Tiger Woods had a series of contracts canceled when an old sc@ndal was suddenly dug up (video)
There’s no denying Tiger Woods’ absolute dominance as a professional golfer, so much so that he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2022.
But just as renowned as he was for his contribution to the sport, his name grew to be more synonymous with horrific scandals that all but cost him his career.
While Tiger Woods was and still is a hot topic of discussion, there are other celebrities whose scandals almost turned them into a memory.
Some of these stars have gotten a taste of what it feels like to almost fall from grace, and their plunder has followed them around like a dark shadow.
Here are some of the celebrities who, along with Tiger Woods, were almost canceled due to their names being associated with their scandals more than their careers.
Tiger Woods is, unquestionably, the most celebrated professional golfer of his generation and, some may argue, of all time.
Not only is he one of the richest athletes of all time, boasting a net worth of $1.1 billion, but he is also attached to one of the worst cheating scandals in celebrity history.
At the height of his success in 2009, Woods was exposed for an extramarital affair with a woman named Rachel Uchitel, while married to Elin Nordegren.
As per SportsKeeda, these are some of the other scandals that cost Tiger Woods his reputation:
Once the Tiger Woods infidelity was brought to light, his reputation quickly changed for the worse as his story dominated the global news.
According to Ice 36, he lost many of his endorsement deals as a result, and Google recorded 4,820 Tiger Woods searches related to the scandal.
His most recent public disgrace was when his then-girlfriend, Erica Herman, sued him for $30 million on claims of sexual harassment.
In October 2022, comedian James Corden outdid Tiger Woods when he expressed his not-so-funny side after making a rude comment to a server at a restaurant.
The Late Show host was accused by New York’s Balthazar restaurant owner, Keith Mcnally, as being “his most abusive customer” in 25 years, according to BuzzFeed News.
After revealing his negative experience with the British comedian in an Instagram post, he went on to state that Corden was forever banned from the restaurant.
Keith McNally further explained in the Instagram post that James Corden was “extremely nasty” to his staff on more than one occasion.
However, since that incident, there seems to be no end to other industry personalities describing Corden as rude and difficult to work with.
And although he called McNally to apologize about his behavior, prompting him to lift the ban
It has left a bad taste in the mouths of Corden’s fans and those he works with professionally.
He is the most infamous celebrity on this list because of this incident, resulting in over 7,000 Google searches of his name relating to the restaurant scandal.
The former Maroon 5 lead vocalist and guitarist, Adam Levine, is a legend in the music world as Tiger Woods is in professional golf.
In September 2022, his public life would be turned upside down similarly when an Instagram model, Summer Stroh, went public about their year-long affair.
US Weekly tells us that she said, “I was young, I was naive… I was very easily manipulated.”
Levine confessed to engaging in flirtatious texts with Stroh, but sternly denied any accusations of having an affair.
As if that wasn’t damaging enough to his reputation, two more women came forward with accusations that Adam Levine sent them flirtatious texts.
However, despite the multiple accusations against him, Levine and his wife confirmed one year later that they are still together.
But the damage had already been done the moment he confessed to sending the flirtatious texts to the young model.
While Tiger Woods got canceled by some of his sponsors following his cheating scandal, Ellen DeGeneres literally got her show canceled in May 2022 after nearly decades on television.
Well, to be specific, she announced that she would be walking away from the show.
But her decision came after the staff on her show came forth with allegations of working under toxic workplace conditions, such as racism and a hostile work environment.
However, the reason Ellen DeGeneres gave for wanting to leave the show was because it wasn’t a challenge for her anymore.
But the truth was that the show’s ratings plummeted after the accusations were made by her staff.
According to BuzzFeed News, 36 former employees with additional accusations of “harassment, sexual misconduct, and assault from top producers.”
Her name was searched on Google 4,300 times in connection with the scandal.
Unlike Tiger Woods, Mel Gibson has been under fire for many years, mainly because of his political and religious views.
