Fire the narrator
What about PIZZAGATE
the snitching is real on this list lol
So many icons of the past escaped their names being destroyed: Carrie Underwood - Ghost Story (Alternate Version)
Could have made a mini list of all the celebrities killing people while driving and getting away with it.
Bruno Mars busted for narcotics in Las Vegas? Well imagine my shock 😂
Nine scandals and one common occurrence would be more accurate. Musician arrested for possession of drugs. Lol
@@geoffreystephens3074 But Bruno Mars has a squeaky clean image though. Even that might seem odd to some people.
@@hetaljoshi9816 he has at least a half dozen songs with obvious references to cocaine use.
@@aemxo I think his upbeat melodies confuse people that aren't listening to his lyrics
I don't understand how Ben Affleck's family tree is something that needs to be brought up lmao, how tf is it his fault that his ancestor owned slaves lmao. Clearly he didn't want any affiliation nor have the public eye think of that every time they'd see him. So ridiculous and shouldn't be considered a scandal.
Seriously that's what I thought. You can't control what your ancestors did, none of us can. All you can do is learn from it and never repeat it. I mean the fact that they went from owning slaves to fighting for their rights trying kinda shows you that you know they kind of learned from their mistakes down the line. I'm also confused as to how this was number one
Him and j lo literally got married at his family’s plantation house 🙄 but continue to “lmao”…but 1) bet YOU ARE ✋ 2) doubt that it would be funny if it was a nazi history…but HAVE THE DAY AND LIFE YOU DESERVE…
Right?! My ancestors were Mormon polygamist in the 1800's. Doesn't mean I'm Mormon, or polygamist.
@JesusLovesYou and cancel culture
It's not about his ancestors doing something. It's about Affleck pressuring the show and company to not post a portion of the story.
But I get where you're coming from. It was a low blow
I thought Mae West was going to be about her black lover which wasn’t allowed into her apartment building at the time so she bought the apartment building and let him in as he pleased, lol.
Really??? Lmaoo boss moves!!
Id def throw Mae West the 🐍
you think we've never heard of the letterman scandal when he 1. announced it on his own show & 2. it was all over the news
Not to mention that he's made it several times on a mojo top list for that very public announcement sing with Matthew Broderick the whole entire celebrities killed somebody list. Sometimes I feel like they just run out of ideas and just draw a topic out of a hat whether it makes sense or not. Their pothole ones drive me crazy, they're not potholes.
So many icons of the past escaped their names being destroyed, simply by committing their acts before the social media age.
That's basically what this list of. A list of scandals from huge celebs that happened before social media. I don't think this video is appropriately titled at all.
@@Jonuh especially with #1 basically insinuating that your ancestor from generations ago being a bad person is worse than killing two women in a car accident.
it's not just the pre-social media age, it's that the police REALLY didn't give a F- about people, unless the victim of a crime was important.
@@Headstash1080 an accident.
I actually found out about Mathew Broderick’s accident through Family Guy.
Peter Griffin[After crashing the car over other cars]: “Wow, this is just like what happened to Mathew Broderick. ‘Cept no one’s dead.”
Me too lol
legit just watched that episode before seeing this lmao
I thought it’s a joke. I didn’t know it till year later
@@hunteradams2123 Family Guy actually TAUGHT me something; who would’ve thought the day would come?
How is Ben Affleck number 1 on this list for something he didn't do😂
Because he used his influence to make sure that the producers of the show didn't air the part about his slave owner ancestor.
@@cdonorab who cares we are not to blame for what our anchestors done it is not like we was there so who cares
I think it's #1 because it's the least known "scandal" of the list.
@@emilineharris3724 yeah makes sense
Because (heavy sarcasm incoming) all white people are obviously evil. 🤣
Every one of these are pretty well documented and known. here's one you missed because it's actually obscure. Victor Salva is a director who filmed him self sexually assaulting a 13 year old actor on the set of one of his movies. He took a plea deal and got 3 years and only served 15 months. when he got out they continue to give him work. He directed Powder and the Jeepers Creepers films.
