive Lindsay quit the franchise due to her disgust at Harrison he was suspended and later fired by The Bachelor Anabell and

Parties are not okay past present future number 12 Paula Dean I’m so happy to be showing y’all my new stone wear specializing in southern cooking Paula Dean seemed like a nice and kind person during her cooking show Paula’s best dishes but when a lawsuit came her way in 2013 her deposition

Threw that assumption in the bin when she stated she used racial slurs several times and had considered a plantation themed wedding yikes as the backlash grew Dean was interviewed on the Today’s Show to discuss the controversy and it was weird if there’s anyone out there that has never said

Something that they wish they could take back painting herself as a victim of slander she stated she wouldn’t have fired herself for the Fallout but most notable was the lack of sorry from Dean except for referring to an apology video she’d made afterward more companies cut ties with Dean as she fell Into

Obscurity number 11 Michael Jackson interviewed by Martin Basher for a year and broadcast to the world in 2003 the documentary living with Michael Jackson shocked viewers with a couple of massive Revelations from the singer whoa when I’m in my room and I’m bored late at night in between writing

Music I play with this thing whoa firstly Jackson spoke about the abuse he sustained at his father ‘s hands when he grew up but then the Thriller performer stated that he had had sleepovers with children in his bedroom but he emphasized that nothing unto W happened

When Gavin was there he talked about the fact that he shares your bedroom yes can you understand why people would worry about that cuz they’re ignorant the backlash was massive from the public this brought to life the infamous trial of the people versus Jackson in 2005 while Jackson was acquitted on all

Counts the Damage Done to his reputation was permanent on top of that he faced bankruptcy from other lawsuits before he passed away in 2009 black people were called colored people because we come in all colors from very white as white as my hand to very dark number 10 Lance

Armstrong seen as a hero for facing cancer and becoming a dominant force in professional cycling Lance Armstrong was beloved and one of the best athletes ever but then the room rumors that he had had all his success on the back of doping began to emerge in 2012 the United States anti-doping agency

Stripped him of all his wins since 1998 while he denied it Armstrong was then interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in 2013 yes or no did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance yes here the former Legend told the truth and admitted his cheating but denied allegations he had forced

Teammates to dope and bribe officials to hide his test results did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance yes afterward Brands such as Nike canel contracts with him reportedly costing Armstrong millions of dollars did you ever use any other baned substances like testosterone uh cortisone or human

Growth hormone yes number nine Billy Bush while not an official interview per se we’re going to allow this access Hollywood footage due to how notorious and career ruining it became it was actually captured before presenter Billy Bush and Donald Trump were able to cruise into a TV studio to do some

Filming and while they were unaware that their microphones were on I moved on her actually you know she was down at Palm Beach I moved on her and I failed I’ll admit it I did try and she was married huge no s while on the bus they riff about Trump’s sexual escapades which

Include groping women and discuss how power can give you free reign to do whatever you want I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her you know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful I just start kissing them it’s like a magnet you just kidding I don’t

Even way and when you’re a star they let you do it you can do anything whatever you want grab them by the we even hear them talking about how attractive they think Days of Our Lives actress Arian Zucker is before meeting her when they get off the bus Bush was suspended from

His job on the Today Show following a ratings drop and subsequently resigned he since had to repeatedly defend himself in interviews the moment that is on that tape I understand people’s reaction I agree I also felt that way number eight 5 Seconds of Summer if you’re a band being interviewed by

Rolling Stone magazine is a big big deal so much so that it can be easy to get carried away with trying to sound overtly rock and roll and that’s exactly what happened with the band 5 Seconds of Summer in a 2015 interview the band did everything from compare themselves to

The Beatles to dismissing or insulting the American Music Awards Justin Bieber and their female fan base also known as most of their fan base they were criticized for their comments and for generally sounding like narcissistic padas it probably didn’t help that they appeared naked on the front cover either

Number seven Paula Abdul what do Idol fans have to look forward to this season and what are you looking forward to seeing well is that what it is I was wondering what is that you know when you’re under the influence but you don’t think you sound like you are well there’s a good

Chance that Paula Abdul knows what that feels like at least in hindsight in this 2007 interview she’s promoting the latest series of American Idol while she would later dismiss the idea as lies many viewers wondered if she’d had a few drinks or partaken in another type of stimuli delayed responses bouts of

Laughter this one has it all you know what they said listen any publicity is good publicity you got to learn to eat it up and and embrace it and say Seattle had the best delusional people the interview went viral becoming an inescapable part of Abdul’s career 2

