We’ve seen many times in the past when famous people got into big trouble because of something they said or did on live TV. Remember when the likes of Milli Vanilli, Steve Harvey, or Steven Seagal messed up? Yeah, they had a rough time, but some of them managed to bounce back.
Prepare to cringe once again after seeing these celebrities who destroyed their careers on live TV.
1. Will Smith
Do you remember any of the winners of the 94th Academy Awards? Yeah, almost nobody does, but everyone remembers the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident, where Rock gets bitchslapped for offending Smith’s wife while on the stage. The event was christened “The Slappening” and still makes rounds in the meme-o-sphere of the Internet, and Will Smith will never live this one down.
2. John Travolta
Remember when, at the 86th Academy Awards, Idina Menzel sang her banger from Frozen? Probably not, because something much more memorable happened that evening. John Travolta was about to introduce Menzel to the audience, but he fumbled her name so badly that everyone was confused as heck. Like, who in the world is Adele Dazeem? Either way, Travolta was ridiculed online for months, but Menzel said she doesn’t care about the fumble, so in that regard, it’s all good.
3. Steven Seagal
Back in the early ’90s, Steven Seagal was on the rise as an action star, starring in several semi-successful films. While trying to capitalize on his growing fame, he went on Saturday Night Live in 1991, but, unfortunately, it was his worst idea ever. Some “SNL” staff had a hard time working with the guy, and some even called him the worst host to ever appear on the show. After that fiasco, Seagal ended up making a bunch of low-budget action movies nobody really watched.
