Failures are a part of life, and they happen to the best of us. And when such misfirings happen, we often credit the person for taking a shot, at the very least.
But of course, not everyone deserves kudos for their efforts. Some of them deserve to be shamed and called out, especially if they attempted to conceal their sanctimonious behaviors. Unfortunately, some of the world’s most influential people are guilty of such faults, as you will see in this list.
