which is the West City it’s just the
worst thing because it hurt so many
people sorry seems to be the hardest
word welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top ten memorable celebrity apologies
actually someone’s emotions you know
that I stepped on it was very it was
just it was rude period and for this
list we’re focusing on the most
unforgettable and outlandish of public
celebrity apologies I love and apologies
to everybody number 10
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Australia is
a wonderful island with a treasure trove
of unique plants animals and people
Australia is a wonderful Island well of
course it is everybody knows that but in
2016 Johnny Depp and Amber Heard found
themselves legally responsible to remind
the world of this fact
trillions just as unique both warm and
direct when you disrespect Australian
law they will tell you from after a
brazen attempt to bring their Yorkshire
Terriers into the country
the couple felt the wrath of the
country’s agriculture minister who
threatened to put down the innocent pups
pistol and Boo this is no laughing
matter on paper of course but as far as
the bizarre video apology well you can
almost see Johnny and amber ready to
burst out laughing well let’s run the
rest of it through a snapchat filter and
see if it’s better that way
disrespected protecting Australia is
important number 9 Hugh Grant let me
start with question number 1 what the
hell will you think when a man cheats on
his partner just laughing it off as a
bad thing is not gonna work
but if you’re a young British actor
known for your charming ways and comedic
banter well that’s another story in 1995
while dating the equally beautiful and
charming Elizabeth Hurley Hugh Grant
dropped 60 bucks on a Sunset Strip
hooker in his car well after he didn’t
drove around me for like two mouths
right you know so you kept circling he
kept circling did you think that was
funny you knew he was looking you over
right thought it was a cop what’s
important however is his appearance on
The Tonight Show where the actor owned
up to his transgression with his typical
brand of awkward charm and just like
that he was forgiven through the power
of cheeky charm I think you know in life
pretty much what’s a good thing to do
and what’s a bad thing and then I did a
bad thing and that there you have it
number 8 Chris Brown what I did was
inexcusable I am very sad and very
ashamed of what I’d done today it’s all
about personal branding for celebrities
and in February of 2009 Chris Brown’s
image spiraled out of control
after a physical assault on his
girlfriend Rihanna there are a lot of
women who’ve experienced what I did but
not in the public so it made it really
difficult as for the specifics well it
was ugly and almost five months after
the incident Chris released a two-minute
clip in which he wisely accepted
responsibility apologized and even
expressed a desire to be a role model I
intend to live my life so that I’m truly
worthy the term Roma say what you will
about Chris Brown but in this case he
seemed to mean it only time will tell
if he’s truly changed his ways as I sit
here today I can tell you that I would
do everything in my power to make sure
that it never happens again
and I promise that number 7 Jonah Hill
shortly after appearing in Martin
Scorsese’s the wolf of Wall Street
this comic actor turned oscar-nominated
performer found himself in the
crosshairs of public opinion
I personally vowed to never ever use
that word ever again and I urge everyone
to do the same while out and about in LA
Jonah Hill didn’t find the humor in a
paparazzo ‘zv use on his style and like
a grade school bully the actor fired
back with grade school insults loaded
with homophobic overtones Oh a real
bully shortly thereafter Hill offered up
an emotional apology on The Tonight Show
and though it was a powerful moment not
all fans were ready to accept his plea
for forgiveness I know I’m usually funny
and stuff but this wasn’t funny it was
stupid and yeah I deserve that I’m gonna
get for it you know number six Mel
Gibson any longer out on that road and
I’m one of them you know a terminal
Craig if we know one thing about Mel
Gibson aside from the fact that he’s a
gifted director and charismatic actor
it’s that in the past he liked it drink
every once in a while whenever make him
Braveheart
everyone said oh it’s ridiculous Mel
Gibson playing Scottish guy that’s not
gonna be very convincing and look at him
now an alcoholic racist but when you
drink heavily and choose to drive a
motorized vehicle
things happen were you drinking from the
open bottle of tequila in the car yeah I
had a couple of slugs back in 2006 the
Malibu five-o caught up with Mad Max and
unfortunately the celebrity had a few
things to get off his chest expletive
Jews and to officer me are you a Jew and
the Jews are responsible for all the
wars in the world naturally a public
apology was in order and considering the
rise of social media he needed to go the
extra mile
I’ve apologized more than anyone I know
is that getting old Mel covered a lot of
ground in his apology but the most
important topic wasn’t the drinking