Not anymore, after the 3rd Jeepers creepers film, he initially was going to make the 4th film. But since Jeepers Creepers Reborn is a reboot, he won’t appear. To which I say good move and good riddance!
Read something on the Guardian about this the other week, was genuinely stunned he had worked again 🤷♂️
Nathan Forrest Winters was 12
Heard about this but not the specifics.
A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THAT SHERLOCK
Sounds more like Mae West was just way ahead of her time. 🧏🏿♂️
I wish we could teach LGBT history in our schools like we do black history, at least 7th grade and up. I wish we could teach _any good history_ - truthful, non-corporate, beneficial, etc - in a way that makes kids _want_ to do research.
@@chrisrj9871 LGBT history and black history aren't the same thing, friend
They shouldn't be compared
@@chrisrj9871 Obviously not the same history. But they were/are both marginalized groups whose truth isn't being told in this and many other countries. The same can be said for Native Americans, women, Jews, Asians, Hispanics...
@@suzannemilligan8648 careful, some geniuses on here are going to accuse you of being "woke" 🙄
@@freya8133 Let em.
9 scandals that celebrities had control over and one scandal that is completely beyond his control unless he builds a time machine.
As if Affleck is responsible for the sins of his forefathers? That mentality has to stop. Ben doesn't own slaves. That far back it may as well have been a stranger.
I thought the same thing...
Totally agree!
I thought so too, like what the hell really
It's just a means to political power. They don't actually care about any of the horrible things that happened in the past, they're just trying to use collective guilt to control you so they can commit horrible crimes in the present.
Exacty, but you know MUCH of a islamophile he is!
Correction,
People don't go to prison for only 10 day's
That would be called jail
Blacks are the biggest perverts
That Matthew Broderick one is a damn shame no one knows or cares, I only know he has kept his record clean since. But I understand the family's anger at the sentencing.
Why not talk about Russel Crow hitting a woman?
I'm always surprised more people don't go postal
Agree, I was really shocked to hear about that scandal!🙁
Was he intoxicated?
I knew about it before I watched this video, because there's a Facebook page dedicated to it.
@@brianpeppers8236 Russell Crowe or Matthew Broderick?
What about Christopher walken knowing that Robert Wagner probably killed Natalie Woods on that boat? What about Robert Wagner likely killing Natalie Woods?! How do they keep acting with those kinds of deeds?!
It's cuz Walken always knows a guy...
People need to stop apologizing for shit that went down over 150 years ago. It's insane!
Pretty soon they won’t need to with the way the world is going everything is going to be erased that hurt peoples feelings…but then again that’s America..reading text books when you were in school wasn’t even real history, it’s fabricated for our fragile brains to be able to comprehend. But now our kids are being force fed shit they shouldn’t deal with till they are adults.
150 years is a short time and African Americans are still feeling the repercussions of broken families, unequal pay and discrimination today due to slavery so STFU. Would you tell the Jewish community to forget about the holocaust?
Oh noooo his ancestor was a slave owner?! That is all on him! Damn Affleck, how could you?!
exactly my reaction. WokeMojo became very weird
I don't think the scandal is that Affleck had a relative that was a slaveowner, it was that he used his celebrity to conceal it. He could have used it to teach a great story - "My ancestor was a slave owner, while my Mother was a Civil rights activist. How great is that and it shows how a family can grow and change across generations". Instead HE was the WOKE one. He was worried that this revelation would somehow damage his reputation as a progressive and he pressured the show to censor it. THAT's the scandal.
Not only that, they put it at #1. So having ancestors that did naughty things is worse than killing 2 people. Dear Lord this woke stuff has gotten out of control.
...... are y'all really that dumb??? The problem was he wanted it to be hidden, not the fact that his ancestors owned slaves.
+MantraHerbInchSin - Yes, what a shocker. Let's all ban Affleck's movies until he builds a time machine, goes back 6 freaking generations, and shoots his ancestor dead!
