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

Too long a list.
He's hardly a celebrity but I'd say Van Neistat (Casey's brother)
I was all in when he started his YouTube channel and found him really relatabe and interesting but it took less than half a year and it became painfully obvious that he's only doing it for the money and it shows. That's about the fastest I've gone from discovering a new interesting person to losing my respect for them.
Kevin Smith.
I don't exactly follow him but why? I've never heard anything controversial he did.
Not OP, but mildly controversial was his movie Red State. It was a not-so-subtle take on the Westboro Baptist Church and their stance on gays.
Or maybe they're still upset about Jersey Girl, which was way too common and wholesome for the guy behind Jay and Silent Bob.
(Hot take: if Jersey Girl didn't have Smith or Carlin, it would've been mildly praised at the time and then mostly forgotten)