itself but the words that emerged
through a major tequila binge and
forgiving my friend his trespasses
offering him the same clean slate you
have me and allowing him to continue his
great and ongoing contribution to our
active art without shame he’s hugged the
cactus long enough number five
Paula Dean we can’t see you standing
against that dark mold in a 2013 lawsuit
this southern-born chef was accused of
being a racist and when she lost several
promotional deals Paula Dean gave the
most logical response she could muster I
am NOT a racist
inappropriate hurtful language is
totally totally unacceptable in her
first apology video Dean’s colorful
appearance distracted from the message
and she later went on further in her
public statement even noting that she
wouldn’t actually fire herself for such
behavior would I have fired me knowing
me no she admitted to using the n-word
on occasion but for some reason couldn’t
see how this qualified as racism despite
its obvious racially charged weight and
ugliness if there’s anyone out there
that has never said something make my
wish they could take back if you’re out
there please pick up that stone and
threw it so hard in my head that it
kills me number four Kobe Bryant
that’s the
watch love him or hate him Kobe Bryant
understands the importance of modern
media the NBA superstar attacked her
from behind grabbed her by the neck and
forced himself on her despite her
repeated protests and after the infamous
sexual assault case in 2003 he seemed
more willing to play the villain than
ever before especially after coming
clean to the world and his wife on
national TV it’s an awkward apology for
sure yet Kobe doesn’t smile his way
through and try to glide around the main
issue however Bryant later had to
apologize publicly again this time for
using slurs in the heat of battle and
while the cameras were on you clearly
see him drop double f-bombs a slur and
the f-word number 3 Michael Richards hey
hey I got a feed the birds duh you got
those a mini riches by 2006 Michael
Richards may not have been as relevant
as he once was but did he not understand
the concept of YouTube yeah buddy
I know movie oh I guess you got me there
you’re absolutely right after being
heckled during a stand-up routine
Richard’s attempted to out heckle the
hecklers drifting in an unscripted
racial tirade against the black audience
members soon after Jerry Seinfeld
invited Richards to appear on The Late
Show with David Letterman but the studio
audience didn’t seem up to speed on the
situation and laughed awkwardly
throughout a satellite apology and did
you know I’m here in your audience
laughs you know and it’s it’s I’m not
even sure that this is where I should be
Richards has attempted to make light of
the incident in later years at his own
expense but his career has never quite
rebounded from it I’m not a racist
that’s what’s so insane about this I
don’t and yet it said it comes through
it fires out of me number 2 Janet
Jackson CBS the
had no knowledge of this whatsoever and
unfortunately the whole thing went wrong
in the end nipple clamp or no nipple
clamp it’s not a daily concern for most
but in 2004 Janet Jackson had choices to
make by the end of her Super Bowl
appearance we all know what option she
went with when the wardrobe malfunction
of all wardrobe malfunctions was
broadcast around the world in her
apology Janet said all the right things
I am really sorry if I offended anyone
that was truly not my intention
but given the theatrics of the entire
performance and the addition of Justin
Timberlake the nipple reveals seem to be
the orchestrated conclusion of the
international event before we unveil our
number one hick here are some honorable
mentions not what I’m gonna do I want to
be a positive influence oh I feel like I
let y’all down which sucks I am so sorry
I was so disrespectful to him and I have
police officers in my family I work with
police officers every day I know better
person I love and respect the most Rob I
love him I love him I’m so sorry I was
out of order beyond belief I was way out
of order I acted like a punk
I regret that and there is nobody that
has heard that tape that is hit harder
by it than me i Julie sorry you know
really I wish I wish we all could have
gotten it right that night I want you to
know that me number one Tiger Woods oh
yeah look at this
in his prime this PGA golfer was perhaps
the most dominant athlete in sports
he didn’t just golf he destroyed the
competition while captivating fans on a
global level but in late 2009 everything
changed for Tiger Woods a car accident
mistresses and an image destroyed so
when he delivered the inevitable public
apology it carried the tone of a sermon
authentic but obviously scripted I am
deeply sorry for my irresponsible and
selfish behavior I engaged him however
by the end of what has to be one of the
most unforgettable moments in sports
history
Tigers acknowledgement managed to convey
genuine regret I asked you to find room
in your heart to one day believe in me
again do you agree with our list I’d
have to get loaded again and tell you

enough I’d become a man of some humility
