7. Matt Lauer
Matt Lauer once ruled the roost at NBC.
He was the king of daytime, co-hosting the Today show with a revolving cast of cohosts, including Ann Curry, who he notably had fired.
When it emerged that Lauer had sexually harassed his colleagues and workmates over the years and that he even had a button for locking women in his office, Lauer’s career went sideways faster than Donald Trump’s toupee going up Air Force One.
8. DMX
Whatever happened to DMX? No, really – what the heck happened to the man who was the most promising rapper in the game?
In the early 2000’s the rough-voiced rapper was darn near ubiquitous with his distinctive vocal growl.
By 2010, nothing.
The rapper has been in and out of jail for the better part of a decade over a myriad of offenses including resisting arrest, falsifying identity, animal cruelty, reckless driving, drug possession, etc.
How the mighty have fallen, aye?
9. Lance Armstrong
Can you believe Lance Armstrong was ever a thing?
The former professional cyclist won the Tour de France seven times in a row and had people wearing those yellow Livestrong bracelets like it was the hottest new thing.
Oh, and he also beat cancer, which meant he was a national treasure.
Well, turns out that national treasure was doping, so he had his championships, and Tour de France wins voided in short order, and his name dropped from his own foundation.
He’s now persona non grata, and is being sued by countless entities for fraud to the tune of $100 million.
