Becoming a celebrity isn’t an easy feat whatsoever. Celebrities have to spend countless hours perfecting their career, getting the right agent to promote them, appearing at events, and many other things to keep up appearances. Becoming famous can come down to taking advantage of rare key moments. But once people become famous, that doesn’t mean they’re in the clear.
When they appear in public, celebrities must constantly watch what you say and how you act. Otherwise, it can and does negatively impact your career. We’ve seen many a celebrity say or do something that sent their once-promising careers downward. We chronicled the celebs who flushed their careers down the toilet in moments just by speaking and acting out of line, so find out who they are for yourself here.
R. Kelly
Where do we even begin with this controversial R&B singer? It’s almost as if he flushed his career down the toilet on purpose. Thanks to his secret obsessions including minorities and inappropriate gestures towards minors, he threw himself under the bus. At first, he refused the claims that the public made about him, including young girls claiming he used them as sex slaves. Eventually, his record label caught on to all of the illegal things he purposefully did. He was arrested and taken care of by the feds, going to jail and flushing his career down the toilet at the same time (via Fox 32 Chicago).
