There\u2019s no such thing as bad publicity, some say. But celebrities who\u2019ve found themselves in hot water for controversial statements, crimes, or other reasons, might argue that point. While outrageous behavior can fuel a star\u2019s rise or be overshadowed by their other accomplishments, it can also turn a once-beloved celeb into a pariah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not hard to come up with a list of actors, musicians, and other notable figures who\u2019ve fallen from grace. Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a>, R. Kelly, Danny Masterson are all in prison. Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Majors, and Roseanne Barr have all lost roles and struggled to get cast after headline-making scandals. But only of those celebs appears on a new list of the most canceled celebrities from digital entertainment platform JB.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n To come up with the list of most controversial stars, experts \u201cexamined how many negative articles were written about each celebrity and how much people argue about them on Reddit. Additionally, the study also tracked how often people publicly called for someone to be canceled on social media. By combining all these factors, each public figure received final \u2018canceled\u2019 scores, with higher scores meaning more backlash.\u201d<\/p>\n The number one figure on the list is unlikely to shock anyone. Kanye West, or Ye, has more than 68 million negative media mentions related to his bizarre and provocative behavior. Most recently, he was dropped as the headliner for the Wireless Festival in the U.K. due to his history of pro-Nazi and anti-semitic remarks. Some people even called for him to be banned from the U.K.<\/a> entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cKanye\u2019s situation is different from most celebrities who get canceled,\u201d the CEO of JB.com said in a statement. \u201cHe\u2019s not just dealing with angry tweets or lost endorsements anymore. The U.K. government actually denied him travel documents, and France\u2019s interior minister was actively working to ban him from performing. The mayor of Marseille said Kanye wasn\u2019t welcome and called him a promoter of Nazism. This is the first time we\u2019re seeing governments step in rather than just social media or sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\nKanye West the most canceled celebrity, analysis finds<\/h2>\n
