31 "Beloved" Celebs People Think Are Actually Terrible
A while back, Reddit user brody0628 asked, "What is a celebrity everyone loves but you think is insufferable?" and people had some stronggggg opinions. Here are celebrities they think are actually bad people — along with some responses from the BuzzFeed Community and this Reddit thread. "Nick Cannon. The fact that the internet makes jokes about how many kids he has or tries to paint him as a good father because he takes his kids to Disney World is disgusting! He couldn't even remember the names of all his kids when asked. Most, if not all, of his kids are going to grow up having no relationship with him." "John Lennon. I know he's been dead for 40 years, but man, he was such a shit person." "John Stamos. He looks like a wax museum version of himself and it seems like his ego is as big as his Disney collection." —jessethecowgirlStamos also once told a story about convincing a woman she was having sex with him when it was really his friend:"[In the mid-eighties] I was in a band. I was playing somewhere in Finland, and there was a girl hanging around who was really drunk and interested in me. I wasn't into her, but my friend was. So the girl came back to my hotel, and I turned the lights down, and we started making out. I said, 'Hold on a second, I've gotta go brush my teeth.' It was dark, I left the room, and I sent in my friend who looked like me. And she thought she was having sex with me, but she was really having sex with my friend."Suggested by jeramoo "Whoopi. She's the boomerest boomer to ever exist. Has no empathy for younger generations and is constantly telling struggling millennials/Gen Z people they don't have it that bad." "Jackie Chan: Hong Kong-born but pro-Beijing. That's enough for me." "Brad Pitt isn't the stand-up guy he portrays! Maybe it was the story about him ... [allegedly] being abusive to his wife in front of his children that turned me off. Definitely not something a nice guy would do!" —quizzydog27 [Editor's note: You can read more about the plane assault allegations here, but Jolie did eventually drop the lawsuit. Pitt has denied there was any physical violence.]Pitt also dated Juliette Lewis when she was 17, and he was a decade by re89245 "I've disliked Jimmy Fallon since his SNL days when it felt like he'd break character in a sketch to get a bigger laugh. Ruffling Donald Trump's hair during his interview pretty much turned me off of him for good." —rachelc43 "Far worse is Jimmy Kimmel — he 'pranks' his family on his show, but they all seem to really hate it. I had to stop watching him during the Trump presidency because all he could do on his show was make 'fat jokes.' Trump does a million wild things; stop making the same cringey and offensive jokes from the early '90s! And if you have any doubts, look up The Man Show — absolutely horrific." —bric4349cd9f2 "Owen Wilson, a seemingly good dad to his sons, [is allegedly a] deadbeat father to his daughter: he underwent a paternity test, still refuses to meet her, and just threw money at her (he dated the child's mother on and off for five years)." —bigfinsquidWilson has not responded to these claims beyond a rep saying, 'This is a private matter, and it's not appropriate to comment further.' "Not to speak ill of the dead, but Kobe and the whole rape allegation. ... Not sure why people are so wild about him." "Matthew Broderick. Another example of rich people just not having to face consequences. For anyone that doesn't know, In 1987, he was driving during a head-on collision with another car, which killed a mother and daughter. He paid the equivalent of $175 and served no time." "Jerry Seinfeld. So many people seem to love him, and his show was wildly successful, but I can't stand him at all." "Steven Tyler, for [allegedly] convincing parents to sign a 14-year-old over to him. Then ... dumping her back on their doorstep at 17." —metal_jesterSome more info: Tyler actually admitted to having sex with a minor in his memoir. 'She was 16, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn't a hair on it," Tyler wrote. He was 26 at the time. He also wrote, 'Her parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn't get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour." It's likely that Tyler is referring to Julia Holcomb, who sued him in 2022 for sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress back in the '70s. She says that Tyler persuaded her mother to sign over guardianship to him. Holcomb also says in court documents that she became pregnant and Tyler made her have an though not directly named in the suit, denied these claims, said their relationship was consensual, and claimed immunity because he was her legal guardian then, calling for the suit to be dismissed. Similarly..."I always find it weird that Anthony Kiedis from The Red Hot Chili Peppers admitted to having sex with a child in his autobiography, and barely a word is said about it." —bgar1432Some more info: Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers wrote about having sex with a 14-year-old in his autobiography Scar Tissue. The girl — who reportedly inspired the song "Catholic School Girls Rule" — came backstage at his concert, and the two had sex. According to Keidis, she then continued on with the band to Baton Rouge. After their show, the girl revealed that she was 14 and her father was the chief of police in her town, adding that "the entire state of Louisiana" was looking for her because she'd been reported said he wasn't scared "because, in my somewhat deluded mind, I knew that if she told the chief of police she was in love with me, he wasn't going to have me taken out to a field and shot, but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So we had sex one more time.' He was in his mid-20s at the time. "Prince. He met his ex-wife when she was sixteen (and later declared he knew he was going to marry her right then) and then put her on birth control at nineteen after they had 'a really deep friendship' (yeah right) for three years." "[According to her,] he later made her do an interview soon after their son died, threw that son's ashes away, ... and dumped her by the time she was 26. I love the man's music, but I wish people would talk more about the hell he put Mayte Garcia through."—ToasterGuacamoleWrap "John Mulaney. He was so funny and really killing it. But what he did to his ex-wife is so terrible." —prodigalpunSome more info: Mulaney filed for divorce from Anna Marie Tendler in July 2021, after which point she released a statement reading that she was "heartbroken that John has decided to end [their] marriage." It was reported they'd broken up in February 2021, though Mulaney later claimed he'd asked for a divorce in October 2020. In September 2021, Mulaney revealed that he had been dating Olivia Munn since the spring (right off the heels of his time in rehab), and that Munn was pregnant with their child, despite the fact that Mulaney had been open about not wanting children. Mulaney has since credited Munn and their child in his recovery journey. "Doja Cat has been problematic. Even before she blew up commercially, she was being accused of racism — against Black people. Ngl, I like some of her songs, but there's a lot of mental dissociation involved for me. Sometimes I don't like being aware of this shit because this is why we can't have nice things." —pbbtDoja denied participating in racist conversations and apologized for her behavior in chat rooms when she was younger. "Oprah was basically the O.G. Jerry Springer and pioneered that genre of shock-garbage-emotional-manipulation TV. Now she's interviewing Prince Harry like she's Barbara fucking Walters or something. I don't get it." "Nicki Minaj, and thankfully everyone's finally starting to get it. All this information came out back in, like, 2021, and it somehow got swept under the rug. I never got good feelings from her." "Drake is creepy, the way he befriends young teen girls! That's a weird thing for a grown ass man to do." "I can't stand Kevin Hart. He's not funny, and his stand-up shows are forced laughter in a nutshell." "Tom Cruise. Scientology." "Gwyneth Paltrow. She can Goop right outta here." "Julia Roberts." "Fred Armisen. Of that SNL era I like pretty much everyone else; he just deeply skeeves me out for some reason." "Bill Murray. I don't hate him, but for some reason the internet thinks he is God's gift to comedy. He's alright, but he's nowhere close to the idol that the internet makes him out to be." "I know I'll get hate for this but Jim Carrey. I find the guy totally obnoxious! He seems like he's got one schtick and that's all he knows." "Leonardo DiCaprio. He seems like such a creep." "Paul Walker. He...[reportedly] dated a 16-year-old in his 30s." "Johnny Depp. I think he's overhyped. Used to be a fan, but the last decade he lost his shine for me." And finally, "Drew Barrymore." What "beloved" celebrity do you think is actually a bad person? Let us know in the comments.

