What famous people have you lost respect for?

[FeetupTvon]

There are currently quite a few I have lost respect for, who are yours and why??

George Clooney for being so fake and acting like he matters in the world of politics.

Michael Bible after how he was seen treating his wife in covid. Really dislike him now.

I don't know that I respect people just because they're celebrities, or even just because they have a great talent. I admire their talent, but don't necessarily think they must be admirable human beings.

People who have disappointed me include:

Huw Edwards (surprised no one else has mentioned him as yet)

Neil Gaiman- if any of the allegations turn out to be true

Morrissey- ages ago, for his support for far-right-wingers

Roger Daltrey, for some of his views on Brexit and Covid

Novak Djokovic, for his anti-vaccine antics

That idiot Kirsty Allsopp.

Actually, I don't think I ever had any respect for the irritating, privileged cow. It was Phil I actually quite liked.

Yet another thread where the op posts some weird question and then fucks off never to be seen again.
seems a plague of them on here recently

Ewen mcgregger he seemed OK fair actor I liked the personality he put onscreen with his long way round series he seemed down to earth quite funny etc then he cheats on his wife and just doesn't stop talking bollocks I just turn over now I find him very off putting

I get that Novak is unlikeable, but I can't fathom why people would dislike him simply because he didn't want a certain vaccine put into his own body. He's an athlete. His body is his livelihood.

Anyway, there are plenty. Yes to all the woman haters already mentioned.

Ahh yes the whole stop buying take away coffee and you can buy a house woman....I mean if your buying 70 coffee a day maybe but one a week? No

Privilege from a Privilege background attempting to tell poor people "how it's done" not a good look at all

Dave grohl

And then she posted about hard done to parents who sent their kids to private schools were because of the VAT issue.
She was told to stop buting coffee and avocados, and denied saying it herself!

Eddie Izzard

I have always been a huge admirer of the opera singer Placido Domingo and was very disappointed when multiple allegations of sexual harrassment dating back decades all came out

Johnny Depp after the trial with Amber Heard. Yes she came off as unhinged and probably made a lot of stuff up, but that doesn't take away the fact he used a televised show trial to destroy her public image.
His text messages to Paul Brittany were horrendous (so lost respect for him too).

He has since started dating a much younger Russian model and so is entering dirty old man territory.

Oh and also how he described Amber as this 'beautiful creature ' when he first met her. Urghhh. I used to really fancy him as well.

What an utter horror he has turned out to be

You beat me to it, despicable piece of garbage

I don’t think I respect any celebs, apart from JK Rowling.

What did Sandy toksvig do? Did I miss something?

George Clooney, Jeff Bezos, Huw Edwards

Rolf Harris. Such a disappointment.
I used to love his art program as a child and saw him at a student union show at uni, then he turned out to be just another TV sex offender.

Years and years ago Caitlin Moran nailed her colours to the mast. I remember reading where she said (quite possibly in a piece similar to this thread...) "Germaine Greer is TERRIBLE on trans issues!"

Not lose respect but feel disdain for
The numpties who JKR dragged from obscurity
Jo Brand
Lineker
Khan
Sheen
Welty
And on and on

Michael Sheen. Saying that he finds it very hard to accept people who are not Welsh playing Welsh characters. A Welsh actor who has made his name playing English people, Tony Blair, Prince Andrew, Kenneth Williams, Brian Clough and David Frost to name a few. Hypocrite.

Beyoncé for taking money from dictators (Gaddafi) when she’s already loaded, plus not speaking out when she knew all about Diddy (I realise she’s not alone in this).

Noel Gallagher for the dynamic pricing thing, then claiming he didn’t know about it.

Oprah (lots of reasons)

Madonna for changing her face rather than embracing her age.

But vaccines are much less likely to affect your body long-term than the diseases. If an athlete gets long Covid, even if they fully recover in the end, it's likely to derail their career. In any case, it's not just about him- if it were, then I suppose it's his choice- but about obeying travel regulations to protect others. Again, I suppose if he accepts that he then can't travel to certain places, it's up to him; but the problem is that, if you're a celebrity, it then gets used by anti-vaccine campaigners. I HAAAATE people who campaign against vaccines (in general) or masks or social distancing (in the case of Covid).

I suppose my other line in the sand is support for Trump or Farage; but people, whom I respect in the first place, are unlikely to turn round and support them.
