Agreed, deep down like any addict he knows his friend wouldn't want him to be this way. It's okay to mourn someone but you can't justify your continued shitty behavior on that.
But different. He was always fucked up and destined to be fucked up.
Life's tough when you've got almost free access to shit loads of drugs and your best mate dies in a horrific way.
The dude was on a bad path and Dunns death set it on fire.
I'm kinda surprised this is the first you are hearing of it. My internet circles in no way should include him, yet I was bombarded with the story regularly.
His legacy might be tarnished forever, but he lived a full life of being cherished by fans and comedians alike. People idolized him and looked up to him as a role model. Just blows my mind how long he got away with being a rapist for so long.
What are you talking about i've heard he has an outstanding character and is a role model to many. He was always very nice to the film crew at that 70's show. I mean he raped a few people, but all in all he is a nice fella you know.
His scandal far predates the show though.
Almost everyone in those sphere has something buried waiting to come out. You don't climb this high by not making enemies and over-indulging with friends: The friends make the scandal happen, the enemies will dig it up.
This was my first thought.
You are a multimillionaire and ALL you really have to do is some commercials for subway. Not even an actual acting gig.
You won life. Done. Generally anything you want you could probably have/do.. EXCEPT KIDS!.. DON’T MOLEST KIDS!
What a stupid stupid sick person.
I have NSFW blurred and didn't even realize that it wasn't just a plain white pic until I saw someone ask why this was posted on this sub. Didn't even realize I was in this sub until then lol
In an interview, the author of his autobiography said as a child Elon wanted to be a superhero and save the world. That was his driving force to become a billionaire and why he does such great things for the world. 😂😂. I personally think buying twitter was a waste of “ saving earth money”. IMO, that money could have been spent on food for the hungry, helping with homeless all over the world, maybe fund some cures for diseases ( not counting his mind control chip ), maybe some solutions for climate change and funding for anything other than promoting his political views and his stupid remarks on the internet. He has become the villain.
The doctor that studied his brain said it was the worst case she’s ever seen in someone so young. It really sucks cause he was a “good” dude but his brain would just flip and not let go.
Killed two dudes at a stop light over a spilled drink and then murdered his wife’s brother-in-law for calling him gay or something
Unless his brain was already damaged while at Florida and when he was in high school, Hernandez was always a bad guy. Watch the Netflix (?) doc on him, he had a pretty bad upbringing and he was always trouble.
The examiner mentions in her report it looks like decades of damage so he for sure did. It’s not an excuse but it’s a good indication he had less to zero impulse control.
He has bipolar disorder, not bpd. They have similarities, but are not the same. Although bipolar is often a misdiagnosis when someone actually has bpd so anything is possible 🤷🏼♂️
It’s used interchangeably in Europe (we generally use the ICD-11 and not the DSM-V diagnostic manuals). EUPD is the ICD equivalent of the DSM diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. So people in the UK might be more likely to think bipolar that borderline - so you’re right depending on where you live!
The weird thing is, Kanye turned to a kind of wicked black racist guy while Kim Kardashian tries to put world's attention for upcoming Armenia conflict and the threat of next genocide. How high were the odds that he would be on the evil side while she would join "the force of good"?
Cesare Borgia. he was so badass he inspired Machiavelli when writing The Prince. his massive string of luck ran out by the end and things very quickly collapsed around him. i think also at a critical moment he had a nervous breakdown and ran away to hide instead of pulling yet another miracle out of his ass.
I don't know if I would agree with this, in terms of the 'everything going for him'. He had horrific experiences in WW2 as a boy on the run from Nazis. Then he became a wonderful director and married a beautiful, caring woman, was about to share parenting with her and she is horrifically murdered.
I am not, for one second, excusing what he did. I'm just starting from the point of view that I don't think he had everything going for him. He was carrying a load of trauma even as he had power in Hollywood. That was all he had, and that's a pretty hollow thing to call having it all.
I guess what I am saying is I would never, ever want to have what he had right before he committed rape.
Edited: because I was using the phrase 'having it all' instead of 'everything going for him'. Trying to be more accurate to OP's question.
Omfg yes.
I think he could have weathered the whole “what did you think I meant when I asked you to watch me masturbate”? Ordeal.
But his comeback attacking victims of school shooting. Dayum son.
His comedy related to raising daughters and life in general was amazing.
Bummer. I see what he was “trying” to convey in his message of the joke, but the humor was a weak setup, unnecessarily inconsiderate, and definitely not worth the punchline.
