Rosanne Barr making such bad racist and Q-Anon posts online that they killed off her character off-screen in a then career reviving series that bore her name and going on without her entirely.

This one is pretty disappointing. Tara Strong has done a lot of great and weird work and it's a shame she's continually jumping off the deep end. I hope she gets the help she deserves.

Did we already mention the Dan Rather/GW Bush letter that more or less ended his long and respected career probably not only a bit earlier but more completely than it should have?

Long story short: Rather went to news with unproven documents against then-President Bush. Backlash was pretty severe when that came out a lot of people have pretty much said that's why he wasn't kept on when his contract was up.

Charlie Sheen was the lead in a super popular hit sitcom, then decided to go on a coke bender and piss it all away. I'm not sure if the following is true, but I heard it's because he contracted AIDS and that caused him to go insane.

I saw "Gucci" in the theaters. My reaction was that it wasn't bad, but I wondered who the gigantic ham they got to play Pablo Gucci was.

Looked it up and it was Leto in a fat suit and bald cap. I had no idea.

He did a fun "angry old man Santa" movie with Walton Goggins a few years ago. I enjoyed it. Pity about the racist gently caress playing Santa though.

Certainly the point when he was so racist that newspapers just dropped him en mass should be considered the purview of this thread.

Josh Trank was on the rise and given the Fantastic Four movie, which was going to be the start of a new franchise and potentially cross over with the X-Men.

Instead he went nuts, his dogs destroyed the house he was renting, and never showed up to direct which had the writer step in and do it while Trank still received credit. He claimed studio interference messed with the movie to explain why it was so bad but the scenes he talked about were never filmed. This also led to some of the funniest reshoots where you can see Kate Mara in a terrible wig that doesn't look anything like the earlier shoots.

I always liked her stuff and yeah, this is awful to hear. I never heard of her eing loopy before though, just that she was a loud liberal and that the 4chan and other fascist crews, of course, hated her and considered her a screaming Communist who wanted all white men dead.

Best part after his AIDS revelation was that search engine queries for “HIV” and related topics spiked so high that the trend was named “the Charlie Sheen Effect” and examined in actual medical journals.

Geez, Charlie, just how many people did you gently caress?

No idea why they were in such a hurry to get done with GoT. Far as I can tell, neither of them has done anything even remotely as relevant before or since. Definitely one of the bigger Dunning–Kruger moments in recent entertainment history.

Like BATS FLY says, I guess they were in a hurry to jump on to Star Wars, but then after GoT poo poo the bed with the lights on, they kinda got fired from everything. Everyone else, including George Rail Road Martin himself was confused by the decision to just cut and run on GoT because they could've kept going for several years -- and probably should have, considering how one of the biggest failures of the show was that they rushed the ending to such a comical degree that it ruined the whole loving thing.

yeah i just find it funny. i follow alot of media creatives of late and the smart ones take their time with poo poo and only show off oppertunties when they are fully done. these stupid fucks just decided to "yeah idk it all ends bad and the cripple is king just like dune" and then ended it. what sucks is i could think of like 20 or so easy fixes that would have softened alot of the badness without even changing that much.

Lost was kinda the opposite: The producers/studio pressured them to keep going, and they did, even though I think they wanted to wrap it up after 4 or 5 seasons.

Also, no one's career was hurt/ended by Lost, except maybe Mathew Shepards, but that was for non Lost reasons.
