15 Of The Worst Celebrity Comebacks Ever

Kellie Shanygne Williams

Laura Winslow’s next dramatic role was as a scam artist. Kellie’s comeback started on a high note with her youth arts program called the “Kellie Williams Program.” But in 2012, the “Kellie Williams Program” was shut down when she came under suspicion of helping D.C. councilman Harry Thomas Jr. steal money from the city. Kellie wasn’t arrested but she still seems a little suspect in most people’s eyes.

Judge Joe Brown

What’s the worst way for a TV judge to make a comeback? As a defendant. Last month, the ex-TV judge returned to the spotlight when he was arrested for losing control in court. When he found out they couldn’t hear his client’s case that day he got so violently angry that the judge had to put him in jail.

Lark Voorhies

Just when we were wondering about where the former “Saved By the Bell” was now, she popped up again looking and acting differently than we expected. Speculation about skin bleaching and her mental health set back what Lark says were plans to make a comeback by starting her own production company.

Mackenzie Rosman

Remember little Ruthie Camden from “7th Heaven?” After her stint as America’s Sweetheart, Mackenzie went the other route and posed in a Maxim photo shoot that discarded her good girl image — and her prime time acting roles for good.

Redd Foxx

Redd Foxx is one of the father’s of comedy. So it was sad to hear that his final acting role would be that of one of Hollywood’s most in debt actors. Red Foxx’s comeback amounted to a lot of stories about evictions, reposessions and a whopping $3 million debt to the IRS. In the midst of the scandal, Red Foxx died trying to pay his bills on the set of “The Royal Family.”

Lisa Robin Kelly

When they suddenly switched the Laurie’s on “That 70’s Show,” fans of TV’s most famous throwback sitcom wondered where Lisa had gone. Then a unfortunate mugshot followed by a series of starring roles in legal battles and stints in rehab. Sadly Lisa Robin Kelly lost her battle with substance abuse that she sadly lost in 2013 at the age of 43.

Dee Jay Daniels

Remember D.L. Hughley’s youngest child from “The Huhhley’s?” After he dropped off of our radars in the mid 90’s he popped back up not as an actor but as a defendant in a murder trial. In 2011 he was accused of the stabbing death of a man in California. The charges were later dropped, but we’re not sure Dee Jay Daniels’ career will ever recover.

Macaulay Culkin

The former “Home Alone” star popped back up on the scene looking dangerously thin and DJ-ing Hollywood parties. Rumor has it that a heroin addiction is responsible for his skinny comeback. And if that big of tea is as true as it looks, we certainly wish him a speedy recovery.

Craig Mack

Instead of more “Flava In Your Ear,” Craig Mack’s comeback was as a disciple in an obscure cult run by a suspected child molester. Last year, this video surfaced of Craig testifying in his “church” against the evils of his former “wicked” life in music. Weird. We hope he comes back soon.

Orlando Brown

We expected a lot of things from the multi-talented cutie who starred in “Major Payne.” None of those things were the DUI and marijuana possession arrests that have defined his adult career. We hope he gets it together because we want to see more from him soon.

Edward Furlong

The “Terminator” star has been playing out his second act in a series of bizarre domestic hiccups. First he made headlines when he began dating his 29-year-old tutor Jacqueline Domac — when he was just 14. Then when they broke up, Eddie starred in his first of several domestic assault arrest and suits that may have ruined his chances on starring on the big screen.

Vanilla Ice

The charts had almost forgotten all about Vanilla Ice when he popped up on the “Surreal Life,” bitter and angry about being the butt of 90’s era white-boy rapper jokes. His new career as a rocker may not have had much traction but his antics on his reality show will be much harder to forget.

Katie Holmes

The cutest “Dawson’s Creek” star surprised everyone when she announced that she was marrying Scientologist Tom Cruise. Rumors about his religion, sexuality and the nature of their relationship snowballed until Katie finally left Tom Cruise in fear for her safety. We’re sure Katie can never be sorry about a relationship that created something as cute as Suri Cruise. Unfortunately the scandalous relationship has left her relatively unhirable in Hollywood.

Lil’ Kim

Every time the former chart topper pops up in paparazzi photos, she looks a little bit different. We’re not sure what the future has in store for Kim or what she will look like at the time.

Chris Brown

Chris Brown’s comeback has been so bad that we’re not sure if he really ever came back at all. After committing one of the world’s most public acts of domestic violence, Chris Brown’s public image stuttered back into the spotlight with a brief reunion with Rihanna followed by a scandalous love triangle and a series of outbursts that eventually landed him in jail. Is he turning over a new leaf or just spiraling down more slowly? We certainly hope the former is true but we’re just not sure.