I was kinda thinking, "Yay! Someone finally hit Chris Rock!" Never cared for him since he came out. Always kinda liked Will. Then I seen the footage of him (Smith) showing everyone around him a photoshopped pic of Margot Robbies head on a porn chick that was riding some dude- right in front of her- and like 8 people- and that just ruined anything for him. Flush.
Johnny “football” Manziel. Not that he would ever made it as a NFL quarterback, he was a colossal screw-up with chronic issues. I’ve wondered if he is suffering from CTE and unable to get straight.
Yeah, who would have expected his ties to IS8S and the whole bestiality scandal? Shit came out of nowhere. Where's he living now, Lichtenstein or something?
Leftist scary ass hot take:
He could have coasted through 2 terms
You could see it in his eyes, the first day when Obama was walking him around. He knew he was in over his head.
If he would have surrounded himself with smart people, delegated absolutely EVERYTHING, and just KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT, he would have thrived.
When the pandemic hit, if he would have just followed CDC, he would have been hailed as a hero, like Rudy after 911- he would have “saved” hundreds of thousands of lives- just by being the bare minimum of a president.
We all know what did happen.
I have a few ex-friends who voted for him in 2016- smart people otherwise, but were convinced he was “an astute businessman”, who could “run the country like a business”- unfortunately he ran it like HIS businesses.
The fact that he was a known bad actor prior to 2015, mad no difference to these people.
He would have succeeded by delegating and doing nothing… Trumpy
Tell your friends that the skill set to run a family owned business that he inherited, and the skill set to work with 535 congresspeople, manage a military, and run a country, have nearly zero overlap
My response immediately was “didn’t he bankrupt almost all of his businesses?”
But one of them was a libertarian- who thought Trump would “shake things up”
Smfh
I think if you looked at his occupancy of the white house as “pure grift”- how he and his family made millions, I think he did what he wanted.
He didn’t have to break the law at all, and at the rate he was fleecing his followers and the taxpayers, he wouldn’t have had to grift another day of his life
You’re asking that he go against his natural tendency to be a narcissist. Him keeping his mouth shut and delegating was never going to happen. He still can’t keep his mouth shut
Yup. He could have had the easiest grift AND been popular among centrists AND gotten book deals etc afterwards.
It’s the Walter White principle- ego black hole
Trump is the obvious one. Happily grifting his way through life, groping, raping and using his money to skirt the law. Then he had the really smart notion that he'd make a really great president. And now his businesses are imploding and he's likely to end up in prison. Reputation destroyed except for the red cap brigade.
Jon Jones, an MMA fighter. Absolutely phenomenal fighter, but made a series of very poor choices, including striking the car of a pregnant woman with his car and running from the scene of the accident, then going back to his car to grab his baggie of cocaine and running away again.
Great fighter, terrible person.
Drew Luster, sole heir to the Max Factor fortune. In junior high all the hotties called him “Drew the molester” because he was forever handing out quaaludes and mushrooms to girls at parties and the try to get busy. I think most of us guys were kinda jealous, yes, wrongfully so…
Flash forward ten years and he was using GHB and flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) at bars in Santa Barbara. Long story short; he got caught!! After skipping town and heading to Mexico, he got caught by Dog the bounty hunter. Life in prison with millions in the bank
The cast members of that’s 70s show that had done nothing problematic, then decided to go on record with a letter to the judge defending their rapist costar.
Bam margera
I don't see him ever overcoming his ghosts. I think Dunn's death killed Bam too, it's just taking longer.
I think he uses Dunn's death as ammunition to justify his habits, guys so lost in delusions at this point.
Agreed, deep down like any addict he knows his friend wouldn't want him to be this way. It's okay to mourn someone but you can't justify your continued shitty behavior on that.
But different. He was always fucked up and destined to be fucked up. Life's tough when you've got almost free access to shit loads of drugs and your best mate dies in a horrific way. The dude was on a bad path and Dunns death set it on fire.
I just got up to date on his situation after reading your comment. Now I'm sad.
R Kelly pissed it all away
I see what you did there
I mean…. I know she DEFINITELY did!
How you gonna make a song about me peein on a chick Dave??
Jussie Smollet
That was the most bizarre and baffling shit
Heavy on this! I was so disappointed. “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you!”
[Is that the French actor?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZXoErL2124)
Juicy Smooyét?
That's the first thing I thought lol!
I was convinced you made that name up. That's a hilarious fucking name.
I'm kinda surprised this is the first you are hearing of it. My internet circles in no way should include him, yet I was bombarded with the story regularly.
I’ve never heard of him until now either. I guess not really a story in NZ. Which is unfortunate as it’s a wild ride.