Years later she left American Idol as a judge due to a dispute over wages and dropped out of the public eye for a while number six the chain smokers next up we have another misguided attempt at sounding hardcore in a magazine interview this time courtesy of the

Musical Duo the chain smokers who let it all hang out with billboard everyone was making the same thing and after a few years it got really stale and only a few people started breaking off from that and experimenting when asked about their manic musical romps they were all too

Eager to brag about their wild frat boy image and penion for sleeping with as many girls as possible even though they both had girlfriends the two were heavily criticized and briefly became the talk of the musical world for all the wrong reason but we shouldn’t hate on them too much

Right like they said quote we’re just frat bro dudes you know what I mean loving ladies and stuff that’s an actual quote word for word number five prince Andrew deemed a car crash by many this interview ultimately resulted in prince Andrew stepping down from public duties for the royal family today you’ve chosen

To speak out for the first time why have you decided to talk now when BBC’s Emily matless questioned him about his close ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein the prince’s answer raised many an eyebrow for starters prince Andrew straight up denied ever meeting his accuser Virginia Roberts I have no

Recollection of ever meeting this lady none whatsoever despite photographic evidence to the contrary there were other shocking answers littered throughout like saying he didn’t regret his friendship with Epstein as it presented him with useful opportunities the interviewer is clearly unimpressed with his answers much like pretty much

Every else who watched it he has quite obviously conducted himself in a manner Unbecoming yes Unbecoming he was a sex offender yeah I’m sorry I’m being polite number four Katherine higel higel has long had a reputation for being difficult to work with but a 2008 interview with Vanity Fair proved

Particularly damning when she criticized the movie Knocked Up which she just started she branded the movie quote a little sexist and critiqued the way in which it portrays women which frustrated people considering that she decided to be in the movie A year later she starred in the movie The Ugly Truth which was

Widely panned as misogynistic who’s this delightful creature I’m your producer Hey I like it when on top as a result of the entire episode already hesitant directors were given yet another reason to be cautious about working with her I’m going to be really honest right now I’m not I know I’m not I don’t have to

Think about it I’m not a rud rude person I’m not an unkind or mean person number three Megan Fox as a general rule it’s probably not a good idea to compare the director you’re working with to Hitler but that’s what Transformers star Megan Fox did in an interview with British

Magazine Wonderland talking about Michael Ba’s conduct on set Fox compared the director to the Nazi leader which was soon all over the media W nice headers you’ve got a highrise double pump carburetor that’s pretty impressive soon double Pump It ultimately resulted in her being fired from the Transformers

Franchise but not by ba according to ba it was the franchise’s executive producer a certain Steven Spielberg who insisted she be fired she’s since worked with ba again on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films which the latter produced but Fox’s notable roles have otherwise been few and far between since

Giving this interview hi guys this is April O’Neal from Channel 6 news and I am here in beautiful New York City on the first day of spring and you know what that means it is time to shed that pesky winter weight number two Charlie Sheen this guy has said and done some

Seriously shocking and controversial things in his career but the reason he’s on today’s list may surprise you the interview in question is his 2015 appearance on the Today Show where he announced that he was HIV positive they walked in the room and said boom here’s what’s going on it’s it’s it’s it’s a

Hard um three letters to absorb you know it’s a it’s it’s it’s it’s a turning point in in in one’s life while some praised his bravery many criticized the fact that it had taken him 4 years to go public with it stating that it could have endangered his sexual partners were these

People that you had had sexual contact with and were claiming that you had transmitted the virus to them or were these people who simply found out about your status and were threatening to tell the world people also took aim at Sheen’s surprisingly calm demeanor as he told of his diagnosis and battle with

People blackmailing him for some the interview humanized Sheen more than ever before for others it further solidified his reputation as being Reckless particularly with the lives of others have you had unprotected sex on any occasion since your diagnosis yes but but the two people that that that I did that with um were

Under the care of my doctor and and they were completely warned ahead of time number one R Kelly although it’s a different story today back in the 2000s R Kelly still had his Defenders when it came to allegations of sexual misconduct in 2002 he was indicted but was

Eventually acquitted in 2008 they are still talking about you with underage girls that same year however an interview about the allegations ensured that Kelly’s muddied reputation would not be forgotten when asked about whether he liked teenage girls Kelly replied with this when you say Teenage how are we talking viewers and clearly

The interviewer Tor Ray were shocked at Kelly’s reaction and it went on to further support the claims that he was in fact guilty the infamous response became a critical moment in the press’s depiction of him in the years to follow which controversial celebrity chat stopped you from being their fan anymore

