there is something about celebrity worship to be inferred from the fact that there is only 1 non-american celebrity listed in this tgread (spanish news anchor).
that or it is selection bias

Mike Rowe.
Had a really good following when he did Dirty Jobs and then did a hard pivot to conservative, anti-union, pro-profiteering talking head.
Anyone who does a "buy gold" commercial is instantaneously persona non grata for me. Such a remarkable litmus test. Mike Rowe is one of them.

Snoop Dogg. Black man playing songs at an orange man’s klan rally, at this point Martha Stewart is more gangster than he is.
By the same token, my respect for Kendrick went up 1000% after his halftime show.
Yup, coward has been in hiding since the first negative articles came out. Just another sad human showing his greed over what is right.
Hmm maybe there should be a new strain out there sold as Snoop Sellout Kush.

JK Rowling. Why can't she just shut up and write kids books?
In that regard I have to praise Stephanie Meyer: she made her money and then fucked off, never to be heard from again.

Will Smith because of what he did to Chris Rock. Guy isn't a genuine role model anymore.

Neil Gaiman
Came here for this one. Fuck "separate the art from the artist." I will never read one of his books again.
If he wasn't preachy/performative about his "feminism" it wouldn't be as awful
Feminism is in quotes because IMO he doesn't believe what he preaches

Bill Cosby. I was raised on Bill Cosby albums and TV shows. I can't listen to him any more.

American Beauty got me to like Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey got me to stop liking Kevin Spacey.

It's not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references
Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B'Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).
All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with "both sides" arguments.
It's sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.

musk
There was a time when SpaceX and Tesla seemed like they were gonna change the world for the better, less co2, going to Mars and he even gave a few talks at astronomy events where he spoke about how carbon capture on Mars could be used to make rocket fuel (which is real and has been done btw) and bring starship rockets back, and how that same tech could be used on earth to help fight global warming. The future was gonna be amazing and I honestly believed he was gonna help make it happen
there's a real reason marvel had him in iron man 2

Will Smith. More so for his inauthenticity than the slap.
It goes back aways, but Dennis Miller went from borderline "edgy" to complete wimp and GW simp after 9/11.
Total 180
why do you people love celebrities so much?
if someone handles a ball nicely, writes a book, sings a song or plays guitar, like them for that and stop assuming they must also be wise in family advice or politically savvy

Neil Gaiman amongst many others named here.
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.
