The time has come to reveal which celebrities have found themselves on the internet’s bad side. On Ranker, a data-driven media company, people voted for the stars they disliked the most this year, including royals, talk show hosts, reality stars, and disgraced musicians.
From accusations of being rude to waitstaff to releasing products perceived as bizarre or superficial, the reasons these celebrities made the “most hated” list vary widely.
Some, like Sean “Diddy” Combs, were involved in highly publicized legal cases and were jailed for their crimes.
In other cases, the stars were “canceled” over past issues that resurfaced this year, either because they commented on the scandal or because people still haven’t forgiven them.
Here are the 50 celebrities who most irritated or infuriated people in 2025:

#41 10th Place – James Corden (25.4k Votes)
James had an incredibly successful late-night show, featuring segments like Carpool Karaoke and Eat Your Guts or Spill Your Guts, which amassed millions of views on YouTube.
But many viewers didn’t believe that his jovial personality truly reflected his character. Over time, reports began to emerge suggesting that his off-screen conduct painted a different picture.
Restaurateur Keith McNally accused the British entertainer of being rude to the waiting staff on two separate occasions and banned him from his brasserie in 2022. He called James the worst customer the restaurant had welcomed in its 25-year history.
James also faced damaging accusations from fellow industry workers. British TV director Craig Duncan, who worked with him on The League of their Own, claimed the star tried to tell him how to direct, yelling, “What the f**k is going on here? It’s obvious what you do… It’s so obvious how you shoot it, it’s stupid.”

#42 9th Place – Bill Cosby (28.8k Votes)
Bill was once among the most beloved sitcom stars, earning a reputation as “America’s Dad.”
However, beginning in 2014, dozens of s*xual ass*ult allegations were made against him that ultimately ended his career. Over 60 women have accused the 88-year-old of r*pe and s*xual harassment, with some incidents allegedly dating back to the 1960s.
The actor and comedian has maintained his innocence and denied all allegations.
In 2018, he was jailed for m*lesting a woman and became the first celebrity tried and convicted in the #MeToo era, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality three years later, allowing him to walk free again.
Women accused the star of using his “enormous power, fame, and prestige” to isolate and ass*ult them.
One of them, former model Janice Dickinson, claimed she was r*ped by Bill at a hotel after taking a pill he gave her to help with menstrual pain.
In 2023, a jury in a civil trial found that Bill s*xually ass*ulted a teenager at Hugh Hefner’s mansion in 1975 and awarded her $500,000 in damages.

#43 8th Place – Kanye West (29.3k Votes)
Kanye has long been on the list of “canceled” celebrities, but this year he took things to a new level when he accused his in-laws of trafficking his and Kim Kardashian’s children.
In March, the disgraced rapper took to X to write, “THE KARDASHIANS ARE S*X WORKERS AND THEY S*X TRAFFIC ALL OF THE BLACK CHILDREN THEY STRATEGICALLY PRODUCE.”
He also compared the Kardashians to the Klan, claiming that he was “getting bullied every day by the real modern day [Klan] of white women controlling my Black kids.”
The Gold Digger singer also expressed his support for Sean “Diddy” Combs and insulted Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children.
Before Kanye’s social media rant, Kim had reportedly interrupted a meeting he had arranged between Andrew Tate, who has been charged with r*pe, and Ye’s 12-year-old daughter, North.
He also liked a post that described his wife, Bianca Censori, as a “subservient extension to her master” and said he had “dominion” over the architect after she stripped down to a completely see-through dress at the Grammys.

#44 7th Place – Kim Kardashian (29.3k Votes)
The most famous Kardashian sister has made headlines several times this year. In February, she justified the pain she felt after wearing an extremely tight corset at the 2024 Met Gala.
“I’ve never felt this way before, where I feel like I can’t breathe,” she said on her show, before revealing that her lower back had turned purple with visible marks left by the garment.
When a producer asked her off-camera if the pain was worth it, she replied, “Abso-f**ing-lutely. If you look good, it’s all worth it.”
She also sparked controversy by selling underwear featuring faux intimate hair, called “the Ultimate Bush.” According to the website of her brand SKIMS, it comes in “twelve different shade variations” and costs $32 per piece.
More recently, the mom of four admitted to using ChatGPT for legal advice and blamed psychics for their wrong predictions about her passing the California Bar exam.

