Last week, I wrote a post about people sharing which celebs they've completely lost respect for. People came through with some spot-on examples, and so did our BuzzFeed Community commenters.
Here's some of what they shared:
FYI: These are quotes from other people — they don't reflect my views or BuzzFeed's.
1. "Prince Andrew. He was one of Jeffrey Epstein's 'friends,' which says a lot."
2. "Lena Dunham. She was outraged because she thought Odell Beckham Jr. was ignoring her."
.@OBJ_3 is talented, stylish, seems super awesome and wasn't into chatting with me at a fancy party.
Lena faced backlash for tweeting this. She apologized in a lengthy Instagram post: "I would never intentionally contribute to a long and often violent history of the over-sexualization of black male bodies- as well as false accusations by white women towards black men."
3. "Aaron Rodgers. I love the Packers, and he just seemed like a nice, funny guy. But then it turns out he’s one of those nut job anti-vaxxers."
"This vaccine is revolutionary however we don't know a whole lot about it. For the media taking shots at me you now know my story so quit lying about me.. personal health decisions in my opinion should be private" ~@AaronRodgers12 #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE
Aaron was roasted by comedians everywhere, not just for his anti-vax statements but because he at one point said he had been "immunized" but was NOT, in fact, vaccinated against COVID-19.
4. "Jared Padalecki. He started a public feud with Jensen Ackles to ensure the spotlight stayed on HIM instead of Jensen. He refused to support Misha Collins' poetry book despite Misha always having his back. He's just an overgrown child."
Dude. Happy for you. Wish I heard about this some way other than Twitter. I’m excited to watch, but bummed that Sam Winchester had no involvement whatsoever. https://t.co/bAcEvFKM7p
Jared tweeted this, calling out Jensen for not telling him about the Supernatural prequel.
5. "J.K. Rowling. Do I even have to explain? She’s a TERF."
6. "Cuba Gooding Jr. I think to say I lost respect for him is an understatement. I thought that he was a very talented actor, and then I found out that he lifted Sarah Paulson's dress at a comic con–type event. She repeatedly pushed him away, and he did it anyway."

Besides this moment, Cuba has been accused of groping a woman at a nightclub in 2019.
7. "Leonardo DiCaprio. He's an amazing actor, but the fact that he dates barely legal models is creepy to me."
8. "Wendy Williams. I've never understood why such toxic trash talk is not OK for anyone else, celebrities included, but is OK for her because she has a TV show. I'm truly sorry for everything she's going through — it obviously hasn't been easy for her — but she's literally made it her business to gossip and out people's secrets, all while making sure hers stays in the closet."
9. "Dave Chappelle. Anyone who describes themselves as 'team TERF' is trash."
“I’m team #TERF. Gender is a FACT.” - Dave Chapelle. De los pocos comediantes que no se auto censuran. No se pierdan “The Closer” en Netflix. 👇
“I'm team TERF. Gender is a fact. Every human being in this room, every human being on Earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on Earth. This is a fact," he said.
10. "Machine Gun Kelly for his gross sexualization of a minor."
11. "Dr. Oz. I went to a few tapings of his show and initially thought he wanted to help people. Then he started hawking supplements, and I even tried a few. I remember going over supplements with my doctor, and her telling me how Garcinia can completely destroy your liver. People actually needed liver transplants after taking it."
12. "Ina Garten. I lost all respect for her when she ignored that poor sick kid’s Make a Wish request to see her."

The story goes like this: The boy, Enzo, wanted to cook with Ina. Multiple requests were allegedly sent to her and her team. Enzo's parents never heard back. Eventually it made news, to which Ina responded and said only that her team received the requests and never told her. She offered to cook with Enzo, and his parents ultimately declined.
13. "Chris Pratt. He is a member of the homophobic Hillsong Church."
14. "Mark Wahlberg for his douchey comments about how Sept. 11 would've been different if he'd been on the plane."
