every day is a difficult time like I'm
Azealia thanks welcome to WatchMojo and
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 celebs who are constantly
getting canceled one thing that I've
learned from being in quarantine is that
people uh this this is like being in
jail you can't black for me
so any mean thing someone's gonna think
of to say about me I've already said to
me about me probably in the last half
hour for this list we'll be looking at
celebs creators and influencers who find
a way to offend repeatedly getting
canceled more than once some celebrities
get canceled once and learn their lesson
others just disappear do you think these
cancellations were warranted let us know
in the comments
number 10 Joss Whedon he was once among
the most beloved voices in pop culture
but the tides started to shift for
Whedon in 2017 when his unproduced
Wonder Woman script was leaked online
some found his screenplay sexist but
since the film never got made people
didn't dwell on it
where are we gonna dance
there's not much we can do
that's who I think it is Whedon found
himself back in the hot seat however
after taking over the Justice League
reshoots any blowback big time about
three years later after Ray Fisher
accused Whedon of quote gross abusive
unprofessional and completely
unacceptable Behavior fellow Justice
League actors Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot
also spoke out against Whedon while
Warner media launched an investigation
the corporation said in a statement at
the time quote remedial action has been
taken adding there are still
conversations that need to be had and
resolutions that need to be found the
controversy didn't end with the Justice
League cast as Amber Benson Michelle
Trachtenberg and Charisma Carpenter of
Buffy Fame have since recounted their
allegedly toxic experiences with Whedon
as well number nine Jeffree Star Jeffree
Star broke out as a singer and fashion
designer on MySpace demonstrating how
social media can provide a gateway to
immense success so I just started
promoting myself and people started
recognizing me for my image so that's
how it goes at the same time social
media has also been the forum for some
of star's biggest controversies in
addition to posting a long list of
tweets labeled as offensive the YouTube
star has also been accused of much bad
behavior and trying to pay off his
accusers I'm embarrassed of myself
I'm embarrassed for my family that they
have to see things online and I'm sad
that Nathan and my friends have to go
online and deal with this as well
because of my actions that star keeps
popping up in the news feeds for all the
wrong reasons perhaps the most infamous
story involved rival Beauty vlogger
James Charles
bringing back dramatic experiences yes I
know we're having a little bit of PTSD
right now um according to internet
personality tati Westbrook star quote
used coerced and manipulated her into
making a video that portrayed Charles in
a deeply negative light Westbrook
brought similar allegations against
YouTuber Shane Dawson speaking of which
number eight Shane Dawson the
controversy involving tati Westbrook and
James Charles sparked just one of the
cancellations that Dawson has faced oh
my God I mean I okay
I'm live because I I can't even process
I need a drink of water around the same
time older videos where Dawson used
offensive makeup and vulgar language
started making the rounds in response to
all the negative press Dawson posted an
apology video entitled taking
accountability I'm ready to to own up to
this stuff and I'm ready to hopefully
show you guys that it's okay to admit
when you're wrong it's okay to be upset
at your past self for making mistakes
but also it's okay if people don't want
to accept your apology the video
triggered a negative response from Jaden
Smith about the portrayal of his sister
Willow in one of the resurfaced clips
family matriarch Jada Pinkett Smith
wasn't pleased with Dawson either
tweeting to him I'm done with the
excuses shortly after the Smiths jumped
on the cancel bandwagon Dawson's books
were removed from Target's inventory
while YouTube suspended his ability to
monetize on his channels number seven
Doja cats may have nine lives but there
are only so many cancer isolations a
celebrity can endure back in the day
this rapper posted a number of tweets
directed at the gay community that have
been called insensitive when they
resurfaced years later dojakat
apologized for the tweets which have
since been deleted she seemed to
overcome this cancellation with the
success of her second studio album hot
pink 2020 did Doja cat few favors
however that was so scared of some damn
Corona not long after she downplayed the
severity of covid-19 on Instagram the
internet Revisited one of her old songs
that mocked victims of police violence
Doja cat was also accused of partaking
in an offensive chat room although it
was later reported that she didn't say
anything offensive on the site if you're
a true fan of me
if you're young all of my young fans
you know people who look up to me
you know my behavior isn't something
that always needs to be followed I'm not
perfect number six Shia LaBeouf do it
just do it this former Child star's
Public Image has been a series of ups
and downs the first major media blowout
came in 2008 when he received a DUI
LaBeouf was arrested again in 2014 for
disorderly conduct Criminal Trespass and
harassment at a performance of Cabaret
yeah what a nightmare and I'm hoping
that maybe you've you've calmed that
you've you're dialing back a little bit
yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna stay away from
Broadway for a little bit
uh no Broadway is not the problem it's
the whiskey I think yeah you're probably
right and that same year the buff
addressed accusations of film plagiarism
in 2017 LaBeouf got in trouble with the
law once more leading to a year of
probation
cameras everywhere you dummy I got more
millionaire lawyers than you know what
to do with you stupid [ __ ] Le buff
appeared to be making a comeback with
acclaimed performances in the peanut
butter Falcon and the
semi-autobiographical honeyboy but the
canceling started all over again in 2020
as LaBeouf faced more legal troubles as
well as accusations of mistreatment now
to our GMA cover story FKA Twiggs is
suing Shia LaBeouf the first line of her
lawsuit read Shia LaBeouf hurts women
number five the Kardashians and Jenners
they're not my people if they're against
this issue so big deal I'm not like
cheering them on you are you're voting
for Ted Cruz you're cheering him on
where do we even begin the internet is
constantly fluctuating between idolizing
and canceling the Kardashian gender Clan
while there are far too many scandals to
discuss them all some resulted in bigger
backlashes than others in 2017 Pepsi
removed an ad featuring Kendall Jenner
the that was accused of trivializing the
black lives matter movement two years
later Kim's shapewear brand kimono was
accused of cultural appropriation
causing her to change the name to skims
I definitely did not want to disrespect
a culture that's not what the brand is
even about it's about inclusivity it's
about
Comfort it's not about making people
uncomfortable I just feel kind of
dumb like why didn't we think about this
most recently Kendall landed in hot
water for throwing a massive maskless
birthday party during the pandemic based
on these photos many guests were not
wearing masks now social media is
lashing out despite constantly being at
the root of controversy the family
always seems to bounce back from
cancellation of course Keeping Up with
the Kardashians is indeed ending in 2021
so what's next
say you're sorry okay well if I said
something that hurt your feelings I'm
sorry number four Kanye West well Kanye
is still technically part of the
Kardashian Jenner family in early 2021.
