  • they didn't really just say that, did they?

  • Welcome to watch Mojo.

  • And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 celebs who ruin their careers with one interview for this, lest we're looking at interviews that severely hindered or ended celebrities careers, whether it was because of what they said, what they didn't say or the fact that they were just acting a little weird.

  • Number 10 Billy Bush Do yourself a favor.

  • If you're wearing a mic, just assume everyone is already listening.

  • In this infamous Access Hollywood footage, presenter Billy Bush and Donald Trump are cruising into a TV studio to do some filming, unaware that their microphones are on.

  • I moved on her, you know, he was down in Palm Beach.

  • I moved on her and I admit it.

  • I did try it.

  • While on the bus, they riff about Trump's sexual escapades, which include groping women and discuss how power can give you free reign to do whatever you want.

  • You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful.

  • I just start kissing them.

  • It's like a magnet.

  • I don't need to wait, and when you're a star, they let you do it.

  • You could do anything, whatever you want.

  • Grab it, by the way, even hear them talking about how attractive they think Days of our Lives actress area and Zucker is before meeting her when they get off the bus.

  • Bush was suspended from his job on the Today show following a ratings drop and subsequently resigned.

  • He since had to repeatedly defend himself in interviews based upon the moment that is on that tape, I understand people's reaction.

  • I agree.

  • I also felt that way.

  • Number 95 seconds of summer.

  • If you're a band being interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine is a big, big deal, so much so that it can be easy to get carried away with trying to sound overtly rock and roll.

  • And that's exactly what happened with the band five seconds of summer.

  • In a 2015 interview, the band did everything from compare themselves to the Beatles to dismissing or insulting the American Music Awards Justin Bieber and their female fan base, also known as most of their fan base.

  • They were criticized for their comments and for generally sounding like narcissistic prima donnas, it probably didn't help that they appeared naked on the front cover either number eight.

  • Paula Abdul.

  • You know when you're drunk, but you don't think you sound drunk.

  • Or maybe you don't.

  • Well, there's a good chance that Paula Abdul knows what that feels like.

  • At least in hindsight.

  • Do Idol fans have to look forward to the season?

  • And what are you looking forward to seeing?

  • Well, is that what ISS I was wondering?

  • What is that?

  • In this 2007 interview, she's promoting the latest series of American Idol.

  • While she would later dismissed the idea as lies, many viewers wondered if she'd had a few drinks or part taken in another type of stimuli.

  • Delayed responses, bouts of laughter.

  • This one has it all.

  • Listen, any publicity's good publicity guy learned, eat it up and embrace it and say, See, I had the best delusional people.

  • The interview went viral, becoming an inescapable part of Abdul's career.

  • Two years later, she left American Idol as a judge due to a dispute over wages and dropped out of the public eye for awhile.

  • Number seven, the chain smokers.

  • Next up, we have another misguided attempt, it sounding hardcore in a magazine interview, this time courtesy of the musical duo the chain smokers who let it all hang out with Billboard.

  • Everyone was making the same thing, and after a few years it got really still and only a few people started breaking off from that and experimenting when asked about their manic musical romps.

  • They were all too eager to brag about their wild frat boy image and pension for sleeping with as many girls as possible, even though they both have girlfriends.

  • The two were heavily criticized and briefly became the talk of the musical world for all the wrong reasons.

  • But we shouldn't hate on them too much, right?

  • Like they said, quote, we're just frat, bro dudes, you know what I mean?

  • Love and ladies and stuff.

  • That's an actual quote word for word.

  • Number six Prince Andrew deemed a car crash by many.

  • This interview ultimately resulted in Prince Andrew stepping down from public duties for the royal family.

  • Today you've chosen to speak out for the first time.

  • Why have you decided to talk now?

  • When BBC's Emily Meatless questioned him about his close ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the princes answer.

  • Raise many an eyebrow for starters.

  • Prince Andrew straight up denied ever meeting his accuser, Virginia Roberts.

