Top 10 Most Damaging
Celebrity Rants
One day you are a dignified celebrity worthy of the public’s respect and adulation. The next day you’re a laughing stock, an embarrassment, a racist, a redneck, a person who gets booed for the rest of your life. What separates these two days is a damaging celebrity rant. No matter how much joy you have brought to us as our favorite TV character or how selflessly you have worked to better society, a few words can ruin it all. That’s all it takes. It seems almost unfair. That 5 minutes of one’s life can define an entire career. But in this world of hidden cameras, celebrity obsession and an unforgiving media, this is reality. When Michael Richards took the stage at the Laugh Factory over a week ago, he was the lovable, quirky actor who played Jerry’s neighbor on “Seinfeld.” When he left the same stage he was a rage-filled, mentally unstable racist who will probably never work again. And while I do not take any joy in Kramer’s demise, it is fascinating to watch someone you thought you knew ruin his whole life in a matter of minutes. But as the world reacts to the Michael Richards debacle, we must remember that he is not the first and will surely not be the last to destroy his own career due to a rant. He is merely the most recent. Here are the Top 10 Most Damaging Celebrity Rants.