43 Items To Transform Your Home Into A Personal Haven
A wearable blanket with a hood and a front pocket so you can snuggle cozily as you read about the detective getting closer and closer to solving the murder that has plagued his entire career. Yeah, you're gonna need the extra comfort when that plot twist finally gets revealed. A plush shag duvet cover lined with soft velvet on the bottom, so you'll be cozier than you ever thought possible, no matter which side of the blanket you decide to snuggle under. Your bed will basically be a ~comfy haven~. A set of three flameless flickering candles so you can have the perfect ambiance without fretting about leaving an open flame near your favorite books. You can choose a steady glow or a flicker effect to really set the cozy ambiance for your night at home, curled up on the couch reading your favorite novel by the "flame." A sunrise alarm clock because it's so similar to the viral Hatch alarm clock, but will end up saving you hard-earned moolah. This little device simulates the sunrise (a big win for basement dwellers), and it functions as a night-light (with color-changing options), an alarm clock, and a white noise machine so that you can get a peaceful night's sleep. A sleek, whisper-quiet air purifier so you're not having to pick up a duster every single week (which totally messes with your relaxation time, dammit). This machine has a HEPA filter, so it'll help collect the rogue dust, pollen, and pet dander that your mom keeps finding clumps of in the corner of your room after you literally just cleaned. A mini projector with a 200-inch projection screen and built-in stereo speakers to turn your home into a personal movie theater.

It has a built-in timer, and it'll be a cute addition to your home decor! A Bluetooth-enabled record player perfect for any old-school music lover out there. This is truly the 🎶best of both worlds🎶 since you can dust off and play your long-since-used vinyls, but you can also connect it to your phone and play the latest hits from your playlist. Plus, it comes in such cute colors, so you're def gonna find a shade that matches your whole ~vibe~. A set of insulated blackout curtains to protect your room from the bane of your slumber existence: heat, light, and noise. Parents have even claimed that it's helped their toddlers sleep for longer! You're basically gonna feel like Sleeping Beauty with these. A string light curtain you can layer with some sheer curtains so your room can look like a cozy wonderland. These will really set the ambiance and make every night at home a ✨fancy✨ one — you won't ever want to leave the house. A tea sampler box with up to eight different flavors (48 bags total!!!) so you can have the proper warm cuppa when you're spending a night cozying up at home. These have both caffeinated *and* decaffeinated options, so you can have the perfect, flavorful brew no matter the time of day.

