It"s heartbreaking when some of our most beloved celebrities start going off the deep end.
From racial slurs, run-ins with the law, drug charges, and scandalous affairs, here are 21 celebrities who fell from grace. HARD.
1. Bill Cosby
The most heartbreaking fall from grace may just be Bill Cosby. He played the perfect sitcom dad, and was known for those Jell-O commercials. Now he’s known for being a sleezebag rapist. Childhood memories are shattered.
2. Amanda Bynes
Remember when Amanda Bynes was just cute and innocent, doing her thing on The Amanda Show? No more. She’s been arrested on several occasions for drug use, DUI’s, and allegedly starting a small fire. She has since undergone treatment for her mental health.
3. Hugh Grant
Known for his roles on films like Notting Hill, About a Boy, and Bridget Jones’ Diary, Hugh Grant was arrested in 1995 for engaging in oral sex with a prostitute. He at least handled his fall from grace… with grace. A few years later, he was arrested again on allegations of assault, but the charges were dropped.
4. Chris Brown
Talk about a total and complete fall from grace. Recording artist Chris Brown pled guilty to felony assault of his girlfriend at the time, Rihanna. And that was just the bginning. He arrested again for assault in 2013, and has several other run-ins with the law as well.
5. Dustin Diamond
Dustin Diamond used to be known for his role as Screech on Saved by the Bell. Now, we know him more for things like a sex tape he released and charges of disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. In 2015, he was sentenced to four month in prison.
6. Jodie Sweetin
We all know Jodie Sweetin for one role in particular — Stephanie Tanner on Full House (and soon again, on Fuller House!). Sweetin fell from grace after Full House ended, turning to drugs and alcohol in a big way. She wrote about it in her memoir, ‘unSweetined’ in 2009, and is now sober.
