What on earth is wrong with you people here at Watch Mojo? This video on the top 20 celeberties who lost everything is really nothing more than re-opening old wounds to rub salt and lemon juice in. What is the honest purpose in doing this video?

Amanda Bynes by Owen Kyle

Gary Coleman come on being robbed by his own parents!!! Like in the case with Macaulay Culkin. The other were self done.

Kim Basinger buying a town and then being sued for not appearing in that insane movie always gets me.

Toni Braxton, by far, is tragic to me. Her health literally has been really sad. It has caused her so much heartache and money issues. She is a beautifully talented woman with the voice of an angel 😇❤

It also should be mandatory for all professional sports rookies. Too many get crazy with those paychecks and end up with nothing.

@@hectorsmommy1717 I think they have to at least attend a league seminar or something.

Credit counseling partially helps. Problem that video also mentions that drugs, bad friends and exploitive family members can contribute to people losing money.

​@@weirdo1060💯

Took this class in high school

Saw Gary Coleman when I was around 13 he was working security at the Cleveland Auto Rama and this is before everyone had phone with cameras to take pictures so I could not get a pick

Then you are the biggest hypocrite there ever can be

I do too. A lot of these people on the list have never had the education on how to save or invest money. Then to make matters worse they had leeches in their life.

@@JohnMarston-sf1vk why do you say that?

I was about to comment and saw you saying this. Definitely sad. I feel bad for her.

@@WednesdayPoeAddams Had such a crush on her when I was a dumb little kid(think a lot of us did)and just like her have battled mental health for years. Her family seems to be mostly crap too after reading about that conservator hearings and stuff. It was just about them getting paid and still begs so many questions on who’s there for her. I just hope she’s getting the help she needs from somebody.

​@@WednesdayPoeAddams we need to invest more in mental health.

Wow I thought she was doing better

I completely feel sorry for her. Getting a mental health problem is never a choice your genetics will allow it to take hold. Amanda needs to be under care for the rest of her life but she’ll never be the same again. So sad

Now that is a good neighbor!!!

Hey had a manager that got him boogie nights that he subsequently fired because of it. If you have good people, learn to appreciate them.

Same thing happened by a fan of Ed McMahon. Bought his house and let him pass in peace there.

Now, that is classy. Thank you for sharing!@@user-zf3xb3qx8w

Agreed. I don't search for his past mishaps (mug shots, et al) because I feel bad for him. Plus, my mom watched Diff'rent Strokes back in the day. I watched reruns of the show back in the mid '90s. GC is still human.

They should be beyond ashamed. He should have been set for life.

@@wvrjl its sad that he died penniless

@@mattalan6618 damn R.I.P Gary Coleman 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭

To make matters worse he was going through kidney failure at the time. He was doing different strokes while on dialysis. They didn't even care.

I thought that thing was ended when they passed Jackie Coogan's Law.

Gary will always be recovering from his head injury . His injury was that bad .

I didn't know that. I hope Schneider rots for what he did.

With the exception of children, and TLC (which was more about inexperience), you have to ALLOW yourself to be taken advantage of.

@@wvrjl Same thing that happened to TLC happened to Toni Braxton.

The way this channel and others talk about drugs as “substance abuse disorder” and call in “sustained substance use” rather than addiction or drug abuse makes it sound like these people never had a choice to start using, and makes them into powerless victims of a “disease.” It’s the only “disease” where you get to make the conscious choice to never have. I grew up around drugs and thought it was normal. But I also watched relatives destroy lives for it and consciously chose to not start. I watched relatives of mine say they couldn’t help themselves and that it was a “disease,” and I got to deal with being called a shitty person when I reached the limit of help I was willing to offer since I was “abandoning” people who were “sick” and “couldn’t help themselves because they have a disease.” They made the CHOICE to start, and I’ the bad one for it. They’re disempowered to do anything since they’ve been told for years now that it’s not their fault as their kids suffer until choosing to follow in their footsteps. I’ve gone no-contact, even with my mother, and will deal with being called a bad person and a bad daughter. I don’t allow that shit into my life, even if that means kicking out people that this channel sees as poor victims who should have my support. If they don’t want to get help, then I don’t care what happens to them, and I don’t care where they end up, and they should’t get financial support that they’ll blow up their noses.

@@noelletakesthesky3977 maybe "social disease" would be a more apt description then. But once the addiction is there, it truly becomes a disease in the sense that you really don't feel like you have a choice anymore but to keep taking it. Of course that's not true but that's what it does to you and that's how it feels. I'm speaking from experience with substance addiction but the kicker is, like you said, whether or not people WANT to be helped, or even recognize that they have a problem. The last part is the trickiest because people are never more angry than when confronted with uncomfortable truths about themselves.

