For more than a week, the whole country has been discussing a scandal, in the center of which, unwittingly, there was a member of the Russian national football team Artem Dzyuba. And while the public was divided into condemning and defending the athlete, it became known that he was deprived of the captain's armband in the national team and generally decided not to invite him to the training camp. But this is not the only case when black PR turned out to be not in favor of media personalities. Many of them have learned the hard way that high-profile stories can negatively affect their careers.

Artem Dzyuba

Actually, as for Artyom, about whom only the lazy is not talking now. Surely the footballer did not want such attention to his person. But for this he must "thank" the hackers who hacked his phone and leaked videos of an intimate nature to the Network. Moreover, it appeared on Dzyuba's Instagram page. The athlete, of course, removed the content, but, as they say, the personal has already become public domain. And even though Artyom apologized, explaining that he was “imperfect, like any person,” the scandal also affected his career. The head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov stripped him of the captain's armband and did not call him to the matches of the national team, saying that the players should not be distracted by extraneous topics. And at matches with the participation of a football player, now rarely anyone does not point a finger at him. In fact, the athlete did nothing criminal: he did not get drunk behind the wheel, did not participate in fights, like his notorious colleagues in the national team, but it seems that the passions around the football player will not subside soon.

Johnny Depp

More recently, Depp was considered the most successful and highly paid Hollywood actor, but the black streak in his life has been going on for several years and threatens to turn into serious trouble. It all began with the fact that Johnny left his common-law wife Vanessa Paradis and immediately tied the knot with a young actress Amber Heard. However, the union lasted a little over a year. The spouse filed for divorce, who accused her husband of violence and assault. However, then few people believed that Depp could raise his hand to his beloved. But Hurd was able to seize a considerable part of the actor's property. Since then, problems have rained down on the star one after another: bankruptcy due to the actions of the actor's managers and his own extravagance, not the most remarkable roles …

Johnny all this time denied that he beat his wife and a few years later sued The Sun, the first to publish "incriminating" articles against the actor. But in early November, Depp lost the lawsuit. And that's not it. After this news came another, no less sad: it became known that the studio Warner Bros. deprived the star of the role of Grindelwald in "Fantastic Beasts". The company did not explain the reason for this decision, but the public has no doubt that all this is connected with the actor's litigation with his ex-wife, and predicts the end of his career.

Alexey Panin

Once Panin showed great promise in the cinema and did not differ in bad behavior. It is still unknown what caused the actor to literally go crazy. Perhaps his behavior was influenced by the divorce from Yulia Yudintseva, with whom the man could not decide who would raise his common daughter Anya. Alexei even kidnapped the child several times, but the court eventually transferred custody of the girl to her father.

It is also likely that the artist's scandalous behavior is due to the fact that he decided to achieve easy fame in this way. After all, they still talk about him, and in what context it does not matter. So Panin began to destroy a cafe, walk around in what his mother gave birth down the street or in women's underwear, shoot an intimate video with his participation, announce a coming out. Alexei has achieved his goal - everyone is talking about him. Only his name flashes in the press only in connection with new high-profile stories, but the actor has not appeared in films for a long time. Apparently, the directors are not eager to work with a man whose name is synonymous with scandals and extravagant acts.

Harvey Weinstein

Perhaps the story of Harvey Weinstein is one of the most striking examples of how a person can lose in just one moment. Until a few years ago, he was considered the most influential producer in Hollywood, who created the large film company The Weinstein. However, 2017 was a turning point for the man: more than 50 women accused him of sexual harassment, including such famous actresses as Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and others.

It was then that they took Weinstein seriously: he was fired from the company he created, deprived of his membership in film academies, everyone turned away from him, including his wife and brother. True, it was not possible to put Harvey behind bars: all the charges were based on words, and no evidence of guilt was provided. The maximum that was achieved was to forcibly send a man for treatment for sexual addiction. Thus, a person who recently was almost a god in the Star Factory became nothing.

Robert Downey Jr

The career of a Hollywood actor was rather uneven: success, oblivion, super success. Moreover, the actor is to blame for what happened to him in the late 90s. After all, he was already addicted to alcohol and drugs in childhood, and with the advent of fame, the addiction only intensified. Robert was stopped more than once for drunk driving and illegal substances were found in his possession. However, the star was forgiven by everyone, because films with his participation were a great success.

But the directors' patience ran out after Downey Jr. was once again imprisoned for drug possession. Because of this, his wife left him, and the filmmakers no longer wanted to deal with him.

The actor practically did not act in films for more than ten years, and it was already possible to say that his career had come to an end. But love pulled the man out of the pool: for the sake of producer Susan Levin, Robert agreed to undergo treatment. And the real reincarnation of the actor took place after he was approved for the main role in the film "Iron Man".

Mel Gibson

Another actor who could not resist the green serpent was Mel Gibson. Moreover, the man not only drank a lot, but often carried outright delirium in a drunken stupor. But for the time being, no one paid attention to his chaotic speech (you never know what a drunk person will say). However, one day Gibson went too far.

Having drunk again, the actor got behind the wheel, and when he was stopped, he blamed all the troubles, including his own, the Jews. After this incident, Mel could not find a job for almost ten years. And only in 2016, when he presented his directorial work "For reasons of conscience" to the public, it became clear that the fans forgave him.

Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev

In the fall of 2018, the football players Kokorin and Mamaev decided to celebrate another anniversary of friendship, but they celebrated in such a way that they ended up in prison. In one evening, drunken athletes staged two fights, destroyed a cafe and ruined someone else's car.

As a result, the court sentenced the furious athletes to real prison terms, and their clubs declared that such behavior was unacceptable for the players. In the fall of 2019, Kokorin and Mamaev were released on parole, and this summer the latter was acquitted under the article “Hooliganism”. Now the guilty stars continue to play with their teams, but it is indisputable that the high-profile story had a strong impact on their image, and they can only dream of being called up to the national team.

Lindsey Lohan

Lindsay learned about fame as a child, starting to appear in commercials at the age of three. And then Disney noticed her, and Lohan instantly turned into a teen idol. But even becoming an adult, the girl was not lost, having established herself as a good actress. It would seem that she has every chance of becoming a superstar, but in 2007, a streak of failures began.

Lindsay was once stopped for drunk driving. And this was only the beginning: the girl was more than once accused of possession of illegal substances, brawls and inappropriate behavior. She tried to heal, but again she failed. As a result: Lohan has not been in films for a long time, and her name flashes only in the secular chronicles in connection with the next scandals.
