Have you ever gone off a celebrity because of something they've done?

I used to really like Ewan McGregor until he had an affair.

Same with Robson Green in the 90s.

I loved Michael Moriarty (still do) but he's become a huge loony and an old soak.

Liked Ant McPartlin before the drink driving and infidelity.

Have you ever liked a celeb and then gone off them because of something they've said or done? Does it just prove that celebs are human like the rest of us?

@kenandbarbie

It has been rumoured.

HappyBumbleBee · 19/11/2018 19:24

Really gone off Ant McPartlin after the drink driving and then hooking up with his wife's "friend" etc.

'Winter sport's???

Mayim Bialik is an anti - vaxxer. I was so disappointed.

Sophie Turner was cringeworthy during the X Men press trying to get notice from James McAvoy who seemed embarrassed by it

I watched the GoT comic con panel from a year or two ago and she was hammered, swigging vodka under the table and being really rowdy and obnoxious. It was so unprofessional and put me right off her.

Johnny Depp, because of him being abusive. I loved him, posters on my walls when I was younger, watched a film just because he was in it etc. I really want to go watch the Crimes of Grindelwald as love the whole HP thing, but not sure I can watch him in anything now.

Mark Owen, had the biggest teenage girl crush on him circa 1995 and a few years later he turned out to be a womaniser and a cheat.

Ronan Keating, as above but 1996 crush.

HildaZelda · 19/11/2018 20:11

Ronan Keating's wife Storm seems to get an awful lot of flak and abuse, but it wasn't her that he had an affair with while married to his first wife. It was a dancer called Francine Cornell.

@Sammysquiz What was your husband's job?

Baking101 · 19/11/2018 20:20

Mayim Bialik is an anti - vaxxer. I was so disappointed.

She isn't apparently. She has vaccinated her kids. Think there was a comment she made that made it sound like that though.

If she is, she should return her PhD. She's clearly not intelligent.

AngeloMysterioso · 19/11/2018 20:22

I was put off Henry Cavill when he started dating a teenage uni student and said he liked that she was "protective" of him. Dude, you're fucking Superman, do you really need a teenage girl to protect you?! But apparently he's a massive womaniser in general.

PawneeParksDept · 19/11/2018 20:28

The two Game Of Thrones Girls Maisie and Sophie strike me as rather conceited IRL even though I think Maisie particularly is a brilliant actress

It's not really their fault of course it's the inevitable by product of too much too soon too young

Caitlin Moran after reading her book and her abortion attitude

I can honestly say that my abortion was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I'm not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what worktops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being

I'm pro choice but this made me a bit 🤔

Sammysquiz · 19/11/2018 20:37

Vanilla he was part of the department who looked after the upkeep of the royal buildings. He lived onsite on one of the grounds (better not say too much in case I identify him & he gets sent to the tower Grin) and spent a lot of time with all the royals. Apparently all of them are lovely except Andrew who treated everyone like they were scum.

AngeloMysterioso · 19/11/2018 20:39

hmmmpfff that was pretty much how I felt when I had an abortion to be fair. Not a difficult or emotional decision at all.

wiilowmelangell · 19/11/2018 20:46

Madonna. Didn't care one way or another until one day browsing in Athena. I found a calendar or photo series of her naked, posing with a cat between her legs.
Gross.

Drookit · 19/11/2018 20:51

Caitlin Moran and her porn attitude.

FromEden · 19/11/2018 20:52

I'm sure I read on here somewhere that JD allegedly shot Kate Moss in the arm when they were dating with an antique pistol

It's supposed to be Winona Ryder who he shot. Never confirmed though.

He was also allegedly involved in the shady death of a former business partner. As in, he divulged his whereabouts to the people who wanted him dead to save his own skin, or something like that Shock

PoliticalBiscuit · 19/11/2018 20:52

As another one said above. Ryan Giggs. So low, what pond scum he is.

MamaRaisingBoys · 19/11/2018 20:58

Nick Knowles for what he did with his sons schooling (if it’s true)

fireworkbang · 19/11/2018 21:08

Used to fancy Mark Lamarr when I figured his aloof arrogant prick thing was a schtick, turns out he beats up his girlfriend so maybe not.

StorminaBcup · 19/11/2018 21:29

@FromEden - thanks! I've just read a whole gossip thread about that and the disappearance of his nightclub partner Shock.

HeronLanyon · 19/11/2018 21:31

Seem a few saying they love jay ray met. I absolutely loathe him. He can’t write a single column without spouting some perceived alpha male crap usually sexist or gorifying how edgy he is for revelling in meat. He really needs to grow up in print and on master chef. Used to like him before I realised. Now obvious. Sorry rant over.

PoliticalBiscuit · 19/11/2018 21:40

@MamaRaisingBoys

What did NK supposedly do?

friendlyflicka · 19/11/2018 21:43

Andrew Marr for his super injunction.

friendlyflicka · 19/11/2018 21:44

Bill Cosby obviously. All of the other outed male celebs I didn't like but Bill Cosby....