You literally cant go anywhere online that's talking about Matthew Broderick that isn't bringing up the tragic incident. It's become a meme at this point, which is obnoxiously sad for the memory of those lost.
Everyone should know by now that David O'Russel is a monster...
And overrated!!! The Fighter was good but the rest mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It's sad that Ben Affleck felt the need to cover up something one of his ancestors did, due to fear of getting called out and canceled or whatever.
I honestly don't blame him
Present generations are NOT responsible for the actions of their ancestors!
I'm more offended by him being a Redsox fan than anything his ancestors did.
@@markzuckergecko621 Like that's a thing!
@@markzuckergecko621 He had to be talked into wearing a Yankees cap for the movie Gone Girl.
Who hasn't heard of Matthew Brodericks car accident? I still see people talking about this today.
So they should.
I was today years old when I've known about this! 🤪
I'm a 30 something Irish person and I only heard about that a couple of years ago.
I’m getting tired of famous people getting a slap on the wrist whenever they do something horrible.
And it’ll only get worse. We live in such a stupid and naive world.
-
I bet if he was a non-famous person like us he would have gotten life/death, and hate from around the world since it’ll be on anything you can think of.
Me
How can you say letterman was something we never heard of it was the top news story for weeks and he came out on a national and worldwide TV show.
I'm Australian. It even made the news over here!
We all know about Charlie Chaplin and Una, the young daughter of award winning playwright Eugene O'Neill. The terrible result? Award winning actress, Geraldine Chaplin.
Una's dad hates Chaplin because he was English, not because he was older.
"Still, this story has largely been forgotten. " Lana Turner died in 1995. If the narrator of this time filler was aware of Turner before seeing the script, I am shocked.
Another one is the guy who played Mr. Moesby on Suite Life went to prison for a few years over 2 counts of vehicular manslaughter but I suppose that was before he got famous. Maybe Tim Allen being found with multiple kilos of cocaine at an airport is better as he was a rising star and didn’t even land his most famous role of the star of Home Improvement yet. It’s wild what people forget about.
Tim Allen was up front and honest about his cocaine conviction, he credited the judge for telling him to earn a legitimate living in comedy.
i never understood how the ben afflack one even became a scandal. the guy was obviously upset to find out that his ancestors were slave owners, probably couldnt process it and feel comfortable with it being publicly know.
oh the horror!!! how dare ben??? /s
I mean, I'd be embarrassed about it too. And wouldn't want it made public, either.
The Affleck one is absolutely absurd, it's just like that episode in the newest season of Atlanta
That little boy in the Chaplin clip is Jackie Coogan, who played Uncle Fester in "The Addams Family" TV series!
David O. Russell’s PR team works round the clock to keep all of his abusive acts under wraps. Every day he goes to work, he’s constantly abusive.
Yet, because he’s a director and not an actor, no one really cares, so abusive behavior from directors is normalized. And it makes for awful set experiences that go unreported and see them praised as “geniuses”.
It’s more rampant than you all realize.
For the last scandal, just because one of your ancestors is bad, doesn't mean you're bad too, as long you don't follow in their footsteps
agreed, never understood the big deal about this. has nothing to do with the person here and now.
@@taradiane unless their ancestor had some kind of mental illness that made them bad, then yeah
If I remember correctly, Bruno Mars was paid to make school appearances right before his arrest. After his arrest the schools wanted to cancel. Bruno's people had no problem with this but did have issue with giving the money back.
Did you just give Bruno Mars credit for Uptown Funk? 🤣🤣😂
Even though he didn't write it he did sing it and is synonymous with the song. Beyonce didn't write single ladies but she gets the credit for singing it.
@@akshayramdaw9003 lol okay 🤷♂️
Love mae West. She was so far ahead of her time and bold. She's a true icon!
She was also insanely jealous of anyone younger and hotter than her.
@@freya8133 well when your entire worth as a woman has to be tied to how desirable you are it’s not uncommon
I think Mae West was AMAZING! She always had the best one liner's!
