It is undoubted that celebrities, thanks to their astronomical income, lead luxury life in the spotlight. Every day, we can easily come across news of multi-million real estate or private jets purchased by Hollywood stars and trust me, everyone is obsessed with these kinds of news. However, just as fans are interested in celebrities' glamorous lifestyles, we are equally drawn to their every scandal and controversy. Just one bad moment, coupled with media scrutiny, can land the whole admirable career into dust. From Halle Berry to Macaulay Culkin, these are the famous stars who were crushed by fame and are no longer as well-known.

Born on September 3, 1965, Charlie Seen was once a famous actor. He first rose to stardom with his unforgettable performances in Two and a Half Men, which nominated him for Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy, Anger Management, and The Three Musketeers. The Emmy nominee had 3 marriages and all of them had come to an end after a few years.

Sadly, his prime years did not last long as he was convicted of alcohol and drug abuse, not to mention domestic violence. What made it worse was his offensive comments on Two and a Half Men creator and the news that he had HIV positive.

The top comedian Martin Lawrence was born on April 16, 1965. He was widely known for his acting in a lot of blockbusters including Bad Boys, Big Momma’s House, and the TV show Martin. Lawrence has 3 children after going through 2 marriages that did not last longer than 2 years

Unfortunately, the Bad Boys star completely lost his popularity after the mid-90s because of several allegations including violence and sexual harassment. He was even seen carrying a gun while shouting at cars that he crashed on Ventura Boulevard.

Born on August 14, 1966, Halle Berry is an actress with impressive tributes. She was awarded the admirable Best Actress Oscar after her remarkable acting in Marc Forster’s Monster Ball in 2002. Halle Berry also set the record to be the first black woman to win this prize. Throughout her career, the X-Men star is the recipient of several accolades and prizes.

However, the mother of 2 children started to lose her lights in the early 2000s. It was when she had to be under 3 years of probation and perform 200 hours of community service for crashing a woman with a car and then running away. The actress was reprimanded for her ‘gross negligence’ and ‘torturous infliction of emotional distress’. Her career slump was also attributable to the wrong choice of films, with disasters such as Cat Woman, Movie 43, and Dark Tide.

This man needs no introduction, as fans of the silver screen have always loved his portrayal of Peter Parker. Born on June 27, 1975, Tobey Maguire is not only an actor but also a film producer, who reigned supreme after playing the main character in the Spider-Man trilogy between 2002 and 2007. It was thanks to Tobey's excellent performance that Spider-Man became one of the most successful Marvel movies of all time.

Unfortunately, because the shadow of his most successful role was too big to surpass, he has struggled to show the audience his real aptitudes and what he can do. Moreover, the downfall of Tobey Maguire’s career also came from illegal gambling which was worth millions of dollars.

Born on December 31, 1969, Val Kilmer is an American actor. He was a play entertainer before shooting to prominence with his fantastic roles in the mega-hit Batman Forever, and many action movies called Top Gun, Tombstone, The Doors, and more. Without a doubt, Val Kilmer was once one of the most popular celebrities in the 1990s with great influence. During his glorious days, in 1996, the Batman actor divorced Joanne Whalley, when they already had 2 children.

Throughout the years, however, the 62-year-old star has gradually lost his place in Hollywood since it is rumored that he is pretty mean on sets with the disagreeable attitude, harsh words, and troubles that he caused.

The Queen of Rap, Lil’ Kim, was born on July 11, 1974. She was a household name as a rapper and a familiar face on reality television shows. After she divorced Mr.Papers after 2 years of marriage in 2014, she has now reconnected with him in 2020 with their 2 children. Thanks to her popularity, Kim used to reign supreme on several Billboard charts in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

However, when Kim was at the pinnacle of her career, a series of unfortunate problems came to her. She was once sentenced to 1-year imprisonment for telling lies as a witness in a shooting case. Kim also takes too many plastic surgeries that people find it impossible to recognize her. Shockingly, the former Billboard Queen did not pay her taxes for almost 7 years, which piled up to over 1 million dollars.

Born on July 31, 1962, Wesley Snipes is an actor and a famous film producer. He challenged himself in different genres, one of which was the hit action movie Blade. It boosted him to be on the top of Hollywood with an impressive net worth. Turning to television, he gained attention through the show called The Player. Snipes has 5 children after 2 marriages with April Dubois and Nakyung Park.

Over the years, however, the popularity of the Blade star was not so stable and ended pretty sadly. Wesley Snipes was convicted of tax fraud and served 3 years in prison in 2009. Since then, people have only seen him in small and insignificant projects such as Cut Throat City, The Recall, and Armed Response.

The once-called Disney Princess, Lindsay Lohan, was born on July 2, 1986. Lindsay took part in several movies since she was small, but her popularity officially upsurged in 1998 when she shone in The Parent Trap of Walt Disney Pictures. Another success appeared when the role of Cady Heron in Mean Girls came to her, which marked the beginning of her prime time.

Unfortunately, the promising actress could not maintain her time long enough as she was accused of several crimes, including DUI, careless driving, and shoplifting. The producers and directors today have no interest in hiring her due to her notorious way of behaving on set.

Born on January 24, 1986, Mischa Barton is an actress working in all types of productions, from film to television and stage. With the support from the show The O.C, she became one of the most sought-after entertainers on television in the mid-2000s. Mischa's other prominent films include American Beach House, Sixth Sense, Notting Hill, and Spree.

Sadly, Mischa's prime ended early after her DUI case was revealed to the public in 2007. The O.C actress was also convicted for 3 more crimes, besides DUI, including drinking while driving, illegal driving that had no consent, and illegal control of marijuana. Furthermore, the last straw that resulted in her career's slump was the sex tape scandal in 2017 that her ex-boyfriend cheated her into.

Everyone knows him - the quick-witted, cunning kid in the Christmas signature film Home Alone. Born on August 26, 1980, Macaulay Culkin is an American actor with his career starting from an early age. His role as Kevin McCallister in the Home Alone series was really a hot topic in the past, which turned him into one of the most idolized child stars in Hollywood American television.

Promising future as it would, however, a life-changing moment for him sadly happened in 2004 when marijuana and prescription drugs were found in his place. Over the years, the child star disappeared from the public eyes, only starring in independent, small projects. In 2014, the old ‘Kevin’ was also seen kissing a man on the camera, which shocked his fans as he has had two marriages with one child.
