Ricky Gervais.
Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his "edginess" and mugging grating.

I was a big fan of the superman portrayal of Dean Cain. Turns out the shit bag is as far away from the ethos of superman as you can be. Fuck him for staining a childhood favorite portrayal of one of my favo characters.

Kevin Spacey
Ashamed to admit I was once (pre-Sachs phone call) at least intrigued and open to the idea of liking the noted sex pest and abuser Russell Brad. Stuff has continued to get worse.
Had been a fan of Kevin Spacey, too.
Gaga and P!nk have also gone done in my estimations somewhat, but unlike everyone else no serious reason for it.
Obligatory Gaiman and JK Rowling, too.
Edit: oh, and Luis Scott Vargas. Abandoned his pregnant wife for someone else, and started shilling crypto. 😵🤷🏼🙆🏾♂️

Adding Louis CK to the list. I used to like his shows, and genuinely found the writing and his takes to be thoughtful and helpful. Finding out he was gross and shitty the whole time sucked.

Roger Taylor and Brian May from Queen. Not due to them being overt assholes, but about how the treated the cinematic legacy of Freddy Mercury.
The blocked a movie idea with Sasha Baron Cohen playing Freddie in his flamboyant, over the top lifestyle as they wanted it to be 'more about the band' and they wanted Freddies death to be the middle part of the story, where the last half was them two (as Roger Deacon had walked away from them) protecting Freddies legacy.
I mean, the reason people loved Freddie was over his larger than life persona, and I'm convinced Cohen could've struck the note between the over-the-top, the fabulous and the pesonal Freddie.
Instead we got BoRep, which was an awful movie with a polished up storyline and danger free scenes. Also it was horribly edited.
I must say, they haven't done horrible stuff, they are decent individuals. But they got their succes out of working with Freddie yet they fail to see why everybody was so enchanted by Freddie and not so much by themselves.