I think it would be cool if someone did Mae West a solid by making a production of her work "The Drag". It would suit current times perfectly.
“Good sex is like good bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand” ~ Mae West
I'd hate to be Matthew Broderick who innocently turns on YT and sees that thumbnail.
Like seriously that’s super insensitive to all parties but you know, click bait works
I'm saying this despite the fact that my wedding song was "Falling in love with you" by Elvis Presley. I don't think it was considered a scandal which is why it didn't make the list, but this is something I had thought about by watching this video because I remember hearing about this years ago on another video. Based on the type of women that Elvis Presley actually dated which actually were not women but were girls who were you know teenagers, he would have been charged for pedophilia.
The same is true for a vast majority of “men” throughout history and to this very day sadly. But women are looked down upon still, makes no sense.
To add, he stole many Black people's works and never paid them a cent since copyright laws didn't protect Black people's music. "Hound Dog" is an example of that. He took the title of "King of Rock and Roll" without ever thanking those who originated it.
the definition of "scandal" requires that the general public knows about it
No it doesn't
if we did the crimes listed we'd be in prison and not a watchmojo list
How much did Mark Wahlberg pay you guys to stay off this list?
good one! they probably couldn't make room for Wahlberg's assault on the Asian fella to get in that hot, hot Mae West news!
Ferris Bueller's day off will forever be iconic
So? He killed 2 people.
@@V4Now so? it was an enjoyable movie
@@V4Now - it was an accident as noted.
@@V4Now Brandy, Rebecca Gayheart, and Caitlyn Jenner also have the distinction of committing vehicular homicide.
Yes
The unfortunate incident with Broderick, I knew of. I SEEM to remember Howard Stern obtained Mr. Broderick's number and left a phone message consisting of crash sound effects. I rather hope this didn't actually happen.
Sounds like something Howard stern would do
That’s awful. It’s already so hard to deal with, why make it worse.
No it didn’t! Howard might be an asshole sometimes but he’s not heartless! He and Matthew Broderick have been friends for years. Howard is also friends with Matthew’s wife Sarah Jessica Parker. Howard would be insulted if he heard this
hey now
@@disturbedpyro4511 The same Howard Stern who called the Air Florida airline's reservation service and tried to price a plane ticket from Washington DC National Airport to the Potomac River. He did this a day or after Air Florida Flight 90 took of from National Airport and due to weather conditions crashed into the Potomac with 74 passengers and five crew members.
Haha Affleck being held accountable for some dude 6 generations before him that he had no idea existed. Not to mention this ancestry trace crap is about as unreliable as it can be.
The last sentence isn't quite true.
How can it be unreliable? There are documents upon documents that can trace many of us to our ancestors. I can trace my great grandfather to Ellis Island in 1888 and from there to the Austro-Hungarian empire and I'm not even a genealogist!
I think Dave Chappelle said it best, Pacquiao is not your champion. He is from a country that does not like the LGBT community. His people love him and that's all that matters to him. It's like expecting people from Iran to agree with the views of Mike Tyson or that he would really care. I don't agree with Pacquiao's views but It's understandable given where he is from.
Yall funny as hell if you think Bruno mars isn’t still sniffing nose candy
He actually seems like such the nice guy type tho. I mean, he could still be nice. I just meant, he doesn't seem idk. Pointlessly viscious and absent minded, I guess.
12 minutes of my life I'll never get back
Hi Kirsten love your voice 😍
Top ten actors you might never have heard of. Top ten less known actors from TV shows.
Love Chuck Berry's "home movies"
the thing with ancestors is that it affects the whole family, maybe affllecks parent brother or others did not want the information told
# 3 crazy!
It's not exactly shocking someone in the music industry got caught with drugs 😂
Spoiler Alert:
They actually put Ben Afflecks' ancestors owning of slaves at #1. Wtf.
Don't you love it.
Busted with drugs, a few grand paid, few hours of community service and walk away without a record....
