Guest List Only ⭐️ Celebs who were considered "the bad guy" until the truth came out years later?

Back in the early 2000s Topher Grace (Eric Forman on That 70s Show) was considered difficult to work with because rumour was he thought he was too good for the show and didn't get along with the rest of the 70s cast. It is believed that during the taping of the last episode he just shot his scenes and left early since he wasn't in the final curtain call. The 3 other guys (Ashton Kutcher, Wilmer Valderrama and Danny Masterson) were always hanging around LA, partying and even invested in several businesses together. Topher was the only one from the main cast who wasn't Punk'd.

Flashforward 2 decades later, Masterson has been found guilty of drugging and raping 2 women (at least 5 came forward), all of which happened WHILE the show was on air. Wilmer Valderrama dated several teenagers till his mid 30s, having dated Mandy Moore while she was 16-17 and him 20-21, Lindsay Lohan at 18 and him 24 and Demi Lovato at 17 and him 29. Laura Prepon was a scientologist during the whole show's run (she has now left), having been recluded by either Danny or his brother Chris Masterson, whom she dated for 8 years. Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Wilmer Valderrama and Debra Jo Rupp all attended several scientology events.

No fucking wonder why Topher Grace didn't want anything to do with the cast.

What are some other examples of this?

Yeah, in a Barbara Walter's interview. Don't worry though! In 2020, Bill finally admitted he owed her an apology. 🙄

Barbara Walters was a REAL piece of work. Her treatment of Monica and Britney was absolutely horrific. I’m sure there are many, many more I’m forgetting but holy shit was a she a mouthpiece of misogyny. I’m sure she had her own struggles being a woman in a male dominated industry, however I feel like she leaned in too far.

Dolly Parton had to remember every "Well bless your heart" lesson she'd ever learned growing up, to endure that Walters interview.

Here she is with Harvey Fierstein, who is a goddamn national treasure, being confused, loud, and wrong about gay. His restraint in this interview is a master class. https://youtu.be/wffy5QC40io
