10 Celebs Who Were Blacklisted from Hollywood

In Hollywood, there are celebs that are favored for various reasons. It seems that some have a golden ticket to all of the best films and television shows. But there are some celebs who have become less fortunate. One thing that can totally end a career of a celebrity is getting blacklisted. No celeb wants to end up on the bad side of the decision-makers in Hollywood. But some of the most successful celebs have ended up getting barred from working in some of the best movies, to which they had grown accustomed. The reasons for getting blacklisted vary, and can range from altercations with other celebrities, committing terrible crimes, or just getting on the bad side of some important people. Some of these celebs on this list may surprise you, but you may realize that you have not seen them featured in much for a while. Check out these celebs who were blacklisted from Hollywood.

Kevin Spacey

One of the more recent celebs who was blacklisted is Kevin Spacey. He came under fire after actor Anthony Rapp came forward in 2017 with claims that Spacey had sexually assaulted him, all while Rapp was underage. Shortly after, other actors came forward with similar claims.

Bill Cosby

Another actor who was blacklisted for similar allegations is Bill Cosby. Cosby was accused of sexual assault by several women, beginning in 2014. He was imprisoned in 2018 and served time until 2021.

Roman Polanski

Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski became very well known for his talents in Hollywood. That came crashing down in 1977 when he was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. He fled the US – and still makes films in Europe – but will be jailed if he ever returns to the states.

Roseanne Barr

Roseanne was all the rage decades ago with her hit sitcom by the same name. She was set to revive the show back in 2018 but was blasted for tweeting a racial slur about one of President Obama’s advisers, Valerie Jarrett.
