21 Celebrities Who Were on Top of the World One Day and At Rock Bottom the Next

Fame is a fickle mistress — one day, she loves you, and the next day, she leaves. Sometimes, it’s no fault of your own, but sometimes, it’s because you assaulted somebody. Maybe she left because she tortured you to the point that you blew all your money on sports betting apps and started yelling racial slurs at schoolchildren. Not even the corresponding ones. Like, not that it makes it any better, but those schoolchildren are El Salvadoran.

Whatever the case, a celebrity’s Q rating can tank overnight, and how unfortunate that is depends largely on the reason. On the sadder side, Redditor True_Egg_5685 cites Bam Margera of Jackass fame. “He looks horrible now, like his dad but worse,” they told r/AskReddit. “Wouldn’t be surprised if I wake up one morning and he’s dead.” 

They then asked, “Which celebrity went on the fastest, hardest and most destructive (downward) spiral from their peak?” and their fellow Redditors went as low as they could possibly go.
