Tom Brady -

During an October 17 2022 episode of his SiriusXM show, 'Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray,' the former Tampa Bay quarterback compared starting a new football season to military deployment.

"I almost look at like a football season like you're going away on deployment in the military, and it's like, man, here I go again," he said. "When it comes down to it, your competitiveness takes over and as much as you want to have this playful balance with the work balance, you're going to end up doing exactly what you've always done, which is why you are who you are."

People quicky chimed in online, with some users pointing out, "Yet the salary and the hours are different," and others writing sarcastic remarks like, "Didn’t know the Military paid $20M a year to work 16 days" Many called his comparison "disgraceful" and "disconnected" from reality, and even asked for an apology.

Neil Patrick Harris -

Neil Patrick Harris' flub was back in 2011 but he's still apologizing for it to this day, as a photo has resurfaced from a party he hosted at which he had a buffet platter created in the likeness of the late, great Amy Winehouse's corpse. The party had taken place just a few months after Winehouse had tragically passed on July 23 due to alcohol poisoning. The singer’s fake corpse reportedly featured a cigarette in its mouth, a placard that read, “The Corpse of Amy Winehouse,”  and a note indicating that the platter included beef ribs, pulled pork, and chicken sausage, according to Variety.

Neil Patrick Harris - “A photo recently resurfaced from a Halloween-themed party my husband and I hosted 11 years ago,” Harris told Entertainment Weekly. “It was regrettable then, and it remains regrettable now. Amy Winehouse was a once-in-a-generation talent, and I’m sorry for any hurt this image caused.”

Kylie Jenner -

Billionaire Kylie Jenner stands accused of being a "climate criminal" in the court of public opinion. The beauty mogul frequently shares her lavish lifestyle on social media and her use of private jets is now being scrutinized. A site that tracks celebrities' private jets caught Jenner taking a 15-minute flight within California to travel around 40 miles, a journey that would have taken roughly 45 minutes by car. Jenner is one of the celebrities (along with her family and the likes of Taylor Swift and Elon Musk) getting called out for using her private jet like a car for convenience despite the major emissions and fuel usage.

Kylie Jenner - At a time when people are dying all over the world due to global-warming-related natural disasters, this blasé use of such a toxic, polluting form of transport has angered many. The backlash only worsened she posted photos bragging about her private jet use on Instagram. One photo showed Jenner and her then-boyfriend Travis Scott hugging on the tarmac between two jets was captioned “you wanna take mine or yours?”

Kim Kardashian -

Following the public criticism of celebrities who use private jets in extremely excessive ways (including for 15-minute trips), Kim Kardashian—one of the accused—decided to speak out, for better or worse. “I believe in climate change, and I believe that anything can help,” she told Interview magazine in a piece published September 6, 2022. “But I also believe in being realistic and I think sometimes there’s so much to worry about on this planet, and it can be really scary to live your life with anxiety."

Kim Kardashian -

The mega-rich reality TV star said she loves “learning” from her “super climate change-involved friends,” but actually practicing what she learns is a different story. "I do what I can, but you have to pick and choose what really works for you in your life,” she said. “No one’s going to be 100 percent perfect." Many online are pointing out that climate change activists aren't asking for perfect, but rather for the world's biggest individual polluters to consider that there are people who don't get to "pick and choose" their circumstances as they suffer the consequences of fuel emissions.

Kim Kardashian -

In another moment, in a Variety profile, the Kardashian-Jenner women discussed making money, their reality TV legacy, and their empire of lifestyle brands. "I have the best advice for women in business," Kim Kardashian said. "Get up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days."

Kim Kardashian -

Her sisters agreed, but many took issue with the business advice online, offended that Kim seemed to imply that people with less economic advantages than her simply aren't working hard enough, meanwhile she grew up with privilege. A few people on Twitter went so far as to share job listings for unpaid internships at what appears to be a company run by the Kardashian-Jenner family, pointing out what they said was the hypocrisy of Kardashian's quote.

Molly-Mae Hague -

Many compared Kim Kardashian's comments to Molly-Mae Hague, the English social media influencer, 'Love Island' runner-up, and former creative director of fast fashion label PrettyLittleThing. Hague has made similar comments in the past about how "we all have the same 24 hours in a day."

