From Justin Bieber to Amy Schumer, here are 10 celebs who get more hate than love
It's true, the world of Hollywood has always revolved around celebrities who are both the heartbeat and essence of the industry. However, it's interesting to note that alongside the love fans shower upon celebrities, there's an equal amount of fascination with criticizing and disliking them. Some of these annoying celebrities not only come off as obnoxious but also tend to be overexposed, leading to the public turning on them. Some of these famous faces have earned the reputation of being some of the most grating personas ever to grace the pages of tabloids.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian rose to fame as the star of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', becoming a household name. However, she has also garnered a significant amount of criticism and is considered one of the most disliked celebrities globally. One primary source of this animosity is the perception that she gained fame merely for being famous. Her initial recognition as Paris Hilton's assistant and the subsequent release of a notorious sex tape with Ray J propelled her to her overnight celebrity status. Furthermore, her lifestyle, geared to selling products, 'plastic' beauty standards and high-profile relationship with Kanye West have only added to the negative public perception surrounding her.
Kayne West
Next in list is non other than the Kanye West. Kanye has certainly found himself among the most polarizing figures in the entertainment industry with his infamous interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMA Awards coupled with his outspoken views. During his relationship with Kim Kardashian, the couple flaunted their fame and success, attracting both attention and criticism. However, the headlines intensified and the criticism heightened when West and Kardashian went through a highly publicized divorce. West then went through what could only be termed as a series of very public PR disasters as brands dropped him like a hot potato for his antisemitic views.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton has faced criticism for what some perceive as a lack of significant talent, her highly publicized personal life, and her association with a lavish lifestyle fueled by her family's fame and wealth. The moniker 'The Trash Princess' suggests a perception of Hilton as a privileged figure who lives off her parents' fame and financial standing. Hilton was also the first in the line of 'socialite' celebs who were famous for being famous. Paris with her '1 Night in Paris' sextape scandal and her line of products and reality TV shows leveraging her public persona was the OG model for the Kardashians, the Real Housewives and everything in that particular wheelhouse.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber has been in the spotlight as a highly recognizable pop star but his personal life and behavior have at times overshadowed his musical success. Bieber has faced criticism for displaying arrogance, privilege, and a negative attitude, which has led to a decline in public favor. Incidents such as spitting on fans and a neighbor, urinating in an open bucket, making racial slurs, abandoning a pet monkey in Germany, and expressing a hope that Anne Frank would become a fan have contributed to further hate.
Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf's Hollywood trajectory took a downturn, and he transitioned from reaching new heights to becoming one of the most disliked celebrities with a crumbling career. In 2020, his ex-girlfriend, musician FKA Twigs, filed a lawsuit against LaBeouf, accusing him of assault, sexual abuse, and causing emotional distress. Another ex-girlfriend also made allegations against him, contributing to a tarnished public image.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner has faced considerable backlash for being part of the Kardashian-Jenner clan and automatically gaining fame and fortune without any apparent merits. The resentment stems from her rapid rise to fame without seemingly putting in any effort. Additionally, her immense wealth, making her one of the wealthiest individuals globally, has further fueled the hate she receives for her opulent lifestyle that she flaunts on social media.
Khloe Kardashian
It is no surprise that another Kardashian is on the public's hate-list. Khloe Kardashian is facing public ire not just for stirring up drama on-sreen but also for the excessive use of filters and over-editing her photos. Her remarkable number of Photoshop 'fails' has amplified the hate she gets as the public doesn't like deceptive behavior. She has often been also criticized for how she and her sister Kim often pick fights for trivial reasons.
Chris Brown
Chris Brown's personal life, particularly the domestic abuse allegations involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, significantly damaged his public image and contributed to him becoming one of the most disliked celebrities. The violent assault on Rihanna, which occurred the night before the Grammy Awards, shocked the public when images of Rihanna's injured face circulated widely on social media and news outlets.
Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer's sense of humor has become a subject of hate and even irony, with some viewing it as the target of jokes itself. Additionally, she has been known to engage in unnecessary Twitter conflicts to maintain a certain level of attention. Critics have pointed out perceived weaknesses in her acting skills across various projects, both on the big and small screens.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow's public image has been marked by criticism from fans and critics who perceive her as arrogant and assertive in showcasing her opulent lifestyle, particularly her lavish Los Angeles mansion. Some feel that Paltrow might be inadvertently flaunting her wealth, fame, and privilege without a full awareness of the impact it may have on the average person. Additionally, her clothing line and GOOP products are often criticized for high price tags, making it inaccessible for the average consumer.
