these are instances of misconduct that
led to pop culture prominence and both
Joey and Amy each have their own porn
videos welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten people who became famous for
being involved in a scandal the media
and everybody else made it to be
something else that it wasn’t it was
never a hoax not once not ever for this
list we’re focusing on individuals that
figuratively cashed in on random Fame to
be eligible they can’t have been
particularly famous or in public
consciousness before the scandal in
question nor should they come from a
well-known family they must also be
currently living Fleiss gained fame in
the 1990s when she ran a high-priced Los
Angeles prostitution ring providing
models turned prostitutes to wealthy
clients that being said we’re excluding
people like Edward Snowden who exposed a
scandal rather than being the primary
focus of it a reaction this time would
shock the world and change her life
number 10 Rachel Uchitel losing two
primary male figures in my life really
affected me as a teenager Rachel Uchitel
lost her father to drugs and years later
she lost her fiancee in the 9/11 attacks
there had been you know another plane
that went in and I was still holding the
phone so I knew that Andy was still
obviously on his floor these events
unquestionably shaped Uchitel sense of
security as she moved forward with her
life as a VIP hostess in Las Vegas if
ever there was a man that could fill
such a void Tiger Woods
certainly fit the criteria ELA and I
have started the process of discussing
the damage caused by my behavior by the
time the golfers infamous 2009 scandal
came to light it was Yuka tells name
that emerged as his alleged first
mistress that make him feel guilty at
all um yes
the subsequent media exposure changed
her life less than a decade after first
gaining attention through one of the
darkest chapters of American history
didn’t stop there the next year she made
headlines again after an alleged affair
with married actor David Boreanaz you
know I just really want to be happy in
content number nine Kato Kaelin you were
there the night she was killed oh right
I was at the my guest house with
Hollywood scandals the focus is usually
on the celebrity in question with the
incidental subject seen only as minor
bits of trivia but that all changed with
the OJ Simpson trial as blonde haired
bro and minor witness Kato Kaelin gained
considerable attention thanks to his
cliched California vibe a little bit
nervous today I feel great little
nervous
in other words Kaelin had evolved into
that dude who may or may not have heard
of thump I don’t know I can’t remember I
thought I heard a thump and though all
the media buzz didn’t necessarily reveal
one of America’s finest actors Kato
certainly took advantage of the
opportunity elevating himself from
d-list actors to a notable figure of pop
culture if only for his name for
instance someone writing you scumbag at
Kato Kaelin you scumbag I remember your
testimony when you flip back and forth
when you knew OJ killed them you are a
piece of the trial also gave rise to
rhyming lawyer Johnny Cochran who knew
how the Fame game worked and played it
well it’s no disguise it’s no disguise
it makes no sense
it doesn’t fit if it doesn’t fit you
must acquit number eight Rachel Dolezal
when did you start and I’ll use the word
you can correct me if you don’t like it
when did you start deceiving people and
telling them you were black in theory
you can be anything you want to be in
life a doctor an astronaut whatever
floats your boat but the important thing
is how you choose to present yourself
well I definitely am NOT white I did
nothing about being white describes Who
I am for Rachel Dolezal her collegiate
artwork must have been deeply personal
as she essentially transformed her look
during the process of it and this
ultimately led to a gig as the president
of Spokane’s n-double-a-cp chapter I
hair coming out from underneath your wig
this is this is a really inappropriate
as was revealed in 2015
Dolezal may look a certain way but she’s
most definitely not a black woman the
evidence of which can be seen in photos
of her as a younger woman it’s a curious
case of 21st century individualism but
the origin story tells a much different
tale number seven heidi fleiss
reflecting a more innocent time in
Hollywood history heidi fleiss ran a
top-drawer prostitution ring that
catered to anyone willing to cough up
the money they put me in the middle of
their really disgusting things cos got
it that’s really disgusting like hi
honey I just slept with 30 guys here’s
the money let’s go home and sleep
together after learning the tricks of
the trade
Fleiss organized a well-oiled sex
machine for Tinseltown but the business
hit the skids in 1993 when the feds
caught on as a result lice earned a
variety of nicknames such as the
Hollywood madam from the media who also
spilled that she had a black book
containing the names of all the naughty
celebs that were clients how did you
spend the rest of the 90s after that
kind of after you faded from the
headlines could a drug addict I’m lucky
if I could remember yesterday although a
citizen of a pre reality TV world place
was a perfect fit when the format came
around years later and she appeared on
shows like Celebrity Rehab with dr. Drew
and Celebrity Big Brother when you miss
any of your housemates at or if you do
they know number six
Bernie Madoff I was just continuing in a
pyramid fashion to get more investors
money and pretending to pay off the old
people with new people’s money and now
50 billion dollars in assets are wiped
out gone in 2008 the preeminent wolf of
Wall Street was Bernie Madoff and that’s
because when a massive Ponzi scheme was
uncovered defrauding nearly 5000
investors out of approximately 65
billion dollars though the
court-appointed trustee estimated it’s
more like 18 billion it all led back to
him I have no idea if I have any assets
left at Madoff
long story short mr. Madoff destroyed
the lives of those who trusted him
and in doing so his actions led to a
chain reaction of death and landed him a
hefty sentence of 150 years behind bars
but like so many corrupt businessmen
sometimes they just want you to know
their name and correlate it with some
grand idea unfortunately far too many
are familiar with the name Bernie Madoff
