People Are Sharing "Nice" Celebs Who They Completely Lost Respect For, And I Agree With Some

This week, I wrote two posts about people sharing which celebs they've completely lost respect for. Our BuzzFeed Community ALSO came through with some spot-on examples of celebs — who you'd THINK are super nice — who they have lost respect for too.

Here's some of what they shared:

FYI: I can't stress this enough — these are quotes from other people. They don't reflect my views or BuzzFeed's.

1."Ina Garten. I lost all respect for her when she ignored that poor sick kid’s Make a Wish request to see her."

—zozothecatThe story goes like this: The boy, Enzo, wanted to cook with Ina. Multiple requests were allegedly sent to her and her team. Enzo's parents never heard back. Eventually it made news, to which Ina responded and said only that her team received the requests and never told her. She offered to cook with Enzo, and his parents ultimately declined.

2."Lizzo. After the way she treated that food delivery driver for something that was her own fault, I was done with her."

—noodle192000Lizzo put a Postmates driver on blast for allegedly stealing her food.

3."Sha'Carri Richardson. I was all set to root for her in the Olympics after she was unfairly disqualified for smoking weed. Then, she lashed out at Allyson Felix, when she supported her. The whole thing was immature and childish."

—justchillmanAllyson Felix went on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she showed support for Sha'Carri. However, Sha'Carri soon after posted on her Instagram story,

4."Dr. Phil. He exploits people. He brought the creator of Bum Fights on the show and kicked him off after showing up dressed as Dr. Phil. The guy said he and Dr. Phil did the exact same thing — Phil just hid it better. After seeing that clip, I have no respect for Dr. Phil."

—u/Cohen4MaasDr. Phil has been called out for exploiting his guests' mental health for ratings and publicity for his show.

5."Dr Oz. was a cardiothoracic surgeon. He began his show giving a lot of legit medical Information. However, over the years, he spends a lot of time endorsing fakes, frauds, and snake oil salesmen/women. He makes viewers feel that if they buy into all the shit he is promoting that they will be healthy."

—u/Responsible-Moose164Dr. Oz has a long, extensive history of promoting iffy products and supplements.

6."Oprah. She endorsed Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, who are problematic in their own right."

7."Jussie Smollett. That shit was just wrong, man."

—u/SnoopFelonyFelonJussie was found guilty in December for filing a false police report after he claimed that he was attacked by two men who hurled racist and anti-gay slurs at him and bound him with rope. 

8."James Corden. I used to be a real big fan of him and his old Gavin and Stacy stuff and I even liked the lesbian vampire movie too, even though a lot of people hated it. He came across very rude and unlikeable in his Reddit AMA."

<div><p>"In the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/bqy5zf/i_am_james_corden_alongside_ben_winston_and_five/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:AMA;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">AMA</a>, it was discussed how James faced backlash for showing up to a Writers Guild Award meeting to advocate for lower writer wages."

9."Joss Whedon. He was a hugely influential voice in my formative years. A man I looked up to when I had none in my real life. I even met him and he seemed like everything I dreamed he would be.”

—u/Im_Not_NobodyAmong other things, Joss Wheldon was accused of bullying people who were on his set.

10."Steve Harvey. He is the biggest hypocrite. He’s a devout Christian and constantly trashes and belittles atheists as he believes that they have no morals or moral integrity at all without religion."

—u/Shamwow4242He said on Joy Behar's talk show

11."Justin Hartley. Who breaks up with someone they have been with for 6 years and ARE MARRIED TO via text?"

—DogeMamaMamaJustin texted his ex, Chrishell, that he filed for divorce.

12."Rachael Ray. I used to love her back in the late 2000s and watch her 30-Minute Meals program all the time on Food Network. I even bought some of her cookbooks. Then, I found out she's allegedly rude to fans. She's also disliked by other celebrity chefs, including Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse, Anthony Bourdain, and more for pretending to be a good cook. Also, she started shilling for corporate America and doing her lousy talk show. It broke my heart. Now I've lost all respect for her and don't bother watching anything she does anymore."
