List of stars who fell from grace: These are 2025's most disliked celebrities

The world of celebrity is both; blessing and a curse - one moment you're on top, ruling hearts of millions and with a blink of eye you fall from the grace, landing on the infamous "most hated" list.

Whether due to personal reason, a publicity stunt, ego issues, or being wrongfully framed, in this article, you will explore list of 2025's most disliked stars:

Blake Lively

Blake Lively, a well-known personality and wife of Ryan Reynolds, once used to attend parties with her best pal, Taylor Swift.

She often found herself in the spotlight, thanks to her celebrity status.

Everything seemed in a great direction for the 35-year-old actress’ career as she not only starred in highly acclaimed novel-based movie It Ends with Us but also launched series of ventures including a hair care line and the beverage brands.

However, in December 2024, Lively initiated a legal battle with her It Ends with Us  costar-director, Justin Baldoni, in which she accused him of sexual harassment, causing her “severe emotional distress” and starting a “smear campaign” against her on social media.

The whole legal dispute between the costars definitely generated some negative attention and controversy, with the Another Simple Favor actress facing a worsening PR nightmare in 2025.

It's evident that this he-said-she-said feud is majorly harming both stars’ public appeal, mostly Lively’s reputation as she and the Anti-Hero singer, who have known to be best friends, are not even on talking term.

Kanye West

Whenever his name pops up, mind directly diverts to another controversy. The rapper, also known as Ye was once considered “un-cancelable”, however, few years has been rocky for him specially 2025.

From posting anti-Semitic remarks on his social media account and showcasing strange behaviour and provocative stunts, to gatecrashing the Grammys with his wife Bianca Censori, and dropping a track that features his daughter North alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs and his son Christian “King” Combs, the rapper has done and dusted every outrageous thing imaginable.

So far this year, the ex-husband of Kim Kardashian sparked outrage by selling offensive shirts featuring a hate symbol on his website, once again posted erratically on his social media account and released a song named Heil Hitler, which was released on May 8, the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

This led a huge spark among many people who even signed a petition to cancel his due performance in the festival at the Rubicon Festival.

Meghan Markle

According to a new viral poll, the Duchess of Sussex has been ranked the #2 most hated celebrity of 2025.

Born Rachel Meghan Markle, the American-born actress' life took a dramatic U-turn after she married Prince Harry and became a member of the British royal family.

However, the 44-year-old former actress’ fairytale life as a royal was short-lived as in 2020, she and the Duke of Sussex stepped back from their royal duties, due to creative differences with the royal family.

Since then, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seen their public standing crashed over the past few years, with Meghan's numbers being dropped the most.

Earlier this year, her public image suffered as some see her as disconnected from her roots. 

As per May 2025, only 20 percent of British people now hold a positive opinion of her, while 65 percent view her unfavourably.

Even recently her along with Prince Harry’s £100 million deal with Netflix has reportedly been scrapped.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the name is enough to see why he's considered one of the most hated celebrities of 2025.

The disgraced music mogul was once considered a highly influential public figure, an entrepreneur; in short ruling with strong connections in the entertainment industry.

However, his unmatched power struck badly in 2023 after one of his ex-girlfriends, Cassie Ventura filed case of sexual misconduct against him.

This led to the cops searching his homes which opened another Pandora box of his crimes including racketeering, trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion.

This did not stop there, Combs was also involved in alleged criminal enterprise involving forced labour, and kidnapping, and not to mention his so-called “Freak Offs.”

"It's undoubtedly true that Sean “Diddy” Combs is indeed 2025's most disliked celebrity by a wide margin.

Ezra Miller

The The Flash actor’s career started relatively on good note with some of their early work being premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor, who uses they/them pronouns, garnered significant attention after their character in the DC Extended Universe.

The actor, who had been embroiled in numerous controversies in the past, earlier this year faced accusation of grooming a minor.

Miller was also accused of violence against women which severely damaged the actor’s image, making them highly disliked.

Chris Brown

Not single, but the American rapper has a prolonged history of being highly criticised which roots from 2009 when he was accused of assaulting Rihanna.

