All All. Sign In. Lost Respect For. Celebrities that I once respected but have lost respect for over the years.
The reasons are varied. Some of them I still respect their talent, but many of them the main reason I lost respect for them is their insistence on trying to push their views and beliefs on the American people. When I watch a celebrity on reality television, in a movie or series, I watch them to be entertained.
I don't buy records or choose a movie or series based on what the people believe. I don't care that they have their own set of beliefs -- they are entitled to them as anyone else -- but I hate when celebrities, musicians, sports stars, etc. It has caused me to lose respect to so many over the years. I still enjoy their music, films, etc. There are many other reasons but that is number 1 for me. List activity. Kathy Griffin.
