This year has been a bust for almost everyone, from small businesses to movie theaters. Thousands, if not millions, of people lost their jobs due to COVID and other various factors. But the regular mortals were not the only ones who took a hit this year.
We praise and idolize celebrities, sometimes giving them too much leeway, but that’s because we’re blinded by their past achievements. In 2020 it seems as if the public has finally had enough: no more “stanning,” no more excuses, time to cancel some stars! By canceling, we, of course, mean that the following stars have been added to the Internet’s no-no list for various reasons.
Some of these PR disasters will blow over, while others could potentially land in our future “Twitter History” books. Let’s look at some of the celebrities who got canceled in 2020.
Demi Lovato
The Internet doesn’t like it when one popular celebrity disses another popular celebrity, especially if the offender uses a fake account to do that. Rumors were going down about Demi Lovato using some random Instagram account to post nasty stuff about Selena Gomez, but there’s been no official confirmation from either of the stars. Too bad the Internet doesn’t need proof to cancel someone, and that’s how the hashtag #DemiLovatoIsOverParty started trending. Demi didn’t admit to anything and said that she has been “canceled” so many times, she doesn’t even care anymore.
Lil Pump
Remember his one popular song, “Gucci Gang?” What has this young gentleman done to deserve… oh, he openly endorsed Trump? Oof, that’s gotta hurt. And this is even after Trump called him “Little Pimp, big star.” He was one of the very few celebrities who supported Trump’s presidential campaign, and now he’s canceled.
Jimmy Fallon
This one has to be the dumbest entry on the list. Jimmy is a comedian, always has been. So when a 20-year-old video of him impersonating Chris Rock pops up in 2020, the whole Internet freaks out. Look, people, if it takes you 20 years to get offended, it wasn’t that offensive in the first place. It’s definitely not the reason to ruin a man’s career.