His recent allegations of violence, which have sparked debates, was during his win at Grammy for 11:11 (Deluxe), with many questioning the ethics of honouring artists with violent pasts as in 2023, Brown allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw at a London nightclub.

The 36-year-old rapper stroke the producer with a tequila bottle, causing him severe injuries. 

Later in 2024, the Under The Influence rapper was sued for $15 million over the same incident, with Abe Diaw alleging that Brown's actions left him with permanent damage and severe emotional distress.

Apart from violent assault lawsuit, the controversial rapper has also been accused of raping a woman on Sean "Diddy" Combs' yacht in 2020.

Katy Perry

Once a beloved musician, Perry’s 2025 might not turn out well as she expected.

In 2025, the Roar hitmaker faced immense online hate after she participated in the Blue Origin space flight in March, with many viewing her spaceflight as tone-deaf.

In no time, the E.T. songstress kicked off her Lifetimes Tour which itself faced scrutiny on major level with some finding it to be low-budget and unimpressive.

Karla Sofía Gascón

Karla Sofía Gascón, who rose to prominence with her role in Emilia Pérez, built a career initially as a male actor in Mexican telenovelas.

She then transitioned as a transgender actress Karla Sofia Gascón in 2018 after battling gender dysphoria and trauma for years.

In one of her interviews, she declared that she took the decision because she was suicidal, leading her to give up her white male, fame-adjacent actor status, with its privileges, at the age of 46 in 2018.

Things worked pretty fine for the transgender actress until last year when she made history as the first openly transgender person being nominated in an acting category at the Oscars.

Many social media users were already irked by the Academy’s decision to nominate a transgender actress under a acting category for female actors, hence, her achievement was soon overshadowed by series of controversies landing her into hot waters.

Gascón initially faced criticism for her social media comments about Best Picture nominee “I’m Still Here” and fellow Best Actress contender Fernanda Torres.

Within no time her older offensive posts started resurfacing, which included insensitive remarks about George Floyd and Islam.

This led Gascón deleting the posts and deactivating her X account, however, it was too late for the transgender actress as the controversy had already taken its toll.

Rachel Zegler

The actress at just 24 faced immense criticism. It all began after she was cast in Snow White movie.

Initially, Zegler's casting in the film was fiercely criticised, with critics arguing that her ethnicity wasn't a good fit for the role, given the original Snow White's pale skin.

Later in 2022, during a press conference, the Scream actress openly criticised the original Disney movie, calling it outdated and sexist.

Moreover, the Y2K performer and her movie co-star, Gal Gadot also clashed over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and denounced Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

Public support for Zegler hit rock bottom when Snow White, which had its theatrical release in March 2025, became a box office bomb, struggling to reach $200 million worldwide against $209 million budget.

JoJo Siwa

Famous for her Boomerang, Karma and Choose Ur Fighter, the singer and reality TV star is considered one of the most polarising figures in entertainment this year.

The Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition star initially came out as lesbian as part of the LGBTQ+ community in January 2021 at the age of 17.

She has ever since identified herself as pansexual, lesbian, and queer and has been open about her journey, gaining many followers form the community which made her more famous due to inclusivity.

However, in 2025, her drastic image overhauled her "Dream Guest VIP" concert package was being sold at over $900, which sparked a mixed reaction from the public.

The during her time on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April 2025, she suddenly realised that she no longer identifies as a lesbian, hence, considers herself queer, sparking huge outrage and debate among LGBTQ+ fans.

While defending her statement about her feelings regarding her own gender identity and sexuality, Siwa explained, “I think that's the thing, I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, and I think being here I've realised, 'Oh, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer,' and I think that's really cool.”

Jojo Siwa's dramatic decision to identify as queer has been met with mixed reactions, has made her to the list of most hated celebrities of this year.

Jada Pinkett Smith

Last but not the least on the list is Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of Will Smith.

Her work as a producer and director is well-known; however, controversies surrounding her name never leave her alone.

Her name caught more attention after her husband created a scene at 2022 Oscars, slapping host, Chris Rock.

She mostly faced criticism for publicly discussing her unconventional marriage with Smith, including infidelity.

Additionally, her parenting choices, particularly regarding Jaden's gender-fluid fashion and the couple's decision not to punish their children, ultimately made her the most hated celebrity of the year.