even so West is truly his own entity Kim
Kardashian and Kanye West appear to be
headed for a split and now a source
tells E.T that the reality star has
considered divorcing the rapper and that
their marriage counseling hasn't made
much Headway while not the first time he
got in trouble his notorious
confrontation with Taylor Swift at the
2009 VMAs is what originally made Kanye
synonymous with canceled yo Taylor
I'm really happy for you I'm let you
finish but Beyonce had one of the best
videos of all time
one of the best videos of all time
Wes stirred up more controversy when he
threw his support behind Donald Trump
although he rescinded that support upon
announcing his own 2020 bid for
president although it was not
immediately clear if West was serious
about vying for the presidency just four
months out from the election or if he
had filed any official paperwork to
appear on state election ballots despite
previously suggesting that slavery was
quote a choice in 2018 West upset many
on the campaign Trail when he stated
Harriet Tubman quote never actually
freed the slaves she just had them work
for other white people West didn't win
but he seems content on making Kanye
2024 happen cancellations be damned
number three JK Rowling if there's one
person who audiences liked a lot more
before they got a Twitter account it's
JK Rowling for a period Rowling's
biggest Twitter offense was
retroactively canonizing details about
Harry Potter what got her canceled the
first time though was siding with
researcher Maya F4 Stater whose job
contract wasn't renewed due to her
statements about the transgender
Community Rowling was canceled again
less than a year later when she
commented on the term people who
menstruate I'm sure there used to be a
word for those people someone help me
out one bin wimpund wumud she wrote even
as several Wizarding World actors
condemned Rowling's comments she managed
to get herself canceled a third time
with a 3600 word piece defending her
views with her words she has moved
masses of people across the world and
has become one of the most influential
writers of the Modern Age now she has
taken pen to paper to make startling and
deeply personal Revelations about her
own life Rowling has also signed an open
letter against cancel culture although
some feel that she's missed the point
repeatedly to all the people who now
feel that their experience of the books
has been tarnished or diminished
pronounced redcliffe I am deeply sorry
for the pain these comments have caused
you number two Mel Gibson while Gibson
was accused of homophobia in the late
90s his career didn't suffer any
significant blows throughout that decade
even as The Passion of the
christ-generated controversy in 2004
Gibson remained a respected member of
the Hollywood Elite
[Applause]
that image was shattered two years later
when Gibson reportedly made anti-semitic
remarks during an arrest The Devout
Catholic wrote I am not a bigot hatred
of any kind goes against my faith and
asks the Jewish Community to help in his
journey through recovery from alcoholism
although many were ready to cancel him
for good Gibson's acting career started
to see a Resurgence in 2010 with Edge of
Darkness is that what you think happened
that same year however a phone recording
surfaced of Gibson speaking horribly to
ex-partner Oksana Grigorieva
despite these two highly publicized
cancellations Gibson has since seen some
success even scoring a Best Director
Oscar nomination his days is a bankable
leading man are likely over though

number one R Kelly
long before cancel culture was even a
phrase R Kelly had already been canceled
quite a few times what with his illegal
marriage to Aaliyah and a multitude of
other accusations we can only imagine
how much Twitter would have reacted to
Kelly in the 90s and early 2000s had it
existed then do you like
teenage girls
when you say Teenage how are we talking
much later the singer faced his most
severe cancellation with the rise of the
hashtag mute R Kelly movement and the
release of the docu-series surviving R
Kelly in 2019. Robert feels as if he's
Invincible I can't be touched and in
hindsight in society we kind of made him
feel that way while Kelly had been at
the center of numerous controversies for
almost 25 years this public airing
appeared to be the last straw that broke
the camel's back and it wasn't just the
public that canceled Kelly again just
over a month after the documentary aired
Kelly was brought in on 22 counts and is
currently awaiting trial