Molly-Mae Hague -

She even acknowledged that she's been criticized for saying this because she has grown up without financial struggles, but she maintained on the Diary of a CEO podcast: "It just depends to what lengths you want to go to get where you want to be in the future." Many pointed out that PrettyLittleThing has repeatedly been accused of profiting off unfair labor and social inequality.

Jane Campion -

Jane Campion spoiled what should have been a triumphant moment at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards while accepting an award for directing 'Power of the Dog.' She mentioned she was honored to be in the same room as the Williams sisters, then added, "And you know, Serena and Venus, you are such marvels. However, you do not play against the guys like I have to."

Jane Campion -

Backlash immediately ensued, as many called the comment insulting, unnecessary, and ignorant of the misogynoir that the Williams' sisters face. She apologized the following day for her "thoughtless comment equating what I do in the film world with all that Serena Williams and Venus Williams have achieved." Still, many regard it as an example of white feminism.

Sam Elliott -

Sam Elliott slammed Jane Campion's 'Power of the Dog' (2021) on Marc Maron's 'W T F Podcast.' He criticized all the "allusions to homosexuality throughout the [] movie," and when Maron informed him that those allusions are actually "what the movie is about," the actor only came down harder. "Where's the Western in this Western?" he asked. He added that Campion was unfit to direct a film set in Montana, asking "What does this woman from down there, New Zealand, know about the American West?" and then criticized her choice to shoot the film in her home country. Still not done, Elliott boasted about how he had just come from Texas where he'd been "hanging out with families—not men—but families," with generations of cowboys."

Sam Elliott -

Not only were people online appalled at Elliott's homophobia and toxic masculinity (which, many pointed out, also proved how relevant the film still was to cowboy culture), but they also called him misogynistic and hypocritical to attack Campion for shooting a Western in New Zealand given US audiences' love of Spaghetti Westerns, which were old cowboy movies shot in Italy. For all his complaining about how Campion's film portrays cowboys, Elliott accidentally promoted the film with his fuming response to it. Plus, many are saying that "someone probably needs to remind him he's an actor from Sacramento who lives in Malibu, not an actual cowboy."

Elon Musk -

In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Tesla and SpaceX founder took to Twitter to challenge Russian President Vladimir Putin to fight him. "I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat. Stakes are Ukraine," he tweeted. "Do you accept this fight?" he added in Russian, directly addressing the official English-language Twitter account of the president.

Elon Musk -

Not only did people point out that, as one of the richest people in the world, this was a beyond disappointing contribution, but also an extremely inappropriate one since he proposed the winner would get Ukraine.

John Cena -

After Russia began its violent invasion in Ukraine on February 23, 2022, many stars began expressing anti-war sentiments. 'Peacemaker' star John Cena decided to tweet: "If I could somehow summon the powers of a real life #Peacemaker I think this would be a great time to do so."

John Cena -

Proving that superheroes don't exist in real life, the WWE champion was criticized immediately for using such a horrific real-life situation to promote and hashtag his HBO Max series.

Sean Penn -

In January 2022, Penn complained to UK outlet i News that "there has been an absence of male behavior" and that men in American culture have "become wildly feminized." Thandiwe Newton clapped back on behalf of all feminists: "@SeanPenn Dude what are you SAY-ING??" she wrote on January 30. "Like for REAL? You're a jibbering FOOL. MF you used to be sexy but now you're just tragic."

Sean Penn -

And then she learned that Penn had reiterated his toxic ideas of masculinity in an interview with his daughter Dylan Penn for The Independent. "I have these very strong women in my life who do not take masculinity as a sign of oppression toward them," he added. "There are a lot of, I think, cowardly genes that lead to people surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt." Then Newton tweeted, "In front of your DAUGHTER!? That poor little mite." As for Dylan's opinion? According to the outlet, while her father was speaking she was "quiet, staring into space."

