00:00 These artists careers were never the same after one incident, whether it was from their
00:04 own terrible decisions that got blown out of proportion.
00:08 We're looking at likable celebrities who ruined their careers in seconds.
00:13 First up we have Meghan Markle.
00:16 Before Meghan Markle became a royal, she was an actor gaining a lot of fame in Hollywood,
00:22 especially for her portrayal of the character Rachel Zane in the TV show Suits.
00:28 But that quickly changed after getting married to Prince Harry.
00:39 What was once great admiration from the public became intense public distaste.
00:46 In a major interview with Oprah Winfrey in March of 2021, Meghan and Prince Harry claimed
00:51 that a member of the royal family approached them when Meghan was pregnant with her son
00:57 Archie and expressed concerns about the potential skin color of the child when he was born.
01:05 And after that, the couple released a documentary
01:16 and a book that spoke about the royal family in a negative light.
01:20 And the public was not having this at all.
01:23 And the couple, Harry and Meghan, are still in what is known as their flop era.
01:29 Next up we have Amber Heard.
01:31 So one of the most talked about legal battles in 2022, and as a matter of fact, I think
01:36 in history, was the divorce between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
01:40 As well as all the trial and court drama that followed their divorce.
01:50 Amber Heard was married to actor Johnny Depp from 2015 to 2017.
01:55 And during their relationship, she accused Johnny Depp of being vicious towards her.
02:07 And in early 2019, Johnny filed a defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.
02:12 And in response, she then filed a countersuit against him the following year.
02:17 Initially, things seemed to be going in Amber's favor.
02:21 But that all changed as evidence was brought out during the trial and people got to see
02:27 that she was actually very vicious towards Johnny Depp.
02:32 And she definitely fell from grace.
02:34 She's not held in high regard when it comes to public perception.
02:39 From there, we got to look at Will Smith.
02:42 One unforgettable moment in the history of red carpet events is Will Smith's slap at
02:48 the 94th Academy Awards.
02:51 On March 27, 2022, after a joke about his wife, Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock.
03:06 And what made it very surprising was that Will Smith was laughing along for a few seconds
03:12 before suddenly losing his temper.
03:14 This incident turned Will Smith into an overnight meme and he was officially banned from attending
03:20 any Academy Awards ceremonies for 10 years.
03:24 The next celebrity is Lindsay Lohan.
03:27 Lindsay Lohan, her career took off at a young age, but it wasn't until the remake of The
03:33 Parent Trap that she became a household name.
03:44 After the success of the remake, she starred in leading roles in some of the most popular
03:50 chick flicks like Mean Girls as well as Freaky Friday.
03:53 However, her fame didn't last very long.
03:57 Her struggles with substances as well as alcohol escalated in the late 2000s.
04:03 And despite going to rehab and struggling with addiction and having multiple run-ins
04:08 with the law, things started to go downhill for her.
04:12 These troubles damaged her reputation and these days she is rarely seen on TV or in
04:17 any movie.
04:19 Next up, we end off with Amanda Bynes.
04:21 Amanda Bynes had a successful career and earned a lot of money, especially during her early
04:27 years.
04:28 She appeared in popular films and was a part of Nickelodeon's All That.
04:33 One of her most well-known roles was in the movie She's the Man.
04:40 However, things took a difficult turn in her life and her parents were accused of not helping
04:50 her during this very challenging time.
04:53 Amanda Bynes refused to go to rehab so her parents had to take legal action to make her
04:59 go.
05:00 Unfortunately, her life took a deeper downward spiral and she became known for her unusual
05:05 behavior.
05:06 Back in 2013, she was arrested for DUI after a collision with a police car.
05:13 And then, 10 years later, in 2023, she voluntarily admitted herself to a psychiatric ward after
05:20 being seen wandering the streets without any clothes on.
05:24 So there you have it guys, these were some of the most likable celebrities who ruined
05:29 their careers in seconds.