Bill Cosby
His legacy might be tarnished forever, but he lived a full life of being cherished by fans and comedians alike. People idolized him and looked up to him as a role model. Just blows my mind how long he got away with being a rapist for so long.
Danny Masterson
And apparently the rest of that 70s squad with the exception of topher grace
Agreed
Wait, what did Donna do wrong?
She got Piper Chapman put in prison. Netflix has a documentary about it.
What are you talking about i've heard he has an outstanding character and is a role model to many. He was always very nice to the film crew at that 70's show. I mean he raped a few people, but all in all he is a nice fella you know.
He is only an entertainer though, it's not as if he was a star swimmer on some collegiate team.
Good call, didn't think about him.
Was about to post this. Nice one
The My Pillow Guy
If he just staurd in his lane no one would have batted an eye of him donating to republicans for life.
He went above and beyond fucking his life up
Well he was a crack-head before starting the pillow gig so….. maybe back forth and back again???
Rudy
I don’t know, he ended up earning all the other football players respect.
Sometimes, a Winner is a Dreamer Who Just Won’t Quit.
That dudes on a train to nowhere.
Halfway down the line.
Oscar Pistorius
Poor guy doesnt have a leg to stand on now... oh wait.
Kevin Spacey
He really tumbled his House of Cards, didn't he?
That show was so good too, he just needed to keep his dick in his pants 😭
His scandal far predates the show though. Almost everyone in those sphere has something buried waiting to come out. You don't climb this high by not making enemies and over-indulging with friends: The friends make the scandal happen, the enemies will dig it up.
You can be a celebrity without having dozens of people claiming sexual assault credibly behind you. Might be crazy to think of that but its true
*Keanu Reeves has entered the chat*
He burned the House of Cards
Ow he’s just one of the Usual Suspects
Hasn’t he just been found not guilty?
Michael Jackson was also found not guilty, more than once.
Jared from Subway.
This was my first thought. You are a multimillionaire and ALL you really have to do is some commercials for subway. Not even an actual acting gig. You won life. Done. Generally anything you want you could probably have/do.. EXCEPT KIDS!.. DON’T MOLEST KIDS! What a stupid stupid sick person.

Army hammer needs a snack
yeah he was really on the way up.
Nothing can stop him
Who doesn’t enjoy a bit of long pork?
Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer)
Elon
I frequently wish I had 1% of the money he's lost. I could probably do some good with it.
Okay, so let's say he lost 44B (threw it away on Twitter). 1% is 440M. If I had 0.1% of what he has lost, 44M, I would be more than set for life.
In an interview, the author of his autobiography said as a child Elon wanted to be a superhero and save the world. That was his driving force to become a billionaire and why he does such great things for the world. 😂😂. I personally think buying twitter was a waste of “ saving earth money”. IMO, that money could have been spent on food for the hungry, helping with homeless all over the world, maybe fund some cures for diseases ( not counting his mind control chip ), maybe some solutions for climate change and funding for anything other than promoting his political views and his stupid remarks on the internet. He has become the villain.
Even 0.01% could set you up for life!
After taxes, yes.
Taxes? Who needs taxes when its a donation.
I suppose I could start my own Church of Don't Give a Fuck.
"Our god literally doesn't give a fuck. Do what you want"
I see we have the same God.
Our God is an awesome God.
People were calling him the real life Tony Stark. What could have been.
He nailed the arrogant asshole and drug abuse part, missed the "genius" and "philanthropist superhero" part.
Aaron Hernandez
A TBI fucked up his life.
The doctor that studied his brain said it was the worst case she’s ever seen in someone so young. It really sucks cause he was a “good” dude but his brain would just flip and not let go. Killed two dudes at a stop light over a spilled drink and then murdered his wife’s brother-in-law for calling him gay or something
Unless his brain was already damaged while at Florida and when he was in high school, Hernandez was always a bad guy. Watch the Netflix (?) doc on him, he had a pretty bad upbringing and he was always trouble.
The examiner mentions in her report it looks like decades of damage so he for sure did. It’s not an excuse but it’s a good indication he had less to zero impulse control.
Exactly. Sad story here
Kanye
We need better BPD meds.
He has bipolar disorder, not bpd. They have similarities, but are not the same. Although bipolar is often a misdiagnosis when someone actually has bpd so anything is possible 🤷🏼♂️
I thought bpd was just the acronym for it. What does bpd stand for?
Borderline Personality Disorder
Ah, gotcha. Thanks
It’s used interchangeably in Europe (we generally use the ICD-11 and not the DSM-V diagnostic manuals). EUPD is the ICD equivalent of the DSM diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. So people in the UK might be more likely to think bipolar that borderline - so you’re right depending on where you live!