I made a mistake and I own that okay earlier we looked at movies that altered lies but for our next list we’re focusing in on one specific genre of film documentaries this is going to be a thing this is going to be a thing that people bother me about and that’s going

To make my life harder welcome to watch Mojo and today we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 documentaries that ruined people’s lives the downside of giving an interview is that the interviewer will take what I’ve said to make me look as bad as possible for this

List we’ll be looking at the most noteworthy documentary films and series that had a strongly negative impact on certain Affiliated individuals what other documentaries inspired an unfortunate change in people’s lives number 10 Tiger King Carol Baskin eccentric former zookeeper Joe Exotic claims that the hit Netflix docu series

Tiger king ruined his life good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another fun episode of a day of my life here on Joe exoct tv.com that’s saying a lot considering he was already in prison when the show premiered it may be less debatable to argue that the documentary instead

Damaged the reputation of his arch nemesis Carol Baskin hi I’m Carol Baskin and I’m the founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue Tiger King seemingly paint Ed the animal rights activist as Exotics even matching ego if not animal mistreatment the docu series was also criticized for overexposing the theory that Baskin had

A hand in her ex-husband Don Lewis’s disappearance there’s a lot of stories about Carol having some finger in it but nobody can prove it this particularly inspired devastating harassment online though her rais profile has also promoted her activism Basin feels betrayed by Netflix’s depiction and that too many people have

Made up their minds on the mystery of Lewis’s fate the V majority of the calls and social posts and emails that I was getting were so hateful I couldn’t leave my phone on because I couldn’t sleep it was just constantly ringing number nine the case of John Benet Ramsey Burke

Ramsey the unsolved murder of child beauty queen John Benet Ramsay has been followed by Scandal ever since 1996 soon pictures of this little girl became public igniting a media frenzy and the eyes of the world focused on this shocking case as if the loss in media circus weren’t traumatizing enough the

Ramsey family has long dealt with theories that they were the culprits all three members were eventually cleared by DNA evidence in 2008 nonetheless the 2016 miniseries the case of John Benet Ramsey still argued that the victim’s older brother Burke was responsible he seems to have gone into sort of playful

Mode and the tone of it is completely off his sister disappears in the middle of the night she ends up dead in the basement and he doesn’t worry about himself or worry that they may come back for him Burke promptly filed a defamation suit against CBS and some of

The show’s participants following an outof Court settlement the older ramsy returned to a private life still with many maintaining that John Benet was killed by Burke he has undoubtedly found his reputation tarnished by the claims of this docu series I think early on we discussed the lack of the family

Actually getting involved with the investigation to begin with and that is so atypical of what I see in a case where someone close to you has passed away you’ll do whatever you can to get the case resolved number eight the king of Kong A Fistful of quarters Billy Mitchell Seth Gordon’s documentary on

The feud for Donkey Kong Conquest won high scores with audiences of course the public attention it revived for record holder Billy Mitchell backfired Competitive Gaming when you want to attach your name to a world record when you want your name written into history you have to pay the price the king of

Kong was among the sources investigated by Specialists to conclude that Mitchell’s scoring track record was partially attained with emulation software this provided an due Advantage allowing anyone to play outside of arcade machines he was a guy that pushed for live scores all the time and now

Here I am at Fun Spot bust my ass to get a live score and he just submits tape scores now Mitchell’s records were removed from databases and The Gaming Community ostracized him in a defamation suit against his accusers he even claimed that his doctor refused to treat his stress related health issues

Although some of his records have since been reinstated the king of Kong helped bring down the gamer royalty Mitchell built an entreprene R preneurial brand on I’m just some non-name guy from Washington Billy is trying to live up to this image being the greatest ever and

So he’s afraid to that if he loses that’s going to tarnish him number seven making a murderer Ken Katz as district attorney for camet County Wisconsin Ken Katz landed the famous murder convictions of Steven Avery and Brendan dassy in 2007 we’re obviously happy with the results We Believe that a just

Result uh was reached in this trial controversy that these may have been wrongful convictions eventually went Global with the release of the Netflix docu series making a murderer don’t let Netflix tell you what to think Katz’s Glory was shortlived anyway as a harassment Scandal had cost in his

Office in 2010 but after the documentary’s examination of possible judicial impropriety Katz faced death threats in a barrage of negative Yelp reviews he has since lost his law license Katz continues to GR Grant Public interviews and has been working on a book to dispute the show’s supposedly flimsy evidence this wasn’t a

