Disgraced celebs can come back.. sometimes
THERE can be no greater fall from grace for a celebrity than Harvey Weinstein’s transformation from Hollywood darling to pariah.
This week, his former company filed for bankruptcy – months after the Oscar-winning producer, above, was accused of multiple sexual assaults.
Surely, no amount of denials and slick lawyers can resurrect Weinstein’s career, after a series of allegations so heinous they sparked the global feminist movement #MeToo.
Buy never say never. Actor and director Mel Gibson, right, seemed unemployable after he unleashed a vile diatribe of antiSemitic and racist slurs when he was arrested for drink driving in 2006.
This week, his ex-wife told a court she had been diagnosed with PTSD because of his domestic violence, yet last year he had a prominent role in the movie Daddy’s Home 2. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, left, was publicly shamed after he was filmed spitting into a car, hitting a 14-year-old girl.
But after several public apologies and a plea from the girl’s father that he should keep his job, his current suspension from the broadcaster is unlikely to last.
Kendall Jenner’s image will be forever tainted by the commercial which appropriated imagery from Black Lives Matter. The model and reality star was castigated for starring in a crass depiction of a protest where she hands a Pepsi to a police officer and gives him a highfive. But her career continues to go from strength to strength.
As supermodel fails go, few are as notorious as Kate Moss, right, being pictured snorting cocaine. She lost contracts from Burberry, Chanel, and H&M but, after a stint in rehab, was reinstated as a global fashion icon.
And when party animal Prince Harry, left, was snapped in 2005 wearing a Nazi uniform to a mate’s fancy dress party, his reputation was in tatters. Now, Harry is marrying a Hollywood princess and is Britain’s most-loved royal.
