We’re Done: Celebrities We Lost Respect For In 2012

December 31st, 2012 - By Meg Butler

This year was full of drama from all sides, but some celebrities took the foolishness way too far; consequently, we’ll never look at them the same again. Here are 15 famous folks we lost respect for in 2012 and who we hope can get their ish together in 2013.

Too Short

Dirty lyrics are one thing, but Short crossed the line when he gave gross and probably illegal advice to young men on how to take it “to the hole.”

The details are too gross to include here and, thankfully, XXL took the video off their website shortly after this was published, but the “fatherly guidance” included graphic details on what to do with your fingers when you’re alone with a girl. I don’t know how anyone could buy another XXL or Too Short track after that.

    Staci Dash is awesome. At least she has the right to chose and I respect that. Who are you to judge who we should respect and not respect?! I don’t respect you for judging!

  • carlo coalfield

    I’m glad no one with a half a brain reads this POS rag.

  • white girl

    You lost respect for Keyshia Cole for being mixed? Wow, way to be racist!

  • white girl

    You lost respect for her because of her political stance??? That just makes you an idiot.

  • TheDirty

    Meg, we’d like to take it to your hole.

  • Fieldsish

    It is ridiculous to put Stacey Dash on this list of abusers and instigators for voting Republican. Or don’t people of color have the right to make up their own minds?

  • disqus_4eQFR71hg0

    Aww so Stacey Dash is on here because she didnt vote for her own kind even though hes a communist? The chicken head that wrote this garbage is an idiot and should really get over her self righteous self.

  • Mister Dramaless

    That was the saddest reason for a top 10 of ANYTHING selection I’ve ever seen, at any time ever! I am a proud Barack Obama voter, however feeling loss of respect because someone voted for Mitt Romney is really sad. I haven’t completed viewing this list yet but to be consistent, I hope I also see Charles Barkley, LL Cool J and 50 Cent. If any other website had a top 10 disappointed list and Betty White on theirs, because she voted for Obama, Al Sharpton would have already contacted that website management. Worst of all I am sure there are a lot of followers here who will take what is mentioned here, believe it and have negative feelings towards Stacey Dash forever. Martin Luther King didn’t fight long and hard for for us( black folk) to feel that way. maybe she voted for Mitt Romney because she was in a Republicans tax bracket. Should really reconsider this one here. Nothing’s gonna ever get better if you continue to feet that way.

  • Sarah

    Sorry, you cannot both believe that abortion is murder and a justifiable “choice”… Just OWN it, and quit the bs. OR, I guess murder isn’t such a big deal to you. Hmm.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_QBVEOYZLQLQM3U2SWBE46I3MKY Nichele

      Sorry, but you absolutely can be both pro-choice and anti-abortion.

      I also believe that life begins at conception, but I’m pro-choice because I believe that every woman has a right to do with her own body as she pleases. If she wants to have an abortion, that’s her business, not mine. I may not agree with her, because I DO believe she’s carrying a living child—not just a fetus—but again, that’s none of my business.

      I fail to see how there’s a conflict here.

      • Lautrec American

        So, you support the murder of innocent unborn children, but you’re against it. You’re flip-flopping. How does Jesus feel about abortion…or do you care? One day we will all stand before God, whether you like it or not. whether you believe it or not. Maybe by then you will finally understand.

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_QBVEOYZLQLQM3U2SWBE46I3MKY Nichele

          See, now you’re twisting my words. I don’t support abortion itself, I support each woman being able to make her own decision. That’s not flip-flopping, because the act itself and a woman’s right to choose for herself are two different things.

          For example, I have an aunt who had an abortion a few years ago. I don’t agree with her choice to do so, but the thing of it is, it was HER choice and her decision to make. And I don’t think anyone—most especially the government—has the right to take the choice away from her.

          As for what Jesus/the Bible says, do you really want to get into a war of words over the Bible? I can just as easily point out that the Bible also says that a) we’re not supposed to judge, and b) we’re supposed to love others as ourselves.

          See how easy it is to skew Scripture and take it out of context to support your position?

          Besides, I’m a Christian too (in fact, I graduated from an Evangelical university, and there were numerous people who had a similar position to mine), and I don’t think my position is in conflict with my faith. Sorry. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.