@@Ethan-wr2os Don’t try to discount the harm your actions caused others. You are 100% at fault for the result of what you chose to start. You may feel like you don’t have a choice anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that there was a time when you didn’t use something, and then made the choice to. When you made the choice to start, you chose your road. YOU HAD A CHOICE. I, and others in my shoes, didn’t. Know what’s even more fucked up than people thinking a “disease” means they can’t be blamed? How much victims are shamed into not walking away from family who have “diseases” that they “can’t help.”

One of the best and fairest posts here. Well done.

Exploitive family members also contribute to poor financial health.

Once you reach the top, the only thing left to do is jump

The just never think the money train is going to end, with so many millions it's bound to over inflate their egos and assume they'll get keep being rich.

Same. She was a golden treasure of the early Nickoledeon era

so do i. her show was a huge part of my childhood. i have it on dvd & i remember how shocked i was when she got arrested 4 dui in 2012

Dana Plato was commoditized her entire life. She was an accomplished figure skater until her showbiz mother forced her to be an actress. She was a childhood victim of SA. When she was a teenager and became pregnant it was through a relationship with an older guy who retrospect preyed on her. Even her suicide was after being ridiculed on the Stern show. Her story is remarkably similar to Amanda Peterson, the actress from "Can't Buy Me Love."

When Survivor first aired, my heart sank. That kind of voyeurism is not healthy.

"america's society"

@@lizardog Blame Mark Burnett.

Reynolds movies were action/adventure/comedy. No one for decades did those kind of films like him. What he should have done is a movie where HE played Norm McDonald: Turd Ferguson. !!

He got ruined when his wife and ex told the truth about him (Loni Anderson & Sally Field). An abusive pill addict. That's how he got broke. I hope he had good years before the end, but lost his fortune for good reason.

I'm from Hollywood, went to SC, sister is married to an actor. This->"Which goes along with what I've said for years: Studio executives are incapable of judging quality" is completely, 100% accurate. I deal with folks here in TX who've convinced themselves that LA is a factory hellbent on "Woke." LA wouldn't know what liberal is if it punched them in the mouth. Hollywood is a company town as corporate as Exxon or General Motors is. You summarized this in one sentence. Thank you.

@@chrisstrawn4108 My pleasure. :)

And its such a hard one to deal with for everyone involved. Not only does it suck for the person who deals with bipolar but the caregivers never know how much truth in in their interpretation of evets and what triggers there are etc. I wish it was more openly talked about too so people understood it better.

I am so happy to hear that.

Star Wars

Warcraft

That would be a Disney/Marvel movie montage

@@Its_Only_Money we could do saints row.

Saw, resident evil

The laws were changed after the Fatty Arbuckle scandal almost 100 years ago: money was supposed to be put away for child actors. Someone found a "work around"??

Do you mean like Burt Reynold's neighbour? I'd say we all need a friend like Jack Nicholson. He bought back his friend's mansion for him, when he lost everything. He didn't charge him rent or anything, he just bought him back the house (I don't know how the taxes worked out). Although, I still think the neighbour is a good person.

@@wvrjl yes

@@wvrjl and he beat a sex worker to the point that she has brain damage. What a great guy 🙄

Don't jinx it

Cuz she from the bay and WE keep it authentic AF 💯

​@@michellemacco which bay.

@@frankieseward8667 She’s from Oakland.

​@@bennywark3103 you are everywhere. Ain't nobody jixing nonthing.

Uhh there’s nothing fluffy about it.. I’m proud to be in recovery 💋

Most of them did not get screwed over by the system. MOST of them went bankrupt due to their own financial stupidity.

And if that helped Blockbuster even by .000000172% to go bankrupt-- great. BB killed the family video rental store.

People have to learn that no matter if they're swimming in wealth now, there is no guarantee that that will continue into the future. In fact, chances are that it won't. So if you have a lot of money now, put it away for the future! People have to learn that you can also out spend any amount that you earn. A million dollars, for example, sounds like a lot of money, but it really isn't that much if you're buying houses and things of that nature.

I know I'm not anywhere in the league of these famous people, but I understand living paycheck to paycheck, then coming into money just to lose it all with miss management. It makes you think hard about how someone "should" have done things. Coud-a, should-a would-a.

Right on. BTW wrestlers Lex Luger and Perry Saturn from ECW, WCW and WWE should be on the list. I mean, they went bankrupt too.

And our society ridicules people like him. Awful.

@@seffishestopal5950 Yep.

I wouldn’t feel too sorry for Busey. He was feverishly against requiring helmets for motorcyclists. The effects of his accident would have been greatly reduced had he been wearing a helmet

Gary Busey was so talented, that he sang and played the guitar in "The Buddy Holly Story", and sounded great.

