It’s always heartbreaking when some of your favorite stars fall out of the limelight. Unfortunately, the pressure of being a celebrity can easily get overwhelming. By that point, the most you can probably do for your favorite stars is hope they find their way back.
From racial slurs to countless arrests, here are five stars who fell seriously out of the public’s grace.
The once-lovable “She’s the Man” and “The Amanda Show Star” fell from her fans’ good graces after getting arrested on several occasions. First, she got taken in for drug use. Then, she was arrested for DUIs and for allegedly starting a small fire. She has since been diagnosed with bipolar disorder after checking into a psychiatric facility.
Next on the list is Chris Brown, who quickly went from being a highly respected recording artist to a domestic abuser. After pleading guilty to felony assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, he was arrested for another assault in 2013. Then, after breaking up with Karrueche Tran in 2015, he allegedly began stalking Tran and threatening people who interacted with her.
Brown has since been given a restraining order, but has clearly not changed since 2009.
The adorable child star of “Parent Trap” took a turn for the worse as she got older. Now, Lohan is known more for her run-ins with the law during her party days with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
As a result of her hard-partying lifestyle and constant hospitalization, Lohan fell out of favor with the movie industry. She also had an intense battle with drug addiction, and she turned herself into jail for cocaine possession and drunk driving in 2007. But even before then, Lohan was constantly checking in and out of rehab.
Mel Gibson was once a well-respected actor, but his career never truly recovered after his anti-Semitic rant. His problems with alcohol has led to multiple arrests. Then, in 2006 he got pulled over for a DUI. While being arrested by a Malibu cop, Gibson demanded to know if his arresting officer was Jewish because, according to him, “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”
Most people know Jodie Sweetin for her role as the sassy Stephanie Tanner from “Full House.” But after the series ended, she started spiraling and turned to drugs and alcohol. She wrote about this experience in her 2009 memoir “unSweetined.”
Thankfully, though, she recovered and is currently happy with the way her life has turned out. “I will have five years of sobriety in March. It’s given me a lot of gratitude,” she told People. Now, she has children and has returned to the small screen by reprising her role as Stephanie Tanner in Netflix’s “Fuller House.”
Although Jodie made an inspirational comeback, unfortunately not all fallen stars get their happy ending.