          • Ricky Jimenez

            actually the bible says we are not to judge unto condemnation, but it does call us to call sin sin and judge our brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact Corinthians instructs us to “put out” anyone who is knowingly, willingly, and openly living a habitually sinful life. You come from a Christian college, but you fail to espouse Christian beliefs. You have taken a “cut and paste” approach to your faith. A little of this, a dash of that, but none of that judging stuff, or none of that accountability stuff. Paul the apostle calls you a “carnal” Christian. People treat sin as if it were something that comes in different sizes and degrees of severity. The Bible says nothing like that. Sin is sin, period. In reality, sin is anything that displeases God. When you choose the flesh, over God, you are being selfish. All sin is the result of selfishness.

              Who gives a $hit what the bible says?

              • Denise68

                The majority of the free world. Atheists are in the minority if you haven’t heard.

                • Seeker

                  That doesn’t mean the bible is true or that a deity exist simply because a large majority of people like to think so. At a time the majority of people also thought Zeus existed along with many other mythological beings. So what?

                • Asinus

                  No, not a majority. That is a flat-out lie.

              • aztectrumpet

                When people use it out of context and distort it to support topics that christianity is generally against, it helps to put it back into context. Religion isn’t even the reason to outlaw abortions. It is because they are murder.

            • Tori

              Amen

          • eyepatch

            A human life is not a choice, period. The government has every right to protect it’s citizens from harm. It’s called the law. That’s why murder, and other things, are illegal. No one wants to be told by the government what they can and can’t do. It’s absolutely appropriate for the government to do so, however, when you “choices” harm others, damage their property, or infringe on their freedom. I feel for your aunt and the situation she found herself in a few years ago, but unless she was forced, she made her choice. Instead of taking responsibility for her actions she took the easy way out, and in so doing ended a life. What makes her life more valuable than the one she ended? It’s disgraceful that this is legal in this (or any other) country. If she was unwilling or unable to raise the baby then that’s fine. There are plenty of people who would love to adopt it and raise the child. It’s interesting how little emphasis that particular “Choice” is given at planned parenthood.

            • Rachel

              Well said.

            • Tori

              Had a friend that worked at PPH.. and she said that they had a monthly quota . She was a counselor for PPH.. Most girls that go there are under pressure of Family, boyfriend to even understand what they are doing.. Of course my friend was fired for ‘changing’ the girls mind.. So there you have it. They are there to Kill, nothing more.

              • Nunya

                Ha ha i think Your friend is just mad she got fired I know many different people that work there , and I know that’s b.s. L.m.a.o. You people who want to call abortion murder and bring god and religion into it crack me up, just reminds me the idiots society is made up of.

              • Robin

                After you change their minds, who takes care of that kid, Tori? An unwanted child is still a child, and far more important to the world as a whole than a fetus. Why so much obsession with the unborn and so little attention paid to those of us who are here already and in need of help? You anti-choice types need to spend some time with a social worker to see the reality of the life of an unwanted, neglected child. Then, look into adopting or at least mentoring someone in need, rather than rushing to judge desperate young women in crisis. Let’s focus on sexual education and preventing pregnancy in the first place instead.

          • susie

            You call yourself a Christian, yet take the Word out of context. The Bible doesn’t say we are not supposed to judge, but not to judge and condemn others when we are guilty of doing what they are doing. It doesn’t mean not to judge others when they are doing something wrong. And you say “love your neighbor as yourself”. Yet, you think a woman has the right to choose the life or death of a being that God created? Is that really love? Once the baby is conceived, the baby is not a part of the mother, but a being in itself. So who is the mother to end the baby’s life? Who but God can give life or death? Sorry, but your your faith is a perfect example of the New Age faith – if you really wanted to know God’s heart, dig deeper, i mean WAY deeper, into the Word and don’t take words out of context

            • Tori

              another AMEN.

            • aztectrumpet

              exactly. When christians yell at people that they are going to hell- that is what they aren’t supposed to do. The world would be chaos if we couldn’t have earthly laws.

          • susie

            Also, there is a clear difference between judging and rebuking. Judging is judging someone to condemnation or judging them when in fact, you are guilty of what they are doing. Rebuking is what you should do as a Christian when you see sin and injustice. Apostle Paul was not conservative in his rebuking.

            • Tori

              love it.

          • Tori

            You are to Judge, but judge rightly. God said,’ you should know them by their fruit.’ And if anything that the Bible points out in the Old Testament, Israel was sent into captivity because they adopted the pagan ritual of killing their babies. God told them, not to live with those people nor adopt their ways, and they did what God asked them not to. So yes, hes against killing of the Innocent… God is Pro-Life and will always be.. and if any one says different, then they make God a Liar.