  • I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, despite photographic evidence to the contrary, there were other shocking answers littered throughout, like saying he didn't regret his friendship with Epstein as it presented him with useful opportunities.

  • The interviewer is clearly unimpressed with his answers, much like pretty much everyone else who watched it.

  • He has quite obviously conducted himself in a manner unbecoming yes, unbecoming.

  • He was a sex offender.

  • Yeah, I'm sorry I'm being polite.

  • Number five Liam Neeson This interview had social media bursting at the seams with comments for and against the Irish actor.

  • While promoting one of his movies, Neeson opened up in an interview about the time one of his close friends was raped by a black man.

  • You too get rid of this and I'm I'm not racist.

  • I This was nearly 40 years ago, but because I was brought up and maybe I'm rapping on Rome.

  • So forgive me.

  • I just brought up in the north of Ireland on Brought up in the troubles.

  • He said that after finding out, he walked the streets looking for trouble, hoping to kill a black man before realizing that what he was doing was wrong and feeling ashamed of himself.

  • Many branded him a racist, while others defended his honesty, including celebrities such as Trevor Noah and would be Goldberg, because I believe that nearly at least deserves a medal.

  • I'll tell you why it may not have destroyed his career, but it certainly put a fork in the road of his likability.

  • Number four Katherine Heidel Heidel has long had a reputation for being difficult to work with, but a 2008 interview with Vanity Fair proved particularly damning when she criticized the movie Knocked Up, which she just started.

  • She branded the movie quote a little sexist and critiqued the way in which it portrays women, which frustrated people.

  • Considering that she decided to be in the movie a year later, she started the movie The Ugly Truth, which was widely panned as misogynistic, was this delightful creature.

  • I'm your producer.

  • I like a woman on top.

  • As a result of the entire episode, already hesitant directors were given yet another reason to be cautious about working with her.

  • I'm gonna be really honest right now.

  • I'm not.

  • I know I'm not.

  • I don't have to think about it.

  • I'm not a rude person.

  • I'm not unkind or mean.

  • Person Number three.

  • Megan Fox As a general rule, it's probably not a good idea to compare the director you're working with to Hitler.

  • But that's what Transformers star Megan Fox did in an interview with British magazine Wonderland.

  • Talking about Michael Bay's conduct on set, Fox compared the director to the Nazi leader, which was soon all over the media.

  • Whoa, nice headers.

  • You got a high rise double from Cooperator.

  • That's pretty impressive.

  • It ultimately resulted in her being fired from the Transformers franchise, but not by Bay.

  • According to Bay it was.

  • The franchise is executive producer, a certain Steven Spielberg, who insisted she be fired.

  • She's since worked with Bay again on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, which the latter produced.

  • But Fox is notable.

  • Roles have otherwise been few and far between since giving this interview well, they don't look like turtles because they are turtles.

  • They're over six feet tall and they speak English.

  • Number two Charlie Sheen.

  • This guy has said and done some seriously shocking and controversial things in his career, but the reason he's on today's list may surprise you.

  • The interview in question is his 2015 appearance on the Today show, where he announced that he was HIV positive.

  • They walked in the room and said, What's going on?

  • It's a It's a It's a hard um, three letters to absorb.

  • You know, it's a turning point in one's life.

  • While some praised his bravery, many criticized the fact that it had taken him four years to go public with it, stating that it could have endangered his sexual partners.

  • Were these people that you had had sexual contact with and we're claiming that you had transmitted the virus to them?

  • Or were these people who simply found out about your status and were threatening to tell the world?

  • People also took a machine surprisingly calm demeanor as he told of his diagnosis and battle with people blackmailing him.

  • For some, the interview humanize Sheen more than ever before.

  • For others, it further solidified.

  • His reputation is being reckless, particularly with the lives of others.

  • Have you had unprotected sex on any occasion since your diagnosis?

  • Yes, but about the two people that that I did that with under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time.
