Celebrities People Believe Deserve Another Chance After The Backlash They Faced
These days, cancel culture seems to be all over the place. People are quick to point out that someone has done something wrong and that they no longer want to engage in or even see their work.

That's fine because all of us have our own set of morals. It's even been dubbed "Consequence Culture" by some.
People used to be unable to accuse someone because of their heinous acts without being pushed under the bus themselves. This still happens occasionally, but many people who were once dismissed were doing so because they attempted to speak out against injustices perpetrated by those in positions of power.
Although the system is faulty, it is necessary to accept personal responsibility. Some celebrities were dismissed far too soon and even before the facts were disclosed, causing followers to be outraged and baffled.
Everything that celebs say or do automatically causes unnecessary outrage among a few people who do not like what they are doing because paparazzi constantly surround them. Even if they take a stand for themselves or someone else, somehow, it all boils down to that they're doing it for publicity.
"Which celebrity got taken down, and you honestly felt bad for them?" somebody somewhere questioned on Reddit. The comments were all about serving justice to those celebrities who didn't deserve to be pulled out and who received a setback in their career.
The best responses are as follows:
1. Paul Reubens aka PeeWee Herman
He made our childhood awesome with movies like Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Big Top Pee-wee. He had to stop because he was arrested in an adult theatre for indecent exposure.
He's making a comeback and has been seen on various game shows on TV.
2. Love Brendon Fraser always and Still!
After being assaulted by a higher authority in the film industry, Brendan Fraser was blacklisted. His wife divorced him and took all of his assets.
After all the joy and happiness he brought us in movies like The Mummy and George the Jungle, he deserves a lot more than he got.
3. More power to Britney Spears.
Britney Spears wasn't really "canceled," but she did have her reputation smeared all over primetime television. She suffered a nervous breakdown due to everything going on with her.
4. The Chicks aka The Dixie Chicks
The Dixie Chicks made a rude comment on the Invasion of Iraq and on US President George W. Bush. It stormed them with backlashes and death threats.
Later they made a comeback after dropping the "Dixie" from their band name.
5. Model and Actress Megan Fox
Fox called out director Michael Bay for his inappropriate behavior and compared him to Adolf Hitler, calling him a Nazi. This put her public image under threat, but the two personally sorted things out.
6. Singer Janet Jackson
Her good growing career came to a halt after the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. At the end of her performance, Justine Timberlake ripped open her costume, exposing her breast live on TV.
Even though it wasn't her fault, she received a lot of backlashes, and this incident sabotaged her career.
7. Sinead O’Connor always surrounds herself with controversy.
Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live, where she sang Bob Marley's "War" and then took out a photo of Pope John Paul II, tore it, and threw it at the camera. This act was a protest against sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church, for which she was criticized and boycotted.
8. James Gunn's dismissal over his past comments.
James Gunn got fired from Marvel and was removed from various Disney projects for things he had said over 10 years ago. He criticized Donald Trump in his tweets back in 2008 which led to a setback in his career in the present time.
9. Lisa Bonet after The Cosby Show
After the film Angel Heart, Bill Cosby struck her with a scarlet letter. The convicted rapist believed she had "sullied" the image of "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World," which had an impact on her future career.
10. Al Franken's inappropriate behavior.
After various women came forward and spoke about Franken's indecent behavior towards them, from forcefully kissing to making them uncomfortable during photographs, he announced his resignation from his Senate seat, stating the claims were "just not accurate."
11. Comedian Aziz Anzari
In an article on Babe.net, a woman accused Ansari of sexual misconduct. The media was polarized on whether or not the incident reported in the Babe article qualified as sexual misconduct. However, following the incident, Ansari briefly faded from public view.
These celebs deserve much more than what they got after gaining confidence and coming back stronger than before. They lost their career, their fans, various projects, and even a lot of money for reasons which is not even justified.