A pair of cooling pillowcases so you don't overheat in the middle of the night and wake up covered in buckets of sweat. You'll feel like you're living in a 5-star hotel because they are that comfortable. An Ember temperature-control smart mug for slow sippers who don't feel like getting up every 30 minutes to warm up their coffee for the millionth time.

A magnetic screen door with durable polyester mesh fabric to keep the creepy crawlies out, while still allowing fresh air to circulate through your home. Finally, you're gonna be able to feel the breeze without also suffering mosquito bites.

Mother Describes ‘Pure Terror' as Disney World Ferry Slammed into Dock at 'Full Speed' (Exclusive)
Deanna D. was leaving Magic Kingdom park on July 30 when her ferry boat crashed into the dock at the Transportation and Ticket CenterNEED TO KNOW A mother is recalling the moment her Disney World ferry crashed into a dock on July 30 Deanna D. spent the day at Magic Kingdom with her husband and two daughters before the nighttime parade was cancelled due to impending rain Deanna claims she suffered a hand and foot injury as a result of the incidentA recent Walt Disney World guest is recounting the moment her ferry boat crashed into a dock at 'full speed.' Deanna D., who requested to be identified with an abbreviated last name for privacy reasons, was visiting Magic Kingdom park with her husband and two daughters, 7 and 10, on Wednesday, July 30. The family stuck around until the park closed to see the nighttime parade, but cast members informed guests it would be cancelled due to impending rain. According to Deanna, staff directed guests out of the park and recommended taking the monorail or ferry boats to get back to the Transportation and Ticket Center, where they had parked. The family, having already taken the monorail in the morning, opted to take a ferry. On board, the family split up: Deanna took one daughter to the upper deck while her husband and their other daughter stayed down below. Although it was both 'dark' and 'rainy,' Deanna claims she was still able to see the incoming transit hub as they motored across the Seven Seas Lagoon. As the boat made its approach, Deanna kept her daughter seated while she stood up. But then the unexpected happened. 'The boat hit with full speed, I mean, it went full speed into this barrier,' Deanna tells PEOPLE. She describes her feelings in that moment as "just pure terror. It was like being on the frickin' Titanic… People were thinking the boat was going down, a pregnant woman fell down, there were kids at the front of the boat when it happened and got crushed into the railing.' Deanna claims there was no warning before the passengers were jolted forward and no response from the crew afterwards. 'Absolutely nothing was said,' she claims. 'No apologies, nothing." Instead, Deanna says the other passengers on the boat were helping one another to safety. One woman hugged and comforted Deanna's daughter during the ordeal. 'I had a small child, literally screaming because she was scared. She wasn't hurt, but she was just absolutely terrified,' she says. 'As a parent, it sends you into this fight or flight. I'm still shaking thinking about it.' After the family got off the boat, she remembers seeing cop cars 'everywhere' and a 'handful' of ambulances. She says emergency service personnel from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) and Orange and Osceola Counties were on site. Representatives for the Orange County Fire and Rescue Department and Osceola Fire Rescue confirmed to PEOPLE that officials responded to the incident as part of a mutual aid agreement with CFTOD (Walt Disney World's special jurisdiction). The 'District' did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. While shaken, the family still visited Animal Kingdom the following day for their final day in the parks. Deanna, who says she experienced a rope burn while trying to grab something during her fall on the boat, requested an evaluation at the park's medical office. The medic 'did mention that there was heavy bruising on my hand and it had a lack of mobility. Unfortunately, all she could do was give me Ibuprofen and some ice,' Deanna remembers. Additionally, Deanna claims her foot suffered an injury as she struggled to walk and was unable to work on Aug. 1. 'I've been going to Disney for 25 years and I can't see myself going back because now I'm horrified,' the Florida resident says. Deanna first recounted the incident on TikTok on Aug. 1. However, she claims she needed to make it 'friends only' because of the "belittling" comments of some other uses. The comments have since been deleted and/or removed.A representative for Disney World did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Other passengers on the boat shared similar stories of their experience. Tami Hackett of Houston, Texas, who was visiting the park with her daughter, her husband and their three kids, told local outlet Fox 35 that her family was injured on board too. 'Suddenly we crashed into something and we all went flying forward, falling' she recalled. 'The stroller landed on its back causing the girls to hit their heads. A lot of people screaming and really hurt bad…Not only was there no announcement on what to do when injured, they just had us get off the boat.' Hackett told the outlet an EMT looked over her granddaughters and all were cleared. Read the original article on People
