Apologies Are In Order? 13 Celebrities Who Get More Hate Than They Deserve
To be a public figure isn¡¯t all fun and games. While there¡¯s obviously the undeniable financial requisite, many of the celebrities have to deal with extremities that can really affect their mental well-being. They might have a larger than life lifestyle but the constant scrutiny that they are under can be very exhausting. Imagine every move of yours being watched and dissected on the internet for days on end, sounds pretty upsetting, right?
To be a public figure isn¡¯t all fun and games. While there¡¯s obviously the undeniable financial requisite, many of the celebrities have to deal with extremities that can really affect their mental well-being. They might have a larger than life lifestyle but the constant scrutiny that they are under can be very exhausting. Imagine every move of yours being watched and dissected on the internet for days on end, sounds pretty horrifying, right?
Some of these popular figures have to face the ire of the public for the most bizarre reasons. Let¡¯s take a look at 13 celebs who receive more hate than they actually deserve.
1. Britney Spears
Pop sensation Britney Spears' life was made into a debacle in the 2000s where media and fans defined her as problematic and arrogant. Little did anyone know that she was silently battling her own demons. Details of her 13-year conservatorship and the docu series Framing Britney sheds light on why she went spiralling out of control. Many fans and celebs have come out and apologized for passing judgements on her without knowing her real story.
2. Kristen Stewart
Ever since her stint in the Twilight series, Stewart has been constantly trolled for her lack of expressions and flat acting skills. While Bella Swan, the character that she played was said to be dull, she has proved time and again that she possesses impeccable acting skills which the world got to witness in her recent films. Of course, her big revelation of cheating on her then beau Robert Pattinson aggravated the hate. Despite all of this, it's high time that everyone moves on.
3. Monica Lewinsky
Then president of the United States Of America Bill Clinton became the eye of the storm when news of his scandalous affair with intern Monica Lewinsky broke. She was called all kinds of names and was deemed as a home wrecker. However, Clinton did not receive the same amount of flak like she did. What¡¯s more, even the scandal was named after her. Over the years, Monica became a butt of jokes but she didn¡¯t deserve such extreme hatred because there were two people in that affair.
4. Anne Hathaway
If you are surprised to see this name on the list, believe me you are not alone. There was a time when a large group spread all kinds of hate about the Devil Wears Prada actress. The reasons remain unknown till date. Was it because of the shoddy job she did of hosting the Oscars with James Franco or was it because her ex-boyfriend was indicted on fraud and money laundering charges? The mystery still stands unsolved.
5. Meghan Markle
The choti bahu as the desis call her, did the unthinkable when she and her beloved husband, Prince Harry decided to part ways and take a step back from the Royal duties. This move brought her a lot of hatred as people even went on to blame her for tearing the family apart. She then faced the ire of the public, when she did a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey describing her ordeal of living in the Royal palace and experiencing a toxic and hostile environment. Whatever happened to living as per her own will!
6. Taylor Swift
People went ahead and dissected her career by saying that she didn¡¯t deserve fame or success as her songs are only based on her own heartbreaks. Even though many artists create songs on the basis of their own experience, when she did the same she was called all sorts of names.
7. Justin Bieber
Agreed that he doesn¡¯t have the best reputation and he did some questionable deeds in his early days but the hatred that he gets is unreasonable. Firstly, he was massively trolled for his voice. Some called it girly, others wrote him off for good. He didn¡¯t help his cause as he frequently mistreated his fans and had run-ins with the law.
However, it would have been better if people had cut him some slack. Not only did he rocketed to fame at a young age, he was also made to deal with the ramifications in a very harsh manner. Since then, he has reformed tremendously and has been charitable towards many causes. Even his behaviour has improved ten-fold.
8. Rhea Chakraborty
The ill-fated actress had to bear the brunt of her boyfriend¡¯s suicide. So much so that her character was assassinated and her family was vilified without any proof of her involvement in Sushant Singh Rajput¡¯s case. The entire country turned against the woman and convicted her of the crime without any evidence. Forget her career, even her mental health took a big fall as she had to remain in custody for almost 2 months. As the case still remains unsolved, the lady in question is trying to collect the fragments of her life to experience normalcy after such a horrifying time.
9. Anushka Sharma
A stellar actress who has a knack for good content, Anushka Sharma was everyone¡¯s favourite until she married Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli. To her dismay, she got the biggest shock when she received hatred when India lost a crucial match. People blamed her for ¡®distracting¡¯ Kohli. Some even went ahead and urged the cricket board to ban her from attending any games in the future. If this doesn¡¯t define obnoxious behaviour then I don¡¯t know what will!
10. Sunny Leone
She made waves with her stint in Bigg Boss. Right from the beginning, she openly spoke about her career choice of doing porn films in the West. Still people trolled her mercilessly and blamed her for spoiling the minds of the youth. She was called names and treated with so much disrespect by interviewers and the general public alike. She still braved the storm and maintained a cool approach and gradually shed the image of a pornstar to become a part of the showbiz.
11. Abhishek Bachchan
To no fault of his own, Junior Bachchan has been brutally trolled for being the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan¡¯s son. All nepotism chatter aside, people even lashed out at him for not becoming as successful as his father! Some shameless trolls on the internet keep discrediting his work and taunt him on his unsuccessful attempts. Many others question his earnings and call him ¡®lucky¡¯ for having a super successful father and wife Aishwarya Rai by his side. Abhishek Bachchan keeps a cool head most times and gives it back to them with witty responses.
12. Swara Bhasker
Such is our society that celebs are trolled for not having an opinion on social affairs and then again for having certain opinions on the same. Bhasker is often trolled for her political views. So much so that she is called all sorts of demeaning names. For her bold masturbation scene in Veere Di Wedding, she is still trolled for choosing to do something out-of-the-box.
13. Sonam Kapoor
Sonam is one actress who constantly makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. Foot-in-the-mouth situations were a regular occurrence for Sonam when she had started her career. Over the years, she has learned the art of diplomacy. From being a star¡¯s daughter to her fashion sense, people troll her for anything and everything. Some even question her acting prowess. Interestingly, Sonam takes all of this with a pinch of salt and has often laughed it off but it¡¯s high time people let her be.
