Although a free man at the time, OJ has since been convicted of other charges and is being
held in prison until at least 2017.

6- Mel Gibson- This unstable actor made headlines in 2006, when he made very disparaging, anti-Semitic remarks to a police officer who pulled him over for drunk driving. In 2010, he was in the news again when a slew of phone calls were released between Gibson and his girlfriend. In the recordings, Gibson can be heard verbally assaulting the woman in an endless rant.

5- Tiger Woods- Tiger Woods seemed to have it all. He was the golden boy of the golfing world and had a beautiful wife to boot. And then in 2009 he was accused of having an affair. And once he was accused of having one affair, a dozen other women came forward. He briefly dropped out of golf and lost several sponsors.

4- Joe Paterno- Penn State coach Joe Paterno was dubbed the greatest college football coach in history. Then, in 2011 his defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky was arrested for committing several acts of child abuse. It was later uncovered that Paterno knew about the abuse, alerted his supervisor and then did nothing – allowing Sandusky access to Penn State facilities and to children. Paterno was fired and died soon after.

3- Aaron Hernandez- Having had his share of trouble with firearms and the law, Hernandez’s lifestyle was bound to catch up with him eventually.

In April of 2015 he was found guilty and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

2- Lindsay Lohan – Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay… As a child she was praised for her natural acting talent and everyone predicted big things for her in the future. Unfortunately, her future has dealt her a very different hand. Alcohol, DUI’s, drugs and a litany of legal issues has turned the once feisty redhead into another child star cautionary tale. Although she’s acted in a few duds and has done some theater, Lindsay is definitely not the “It girl” everyone expected.

1-Bill Cosby- Talk about the mighty falling. Bill Cosby was once called “America’s Dad” and was so beloved by the public that the recent news of his sexual abuse towards women has thrown everyone for a loop. Over 50 women have come forward alleging that they were all drugged and abused by Cosby. There are still those who stand by Cosby and believe in his innocence, but the fact remains that we will never be able to look at Bill Cosby the same way again.
