We might be fans of their art form and work, but that gives them no right to go out speaking crap on thin-skinned issues. Here are 15 times quotes of our favorite celebrities who opened their mouths and sparked controversies from the appalling crap that came out:
1. GWYNETH PALTROW on lifestyle
“I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.”
2. SEAN CONNERY on domestic violence
“I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman – although I don’t recommend doing it in the same way that you’d hit a man. An open-handed slap is justified – if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning.”
3. ROSEANNE BARR on her racist tweet
“I wish I worded it better.”
4. QUINCY JONES on The Beatles
“They were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing mother****s. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about it.”
5. THE DALAI LAMA on companions
“If a female Dalai Lama come, then she must be very attractive. Otherwise not much use.”
6. T.I on female leaders
“Not to be sexist, but I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman. Every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But, the president? I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally”
7. PHIL JACKSON’s generational hate
“I don’t mean to say [that] as a snide remark toward a certain population in our society, but they have a limitation of their attention span, a lot of it probably due to to much rap music going in their ears and coming out their being.”
8. ROB THOMAS’s racist joke
“I’ve been [on the road] for so long, I’ve got the jet lag figured out. What you do is, when you get on the plane on your way here, you start drinking. And then drink until I think I’m Australian, and I keep drinking until I think I’m a black Australian”
9. LEBRON JAMES’s homophobia
“With teammates, you have to be trustworthy, and if you’re gay and you’re not admitting that you are, then you are not trustworthy.”
10. JUSTIN BIEBER on his style
“I have a swagger coach that helps me and teaches me different swaggerific things to do… He has helped me with my style and just putting different pieces together and being able to layer and stuff like that.”
11. JOHNNY DEPP on photoshoots
“Well, you just feel like you’re being raped somehow.”
13. CHRISSY HYNDE on rape
“If I’m very modestly dressed and I’m keeping to myself and someone attacks me, then I’d say that’s his fault. But if I’m putting it about and being provocative, then you are enticing someone who’s already unhinged – don’t do that. Come on! That’s just common sense.”
14. KIRK CAMERON on gay marriage
“It’s unnatural. I think that it’s detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so any of the foundations of civilization.”
15. AMBER ROSE’s needs and want
“As women, we’re fortunate enough to use our seductive skills in order to be able to get money from our significant others. I know it might sound messed up, but once you get to that point, it’s not using a man, it’s literally getting what you want by any means necessary.