it’s odd for people to think that his
he’s saying his life is better now here
he is in prison for the rest of his life
after all that he’s done and he seems at
peace
number 5 Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco
vulnerable and I think he preyed upon my
vulnerabilities an average teenage girl
from Long Island
Amy Fisher’s life took a drastic turn in
1992 and you can blame at least part of
it on sexy times with Joey Buttafuoco’s
not only was he almost twenty years the
girl’s senior but he was also married it
was his wife Mary Jo that ultimately
paid the price when Fisher shot her in
the face with a pistol inexplicably
however the public couldn’t get enough
of the Long Island Lolita or saying the
name but a Foucault you’re lucky the
sexual predator law wasn’t enough isn’t
that amazing
yeah because you’d be a sexual predator
but if well that guy served a little
over four months jail time for statutory
rape while Fisher served seven years for
aggravated assault I realize how popular
I was I think it’s from taking my
clothes off she later capitalized on her
infamy with a brief career in porn Mary
Jo Buttafuoco meanwhile filed for
divorce from Joey
in 2003 got to a point where after 20
years he like everybody else is growing
up why aren’t you growing up number four
John and Lorena Bobbit testimony begins
in a court case that has attracted
international attention and been the
source of countless off-color jokes meet
Lorena and John Wayne Bobbit a couple
that experienced somewhat of a
relationship fail in 1993 the couple was
married just four years when Lorena made
them household names how well she cut
off John’s penis while he slept and
tossed the removed member out of a car
window Lorena was found not guilty on
the grounds of insanity fueled by a
history of sexual and mental abuse I’d
be now meaning because I was under the
woman syndrome and that’s what happened
when a man pushes the woman so far and
solo meanwhile John made multiple
attempts to cash in on his notoriety by
forming a band called the severed parts
and by appearing in two porno films
basically show everybody that I’m healed
and fully functional this story gets
even stranger the more you look into it
Bob is a lasting legacy the unspeakable
act got a shout out in the classic David
Fincher film Fight Club so that’s
something man it could be worse women
could cut off your penis way sleeping
toss it out the window moving car
there’s always that number three Martin
shkreli I think profits are a great
thing to stain your corporate existence
when touring pharmaceuticals acquired
the license for an anti-parasitic
medication called daraprim in the latter
half of 2015 the name Martin shkreli
meant nothing to pop culture pundits mr.
Chairman I move that the witness be
punched in his dumb smug face but then
he raised the price by well over 5,000
percent then he gave interviews that did
little to change the public’s view of
him as anything other than a Bond
villain before the price increase most
hospitals had a bottle lying around and
they were able to feel it skin cut hair
perhaps it’s his League of Legends
background or perhaps it’s pure greed
but Martin shkreli loves the spotlight
he even managed to later acquired the
lone copy of a wu-tang clan album once
upon a time in shaolin only to then
start a beef with Ghostface Killah i
think that if you ever say seem dumb
again this el the sha-1 erase all yours
in this album in essence
shkreli seemed destined for scandal and
seems to care very little about the
media nicknaming him the most hated man
in America Crowley’s former hedge fund
this is something called MSM be capital
is alleged to have made significant
misrepresentations and omissions to
investors number two Kim Kardashian
because I hope you do so you can see
many babies all day remember me little
girl by early 2007 the voluptuous
daughter of the late Oh Jay Simpson
attorney Robert Kardashian was known in
certain elite crowds for her socialite
persona but after the release of a
revealing sex tape with Ray Jay well pop
culture aficionados recognized that
something big was about to happen with
Kim K everyone that thinks my boobs are
fake they’re real
although Kardashian may in fact be a
marketing wizard when it comes to
selling her brand it was essentially
introduced to the public by way of a
bedroom wrong yet trehala she may just
be one of the many Kardashian’s but the
bulk of the family’s fame hinges on this
one hormone ribbon character defining
moment
first before we reveal our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
honey
if it makes you happy I will remove all
of the black people from my Instagram
which was it big how big was it
seriously I want to know
come on divine honey huh was it good it
was average
Oh as to the charge of first-degree
murder verdict as to count one we the
jury find the defendant not guilty so
say we all
number one Monica Lewinsky I did not
have sexual relations with that woman
miss Lewinsky for this scandal to unfold
a number of events had to transpire for
one America had to elect a good old boy
to the Oval Office and to Monica
Lewinsky a bel-air prep graduate and
later Santa Monica college student had
to land an internship at the White House
it’s not good for your self-esteem and
it’s it’s not a good situation to the
end it’s not right and finally both
parties involved had to agree that Oval
Office oral sex was a good idea turns
out though that maybe it wasn’t at least
morally speaking um have I got a a suit
filed against the president if it gets
to Bill Clinton but as Paula Jones an ex
Arkansas state employee who filed a
civil lawsuit against Clinton for
allegedly sexually harassing her when he
was governor of Arkansas and Linda Tripp
the White House co-worker who secretly
taped your conversations with Lewinsky
about Clinton can attest sometimes a
little scandal can open up a larger
discussion in society I am NOT going to
comment on what I did or did not say
back in the late 90s and they can give
the world a closer look at life in the
White House and though Monica Lewinsky
probably didn’t expect all that fame she
certainly got it I realized later that
night I’m probably the only person over
40 who does not want to be 22 again do
you agree with our list who do you
remember becoming famous through a
scandal on the advice of counsel I