Now, of a poor unfamous guy got busted? Max security prison for 10 years.
wow, you guys didn't really pick scandals as obscure as you thought, the only ones I didn't know about were Lana Turner and Mae West, tons of news stories for quite a few of your picks.
Musician with a narcotics charge ?
Oh no, say it ain't so.
😂😂😂
I haven't heard of Jennifer Grey for many years but I find people more respectful when, particularly talking about trauma, list other people before themselves.
She was in Dirty Dancing.
Right now Shakira is facing tax issues which may land her in prison. Wesley Snipes and Lauryn Hill both went to jail for the same thing. But what people forget is Sophia Loren was also found guilty of tax evasion in 1982. She spent seventeen days in an Italian jail and then was released on house arrest. She fought the charges and finally had them overturned in 2013.
Arsed.
We heard about these the first 3 times you put them in a list…
I don't understand why he would try and censor the fact that once of his ancestors was a slave owner. Nobody would've blamed him for that, that's probably something that occurs more often than not if you go back that far
You have to look at it the way he probably would. _You_ think "...Nobody would've blamed him...", but he's the kind of person that _does_ hold people responsible for their ancestors. So he would expect everyone to apply that thinking to him...
I never knew about these.
If Broderick's accident was "an accident" -- no dui, etc. -- then it isn't a "travesty of justice." Accidents happen. Not all are criminal incidents, regardless of consequence.
It was just an accident. He wasn't speeding, drunk or anything like that. It was raining heavily, and the car hit a deep patch of water, then aquaplaned onto the wrong side of the road. The whole thing was witnessed by a police officer who was driving not far behind him. No one was at fault
Oh no!!!! Manny said words that hurt people's feelings!!! Waaaaaaaahhhh 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
narcotics in vegas, oh man how could anybody? the most innocent of lands, how could anybody?
most of these scandals I've heard about but could see them being under the radar of most people, but Dave's everyone heard about I remember watching the episode when he came out and admitted to it and the chris rock episode that rock roasted him about it lol.
The current environment where people are cancelled because of their ancestry is idiotic.
Actually people have been canceled for the ancestry since the beginning of civilization. Your notion that people are canceled for the actions of their forbears currently.....Could you give actual examples? The Affleck non- affair generated talk and little else. What amused me at the time was said ancestor BOUGHT the slave, not for himself but as an agent for someone else. Still a morally indefensible act (currently).
The reason why Ben afleck thing is a bug deal because when he found who his ancestors were he had the episode pulled and got the show canceled
That short lady standing next to Bruno Mars was like 7"'s taller than him 😆
I heard about the Broderick one from Horror Stories
I would put Stone Cold’s 2002 IRL arrest after he walked out on WWF as a honorable mention since I think this is one that everybody that isn’t super fans of WWE dosen’t seem to know about this
Surprised Sean Penn isn't on here
Bruno learned to follow Chris Carter's advice to NFL rookies: "Have one of your boys carry, duh."
That is ABSOLUTELY pathetic. Who the hell cares if his grandfather on him moms side 6 generations back had slaves. You all do realize thats the mid-late 1800s right? He had absolutely nothing to do with that and the fact that people would even talk crap or hate on him for something he wasn't even remotely alive for in a completely different time is just disgusting
I'm so sick of people expecting everyone to watch what they say or do in order to not hurt your feels. They are YOUR damn feelings deal with them. And stop getting upset for other people that you have nothing to do with. Everyone is just walking around now pointing fingers yelling your hurt so and so's feelings. Well too damn bad!
imagine 6 generations ago one of your "relatives" did something horrible, it don't matter if someone from my own generation did something horrible, it doesn't define me, let alone 6 generations ago, how stupid.
How is no one talking about jason baboa apparently being a time lord and lost a lot of weight @5:49 😂😂😂
Bruno Mars' arrest is known for awhile, not today
What can anyone do upon discovering that their forebears were slave owners? I only found out recently that my ancestors four generations back owned slaves. I was shocked, horrified and felt helpless to do anything substantive to atone for my family history.
