Unfairly Targeted: The Unexpected Amount of Hate for These 16 Celebrities
In the realm of celebrity culture, many well-known figures, unfortunately, bear the burden of receiving an unwarranted amount of hate from their own fans. Despite their talent and achievements, these celebrities face relentless criticism and negativity from certain segments of their fan base. Even beloved stars have not been immune to receiving excessive scrutiny and negative comments from a small faction of their fan base. While it’s normal for celebrities to encounter both praise and criticism, the level of vitriol directed at these individuals often seems disproportionate and unjustified.
Robert Pattinson
To start, a user said, “Robert Pattinson. During the release of the Twilight movies, he was the butt of so many jokes for his “bad acting.” I don’t know about anyone else, but I think he’s actually a pretty good actor. He was great in The Lighthouse, The King, Devil All The Time, and Batman. He still gets so much hate for his acting skills, even though Twilight was over a decade ago.”
Anne Hathaway
A second user added, “Anne Hathaway. I enjoy her acting and find her to be likable and unproblematic. Yet, she was bullied for… doing her job. Campaigning for an Oscar. Comparing her to a theater kid. When she hosted The Oscars with James Franco, she was far more professional and took it seriously, and yet people made fun of her for it.”
Timothee Chalamet
This user commented, “Timothée Chalamet. I see a lot of hate for him, but I’ve always enjoyed everything he’s done, and he seems pretty unproblematic, but maybe I’m missing something?”
Madison Beer
A highly-liked comment was, “Madison Beer. She’s done many questionable things, but much of the hate comes from immature and insecure girls. She makes bops and is really well-spoken too.”
Zayn Malik
One person wrote, “Zayn Malik. I came across a post on TikTok, and the amount of hate Zayn was getting in the comments surprised me. Some fans were still upset about the fact he left 1D years ago. The amount of racist remarks I’ve seen against him shocks me.”
Demi Lovato
A top-liked comment said, “Demi Lovato. Yeah, she may be unpleasant or say stupid things at times, but the way people talk about her online, you would think she was as terrible as an abuser or anything along those lines.”
Meghan Markle
One user commented, “I’m gonna say Meghan Markle because I keep having to scroll past viral tweets and TikToks and Reddit posts about how she’s the devil incarnate. I don’t get why. And it’s really starting to infuriate me. It’s bogus body language analysis, conspiracies, and everything in between. It’s mostly women who hate her, interestingly.”
Amy Schumer
A person commented, “Amy Schumer, it’s become almost a cliche to hate Amy Schumer at this point. I’m not even a huge fan of Amy Schumer, but people saying, “SHE RUINED ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING,” was a bit much. Like, grow up.”
Harry Styles
A popular comment was, “Harry Styles. The way people obsess over whether he’s gay or not is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. You can’t drag someone out of the closet.”
Amber Heard
One poster said, “Amber Heard doesn’t deserve to get called out on anything regarding her relationship with Johnny Depp. The massive hate campaign against her is 100% rooted in misogyny and homophobia. It’s ok to say you like her, but even if you don’t, unlikable people can also be victims.”
Taylor Swift
This user replied, “Taylor Swift. Not necessarily “hate,” but I think she gets put into the category of “obsessed ex/crazy woman/overrated singer” category. Some of her songs that happened to be “radio songs” aren’t her best but that doesnt mean shes overrated. I think she’s an amazing songwriter/musician. She also is seen as this crazy person who writes songs about exes when, in reality, a lot of her songs aren’t even about relationships.”
Camila Cabello
A person suggested, “Camila Cabello, literally anytime she’s mentioned, people are so quick to jump at her and call her a rat and call her ugly. If you don’t like her music or her voice, fair play, but people are so so hateful towards her, I feel bad.”
Sydney Sweeny
This user added, “Sydney Sweeney. The uproar over the birthday was way overblown. There seems to be a never-ending cycle with young (usually female celebrities). They get success, and before long, the internet will pick them apart any chance they get. With Sydney, I suspect people are mad and jealous that she’s doing well despite not coming from a Hollywood (or Hollywood-adjacent) family.”
Victoria Justice
An insightful comment was, “Victoria Justice has been the target of Ariana stans since Ariana Grande started rising up the ranks. Even now, they love to call her a flop and compare their career trajectory when Victoria had already been working twice as long as Ariana when they both starred in Victorious. Like people just genuinely hate her and wish her the worst, and it’s so baffling because she’s never actually done anything.”
Jennifer Lawrence
This poster recalled, “Jeniffer Lawrence. I was so surprised to see hateful comments directed at her. Is there something else I’m missing? I feel like there are more problematic celebrities to aim this negativity at.”
Ed Sheeran
Finally, a commenter said, “Ed Sheeran is an appropriate answer for this because I think he gets made fun of for no reason. I think he’s one of the most unproblematic celebrities around. I love his music, and he seems to want to live his best low-key life.”
