4. Aaron Carter
Aaron Carter was a certified teen heartthrob.
When he burst onto the scene during the mid-2000s on the heels of his brother Nick Carter’s Backstreet Boys fame, he had all the teen girls in a tizzy.
Fast forward a decade later, and Carter is now tabloid fodder for his alarming weight loss, bankruptcy, and arrests.
Thankfully, Carter went to rehab and seems to be doing much better now.
5. Lindsey Lohan
In the early 2000s, pop culture had three queen bees – Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton.
While Britney and Paris managed to hold onto their celebrity and wealth, Lohan’s star took a nosedive soon after what would become one of her most memorable additions to pop culture, Mean Girls.
Between her arrests, problems with sobriety, and forgettable movies, Lindsey’s star has fallen a long way indeed.
But if there’s one thing we know about pop stars, it’s that they don’t stay down for long.
6. Amanda Bynes
What kid in the early aughts didn’t watch the Nickelodeon variety show All That?
It was wacky, it was fun, and it starred actress Amanda Bynes in all her multifaceted glory.
By 2010, however, Bynes had retired from acting.
And by 2012, she was well on the way to a full-on nervous breakdown, which ended in her being committed on a 72-hour hold, and her parents gaining conservatorship over her.
