If I was celebrity rather find away to make money instead of lying

[@whitleysdollhouse877]

All of them

[@vishalkalicharan7710]

[@mr.x8259]

The Kardashians suck!

[@Tomboyy9818]

Amen to that

[@xXxFiizziixXx]

I second this

[@lp-xl9ld]

One more crime OJ Simpson must answer for: had it not been for him we might never have heard of the Kardashians

[@BlackHatCinephile]

🥈

[@SPAnComCat]

They are the Very Definition of drama Brainrot that are a Mockery of Reality!

[@sthelena1815]

It's crazy to think that Ellen being gay was the least controversial thing she did.

[@sheemalmighty]

That lil gurl that was on Dr. Phil disrespecting her mom became rich and famous became of that episode going viral, which is sad af

[@smilinmadman6459]

While I agree, it wasn't just the episode that did it. As much as I don't like her, she was smart on how to play her hand.

[@beyondview]

Made Popular by acting like a stereotypical black girl. it's cool when other races do it but they demean black people

[@joyg95]

Cash me outside how bow tha

[@kayz19m]

Her mom sent her to a reform camp where she was abused btw and still made money off of her when she was successful

[@beatrixdobson4795]

Aren't Paris Hilton and Kim K basically famous because of the sex tapes?

[@learninglife38]

Yes.

[@Mondoishere]

1⁰0%

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

I love Miley Cyrus. My favorite Miley Cyrus songs: 1. BB Talk 2. Flowers 3. Fly On The Wall 4. Malibu 5. Party in the U.S.A. 6. See You Again 7. We Can't Stop 8. Wrecking Ball

[@susiesunshine43]

I love her songs Jaded and Used to be Young, and Flowers!!! She TRULY did make an amazing comeback!!!!

[@Brutal_Slam_]

A lot of these celebrities should not be given a small amount of recognition. Many of these people are honestly despicable.

[@michaelspence2902]

You forgot the song outside by george Michael after the whole gay cruising scandal. Even the arresting policeman tried to have it stopped.

[@kamsismith]

Marilyn Monroe and Kesha are the ones I instantly thought of.

[@BlackHatCinephile]

🥉

[@SPAnComCat]

What a missed opportunity...

[@V8-friendly]

Nowadays you just sit out a scandal and don't do anything. Just do as the politicians do. Works out just fine.

[@jackinthebox1993]

I know good and well Kim Kardashian better be at the TOP of this list!

[@katherineknapp4370]

I used to think that the situation was annoying and rude, but when the veil got pulled back and I saw Mike, I saw a real person going through real problems and I learned to like him.

[@tylergoodman3560]

These celebrities turned lemons into lemonade. 🎉

[@stingrey1571]

man, the term "celebrity" is thrown around way too loosely.

[@5ftOfRage]

Sorry I just right now I'm kind of over Taylor Swift & JLo because they're literally everywhere these days.

[@joeb.evrythngEclectic5571]

Robert Downey, jr?

[@introvertsrock9843]

Watching the short clips from reality shows increases reasons why i'm glad i never watch this crap

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

That's a silly music video of BB Talk by Miley Cyrus. I love this song.

[@MADBD619]

It’s quite amazing as to how some people can actually turn a negative into a positive such as this incredible people right here, huh?

[@abicailfrekulic2408]

I immediately thought of VPR cast members after Scandoval

[@neokain8707]

Kim Kardashian released that sex tape on purpose. Don't act like she was some kind of victim.

[@123theprodigy5]

Man, bad baby will be forever in debt to Dr. Phil for her success. if it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be here right now.

[@CandiceVidito]

Danielle Bregoli is nothing but a entitled spoiled brat

[@jwayneadams]

Nah this so called sex scandals is a way to get in the business if you have no real talent

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

That's a silly thumbnail picture.

So cool how you copy and paste this on numerous different channels. Loser.

[@brandongill2577]

George Michael '98?

[@Lover-of-Creative-Film-Song]

Swift I can believe since she's TERRIBLE at music no matter what genre she turns it into

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

That’s exactly how I feel about her. She’s not the only reason why today’s music industry sucks. Pop and rap artists rely on autotune, heavy basses, mumble rap-we only need to go back to what made 70s and 80s music great.

[@Lover-of-Creative-Film-Song]

@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 well, Not THAT far back, more like "Before 2010". Where most music made more sense to listen to the same way as the 70's and 80's and 90's and 00's And I know Swift was starting to become famous at 2008 but most other music still made sense back then But I can understand the auto tune thing and heavy bases But I'm mostly on about music with *"Creative Parodies"* and *"VERY GOOD Dialogues"* with music just as much as movies 🎥📽️🎬🍿 🎫 🎟️ 🎞️ and tv shows 📺and video games 🎮🕹️ So there's still some music these days that make sense like *Ed Sheeran, Bruno Marz, Taio Cruz, Sam Smith, James Author, Lady Gaga, Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora, Goerge Ezra, Olly Murs, Avicii, Lewis Capeldi, Kid Laroi, Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, Dan & Shay, Jason Derulo, Jay Sean, Beyonce, Pink, Rhianna, Budjurah, Glass Animals, Lauvv, Nicky Your, Post Malone, Adele, Lukas Graham, The Weeknd, Flo Rida, Ty💲, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Quavo* They're no exception they've got it in the bag

[@therubyminecart5291]

Here's a question, why do we put gate at the end of many scandals? Like come on cut it out people we don't need gate at the end of scandals

[@GeronFletcher]

Richard Pryor

[@andrewbatts7678]

Too many celebraties that I don't care about

[@ClassicCinema-ThenAndNow]

What a surprise about their changes, does anyone feel the same as me?

[@justfadingaway]

Love her or hate her, but Miley didn't do anything different than many ex child stars did before her.

[@thefamouspeople1960]

I love Taylor Swift

[@nohandle1028]

Every scandal drumpf's involved in.

[@shawnmortenson3952]

God save the queen - sex pistols

[@RayGainbows]

who?

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

🙏🙏

[@charleyhudson21]

earlyyyy

[@Reaperguy67]

Doesn't matter, it doesn't make you special

[@StanHalen1936]

Loserrrr

[@ThatAutisticBlackMan]

Yo Kim don't even look Armenian no more lmao "🎵got a bag, fixed my nose, with this WAP"

[@agood12no]

Who cares ? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

[@agood12no]

I saw Taylor Shifty and realized. IDGAF.

[@agood12no]

Ellen did nothing to dissuade the angry lesbian thoughts.