          • aztectrumpet

            You either have not read that part of the Bible or have no concept of context. Those things have nothing to do with wanting a form of murder to be illegal.

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_QBVEOYZLQLQM3U2SWBE46I3MKY Nichele

        • Samantha

          Religion should have no place in the argument of abortion. Every single person who wants to take the words of the bible and twist it to fit the current argument. As a believer in Asatru, I refuse to have your religion be the basis of my choices. I would not press my religion to determine your lives, I only expect the same.

          We are in the US, where it is a woman’s RIGHT to make her own decision about what she does with her body. Every day in life people are going to make decisions that someone is not going to agree with, should we outlaw those decisions based on your opinion of what is right and wrong?

          While I am very pro-choice (just to get this out of the way, I have never personally had an a abortion, or in fact ever been pregnant) I do believe there needs to be guidelines, as there is with basically every aspect of our lives. I do not believe life begins at contraception, I believe there is no conciseness in the early stages of pregnancy. However, I do believe that when the fetus does begin to show signs of acknowledgement of emotions, feelings, ect. abortions should not be able to be preformed. A decision needs to make made quickly about the status of the pregnancy. It is not the opinion of pro-lifers to determine the decisions of every single woman, and I thank my gods that (hopefully) it will never be the case.

          As for everyone’s logic on bashing Nichele, you all are wrong. You all seem to be missing the point she is trying to make. While she may not personally believe in abortions, she has the capacity to acknowledge that every woman (or couple) has the right to make their own decision. Which is more than most of you could ever comprehend, because it is apparent that if the opinion isn’t the same as your own, you will persecute. In the end that makes you no better than the Christians and the Catholics who preformed religious persecution in the time of the Roman Empire. But if its for the “betterment of your religion” murder is ok right?

          • aztectrumpet

            I believe murder is wrong but I believe everyone should be free to murder whoever they want without punishment…

        • http://www.facebook.com/tommy.ferrugia Tommy Ferrugia

          Who cares what non-existent figures would think? This is 2013. It’s not 2000 years ago when people worshipped invisible space-ghosts and Middle-Eastern nomads invented the ‘Jesus’ myth to give the new religion a divine figurehead. We have to live within today’s reality. Not everyone believes in ancient fairy-tales and omnipotent men who live in the clouds. And those of us who don’t should not be bossed around by those of you who do. Sorry :-(

        • MJ

          THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Guest

        Again, fallacious. It’s interesting when liberals and feminists refer to babies as “part of their body.” Yet, the mother and child have vastly different genomes. Also, answer me this: why is it, if a young woman wants an abortion, and the young man wants the child, she bares the final decision in the matter – it’s her body. But, if she wants to keep the baby, and the man wants the abortion, he has no say so in the final matter? As a matter of fact,
        once the baby is born he *must* pay child support. But, why? If it’s “her body,” shouldn’t she support “her body?” She made the final decision — he didn’t want the child. If the male doesn’t want the child, shouldn’t he be able to sign over the rights to her and *not* pay child support? One word — hypocrisy.

        • Glover

          I totally agree with you. You shouldn’t be able to have it both ways. This country should either be pro-choice with the child being the mother’s sole responsibility if the father does not want to contribute or requests an abortion, OR we are pro-life and both parties must take responsibility. You can’t have it both ways. It truly is hypocritical.

        • Ricky Jimenez

          well put

        • OrangeK

          If a man doesn’t want to be responsible in the event there is a baby born, he should keep it in his pants, wrap it up tight, or get a vasectomy. He chose to put his DNA in her, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want the result of that later. What was his is voluntarily no longer in his possession, and he chose to do it. The difference is the sexual act for men basically lasts minutes, and 9 months for a woman as her body continues what they started together. Once his part is done, its done, and daddy’s window of opportunity to opt out is over as he has no rights to dictate what happens to her body. Her window of opportunity to opt out is until society decrees the baby is an independently recognized person, and that’s still being hotly debated, but most everyone agrees its a baby when its independently viable. The baby is not considered “part of her body”…it is in her body, but it is NOT her. Who says it’s part of her body? Nobody. Sorry if you see the unchangeable nature of human biology as hypocrisy
          but there is no denying the genders are not the same when it comes to
          reproduction.