I had about four on my mother's side . They were a-🕳️s. That's all there is to say.
who cares that is why it is called history we are not responable for what our anchestors did and the times they lived in like i do not go around blaming all european people for what their family did when they wiped out millions of native american tribes when they came over here
You could make a dozen of these videos!
Wow scandals, I say yes crazy but it’s just imperfect humans making life mistakes and i guess it’s good to know what NOT to do lol😂
I NEVER HEARD OF SOME OF THESE SCANDALS!
Top Ten Funniest Scandals
if the rebecca sugar ed edd and eddy porn scandal isn't on that list i will scream
I heard of 4 of these already.
The Ben Affleck one was the only one I wasn’t aware of previously. But honestly who cares his ancestry owned slaves. It wasn’t like he was alive or even a thought in his ancestors mind. It wasn’t like he could of told the ancestor hey that’s not cool, let your slaves be free. I understand being embarrassed over their actions but it’s absolutely ridiculous to try and hide it. No one in their right mind would judge him for his 200 years separated relatives who were slave owners. I think he was ridiculous for trying to make the show producers cut that portion out of the telecast. I would understand if it was his parents that owned slaves but it wasn’t.
Wasn't the Lana Turner thing touched on, albeit in a fictional manner, in LA Confidential? As for the Ben Affleck family history bit: Who'd care? How many of us might have ancestors whom we are not proud of? Or who did unsavory things in 1755 or 1830 or whenever?
Gosh! A pop singer arrested for dope! Wow!!!!!
Well, Affleck is right to be embaressed by such family history, but it's hardly a scandel. I'm sure a large number of American's, particularly those who trace their roots back to the earliest colonists can find such dispicable ancestors in their past. Then again, every single person alive today statistically is decended from rapists, murderors, slave owners and slave sellers if you go far enough back in time. The only question is, do we know that ancestors name or has it been lost to history?
*Spoilers:*
Feels like Charlie Chaplin's scandal should be #1 instead of Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck was NOT the slave-owner from several generations back.
Even though it pretty much just happened add Brett Favre to the list. His scandal is already being swept under the rug.
Matthew and Chaplin ,,,can't believe the Queen still knighted Chaplin,,,,but in general these 2 people are still accepted in Hollywood is insane
idea best second character on TV of all time
Everyone seemed to forget that Brandy killed a woman.
“The 27-year-old actress-singer (full name: Brandy Norwood) was driving a 2007 Land Rover on the 405 Freeway on Dec. 30, when the collision occurred. She failed to slow down and struck the back of a 2005 Honda at about 65 mph, according to a California Highway Patrol report.”
good list, wack order tho
If you are the type of person that lives for these kind of hardships and low points in peoples lives, you need too take a break. You need too take a break and go take a look out your back door, because your backyard just might need a little cleaning too.
Just wanted to point out that what Charlie Chaplin was doing with “underage” girls was legal back then as it was common practice for states to exempt people from statutory rape laws if they where legally married to the minor and as far as I know all of Chaplin’s underage marranges were legal. More recently some states have bared all teen marriages but some statues still allow teen/adult marriages and they also generally exempt sex within said marriages from statutory rape laws. This is largely why Chaplin’s fondness for underage teen girls didn’t attract the same attention it would these days as the attitudes and laws have since changed in many parts of the country.
If your family has been in the US for over 200 years, there's a damn good chance that you're related to someone who owned slaves or benefited from the slave trade. There's also a damn good chance that you're related to an abolitionist. Why are we constantly looking for the bad stuff instead of the good stuff?
This channel acts like we are from another time zone. I know about all these AND MORE.
I knew about the Bruno mars thing who u think he got his stuff from 🤫🤫🤫🤫 not talking about me talking about A friend 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about Jerry Seinfeld dating a high school girl during the height of his TV show? I'm sure he was in his 40s.
David Letterman in a scandal? OMG 😳😳😳!!!!
didnt the actor Phil Lewis (Mr. Moseby) kill someone with car in 1991
