And today we're looking at what fame did to celebs whose lives were visibly disrupted by the pressures of fame.

Judy would call me and you could hear her troubled mind.

Starring on Disney's Even Stevens, LaBeouf hit the big leagues with the blockbuster success of the Transformers franchise.

We are here looking for the allspark and we must find it before Megatron.

However, the 2000 and tens derailed the actor's rise with constant reports involving arrests, disorderly conduct, and

LaBeouf also developed a reputation for clashing on set, including high profile conflicts on films like Fury and Don't Worry Darling, from which he was ultimately removed.

He is a fantastic actor, but it wasn't gonna work.

However, many have pointed to LaBeouf's childhood fame as a major factor for his self destructive habits, thrusting him into the spotlight at a young age without equipping him to handle public scrutiny.

In recent years, he's publicly accepted accountability for many of his past actions.

Speaking on the Real Ones podcast, LaBeouf even called himself a pleasure seeking, selfish, self centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being.

And I was operating on a survival instinct.

Initially introduced as the perfect boy next door, Bieber's image swung hard the other way in the mid 2010s.

After being constantly scrutinized, objectified, and

placed on an unrealistic pedestal, Bieber became infamous for erratic behavior and legal trouble.

Dui, alcohol or drugs, resisting without violence, and driving with an expired driver's license.

From his love life to offhand comments aimed at the paparazzi, the world clung to his every move.

The baby singer decided to lean into his bad boy Persona, but

that did little to stop the media frenzy surrounding him.

It took a hiatus and time away from the spotlight for Bieber to recalibrate, returning with a toned down attitude, marrying lady love Hailey Baldwin, and

His name still isn't controversy free, but hopefully his more chaotic days are now behind him.

I'm passionate about things and I'm passionate about being better and growing.

Often considered a musical genius and innovator who broke new ground in the industry, West's public image was sky high for over a decade.

However, his increasingly questionable behavior over the years began to overshadow his creative legacy.

The rapper took to making openly offensive and hateful statements, throwing his reputation into free fall.

The media attention only added fuel to the fire, constantly providing him a platform to air out his grievances and lofty claims.

For 400 years, that sounded like a choice.

Rather than intervening before the damage could be contained, many questioned why West's team seemed unable to contain him.

He's since cited his bipolar diagnosis as the reason for his behavior, though the veracity of these claims remains dubious.

In a world full of lies, Lindsay Lohan, child star spiraling out is tragically all too common.

Once Disney's golden girl, Lindsay Lohan seemed poised for stardom with roles in Mean Girls and Freaky Friday.

However, her personal life became cannon fodder for the media as tabloids followed every drama crash out and relapse.

Heightened by the unrelenting pressures of fame, Lohan dealt with alcohol and substance use disorder.

You're to serve 30 days in the county jail.

The same media that once celebrated her success now seemed to cheer on her collapse.

And I'm learning how to deal with life in a different light than I have before.

Her career had all but crashed and burned until she relocated to Dubai, where distance offered her much needed space to reset.

The actress has since experienced a resurgence in the public eye, though the press hasn't exactly accepted their role in her downfall.

Congratulations for surviving us, the mass media, and all the craziness.

Another former child star, but one without a redemption arc so far.

Much like Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes shot to fame at a young age.

We just came to wish you good luck on your show tonight.

Emerging from Nickelodeon fame, Bynes had a string of successful projects across TV and the big screen.

Unfortunately, concerns over her mental health were turned into a viral spectacle by the media.

Between public breakdowns, substance use disorder, and

a conservatorship scandal, Bynes became a fixture in the news for all the wrong reasons.

After starting a fire in a neighbor's driveway.

It was a painful fall for Star, who had been active since the age of 10, while speculation around her has been quieter since, it might be exactly what Bynes needs to live her life away from the cameras.

Amy Winehouse Winehouse's personal struggles were widely documented, and

the singer became known for turning her pain into art.

But behind the music was a soul desperate for support, which few truly offered.

After repeated stints in rehab and nonstop attention from the press, Winehouse's image became inseparable from her private life.

Her former manager, Nick Szymansky, recalled her buckling under the pressure, saying that fame came like a huge tidal wave.

Clearly along the way, lots of people made bad judgment calls that maybe weren't the right calls for Amy.

Instead of being protected, Winehouse's most vulnerable moments were aired out for the world to see.

Her story was sadly cut short at just 27 remaining, one of the most tragic reminders of the limits to how much a person can bear.

Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, is one of the most influential figures to have ever lived.

But behind all the glitz and screaming fans was a man crushing under the weight of superstardom.

Although universally beloved, Elvis Presley's relationship with celebrity was toxic.

Fame enabled his worst impulses, trapped him in an exploitative dynamic with Colonel Tom Parker, and