          • Hmm

            So if a man doesn’t want a baby, he needs to be responsible and keep it in his pants?
            But… if a woman doesn’t want a baby, she can spread her legs anyways and just murder it at another date and time?
            Seems fair to me.

        • Marci

          Wow. Good point. Thumbs up to you!

      • eyepatch

        What she does with her body is her choice, it’s what she’s doing to the baby’s that’s the problem. Killing so you can continue to live in the way in which you’ve become accustomed is not ok. And if you want to talk about pro-choice, what about living with the consequences of your choices (like having sex) like any other adult. What makes it wrong for one person to murder an unborn child and ok for another?

      • Rachel

        While your logic of that being someone else’s business sounds fine, when it comes to murder, do you truly believe that? If that baby was born, and the mother killed it, would you still classify that as murder? Probably. So why are you differentiating here? To be clear, in a case where a mother is in danger, yes I believe in abortion. I don’t believe in it just because a mother “doesn’t feel ready.”

        • aztectrumpet

          agree with everything.

      • http://twitter.com/ETalicia talicia

        Well actually it is, if you believe it’s a baby. If you saw a mother strangling her child on the street, is that none of your business too?

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003148974974 Risa Stewart

        Actually you can’t have it both ways. You choose what you believe. Either way you look at it, its life inside you. Now if you look at it in a way where your body is just your body be cautious of how you use it & who you invite in it. I don’t mean that to be a dirty statement just clearly what it is.

      • Denise68

        If you saw a man assault a woman, would you intervene? Sounds like you would sit back and do nothing, because “it’s none of your business”. Wow.

      • mlondeaux

        Nichele – You’re the type of person who wouldn’t step in to help a child being neglected or abused by its parents because it’s “none of your business.” That’s what’s wrong with this world. Complacency.

    • rocklesson86

      I believe you can. I am pro-choice. I don’t wait children at all, but if I were to accidentally get pregnant I know I couldn’t go through with an abortion.

      • http://www.facebook.com/Boogitty Mark Jacobs

        then don’t have intercourse with a man handle it yourself so you wont get pregnant. The choice is made before someone gets pregnant, there shouldn’t be a 20/20 hindsight that lets you murder a child

  • sean601

    How dare you try to leave the plantation Stacey Dash! As an African-American and a women you are not allowed to think for yourself.

  • Whitese7en

    Writing off someone and deeming them to not be worthy of respect simply because the person votes a certain way, is childish.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=537840271 Diana Martinez

    I like Stacy Dash more than ever now and will go out of my way to support her career. Bravo for her for not letting idiotic things such as race dictate her political vote.

  • Bobby

    I was with you till you included HB You CRAZY???

  • john garrett

    putting down stacey dash for voting for romney is the stupidest thing ever! we all have a right to vote for who we want. just because she is black doesnt mean she has to vote for obama. UNREAL!

  • Over Ewe

    So some of the celebrities “We” (are you a nurse or royalty?) lost respect for are not in lock step with your narrow idealogy, therefore make your list of wife beaters and backstabbers? The fact that Stacey Dash is on this list just because she has an opposing view from yours is stunning, the fact that you probably don’t understand why that is stunning is breathtaking. You can’t respect anyone, especially any woman who has their own opinion? Wow, you’re so tolerant and open to diversity,,,oh wait, no you’re not. Kenya Moore? Really? That’s kind of a stretch You do understand that she is on a “reality” show and her role is to bring it however that may be. Kind of like being myopic blogger and making lists.

    It’s sooo condescending when whites make those stupid comments like those below as if we are just some dumb followers. It’s difficult for whites to get it that we are just as smart if not smarter than they are and that we voted for our candidates the same way they did with preparation and knowledge of what we were doing. We are not just roaming around like zombies following the loudest mouth piece. We know what we are doing and we know that Dems just as Repubs are not for blacks but those are ourchoices and we go with the lesser of two evils. This is still a white mans world for now and we are just playing your game with the special rules just for us but trust and believe things are changing and it’s not because you well informed whites are changing it.

    • Blightness

      Didn’t Obama get like 90 percent of the black vote? Not roaming around like zombies? I didn’t even understand the rest of your post.

  • http://www.facebook.com/jay.sitlani Jay Sitlani

    I didn’t realize Stacy Dash was a “celebrity.” And if she hadn’t declared her support for Romney, no one would be talking about her today. But I’m sure there’s a role for her in a Kid Rock video somewhere. Maybe.

  • Ashamed

    What an ignorant and uninformed thing to say.
