Who had the biggest fall from grace in history?
Henry VIII has to be up there. He was a famously handsome, pious, and noble young king, very in love with Katherine when they were married, and over time he became the wife-killing tyrant we know today
He was never the biggest star, but Mark Salling’s fall from grace was massive. Went from the star of a prime time show to charged with child porn and dead in a matter of months
Not the farthest, but Phil Spector is worth a dishonorary mention.
Jeffrey Jones aka the Dad from Beetle Juice aka the principal from Ferris Bueller
Jared Fogel
Philippe Pétain would be one.
OJ has to be up there
Robespierre
Bill Cosby
Roses are red, Violets are glorious, Don't try to surprise... ...Oscar Pistorius
John Edwards. Ran for VP, getting ready to run for Prez, find out he had an affair and a kid while his wife was dying of cancer.
Benedict Arnold would be celebrated as the second-most important Founding Father after George Washington if not for...well...you know.
John Wilkes Booth
Lance Armstrong
Jeffrey Epstein. People forget how ex-presidents and celebrities were lining up to suck this guy’s dick, until it all went horribly wrong.
Icarus
Benedict Arnold has to be on this list. Dude went from a war hero to having his name be synonymous with traitor
Lance Armstrong’s reputation shit the bed pretty enthusiastically. The bracelets didn’t help.
Michael Vick is the big sports one I usually think of that’s not the obvious ones like OJ
Andrew Cuomo has got to be up there. He was a huge media darling during covid, wrote a book about how well he did, was being floated as a presidential candidate, then the sexual harassment and handling of nursing homes made him fall almost overnight.
Matt Lauer.
Doc Hudson
Bernie Madoff
Jeffery Epstein went from rubbing elbows with world royals and the wealthiest elites of the world to "hanging himself in prison all alone."
R.Kelly.... obviously..
Not the biggest, but I think Ellen's fall from grace was well deserved seeing as she is a massive piece of shit
Rudy Giuliani, after the attacks of 9/11 he brought NYC together as mayor was on SNL and threw out the first pitch at Yankee stadium was really well liked by everyone. Then he was Trump's lawyer and held a press conference at the wrong four seasons and is seeing as a bumbling idiot yes man who does whatever trump wants.
Jared from Subway
Hitler was actually praised by world leaders at the time of his rise. I forget what controversy brought him down though...
Ian Watkins from the band Lostprophets
Aung San Suu Kyi. Won a Nobel Peace Prize freeing her country from the grip of military rule, then years later used that military power to oppress the Rohingya Muslims.
Milli Vanilli