Chrissy Teigen - Chrissy Teigen threw a 'Squid Game'-themed party and had tons of celebrities over to play games based off of the hit South Korean Netflix series. Of course, the stakes weren't nearly so high as life or death, but Teigen shared photos of the event on Instagram, which included games like dunk tank, musical chairs, hide and see, and pin the tail on the donkey. Party planners Wife of the Party decorated her and John Legend's home to look like the set of the show, including the maze staircase, bunk beds, and oversized money-stuffed piggy bank.

Chrissy Teigen - There were also servers dressed as guards with their red jumpsuits and triangle-printed masks, and contestants wore green jumpsuits with numbers on them. Teigen herself dressed as the giant killer "red light, green light" doll, and Legend donned a golden animal mask and robe like one of the VIP members. Numerous people online noted the intense tone-deaf irony of a bunch of rich people enjoying a party based on a show that, at its heart, criticized their level of wealth.

David Guetta -

The French DJ made quite a literal tone-deaf tribute to George Floyd in 2020 at the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement publicity-wise. Guetta was performing on a rooftop in a video where he dedicates the set to Floyd, says "shout-out to his family," then remixed a version of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

David Guetta - People called the video "the whitest way to react to racism" and mocked Guetta for trying to "oontz oontz racism away."

Vanessa Hudgens -

In an Instagram Live video from March 2020,  the actress said quarantining until July 2020 is "a bunch of []" and added, "Yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible, but, like... inevitable?"

Vanessa Hudgens -

Of course, in retrospect these comments are especially bad knowing how many lives the virus took and how many further lockdowns ensued, but Hudgens' nihilism was not appreciated even then when the whole world was trying to avoid unnecessary deaths.

Gal Gadot - The pandemic produced an insufferable amount of highly unrelatable and cringey celebrity content, but none so terrible as Gal Gadot's celebrity-filled 'Imagine' sing-a-long. The video went viral for how tone-deaf it was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gal Gadot -

Two years later—after being heavily mocked as millionaires' response to a global crisis, singing "imagine no possessions" from their mansions—Gadot admitted it was a mistake. "It wasn't the right timing, and it wasn't the right thing. It was in poor taste. All pure intentions, but sometimes you don't hit the bull's-eye, right?"

Kendall Jenner -

Pepsi campaigns have featured celebrities like Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams, Beyoncé, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, and many more, so naturally Kendall Jenner didn't think twice before accepting the opportunity to be in their ad in 2017—though she really should have!

Kendall Jenner -

In the Pepsi ad, Jenner leaves a photoshoot to join protesters calling for peace, then walks up to a police officer in the barricade and hands one a can of Pepsi. He smiles and the crowd cheers, but off screen huge waves of backlash followed, criticizing the ad for centering a privileged, white model as the peacemaker between civil rights activists and police, and for undermining the Black Lives Matter movement.

Ivanka Trump -

In Jamie Johnson's documentary 'Born Rich,' Ivanka Trump spoke about what life was like growing up with a lot of money and at one point irritated viewers with a comment about how her dad's flopped businesses may have left him worse off than even those living on the street.

Ivanka Trump - "I remember once my father and I were walking down Fifth Avenue and there was a homeless person sitting right outside of Trump Tower and I remember my father pointing to him and saying, 'You know, that guy has US$8 billion more than me,' because he was in such extreme debt at that point, you know?" she told the filmmaker.

Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson -

With all the controversy Joe Rogan (pictured) has stirred over his COVID-19 misinformation and repeated use of the N-word over several years on his podcast, he still decided it would be a good idea to have climate change denier and controversial toxic masculinity champion Jordan Peterson on his show, where they discussed race.

© Getty Images

Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson -

As Trevor Noah pointed out on 'The Daily Show,' while Rogan and Peterson (pictured) found issue with what constitutes a black person—with Peterson adding he's not white but in fact "tan"—"Blackness" was something put onto black people, not self-determined, and for two white men to be discussing what constitutes a black person in 2022 without having done any research into the history of race is extremely tone-deaf.

Ellen DeGeneres -

After several allegations of a toxic workplace came out about 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' the host returned for her 18th season with an opening monologue that started with a tone-deaf joke. "How was everybody's summer, good?" Then sarcastically added, "Mine was great."
