Vanessa Hudgens fits this list of actors as she had to apologize for her outlandish comments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, she made some comments in an Instagram Live session that downplayed the seriousness of the virus, and many people took offense, which caused her to receive a huge backlash for it. Vanessa later issued a public apology on social media, admitting her words were inappropriate and expressing regret for any hurt caused.