Documentary at all this was a defense piece it was generated by and for Steven Avery by his defense team the court of public opinion has nonetheless not been kind to him number six going clear Scientology and the prison of belief former Church of Scientology members Alex gibney’s documentary on the

Mysterious Church of Scientology was praised by General audiences but received a very different reaction from scient ologist you know why did they go into it in the first place I was interested in intelligent and skeptical people who are drawn into a belief system and wind up acting on those

Beliefs in ways they never thought they would Gibney has expressed remorse that many people who worked on going clear subsequently suffered retaliation from church officials they take enemies very seriously this comes right out of hub’s own policies from the 60s he’s saying we never defend we always attack and they

Have followed it ever since they call it fair game and anybody who criticizes Scientology is fair game former members whose interviews exposed the church’s history and controversial practices got it the worst filmmaker Paul Haggis journalist Tony Ortega and others reported being surveilled a private investigator also confessed to being

Hired to hack into several email accounts these all seem to be consistent with the disturbing stories exposed throughout the documentary again and again while reporting the story we met many former members who describe Scientology as a dangerous and deeply paranoid organization all the importance of going clear in religious debate its

Effects extended far beyond the current Scientology congregation number five the show about the show kavati arguably the most daring project from meta filmmaker kavati was the show about the show in which each episode documented the making of the previous episode what’s the show this show what show this show I don’t

Understand when when you say this show this show like the show about the show released online and on Brooklyn cable access the niche program turned out to be more dramatic than anyone expected the intrusive and candid production imploded to’s already Rocky marriage plus the subsequent romance because she

Keeps doing this she keeps saying I want to break up and I want you to move out and then she changes her mind I want to try and make it work and then she says it again I want to break up and I want you to move out and then she changes her

Mind he claims that his whole personal life has been destroyed by its own documentation the show about the show wound up being a reality show that truly lives up to the genre’s name zahi does not regret the project however and I’m thinking why the did he break the tape I could

Have used that in the show in fact he’s trying to keep it going totally independently although he’ll be the first to admit that it upended his whole world number four overnight Troy Duffy despite the very limited release of The Boondock Saints writer director Troy Duffy became a cult sensation I do

Believe the insus finally got the point I fans got to go behind the scenes with this film making and music breakout in the documentary overnight this showcase Duffy as an undeniable talent but who is content enous Behavior eventually led to his downfall you tell him I’m in CA in 6 months then he’ll

Start moving on this [ __ ] okay my suggestion to you is that it’s okay for you to say you’re upset it’s not okay for you to say you’re considering leaving all right then say I’m upset that’s fine his antagonism towards his veteran producers ultimately led to mirax dropping his movie and

Harvey Weinstein having him blacklisted sure overnight is a record of Duffy destroying his own life but he claims the documentary showed his inexcusable Behavior out of context it certainly caus him the potenti salvation of public sympathy you have changed big time and uh I wouldn’t say in the positive direction Duffy has

Since made only one other movie The Boondock Saints 2 number three the staircase Michael Peterson and his family the French docu series supong better known as the staircase was groundbreaking in its intimate coverage of an Infamous trial that of American novelist Michael Peterson for the murder

Of his wife Kathleen and then I can remember and it must have been very early while I was still in the kitchen that a cop was on me instantly everywhere I went a policeman was there after the show was released its massive success destroyed any hope of privacy For The Grieving family Peterson’s

Conviction was later overturned and he eventually accepted an Alfred plea for a lesser charge so I’ve never doubted my dad’s innocence but it’s just it’s it’s just kind of I don’t know a hard place to be this allowed him to maintain his innocence over the crime Netflix

Then released an update of the staircase in 2018 inviting social media hostility on the Petersons this was further addressed in the 2022 documentary subject it’s still hitting me like that this is actually happening it’s so gross whatever the truth about Kathleen Peterson’s death the staircase succeeded in turning a

Family tragedy into a public inquiry number two the square akmed Hassan following the deposition of corrupt president hosney Mubarak in 2011 Egypt endured years of political and civil unrest Jan new James the square explored this gruesome period through the perspective of its own cinematographer akmed Hasan the filmmaker and democracy

Activist knew the risks in becoming a public figure of resistance while the Egyptian crisis ended in 2014 Assan wasn’t around for this instead he had been exiled from Egypt fearing retaliation from the authoritarian regime he also had limited contact with his family out of concern for their