#45 6th Place – Sean Combs (30.7k Votes)
This year, the disgraced hip-hop mogul stood trial after being arrested on charges of racketeering, s*x trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of pr*stitution.
In July, the jury found Diddy guilty on two counts of transportation for the purposes of pr*stitution involving Cassie Ventura, an ex-girlfriend, and male s*x workers. He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking charges.
Cassie, his girlfriend of over a decade, accused Diddy of forcing her to take illicit substances and later engage in s*xual acts with other men for hours. She said these encounters, called “fr*ak offs” by the 56-year-old producer, made her feel “disgusted” and “humiliated.”
She stated that she was forced to “perform” for Diddy, who would watch and “direct” her. She feared the superstar would release videos of her performing these acts if she refused.
In October, the rapper was sentenced to four years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He will remain incarcerated until May 2028.

#46 5th Place – Amber Heard (33.9k Votes)
Amber didn’t star in any projects this year and continued living a quiet life in her secluded Madrid home. However, people still haven’t forgotten about her high-profile lawsuit against her ex, Johnny Depp.
The pair accused each other of domestic violence, but the jury ruled mostly in Johnny’s favor, awarding him $15 million in compensatory and punitive damages. Amber won one of three counter-claims against her ex and was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
In May, the Aquaman actress announced she had welcomed twins Agnes and Ocean. Her eldest daughter, Oonah Page, was recently enrolled in one of the most prestigious schools in the Spanish capital.
“This is all behind her now, though,” an insider said of the trial. “She has new energy and is focused on things that she loves.”

#47 4th Place – Oprah Winfrey (37.5k Votes)
The former talk show host was slammed after old interviews surfaced on social media this year, prompting many to question her behavior toward her guests, particularly her comments about their bodies.
In one example, a 2004 clip showed Oprah asking twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen about their physiques at a time when Mary-Kate was struggling with an eating-related disorder.
“What size are you, by the way?” Oprah asked the sisters. When they replied that they didn’t know the exact number, the host responded ironically, “Oh, that’s so interesting! I’m obsessed with size, and you’re like, ‘I really don’t know!’”
In a 1986 interview with Cindy Crawford, Oprah asked the then-20-year old to stand up mid-interview. “Did she always have this body?” she asked, adding, “Now this is what I call a BODY.”
In a 2023 documentary, Crawford revealed that the moment made her uncomfortable. “When you look at it through today’s eyes, Oprah’s like, ‘Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you’re worthy of being here.’ That was so not okay really. Especially from Oprah!”

#48 3rd Place – Ellen Degeneres (38.9k Votes)
Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, relocated to the English countryside last year after she was “canceled” over accusations of fostering a toxic workplace culture on her talk show.
In July 2025, the 67-year-old said she had moved to the UK because of Donald Trump. “Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here,” she said.
Ellen faced renewed backlash for her response to her show being canceled after 19 seasons. “I’m a direct person, and I’m very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that … I’m mean?” she said.
Since the end of The Ellen Show, many believe the host has failed to show remorse or take accountability for the accusations against her.
People were also surprised to learn she was considering a comeback, not resurrecting the show, but starting a new project. “I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens but I’m a little bit bored,” she said.

#49 2nd Place – Prince Harry, Duke Of Sussex (42.4k Votes)
The Duke of Sussex recently participated in a skit on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that many labeled as “cringe.”
In the segment, Harry told the host that he wanted to play a prince in a Hallmark-style Christmas movie and said Americans were “obsessed with royalty.”
When Stephen pushed back on the idea of an American obsession, Harry joked about Donald Trump, saying, “Really? I hear you elected a king.”
“I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House — all the things you people in TV do,” he quipped about his desire to star in a Christmas film.
Earlier this year, the father of two lost a legal challenge over the level of security he and his family are entitled to while in the UK.
He had been seeking to overturn a decision that had downgraded his security after he stopped being a working royal and moved to the US five years ago, as per the BBC.
While his legal team argued that Harry had been “singled out” for “inferior treatment,” the court ruling upheld that there had been nothing unlawful about the decision.

#50 1st Place – Meghan Markle, Duchess Of Sussex (49.2k Votes)
In the first place, among the most disliked celebrities is Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. This year, she left the privacy of her Montecito home to debut a Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, along with a holiday special, neither of which was well-received.
Though she kept her children with Prince Harry out of the spotlight, Meghan offered a glimpse into her life and interests in a series branded as superficial and egotistical by many viewers.
Several people mocked her tips and tricks for being a great host, with one of the most talked-about moments showing her transferring snacks from their original packaging into a clear plastic bag and tying it with a ribbon to give to a guest.
The Netflix show coincided with the launch of her food brand, As Ever, and the reactivation of her Instagram page.
She was also criticized for continuing to use the Sussex title five years after stepping down as a working royal. In the show, she corrected a guest who called her Meghan Markle, clarifying, “You know I’m Sussex now.”
Additionally, a house manager introduced her as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” when she arrived to be interviewed at a friend’s home in New York, despite only the journalist being in the room.
