"Her character in Smallville was original to the show and not part of the Superman mythos. She did so well by it that they introduced it into the comics.

But she had to go co-run a cult that sex trafficked women and branded them like animals. End of career, no reunion shows, no Comic Cons, character dropped from the comics, so no cool legacy. Oh yeah...and jail."

"After 9/11, all he had to do was nothing. Literally, nothing–his place in history was sealed. His fall from that pedestal to the national punchline is genuinely extraordinary."

"In and out of rehab, jail, and prison for years. The infamous incident where he broke into a neighbor's house and passed out in one of their beds.

He explained in 1999 to a judge: "It's like I have a shotgun in my mouth, and I've got my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gunmetal."

At rock bottom, h'd absolutely lost it all. His wife left and took their son, he was homeless, near bankrupt, and unemployable. If anyone wanted to hire him, they couldn't, because no insurance would cover a production he was on.He finally reached a point where he wanted to get sober, not forced to get sober by others. He was fortunate to have friends who still wanted to help him find work and could afford to sponsor him. He came so close to being another tragic story of 'imagine what he could've done if he'd lived.'He recovered and became one of the top-grossing actors of all time, award-winning, respected, and admired. From the top to the bottom, then back to the top, and blew the roof off."

"Riding high as the celebrity spokesman for a conservative organization and then the news broke of what he did to his sisters in 2015.

Today, the dude is in a cell for CSAM possession. Where he belongs."

"He was in a Marvel film, a Rocky film, an Oscar-bait film (not released), a Super Bowl commercial, and a speaker at the Oscars in the span of probably two months.

He had it all, and it’s so disappointing."

"She was an up-and-coming new star. She had just played a cool, badass character on The Mandalorian that was beloved by millions. She was slated to get her own spin-off series. Her future was set. Once you have an in with Star Wars, one of the biggest IPs on the planet, you're set for life.

But then she posted shitty takes on Twitter and got blacklisted from LucasArts. Sure, she'll probably bounce from right-wing podcast to Fox News interview, but her moment came and went, and she blew it."

"He eventually outed himself as an absolute douchebag interpersonally, racist, sexist, and homophobic. No one wanted to work with him."

"Dilbert was dropped from syndication everywhere and is now a webcomic."

"The California law protecting child actors is named after him."