Safety the square may have won Hanan and Emmy for his cinematography but the project seemingly left him worse off as he was driven from his homeland number one the Jinx the life and deaths of Robert Durst Robert Durst in 19 1982 real estate Heir Robert Durst was

Investigated for the murder of his wife Kathleen McCormack would you for the record tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury your name uh Robert Durst he was eventually brought to trial in 2003 for another murder amidst rumors of a third Durst refused to do interviews

After his acquit but was so impressed by all good things a movie based on his bizarre story that he agreed to sit down with filmmaker Andrew jki I mean this whole time since I’ve gotten out of prison uh I’ve said nothing to nobody about anything so people out there have

Gotten very used to the fact they can say anything you want because I’m never going to give an interview so it’s never going to be disputed the docu series The Jinx ended with Durst forgetting that he was still miked up seemingly admitting to all three murders the

Hell kill them all of course this may have just been ingest but d was still charged with one of the killings he was finally convicted in 2021 while true crime documentaries may be accused of consequential biases it’s hard to argue with Durst self-incrimination you might think being

A music star is all red carpet Glamour and lavish parties but it can also lead to Scandal heartbreak and a whole lot of rued lives is this camera on me yes that’s stupid welcome to watch Mojo and today we’re counting down our pck for the most famous musicians who saw their

Careers tarnished by immoral decisions and Scandals as Gary Glitter arrived for sentencing Today Gone were both the Glamour and The Rock CEO green a once popular R&B singer CEO green found success both in groups and as a solo artist his biggest songs are crazy with Danger Mouse which was

Released under their Duo name narl Barkley and of course his solo number two single forget You but shortly after that song was released green was accused of sexual battery and was investigated by the LAPD during that dinner according to prosecutors He Slipped the woman the drug MDMA also known as ecstasy before accompanying her to her hotel room he was later sentenced to three years

Probation and community service after pleading no contest to Furnishing a hallucinogen His Image in the public eye took an even worse downturn when green made some controversial remarks on Twitter regarding the former of his cases and the general issue of sexual assaults and that was pretty much it for

CEO Green’s career as none of his solo singles since forget you have even Sharted Tory Lanes Canadian rapper Tory Lanes was on the come up in the mid-20s a number of his albums reached the top five in America and a single love received a Grammy nomination for best R&B Song but then came the night of July 12th 2020 Lan’s and Megan the stallion were reportedly attending a house party when Lane shot her in the foot were you afraid for your life at that time I was really scared cuz I had never been shot at before he publicly denied the claims

But was charged the following October with a number of felonies related to the possession of a firearm he was later found guilty on three charges and sent to prison for 10 years it’s unclear at this juncture whether he will be deported to Canada while he’ll be free early next decade something tells us

That his career will not be able to bounce back Pete doerty the world underwent a garage Rock Revival in the late 90s and early 2000s spearheaded by bands like The Strokes and The Libertines the latter saw great success in the United Kingdom with their self-titled album which reached number

One and spawn the hit single can’t stand me Now just to say we’re finding success though frontman Pete doy was kicked out due to his inability to successfully treat a substance use disorder eventually c-r man Carl Barat became unwilling to continue without DHI and the band was dissolved at the height of their Fame in 2004 un fortunately this

Lightning in a bottle isn’t something you could capture twice fortunately dhy announced that he has refrained from substance use since late 2019 so there’s some good news to be found no matter how awful the circumstances I mean the the addicted mind convinces you that you know things aelia Banks while she never

Found enormous Commercial Success aelia Banks was someone to watch in the early 2010s you know what become I just want to that punch that her debut single 212 was a modest success in the UK but far more important was its critical appreciation 212 was met with immediate Acclaim and is now

Heralded as one of the best songs of the decade but Banks disappeared as soon as she arrived with 212 being her only top 20 song due to a slew of harmful opinions the singer has long been criticized for her use of social media often using Twitter since rebranded to X

To beef with other celebrities and a spouse racist homophobic xenophobic and transphobic remarks it’s a lot of phobics and they effectively derailed bank’s once promising career May the bridges we burn light the way Kanye West there was a time when Kanye West was considered a genius that time was in the

2000s and early 2010s when the rapper was dropping Goat albums like late registration and My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy count and while yay has always been a contentious celebrity whose mental health issues must also be acknowledged things have gone from enjoyably Bonkers to genuinely troubling in recent years he has expressed a

Number of disturbing opinions like claiming that human subjugation is a choice for 400 years that sound like a choice and praising Adolf Hitler West also made a number of anti-semitic remarks in 2022 resulting in a flurry of lost business deals and briefly terminated Twitter accounts there is a

