Hollywood Outcasts: 10 Stars Who Have Been Blacklisted By Hollywood

In the age of social media, public opinion shifts rapidly, and celebrities often find themselves in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Whether due to a misunderstanding or controversy, some stars have faced undue backlash. Here's a list of 10 big celebrities who, according to the internet, were unfairly canceled. Let's delve into their stories.

1. Corey Feldman

Growing up, I loved Corey Feldman; his unique persona and hilarious deadpan made him a much-loved child and teenage star. However, Feldman has spent many years campaigning against Hollywood's darker side, namely, the alleged industry heads and bigwigs who he says engaged (and continue to do so) in the abuse of minors. This stance has brought Feldman much hate from within the industry, resulting in nothing but bad publicity since.

2. Janet Jackson

 

The infamous Super Bowl duet with Justin Timberlake would not have even raised an eyebrow in today's decadent, value-free society. However, while Timberlake went on to dominate the world, Jackson became collateral. "Janet was completely blacklisted by Clear Channel and her career totally ended so fast that people act like she was already a has-been at that point," laments a fan. "She wasn't."

3. Sinead O'Connor

The Irish singer was never the conformist type. She angered Catholics worldwide after ripping up a photo of the Pope live on TV. "Her attempts at a message were just honestly bad, but the message was essential, and the world should have paid attention to it sooner," claims an observer. "History has thoroughly vindicated her as far as I'm concerned."

4. Rose McGowan

The catalyst for the #Metoo movement came to fame for her litany of charges against Hollywood serial abuser Harvey Weinstein. What's most unnerving about this cancellation is how mainstream media blocked much of McGowan's publicity. "Remember: as bad as Weinstein was, he had countless enablers who still pull the strings," warns someone who understands how these wretches operate.

5. Brendan Fraser

We love a redemption story, especially when it happens to good people such as Brendan Fraser. "Dude spoke up about being assaulted and was never heard from again until recently." explains a fan. "He seems like such a good guy, so I'm glad he's back in the spotlight." Thankfully, the good guy won in the end; Fraser received his first Oscar this year for his performance in The Whale.

6. Monica Lewinsky

"She was a young woman who was victimized by HIM and the media," declared an Internet user. "She really seems like a very intelligent and well-put-together lady." The mainstream media canceled Lewinsky for her role in exposing former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The wrong person was canceled that year.

7. Mo'Nique

The debut actress was awe-inspiring, winning an Academy Award for her portrayal of Precious in the mind-blowing film of the same name that teaches us about parental neglect and domestic abuse. A fan claims that after Mo'Nique refused to do press tours and marketing for the movie, producers Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry weren't happy. "She refused, saying she was paid to act in the film, and that is all," laments the observer. "She (deservedly) won the Oscar, but Oprah and Tyler basically had her blacklisted in Hollywood."

8. Rebecca Black

Parents everywhere were appalled by how the world treated an adolescent YouTuber who released her first single. Yes, the song was awful, but the subsequent online abuse was appalling. One commenter makes a valid point: "She was ahead of her time," argues the commenter. "She'd be as rich as 6ix9ine if that video came out in 2016."

9. George Michael

"A public bathroom may not be the best place to get freaky," suggests a contributor, "but at least it was consensual." Sadly, George Michael was ridiculed and blacklisted from polite society when he was caught propositioning a man in a public restroom. After he died in 2016, fans wept with regret for the loss of an iconic singer. However, among the outpourings of grief were dozens of heartwarming anecdotes of Michael's kindness, especially with unpublicized charity work and random acts of generosity.

10. Yoko Ono

Society (its narrators, to be more precise) loves to fixate on a story, regardless of whether it is accurate. Many people feel Yoko Ono has been unlucky in this regard. "Paul McCartney has said multiple times that the Beatles broke up because John Lennon was difficult to work with," reasons a music fan. "Not because of Yoko, but because of his inflated ego." Having learned much about Lennon, I now sympathize with Ono.

Who do you think should never have been canceled?
