Y' all are not working together the right way.

And today, we're counting down our picks for the celebrities who fell out of favor and racked up the most public disdain in the 2000s so far.

Russell Brand Russell Brand's reputation has significantly cratered in the 2000s amid serious legal troubles.

Russell Brand, the comedian and actor, was charged with five counts in relation to four alleged victims.

Once celebrated for his comedy in films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Brand now faces multiple UK charges allegedly spanning from the late 1990s through 2009.

In early 2026, following additional charges, he was granted bail ahead of upcoming court dates.

While Brand has denied wrongdoing, Brand the gravity of the allegations and ongoing investigations have turned him into one of the decade's most controversial and widely criticized celebrities.

It all adds up to a dramatic fall from grace and has become anything but a laughing matter.

Jared Leto youo're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage in a kilt and a snow hat.

To be fair, Jared Leto has some impressive achievements under his belt.

While 30 seconds to Mars never reshaped the music landscape, he has delivered memorable performances on the big screen.

Still, Leto has increasingly become something of a Hollywood punchline.

His recent career choices, the especially in the superhero world, have left many scratching their heads.

He's largely brushed off criticism, particularly around his much debated method acting habits.

At the same time, though, ongoing accusations and uncomfortable predatory stories continue to shadow his public image, keeping his reputation firmly in the problematic column.

What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin let's face it, the Baldwins are no stranger to public scrutiny.

The couple sparked quite the firestorm after Hilaria snapped at Alec for interrupting her in a viral red carpet interview, with both Alec and Hilaria drawing criticism for their part in the awkward exchange.

Oh my God, you're distracting me right now.

Meanwhile, the couple has been called out over their new reality series, the Fly on the Wall.

In the lead up to Alex's rust trial has been lambasted for being in extremely poor taste.

Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you and these kids.

The pair's so social media presence has also done little to help their reputation, with many calling their posts out of touch.

No, when I'm talking, you're not talking.

Drake the legal battle over Kendrick Lamar's not like us, a diss track directed at fellow rap superstar Drake, could be near its end after a federal judge tossed Drake's defamation suit against his label, Universal Music Group, determining the song's lyrics in question are non actionable opinion.

The fallout from Drake's brutal rap feud with Kendrick Lamar carried over from 2024 with Lamar's diss track Not Like Us explicitly framing Drake and members of his circle as predatory, a record that effectively cemented public perception that Drake lost the battle.

The Canadian rap superstar escalated things by filing a federal defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing his own label group of profiting off false allegations and claiming the song's promotion led to security incidents at his Toronto home and damage to his brand before contract talks.

In October of 2025, a US judge dismissed the case, ruling the lyrics were a non actionable opinion within a rap beef.

Drake has appealed the decision, the judge categorizing the lyrics as dealing the metaphorical killing blow, but

adding the broader context of a heated rap battle with incendiary language and offensive accusations hurled by both participants would not incline the reasonable list to believe Not Like Us imparts verifiable facts.

For years, Kim Kardashian weathered waves of public criticism, yet maintained an almost unshakable cultural foothold.

The breaking point arrived with the premiere of All's Fair, the Ryan Murphy helmed Hulu legal drama positioned as her prestige crossover to serious acting.

Despite pulling in curiosity driven early views, the show was demolished by critics who called it flat, inert and devoid of dramatic credibility.

The cultural conversation hardened within hours.

Kardashian's performance became a punchline, and

the entire project was framed as a vanity vehicle that collapsed under its own hype.

Well, this information is, as usual, unusable.

But what we have here is knowledge, and knowledge is the key in the lock.

Jojo Siwa has gone from child star to one of the most polarizing figures in entertainment you see.

In the mid-2020s, she took on a drastic image overhaul and defended her transformation as artistic expression.

Meanwhile, critics argued she was trying too hard to be edgy.

I used to be Rainbow Sparkles and now I'm black sparkles.

When JoJo suddenly updated her TikTok profile on New Year's Eve 2025 to read Joelle Siwa, it instantly sparked more conversation after she swaps out her nickname in her TikTok bio for her full name, Joelle Siwa.

The not so subtle switch came as she continued a relationship with fellow celebrity Big Brother UK alum Chris Hughes.

Online reactions were a mix of confusion and curiosity.

How many full on rebrands can one person have?

Oh, did we mention that Bette Davis eyes cover.

Jake Paul the former YouTuber turned Disney Channel alum has long faced accusations of being an antagonizer and mistreating people in his inner circle.

Add in his bragging, sky high ego and constant flaunting of wealth and his transition into boxing only amplified public irritation.

His habit of taunting opponents hasn't helped either.

The 27 year old's headline grabbing fight with 58 year old Mike Tyson also drew heavy criticism.

Many called it staged, while others blasted the massive age gap as unfair.

Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson and the crowd here wondering what to make of it all.

Rosie, I have to tell you, I'm just not surprised.

With so many rooting for someone to finally shut him up in the ring, his eventual defeat to Anthony Joshua, where Paul walked away with a broken jaw, felt like vindication for many of his vocal critics.

James Corden may have charmed audiences with viral hits like Carpool Karaoke, but

off camera, his reputation has taken a very different turn over the years.

Stories have circulated about the comedian being dismissive toward fans, rude to staff and difficult with his own employees.

Things came to a head in 2022 when New York's Balthasar restaurant briefly banned him following complaints about his behavior.
