Is There A Bigger Fall From Grace Than R. Kelly?????

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Joe Paterno.

Dude went from being the virtual god of Western Pennsylvania, the top dog of an American institution, the dean of all college football coaches, millions in yearly salaries, and earned favorable comparisons to The Pope, to being a pedo enabler, earning unfavorable comparisons to Catholic priests, abruptly fired, then abruptly dead.

Life is wild.

And they wiped his name off anything related to Penn St. AND took his statue down.

Jared from Subway has to be up there

The obvious answer is Lucifer/Satan went from being in heaven to being cast in a lake of fire.

Micahel Sam. He didn't fall off, he just wasn't talented enough to be in the NFL.

Kelly is the worst because of the jail sentence

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Y’all saying Bill Cosby but at least they still play his reruns on TV One. You’ll never hear R Kelly on the radio ever again

With Mike tho his fan base held the fort…..at best only 35% believed that shyt when it was accused and even less do now

True. Even most white folks wasn't buying that shyt.

Only Cosby. He was bigger than OJ, Paterno, Weinstein, etc., and had the "clean" image. Kelly was demonic, but you could see it in his music. Cosby's like if Mr. Rogers was secretly a serial killer. Polanski still directed major movies after his rape scandal and won awards, so he's not even in consideration. Might be the best post-disgrace/scandal career ever. Dude just directed a movie this year. The Palace (2023) - IMDb

Is this reserved strictly for black men? There are no white men that fall from grace? I'd go with someone like Phil Spector before I land on R Kelly.

Facts…. Harvey Weinstein is WAY up on the list…I know for certain he had more money and power industry wisethan kells and I don’t think anyone with that much hollywood power has ever taken an L like that

 

[CrushedGroove]

Herbert Powell. Not necessarily because of his doing, but his fall from grace was swift. He went from having a cutting edge car conglomerate to losing it all in a snap of a finger. He made a single emotional and horrible decision that led to his ruin.

He eventually made his way back to success but the impact of that initial descent was crazy.

On the 90s on 9 countdowns he’s still played. The songs are based on the charts on a particular week of the 90s.
