14) Mel Gibson’s Racist and Anti-Semitic Rants (2006)

In 2006, Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving, during which he made anti-semitic remarks to the arresting officer. The leaked comments, along with a subsequent 2010 recording of a racist tirade toward his then-girlfriend, tarnished Gibson’s reputation. Once a box-office favorite, Gibson faced substantial backlash, with many in Hollywood distancing themselves from him. While he attempted a career comeback with films like Hacksaw Ridge (2016), his public image remains divisive.
