FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO SHATTERED OUR FAITH IN HUMANITY

DR. NANCY SNYDERMAN

After being exposed to an Ebola-affected area while filming a news

segment for NBC, Dr. Nancy Snyderman violated the

twenty-one-day-period quarantine and made a secret run to a

New Jersey restaurant, putting other people at risk of catching

the deadly virus just because she felt like dining out.

ANDERSON SILVA

If you asked MMA fans a year ago who’s the greatest MMA fighter

of all time the name Anderson Silva would most likely pop up

alongside that of Fedor Emelianenko and Georges St-Pierre.

However, this past January, Silva failed drug tests after his

fight with Nick Diaz and the worst part is that he kept lying

about it until the second sample verified the illegal substances

in his blood. Ironically, Silva was one of those athletes who

kept criticizing cheaters and people who use steroids while

doing exactly what he was preaching against. His legacy

was greatly damaged and he was banned for one year.

BRIAN WILLIAMS

Williams, who anchored NBC Nightly News until he received a

six-month suspension earlier this year, went from being the

twenty-third most-trusted person in America to the 835th.

Apparently, he lied about many stories over the past twelve

years, exaggerating his role in the Iraq invasion of 2003.

Most recently, he said he was traveling in a helicopter

that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, but after a

veteran involved in the event questioned his story, Williams

admitted he was actually riding in another helicopter that was

about thirty minutes behind the one that was hit.

NICKI MINAJ

We can forgive Nicki for having lots of plastic surgery; we can

forgive her for lacking any serious musical talent, but saying

“F%$# you” to the legendary Steven Tyler on social media and

accusing him of being racist just because he criticized her as

a judge on American Idol is utterly unacceptable. Other than the

plain disrespect of a legend who is thirty-five years older than her,

didn’t she know that Tyler was responsible, in part, for helping rap

and hip-hop enter the mainstream when he teamed up with

Run DMC (“Walk This Way”) back in the 1980’s?

STEVE MARTIN

Steve Martin tweeted a joke that wasn’t funny and offended both

African and Italian-Americans in the process (which he later

deleted). He then offered his “deep, sincere, and humble apology,”

but also went on to clarify the context and origin of the joke

which made us think that he wasn’t all that sorry after all.

KEYSHIA COLE

After putting a Cash Money Records (her record label) employee

in the hospital because she thought the woman was sleeping

with her boyfriend (rapper and producer Birdman), she thought

the best way to make it up to him would be to dry hump a

piano. And no, that wasn’t a typo.

AMANDA BYNES

Instead of making headlines for her career, the fashion designer

and actress Amanda Bynes continues to run into one legal

mess after another. In 2013 she was arrested for several DUIs.

She has also been arrested for marijuana possession and

starting a fire near a stranger’s house. Because of this and

other erratic behaviour, Bynes was placed under

psychiatric evaluation.

HULK HOGAN

It’s really hard to imagine him being a racist but the fact is that

Hogan, arguably the most well-known and likable professional

wrestler of all time, recently made some inappropriate,

racial statements.
