23 Actors Who Basically Ruined Their Own Career Overnight

23 Actors Who Ruined Their Own Career Overnight

However, things took a turn for LaBeouf in 2020 when ex-girlfriend FKA twigs accused him of sexual assault, battery, and infliction of emotional distress. She sued him in a lawsuit that also claimed he had knowingly given her an STD. Other past girlfriends echoed FKA twigs’s claims with stories of similar behavior. LaBeouf originally claimed that “many of these allegations are not true,” though in 2022, he acknowledged, “I hurt that woman. And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.”

In 2019, several of his former students sued him for “widespread inappropriate and sexually charged behavior toward female students by sexualizing their power as a teacher and an employer by dangling the opportunity for roles in their projects.” Franco’s lawyer called these claims “false and inflammatory” and “legally baseless”; the case was eventually settled. Franco did eventually admit to having sex with his students, but claimed sex addiction left him “blind to power dynamics” and that he hadn’t created his acting school, Studio 4, as a “master plan” to sleep with students.

Drake Bell became a 2000s heartthrob after appearing in The Amanda Show and starring in Drake & Josh. While he was no A-List celebrity in the 2010s (and had multiple DUIs), several things occurred post 2020 that caused his career to fall into serious disrepute. First, he was accused of assault by former partner Melissa Lingafelt (allegations which he denied). Then, in 2021, Bell was arrested and charged with “attempted endangerment of a child and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.”

4.
Stephen Collins was best known for appearing as the beloved patriarch in 7th Heaven in the ’90s and 2000s. However, in 2014, he was exposed as having sexually abused multiple young girls between the ’70s and ’90s — which he admitted to People magazine. “Forty years ago, I did something terribly wrong that I deeply regret. I have been working to atone for it ever since,” he said, denying that he had done anything similar since. He was quickly fired from The Fosters and Ted 2, and has appeared in no projects since.

5.
In 2020, Ansel Elgort was accused of having sexually assaulted a 17-year-old in 2014, when Elgort was 20. More women came forward to share their stories of troubling behavior from Elgort, including a woman that went on two dates with him at 16 and a woman who said he sent her a dick picture when she was in eighth grade. Elgort responded with claims that “I have never and would never assault anyone” and said his relationship with the first accuser was consensual. He largely retreated from the public eye after this, and notably did very little press for West Side Story, the highly anticipated Steven Spielberg remake in which he had starred. Even the original trailer barely featured him, despite his casting as one of the two starring roles. Other cast members were frequently asked about the allegations against Elgort in his absence.

6.
While perhaps not quite as famous as some of the examples on this list, Allison Mack from Smallville seemed poised to make a career for herself in the 2000s. However, she soon became heavily involved in the “personal development company” NXIVM, which was exposed as an MLM and cult in 2017. She was eventually arrested with charges of sex trafficking and forced labor after leading a sex cult within NXIVM that allegedly involved starving and branding women, essentially enslaving them.

Shortly after, Carano announced that she would develop, produce, and star in the film White Knuckle with conservative media company the Daily Wire. However, Carano later canceled the film because she refused to adhere to Hollywood’s masking policies. She decided to quit her union (presumably the Screen Actors Guild) and make a different movie in Montana. The film was released in 2022 to little fanfare, and it’s clear that Carano doesn’t have the budding career she once had. Carano also had a role in My Son Hunter, the far-right fictionalized portrayal of Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals.

14.
Jason Mitchell rose to prominence over the 2010s in films like Straight Outta Compton, Keanu, and Kong: Skull Island. He was set to star in the Netflix movie Desperados but was fired after allegations of misconduct (including, according to the Hollywood Reporter, making “highly inappropriate remarks” to two female costars while “lingering close to their quarters”). He was then fired from the third season of Lena Waithe’s series The Chi (also due to claims of misconduct on set) and dropped by his agency.

He hasn’t had a project come out since 2019. While he has been cast in two upcoming projects, it still seems unlikely his career will ever recover to the levels it was at — longtime collaborator and friend Seth Rogen has even said he would not work with Franco again.

Since then, Elgort has only appeared in Tokyo Vice — one reviewer noted, “His presence makes a good show hard to bear.” He has no other upcoming projects.

He retreated from Hollywood and wasn’t spotted for a long time, until he was discovered to be seemingly working as a timeshare salesperson in the Cayman Islands. He was also spotted back in LA last summer, but he has no projects lined up.

10.
Jussie Smollett made headlines in early 2019 for experiencing a hate crime in Chicago…except, as it turned out, Smollett had actually staged the attack. He was then fired from his hit show, Empire, which was in its fifth season.

11.
Hartley Sawyer was fired from The Flash in 2020 after his old racist, misogynistic, and homophobic tweets surfaced on social media. More than one tweet referred to assaulting women, with one reading, “Date rape myself so I don’t have to masturbate.”

12.
Roseanne Barr was fired from the Roseanne reboot after making an offensive and racist comment about Barack Obama’s adviser Valerie Jarrett, which ABC’s entertainment president, Channing Dungey, called “abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values.”

The show was canceled and then came back as The Conners, with Roseanne’s character killed off. Barr’s career never recovered, though polarizing network Fox did give her a comedy special this year which was not quite a critical darling.

16.
Felicity Huffman was similarly convicted for her role in the college scam, serving just 11 days in prison in 2019. She has struggled more than Loughlin to find roles since, as tabloid OK! reported. She was set to star in an ABC pilot in 2020, though there has been no news about it since.

17.
One of the most infamous examples of an actor who ruined his career is Bill Cosby. Known as “America’s Dad” after a decades-long career in comedy, he had an equally long history of sexual assault come to light in 2014.

Cosby was accused of dozens of counts of sexual assault, leading to his conviction and imprisonment in 2018. He was released in 2021 — still, it remains unlikely that his career will ever recover.

Netflix also scrapped his planned film Gore, and in an unprecedented move, Christopher Plummer was hired to reshoot Spacey’s part in All the Money in the World — even though the film had already been completed. Reshoots took nine days, and Plummer was nominated for an Oscar for the role.

20.
Chris Noth, best known for Sex and the City, appeared in its reboot, And Just Like That…, in 2021. However, as the show began airing, two women came forward claiming that Noth had sexually assaulted them.

And finally, let’s end on two actors who ruined their careers overnight…and then came back.

21.
Louis C.K. admitted to masturbating in front of colleagues in 2017 after the New York Times published an article accusing him of this behavior. FX (which had broadcast his show Louie) severed ties with C.K., and his upcoming film I Love You, Daddy was shelved days before its premiere.

However, just six years after this second incident, he returned in 2016 with Hacksaw Ridge, which he directed. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning two. Gibson himself was even nominated for Best Director.

However, Smith does seem set to make a comeback — he is currently filming the fourth installment in the Bad Boys franchise.
