Being famous and successful definitely does not give anyone a leeway to become an insufferable person with a horrible attitude, because they best believe that karma will make its way back and bite them. It's a common pattern for those who have already established a name for themselves to think that they can be rightfully conceited, especially to those who are well "below" them.

Celebrity or not, no one has the right to treat someone poorly just because they feel like their horrendous attitude is excusable. Being at the top of the pedestal does not give you the power to just act however you want to, especially when you are already causing borderline harm to the people you are working with.

But apparently, a lot of actors seem to have difficulty grasping this notion because they would prefer to be entitled jerks with over-inflated egos instead. Or, some of their personal problems get in the way of their job too much, and they are already causing more inconvenience to the project crew.

It's safe to say that most of their erratic behavior on-set is actually caused by toxic substances, but that isn't an excuse for them to not deal with the consequences. Now, without further ado, here are some actors who have been fired on-set because of their horrible attitudes:

1. Charlie Sheen got sacked from Two and a Half Men for his turbulent behavior, drug use, and insulting comments.

2. Kevin Spacey was fired from House of Cards because of sexual assault allegations thrown against him.

3. Kevin Spacey was also fired from All the Money in the World because of the same reasons.

4. Roseanne Barr was sacked from the Roseann reboot after making offensive and racial comments about Valerie Jarrett, Obama's advisor.

5. Gina Carano was sacked from The Mandalorian after contrasting being Republican to being a Jew surviving the Holocaust.

6. Hartley Sawyer was fired from The Flash due to his racist and misogynistic tweets.

7. Isaiah Washington got fired from Grey's Anatomy because he used an anti-gay slur on set.

8. Shannen Doherty was deposedfrom Beverly Hills, 90210 after having a "difficult" attitude during filming. She also had issues with her costars, notably Tori Spelling.

9. Jussie Smollett was sacked from Empire after revealing that he staged a homophobic and racist attack against himself.

10. Robert Downey Jr. lost his role in Ally McBeal due to drug use.

11. Sasha Mitchell got arrested for domestic abuse, so he was fired from Step by Step

12. Danny Masterson was pushed out of The Ranch because of sexual assault allegations.

13. Lori Loughlin did not appear in the fifth and final season of Fuller House because she was in jail for fabricating her daughter's papers just to get an admission to a college.

14. Louie C.K.'s show Louie ended when his own sexual misconduct allegations resurfaced

15. Steve Burton was fired from General Hospital for being an anti-vaxxer.

16. Jason Mitchell was pushed out of The Chi because of sexual harrassment allegations on-set.

17. Armie Hammer was fired from every upcoming project he had because of sexual assault allegations. He also called himself a cannibal in one text message.

Honestly, it's a good thing that these issues came to light because most of these people definitely had these consequences coming to them. Fortunately, some of them tried to fix their ways (RDJ!) and eventually made their way back to stardom.