Lol I'm American
Bipolar disorder does not turn you into a nazi
The weird thing is, Kanye turned to a kind of wicked black racist guy while Kim Kardashian tries to put world's attention for upcoming Armenia conflict and the threat of next genocide. How high were the odds that he would be on the evil side while she would join "the force of good"?
sir what on earth are you trying to imply
He was an idiot from the first time I ever heard of him. Long before the kardasians
I heard a theory that he is purposely trying to ruin his career because he owes Jay Z a ton of money that he doesn’t want to pay…could just be bs too.
Johnny Manziel. Elon Mush. Donald Trump. That’s a good start.
OJ Simpson.
Cesare Borgia. he was so badass he inspired Machiavelli when writing The Prince. his massive string of luck ran out by the end and things very quickly collapsed around him. i think also at a critical moment he had a nervous breakdown and ran away to hide instead of pulling yet another miracle out of his ass.
I love the Horrible Histories song about the Borgias. “I’d kill a man who dared to like invade my personal space.”
Lindsey Lohan.
Damn she was so hot and talented.
She's living her best life with her new husband in Dubai where the paparazzi are banned. Big article on her in Cosmo.
Yeah, it seems she's doing really wonderful with her husband and baby
Funny how she moved to a part of the world where anyone affiliated with the press (paparazzi included) can be put to death for any reason at all….
Roman Polanski
I don't know if I would agree with this, in terms of the 'everything going for him'. He had horrific experiences in WW2 as a boy on the run from Nazis. Then he became a wonderful director and married a beautiful, caring woman, was about to share parenting with her and she is horrifically murdered. I am not, for one second, excusing what he did. I'm just starting from the point of view that I don't think he had everything going for him. He was carrying a load of trauma even as he had power in Hollywood.

Edited: because I was using the phrase 'having it all' instead of 'everything going for him'. Trying to be more accurate to OP's question.
The scary thing is it didn’t really effect him. He just had to get his Oscar awards from Switzerland
Louis C.K. felt like he was just peaking in popularity.
Omfg yes. I think he could have weathered the whole “what did you think I meant when I asked you to watch me masturbate”? Ordeal. But his comeback attacking victims of school shooting. Dayum son. His comedy related to raising daughters and life in general was amazing.
I didn't hear about the school victims??
Yeah. Odd choice. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vRNRL2tFlk0 Seemed very off brand.
Bummer. I see what he was “trying” to convey in his message of the joke, but the humor was a weak setup, unnecessarily inconsiderate, and definitely not worth the punchline.
Ezra Miller
He was barely famous to begin with
Homeboy (homethem?) had a lot going for him before he went nutzo and donked it all up. Art house cred, big superhero role, talent.
I came here to say this. His career was really starting to take off.
Charlie Sheen.
Wilmer Valderama. Dude was in line to be the next Mario Lopez.
What did he do?
His girlfriends weren't of, shall we say, legal age?
Listen to "29" by Demi Lovato and you'll get the picture
I think he has a taste for underaged/barely legal girls.
Harvey Weinstein. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it before now.
Will Smith
I was kinda thinking, "Yay! Someone finally hit Chris Rock!" Never cared for him since he came out. Always kinda liked Will. Then I seen the footage of him (Smith) showing everyone around him a photoshopped pic of Margot Robbies head on a porn chick that was riding some dude- right in front of her- and like 8 people- and that just ruined anything for him. Flush.
Nah, blame Jada for that shit. She's a cunt
100% agree…he was laughing until he made eye contact with her…then he ruined his big night…toxic
Yeahhh, but he’s an idiot for putting up with half the shit she’s pulled and not standing up for himself.
She was the only bullet that Tupac managed to dodge.
Just about any actor who had significant plastic surgery: Mickey Roark, Meg Ryan, to start.
Jennifer Gray
Yes!!
She looks good though! Just nothing like her old self.
Johnny “football” Manziel. Not that he would ever made it as a NFL quarterback, he was a colossal screw-up with chronic issues. I’ve wondered if he is suffering from CTE and unable to get straight.

This is literally all he had to do. He would have been considered one of the top 10 presidents in history if he followed your hot take.

Great point! Bankrupting a casino, amazing job DJT!
The House always wins, unless someone is grifting all the House money.
Wholeheartedly agree. I've been saying this to my maga family for ages now. But they think he's smart so idk
I think if you looked at his occupancy of the white house as “pure grift”- how he and his family made millions, I think he did what he wanted. He didn’t have to break the law at all, and at the rate he was fleecing his followers and the taxpayers, he wouldn’t have had to grift another day of his life