Sense of sadness and tragedy when you think about individuals who have known him for so long these outspoken beliefs coupled with some disappointing albums like da have seriously tainted y’s Life in Legacy Marilyn Manson for a time in the 1990s Marilyn Manson was considered a negative influence on America’s youth

With his ly lyrics even being studied in Congressional Hearings but most people saw through the act and regarded his behavior as performative Arts it’s better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else I find despite the controversy Manson continued to sell records and top the charts well into the 2000s however he was properly cancelled in the early

2020s when several women including ex fiance Evan Rachel Wood accused him of sexual and psychological abuse violence that begins in the home begets other violence it’s a cycle and it it bleeds into so many problems in in our country and our society that we are not even

Aware of despite a career full of contention and critical prodding it was these accusations that put Manson away for good maybe not behind bars but certainly in the eyes of the public 69 you may know Daniel Hernandez better as 69 the rainbow-haired face tatted artist behind songs like gumo and

Fifi but he is equally known for his criminal behavior and celebrity feuds in 2015 69 pleaded guilty to a nasty felony involving a minor and was arrested again 3 years later on charges of racketeering among other things he testified against other members of a street gang he was

Part of resulting in a reduced sentence of just two years after many assumed he would be free this week Brooklyn rapper tekashi 69 has been sentenced to 24 months in prison and a subsequent 5 years of supervised release after being released from prison in April of 2020 he

Saw a brief Resurgence with his Nicki Minaj collab trolls however 69ine has largely been unable to capture his pre-prison glory since then he has also been ostracized from the hip-hop Community making a potential comeback even more unlikely Gary Glitter once a Glam Rock icon Gary Glitter turned heads with his dazzling

Public Image and Stage presence which often involved platform boots and glitter suits Rock Ro but even those who don’t know a thing about Gary Glitter have heard some of his most famous songs another rock and roll Christmas and rock and roll part two this astonishing career came to an abrupt end in the late 199 however when glitter was arrested for downloading

Some highly illegal material while he was only sentenced to 4 months in prison the Scandal was enough to permanently tarnish his life and reputation glitter faced further charges of sexual misconduct in the 2010s resulting in a prison sentence of 16 years judge alist McCree told glitter I’ve read the impact

Statements of all three victims it is clear in their different ways they were all profoundly affected by your abuse of them R Kelly once heralded as the king of R&B R Kelly has sold over 75 million records and has won three Grammys for his Mega hit I believe I can fly I

Believe I can fly I I canch well Kelly was embroiled in a famous legal battle throughout the 2000s he was eventually acquitted and his name was clear it remained clear until 2019 when the lifetime documentary surviving R Kelly made numerous sexual abuse claims against him he’s said to continue

Telling everybody that you were 19 and to act 21 he was indicted on 18 charges that July most of which we can’t get into here this eventually led to a prison sentence of 31 years I never thought that I would be here to see him be held accountable for the

Atrocious things that he did to Children he ruined both his life and career and we won’t be seeing him again until 2045 at the earliest Phil spect while not a musician per se Phil Spectre was an extremely successful songwriter and record producer he wrote the teddy

Bears number one single to know him is to love him and later revolutionized the music industry with his production techniques including the famous wall of sound there was just a Vitality in the room that was would lift you off of your feet and also there’d be so many players

And entered an extended period of seclusion in the early 1980s he reemerged into the public Consciousness in 2003 after the murder of a woman named Lana Clarkson Lana Clarkson’s family wrote that she was a warm compassionate kind loving woman who would be 58 years old now Spectre was

Found guilty and sentenced to prison where he died in 2021 one do you expect to see any of the legacies of these musicians bounce back his legacy will forever be that of a convicted murderer of all the people who could ruin a child star’s life you would think

Their parents would be at the bottom of that list well if you did think that you’d be wrong because as we’re about to see plenty of Guardians have done the opposite of what they were supposed to Modern Family actress Ariel Winter has been living a real life drama with her

Patriarch of the Jackson dynasty was a deeply controlling manager my father means well I think he means well and wants nothing but the best for his kids I just think that the way he went about certain things wasn’t the best way the truth about Jackson’s Behavior began to emerge in the late 80s

And early 9s with Michael revealing uncomfortable truth in a 1993 interview with Oprah according to him Joe was both physically and mentally abusive often overworking his children and whipping them with a belt as a form of punishment Joe admitted to whipping the children claiming that such punishment was common
