blame is exhausting isn't it
feeding it maintaining it
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down
our picks for the top 10 stars whose
relationships destroyed their careers i
don't
need all the money
why
say
why my life sucks
all right stick a [ __ ] me i'm done
for this list we'll be looking at
celebrities who saw their professional
prospects dim
after hooking up with another famous
person we're not saying
these relationships were the sole cause
of the career destruction
but that they likely at least had a
notable effect some of these jilted
lovers may have bounced back
but as long as their business got back
burnered for any span of time
their fair game do any of these
limelight liaisons make you wince or wag
your finger
let us know in the comments number 10
meg ryan and russell crowe for years she
was hollywood's rom-com heavyweight
champion
ryan claimed the title with her
unforgettable performance in 1989's when
harry met sally
you say things like that and you make it
impossible for me to hate you
she tied the knot with dennis quaid in
1991 her co-star from 1987's inner space
which seemed fitting ryan continued to
see success over the years with
sleepless in seattle you've got mail and
many others
i lead a small life well valuable but
small
and sometimes i wonder do i do it
because i like it
or because i haven't been brave
everything seemed like a fairy tale in
public
though behind the scenes ryan's marriage
had problems when she started dating
russell crowe
tabloids had a field day the pair's film
proof of life may have suffered at the
box office as a result
i have some really bad news you're gonna
go inside and sit down
after 2004's against the ropes failed to
connect with audiences
ryan took a three-year hiatus from
acting altogether
it is not an excuse but
it is an explanation number nine leanne
rimes and eddie sibrian
this country music siren was just a kid
when she hit the big time with the
release of her first studio album blue
in 1996. she won two grammys the next
year
cementing her status as a music industry
maven even though she wasn't old enough
to drive
the southern belle branched out into
acting with a straight to tv flick in
1997
but made the leap to the silver screen a
few years later in coyote ugly
a little over a decade later her affair
with actor eddie sibrian while filming a
lifetime movie
put a serious dent in her wholesome
image blame
is exhausting isn't it
feeding it maintaining it
the public shaming hurt her career
though her subsequent victory on the
masked singer
showed rhymes can still shine number
eight
denise richards and charlie sheen i
could not get a job
i couldn't even get a meeting with
people and i could not understand
why my personal life would affect my
career
this stunning actor once seemed a
possibility for an a-list career
though now her position in the
alphabetic hierarchy of fame
is somewhat lower her acting career
began in the early 90s with a series of
laughably bad
films including one where her
boyfriend's brain ends up inside of a
giant cybernetic dinosaur
a few years later richard's rise was
kickstarted by her roles in starship
troopers and
wild things sam i miss you so much
it culminated with her turn as a bond
girl in 1999 but after marrying charlie
sheen in 2001
it was all downhill the abusive
relationship ended when she filed for
divorce in 2006.
her career never reached the same
heights but she has managed to continue
working steadily in film and television
but her star has definitely dimmed i'm
telling you
i and i'm telling you there is not no
truth to that
number seven angelina jolie and brad
pitt
you're still alive baby
what can we say jolie was getting acting
awards and generally slaying it before
she hooked
up with brad pitt during their marriage
jolie started testing her luck at
directing
since mr and mrs smith her on-screen
performances have decreased
though she did hit the jackpot with her
roles in maleficent and
changeling they told me and all of you
that this boy was my son
he was not my son the lapd made a
mistake
however before that she was pretty much
in everything
including the crime thriller the bone
collector and girl interrupted
while most fans hold her directing
dreams accountable
we have to wonder how her movie career
would have panned out
had she and brad pitt not gotten
together plus it seems like the two have
zero luck making movies together
mr and mrs smith and by the sea sadly
weren't that good
and the latter performed embarrassingly
at the box office
why
say
why number six jennifer lopez and ben
affleck
so you are dating huh
we've we've been found out jenny from
the block burst into the public eye as a
dancer for the early
90s sketch comedy series in living color
her titular role in the 1997 musician
biopic selena cemented her fame
baby i just feel like i could do
anything i want the whole world
dancing in my music and wearing my
clothes she continued to slay on screen
battling snakes bank robbers and a
serial killer's subconscious
her music career took off with her first
studio album on the 6 in 1999.
