Big people betray me and I keep forgiving them you sound like you’re playing the victim here number 10 Jerry Lee Lewis Jerry Lee Lewis always caused commotion as an early rock and roll Rebel incidentally the wild child went too far by settling down with Myra Gail Brown in 1957 after four triumphant concerts
Lewis inadvertently referred to Myra’s age at a press conference all hell broke loose the 22-year-old Lewis publicly lied about his third wife’s real age who was a teenager she was also his first cousin once removed just like that LE publicly went from bad boy to Total creep the subsequent concert

Active musician for the rest of his life whose influential work is still celebrated the man himself was never recover from his Union with brown or its disillusion on the grounds of infidelity and abuse this wasn’t Lewis’s last scandalous marriage Jerry Lee Lewis’s Talent was never in doubt but his
Personal life will forever raise questions about his legacy number nine Ryan Adams prolific singer songwriter Ryan Adams has enjoyed great acclaim and cloud in the music industry many fellow musicians counted on him in their own careers in 2019 seven women told the New York Times that this came with strings
Attached they claimed that Adams used Promises of professional support to sexually and romantically coer them if they resisted he would use social media to solely their Public Image Adams initially denied these allegations but later took full responsibility for his history of abuse many didn’t buy his formulaic apology and promise of growth
I I find it curious that someone would make a public apology but not do it privately um I am speaking for myself but I have not heard from him and I’m not looking for an apology necessarily but I do find it curious that someone would sort of do an interview about it
Without actually making amends privately yeah some say the material he’s produced since has suffered from a ton deaf tone of self-pity I don’t remember we wild and young all that’s faded in me whether Ryan is is truly remorseful that music industry cloud is dried up
You had a lot of aess friends that that stayed quiet when when all this happened did this sort of teach you who your real your real friends are oh man I got friends the I the whole alphabet I’m good number eight Ike Turner in the early days of rock and roll Ike Turner
Was a Visionary he took the blues and created his own Ike Turner sound he really got his Big Break by helping his wife Tina get hurs the couple revolutionized pop music but no longer share the same esteem after filing for divorce in 1976 Tina revealed that her marriage was plagued with physical and
Psychological abuse Ike’s Public Image as well as his finances were further tarnished by substance use and legal issues all of this was cemented in Pop Culture by the biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It what I he what’ you say the Turners both stated that the film embellished their
Dysfunctional relationship still while Tina is immortalized as the queen of rock and roll the queen Maker’s Legacy is overshadowed by cruelty after the movie came out people were like sorry we’re not going to help number seven tekashi 69 Daniel Hernandez stands out from a generation of rappers who made
Their stage name on Soundcloud unfortunately it’s not so much because of tekashi 69 work with big names in the industry in 2015 he pled guilty to criminally sexual Iz in a minor in a music video over the next two years he would be implicated in or admit to a
Number of violent offenses despite asking for time served the judge cited a list of crimes linking Hernandez which he said wreaked havoc across the city he also softened racketeering and Firearm convictions in 2018 by ratting on gang Associates after many assumed he would be free this week Brooklyn rapper
Tekashi 69 has been sentenced to 24 months in prison and a subsequent 5 years of supervised release Hernandez left left prison 2 years later but was labeled a snitch in his community and an overall scumbag in the mainstream he dug himself even deeper with several high-profile feuds don’t tell me what
I’ve chose to do in my life because if i cho if I did what people say oh you should have did you guys move on with your life otherwise 69s music is as low profile as ever Number Six CEO Green in both hip-hop groups and solo soul CEO
Green was a Titan of his industry my life feels purposed and my music feels intentful and I feel empowered because of it his reputation first started to bend in the early 2010s over hostile responses to critics online it broke after he was accused of sexual battery and charged with assaulting an
Intoxicated woman green maintained his innocence by posting that victims remember the experience he is a very popular celebrity in Los Angeles the prosecutor has to consider that because the jury is going to like CEO green he made so many disturbingly ignorant comments that his account was temporarily shut down a lackluster
Apology was insufficient to save one of music’s most prolific Stars the Scandal cost him gigs and nearly destroyed his career on the screen record sales have also suffered CeeLo manages to stay busy but now largely outside of public view the accusation would it it it was so untimely and unfortunate number five Ian
Wat kins fans were devastated when the Welsh rockers lost profits broke up in 2013 the reason why was the most devastating part the previous year lead singer Ian Watkins was arrested for possession of drugs and highly obscene materials because he shows no emotion he uh shows no sympathy he shows no guilt
And in this case the evidence is overwhelming he eventually pleaded guilty to 10 counts of sexual activity with minors Watkins abuses had been reported to police as early as 2008 the police Watchdog the ipcc confirmed they’d now identified as many as five forces who since 2009 had passed on
Information about Watkins to South Wales police the horrific Scandal has even besmer merged his bandmates legacies lost profits music and merchandise have been basically blacklisted from the public thankfully most of its members have found success with the band no devotion and other beloved projects Watkins meanwhile is serving 29 years in
Prison for his heinous crimes there is no doubt in my mind that Ian Watkins has exploited a celebrity stat this number four Marilyn Manson industrial metal Pioneer Brian Warner made a career out of shocking the public as maryin Manson his subversive brand would gradually be hidden from the mainstream over several
High-profile murders committed by fans I think it’s my job as an artist to be out there pushing people’s buttons and making them question everything he was a key subject and proponent of discourse following the Columbine High School massacre I definitely can see why they would pick me because I think it’s easy
To throw my face on a TV because I’m in the end sort of a poster boy for fear because I represent what everyone’s afraid of because I do and say what I want in 2021 Manson finally lost his Niche group of supporters multiple people including ex fiance EV Rachel
Wood alleged years of abuse and sexual assault it’s a cycle and it it bleeds into so many problems in in our country and our society that we are not even aware of Manson has not released new material or toured since he’s been embroiled in legal battles with his accusers which have raised concerning
Testimony against all parties but with disturbing evidence suggesting that Manson’s horror isn’t just for show if you are still willing to defend him number three Gary Glitter I deeply regret doing what I was sent to prison for Paul Gad helped broaden glamrocks pop appeal with the flamboyant anthems and live performances of Gary
Glitter he’d still be an icon of the genre if it weren’t for his shocking criminal history in 1999 Gad was convicted of possessing obscene content and registered as a sex offender his career died on the spot glitter served 2 months in prison and upon his release he claimed he was repentant after prison
Gad tried starting a new outside of England only to be deported and banned from several countries for continuing to fraternize a conviction in Vietnam resulted in deportation to his homeland where he was convicted of multiple sex crimes in 2015 judge alist McCree told glitter I’ve read the impact statements
Of all three victims it is clear in their different ways they were all profoundly affected the Gary Glitter brand has now faded Into Obscurity and all that’s left is a criminal rejected by the whole world number two Kanye West even more astonishing than Kanye West’s Renown was his downfall he first lost
Mainstream credibility with baffling statements throughout the 2000s this included poorly phrasing racial concerns after Hurricane Katrina and hijacking an award acceptance speech by Taylor Swift Taylor I I’m really happy for you I’m let you finish but Beyonce had one the best videos of all time one of the best videos of all
Time West then polarized the black community by downplaying racism and aligning with right-wing politics through the 2010s this culminated in a representation of white supremacist culture in the 2020s especially anti-semitic conspiracy theories that dealt a destructive blow to West’s music career business brand and social media presence still he always finds a
Platform for his outrageous views I know they’re going to say whatever they want about me they’re when I bring up the truth they’re going to say you didn’t get enough sleep it’s because of your health many link the rapper Antics to mental illness or mere attention seeking