Reynolds was a great guy but here's the truth. He ran off Sally Field. That's like whiffing at being Gwen Stefani's bf. You can be a decent, charismatic guy and at the same make poisonous decisions people of substance can't look past. This why you shouldn't screw them over. In the last 15 years of his life Reynolds repeatedly discussed in interviews how he messed up with Sally. His last years would have been a million times better if he hadn't done this, which is a lesson for everyone. If you find a great girl then ***DON'T F IT UP*** Yes I have done this too.

Horrified, really?

Red Foxx as well. Group of Hollywood types paid off his tax debt and other issues. (RF then did it all again, and was back where he started; didn't learn a damn thing). But good people stepped up.

How so?

He abused her and molested her. Evil and tragic!

​@miadipaolo-kaye5814 any sources? I'm actually interested

Jew

Eh, there's a give and take to it. My mother had a 162 IQ and drank herself to death in a multi-million $ estate in Los Feliz. When my ex and I split up the way I dealt with missing her continuously was to drink heavily. She and I were extremely close and not having her around was like having my arm FN sawed off. I made the choice but you can also argue this choice was influenced by what I was around constantly as a kid. My sister never touched a drop and went to Harvard (seriously). Maybe she's the better person. Maybe she had better opportunities because she's certainly smarter than me. I believe substance abuse is similar to falling in love: timing is part of it, convenience, background, etc. It's probably a combination, not all one thing or another. Don't be quick to condemn.

That's 192K a year, fuck Sinbad.

For real, so many of these seem like its looking for sympathy, but some of these were bringing in what some people take 5 years or more to make, in a week. And I'M supoosed to feel sorry for THEM? They CHOSE to squander millions. I've never even seen close to a million. Fuck these people

Multiple mistakes…bad family members, drugs, greedy friends, not getting mental health treatment…

Alcoholic 😅

I personally don't consider them to be. They're famous for doing absolutely nothing. So, in my book, they're not real celebrities.

or "rappers" or "influencers" or ....!!

Definately not.

Yep that is a bit disrespectful.

Such a stupid expression.

Exactly. Just say alcoholism or drug addiction 🤷🏻‍♀️

These days, you can even turn the logical consequences of your own choices into Victimhood

That annoyed me too. I guess “drug abuse” doesn’t sound sad and heart-warming enough. But if you make every person that makes a bad DECISION feel like it was a “disorder,” over which they had NO control, you’re not only justifying their mistakes as acceptable and not within their control, but also condemning others to repeat the process because they believe they have no control over it at all.

@@PhoenixRizez Labelling addiction as a disease is so wrong. It's a symptom of deeper issues, be they physical and/or mental, but much more "treatable" (read: $$$) as a disease on its own. jmo

I really like his guesting in ERB as Stevie Wonder.

Yep exactly.

That story sounds fake

@@awill3454 Which one?

It was a really small town. How could anyone think that would be a good investment?!

Kinda ironic given Hollywood's deep secrets.

SAY IT LOUDER ♥♥

Yeah, that always hit me hard seeing how he threw everything away. Always wanted to see a big comeback so was very sad to hear of his passing.

@@jekw23 absolutely Tom’s death devastated me the most. Tom Sizemore was a great guy, it’s unfortunate that his demons took over his life. He is missed and I will be remembering him through his films.

That's someone who should be on the list, now that you mention it.

But those are not the problem

💯

I don't think so, the title says celebrities who lost everything3thing it doesn't say anything about the celebrities being at fault or that they lost everything because of blowing it all or anything and the video doesn't seem to be mocking or blaming anyone for anything just discussing it. Saying someone lost everything isnt the same as applying someone blew everything

I get what you're saying and I agree to some degree. But all of these people are celebrities and we're in the public eye from film, tv, radio, magazines etc they made their money from being in thy public eye. So everything including mental health becomes public knowledge. But mental health should be highlighted and maybe a seperate video do show how serious things get

If the mental health issues are spurred from becoming a celebrity, then it probably belongs on the list.

In span on 1 seconds

At the height of it all he had 70 million dollars

True…but at least he DID buy another house (much less lavish, and less affluent area). I have never met him personally, (but a couple of people I know who knew him said he became quite rooted in his new hometown of Tracy, California. In addition, his kids went to school there, and he became a big advocate and supporter of the schools in his area and a much valued community member of his area in south Tracy, CA.

@@lisaschooler9992 He spent it trying to help most of the people he knew in Oakland: Share the Blame is what it turned out to be, but hat's off to him for trying. Look at Oakland NOW.

The way the contracts were written TLC were "underwriting" the next unproven album with their own money. You don't do that in entertainment, if at all possible. Cyndi Lauper did the same thing. Contracts are written by some of tghe most shyster lawyers in ANY business (in NY and Miami). Stick a 20 year old "girl" in the mix and who wins????!

@@user-zf3xb3qx8w Ok.

Why ?

You mean what they did to themselves for the most part.