this double threat was riding high until
hooking up with ben affleck
dubbed benifer the couple's 2003 comedy
geely bombed hard
it's turkey time
huh
jlo found it difficult to brush off the
box office stink
eventually entering a professional rough
patch despite this the beauty from the
bronx battled back to the top
becoming a judge for american idol and
starring in 2019's hustlers
number 5 whitney houston and bobby brown
she may have always loved flash b but
fans didn't feel the same way
houston was a musical prodigy from a
young age in addition to powerful pipes
she had model level good looks and
plenty of charisma
hits like saving all my love for you
greatest love of all and
many more dominated charts and hearts
for decades
[Music]
after joining with brown and holy
matrimony in 1992
her personal life and spouse's legal
troubles started stealing the spotlight
he had a lot of people antagonizing and
and and trying to pull at us pull out
this one wave to another you know
pull it me put him by the early 2000s
the singer's albums no longer dominated
charts in the same way
but her marriage still grabbed headlines
brown was charged with battery against
houston
and some fans felt he was a destructive
influence i don't
her husband's reality tv show didn't
help as it portrayed houston negatively
but houston bounced back a few years
later before tragically passing away
number four britney spears and kevin
fetterline
this pop star's downward spiral may have
begun with her 55-hour long marriage to
jason allen alexander
but oops she did it again when tying the
knot with kevin fetterline after dating
for just three months
to make matters worse federline's ex was
pregnant with his child at the time
which was not a great look not content
with his new wife's fame and fortune
the pair appeared in a short-lived
reality tv show about their relationship
so i mean it worked out and it worked
out pretty good mm-hmm
nothing really good after their divorce
spears experienced some very public
difficulties
culminating with her infamous head
shaving incident they asked why
she wanted to shave her head and she
said i don't want anyone touching me i'm
tired
of everybody touching me she's now
recovered with a sold-out residency in
las vegas but the 2007 breakdown
continues to mar her career
her recent behavior has many people
asking is britney spears going out of
control
number three katie holmes and tom cruise
maybe just maybe there is
another part of me another girl that
lives
deep inside of me and maybe every once
in a while
she lets loose and does things that
might
blow some people's minds she played
america's girl next door on dawson's
creek
until landing the real-life role of tom
cruise's wife in 2006.
however shortly before that she did
manage to snag a prominent part in
christopher nolan's 2005 movie batman
begins
bruce
rachel i'd heard you were back
despite the film's success she decided
not to participate in the sequel
which were sure had nothing to do with
her co-star famously modeling his
american psycho character on cruz's
mannerisms
what no put it in the carton
some fans speculated crews in the birth
of their daughter suri
played a part in her several years-long
hiatus from acting
whatever the case she's been staying
busy since with parts in
everything from the giver to coda number
two
kurt cobain and courtney love nirvana's
front man had a marriage as famous as it
was toxic
the 90s sid and nancy first met in
portland oregon
with love playing the pursuer cobain
eventually gave in to her advances and
the pair had a romantic hawaii wedding
in 1992
roughly half a year after the band's
breakout album nevermind was released
though the bride wore a dress once
belonging to a famous actress
the groom opted for the more casual
attire of green pajamas
this inauspicious beginning was not the
first warning sign for the
self-destructive duo
snake dancing across the stage to ghosts
singing nazareth's songs
their battles with substance abuse were
well documented and being together may
have exacerbated their problem
cobain's marriage ended with his tragic
death in 1994
causing millions of fans across the
country and world to mourn his loss
the scene of the vigil was somewhere
between a
funeral and a rock concert it was the
oddest
feeling before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
demi moore and ashton kutcher after her
marriage to a much younger actor
this hollywood star hasn't risen again i
really know that
there are parts of what occurred with
this relationship ending
that were a level of devastating for me
that wasn't really just about that
relationship
it was really about my whole life chris
humphries and kim kardashian
he's one baller who never quite bounced
back from his reality tv marriage
in accord with the laws of the state of
california i pronounce you
husband and wife chris you may kiss your
bride
pamela anderson and tommy lee this
blonde bombshell's rocky marriage to the
motley crew drummer was overexposed

number one amber heard and johnny depp
sorry i didn't realize anyone was there
i thought it was just
floating mutual career destruction was
the outcome of this power couple's split
a lot of this was down to depp's fame
and their messy divorce which ended with
herd alleging domestic assault
she was on her way up when she landed
what seemed like a dream job starring
opposite depp in the rum diary
however her acting career was eclipsed
shortly after the pair
started dating even her role as a super
heroine and undersea
royalty got washed away by their very
messy divorce
you know i don't even know your name
it's princess ramirez
the acrimonious breakup dragged on in
the quartz and tabloids for
years nowadays heard is still acting but
she might have been an even bigger star
had she never waded into the deep end
with depp
but for both of them this has been a
damaging exercise so
whoever emerges the winner there's been
a lot of
dirty laundry aired and a lot of damage
done to reputations on both sides
