Nah, post-meat coma Jorps is unfortunately stronger than ever and continuing to grow his audience while ranting about lobsters and rats and the sexual politics of Disney movies like a loving coked out wacko. If he'd died thanks to meat coma, it would have been his career ender moment, but alas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUo4pe5eMbY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx1pQiETQm4 The whole Witness era was a disaster, but the SNL performances were the real killer. I don't mind an unusual avant garde performance by a pop star. In fact I prefer it, playing it safe is boring! But this was just trend-chasing and sloppy. Katy Perry's career never really recovered after that. I hear she's prepping for a comeback, so maybe I'm wrong!

To be fair she already reached the absolute top of worldwide stardom and was there for a decade and made like $300 million. At that point she could basically make armpit noises and she'd still be bulletproof and nothing she could do would matter anyways because what's another hundred million gonna do? Might as well just do some goofy poo poo or whatever you want and who cares what anyone thinks, your "downfall" will never actually see you hit the ground no matter what you put out

CM Punk had just reclaimed the AEW World Championship in his home town of Chicago on September 4, 2022. Shortly afterwards, at the media scrum, he attacked various people who also worked for All Elite Wrestling, including the Executive Vice Presidents. Now, when I say “attacked”, I mean verbally…for the most part. After the media scrum, Punk and his friend Ace Steel got into a legitimate backstage brawl with said Executive Vice Presidents. Now, normally that would be the moment when a wrestler’s career would be over. It wasn’t. This past June, All Elite Wrestling launched a new weekly show pretty much so CM Punk could still wrestle for AEW without running into the various wrestlers he hates so Punk’s feelings wouldn’t get hurt. Punk lasted TWO MONTHS before another backstage brawl broke out between him and the son of Luke Perry (also a wrestler), which resulted in him being fired from AEW. Over the past 24 hours, WWE (for whom CM Punk wrestled for until another dramatic exit 10 years ago, albeit one where Punk was right) made it known they were not interested in hiring him.

https://slate.com/culture/2019/08/katy-perry-sexual-harassment-teenage-dream.html She also has an exhaustive legacy of kissing, groping, and just generally sexualizing the hell out of teenagers. She did it to Sean Mendes, she did it to an American Idol contestant, she did it on a talk show. Here's a classic example of her doing it to Bo Burnham. He handles it really well IMO but you can tell it was extremely uncomfortable. She and Brand were really perfect for each other, can't believe it didn't work for them. Here's what she had to say when she was called out for trying to kiss a Russian talk show host without consent: Katy Perry posted:I don’t want to say ‘guilty until proven innocent’ but there’s no checks and balances: A headline just flies, right? And there’s no investigation of what it is. I don’t want to add to the noise. I want to add to the truth, basically. I don’t comment on all the things that are said about me because if I chase that dragon, it would be about true and false-ing my whole life. It’s distracting from the real movement. The "movement" in question was #metoo. Huge piece of poo poo. Huge. Modal Auxiliary fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Oct 11, 2023 |

I'm playing catch-upSidneyIsTheKiller posted:I'm always baffled that there was apparently no way to signal to whoever does these things to simply stop the track and play the correct one, or any contingency plan for this kind of situation. She blames the band but it was probably something or someone off stage that loaded the wrong track. Her just freezing and doing ....whatever that dance was is likely what got her blacklisted. It's one thing to have technical difficulties on stage but you recover. Once she did the dance and left stage it was over. That was the equivalent of a child pissing their pants at a school recital. syntaxfunction posted:Counterpoint: Seinfeld already ended, so his career was already over. I remember some jokes at the time that a new season of Seinfeld was released on DVD and Jerry wanted Richards to speak up in case it harmed sales. Bluemillion posted:There's an alternate timeline where he decided against the helmet and sustained a life altering traumatic brain injury from that fall. This is 6 out of every 10 wrestlers. YeahTubaMike posted:This is my first time hearing about it, and it seems oddly...anti-smug? I don't even know how to describe it. It's like, a move ostensibly meant to be humble that ended up coming back around to being smug. I'm as impressed as I am confused. To me this comes off as saying the writers gave her scripts that were badly written. Imagine being a writer and getting your lead an Emmy nod, only to have them refuse and list the quality of your work as the sole reason for doing so. Pretty sure having an Emmy nominated script helps your career but not when the talent poo poo on it. BATS FLY AT MOON posted:Speaking of Cheers, Kirstie Alley pulled a Gina Carano and went full MAGA too until she croaked. She was full blown Scientology before that. This show didn't help her career either. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118506/ Jennifer Grey who starred in Dirty Dancing and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, got a nose job which made her unrecognizable. Rob Lowe was caught having a threesome at the DNC with an underage girl and all on video. I remember the fuzzy, pixelated images on the nightly news and Entertainment Tonight.

Troy Duffy, and I don't think he ever was "in Hollywood" so much as his ego immediately flared up and got him badmouthing all these random Hollywood stars. He applied for the job of famous director, but was rejected.

Michael Madsen in the early 90s had a lot of heat after Reservoir Dogs & Thelma & Louise but opted to play Virgil Earp rather than Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, & while Travolta got an Oscar nomination & a career second wind, Madsen had a whole lotta nothing until Kill Bill 2, then back to obscurity. Especially ridiculous as the part was written for Madsen & turning it down soured his relationship with Tarantino for years, not great to do with the director who knows exactly how to use him.

Bringing up Kill Bill reminds me of Vivica A. Fox and how she was in the loving Cool Cat movie, which seems like it totally didn't end her career at all thankfully.

They’re definitely appreciated now (check out their song with Beyoncé if you haven’t, it’s called Daddy Lessons, it rules) but for the few years after they made that comment, they were persona non grata in the country music world. In the long run I don’t think it hurt their legacy, but it probably impacted their bank account for a bit.

Michael Cimino went from Oscar winner to Razzie winner in three years due to Heaven’s Gate. The 1980 western movie, not the 1990s UFO cult. Prior to this, Cimino was an acclaimed film director who won Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for The Deer Hunter. His follow-up movie, Heaven’s Gate, went four times over budget due to his quirks and demands. It was also originally four hours long and featured scenes where horses were abused or, in one case, killed by explosives. Heaven’s Gate effectively killed Cimino’s career. He only directed four more feature-length films after this.

I find a lot of sneering at bands that aren't as successful as they were a little misguided (not that that's The Chick's case as they were blackballed), but I remember some people sneering at the likes of MGMT who wrote one of the last superhits I can think of, or Carly Rae Jepsen who didn't become a stadium filler, but does really well at a smaller level with more freedom. I see Devo get some one-hit-wonder flack too while they more of a going concern that had a breakout hit.
