Most of us have celebs that make our skin crawl and we suspect will end up being accused of terrible things. What are yours?

There is a part of me that assumes every celebrity is likely guilty ... people who rise to that level of fame are often bad people.

I mean, even Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer are guilty 😬

Sure, maybe my generalizations are unfair or untrue, but there is something pragmatic happening about psychologically steeling myself, knowing I should be prepared for anyone to later be found guilty because of how common it seems among celebs.

Over 160 actors, writers, directors, etc. famously signed a petition to free Roman Polanski after he was arrested for unspeakable sexual crimes to a minor:

The petition was signed by many prominent individuals in the film industry including Guillermo del Toro, Martin Scorsese, Sam Mendes, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Michael Mann, Woody Allen, Darren Aronofsky, Harrison Ford, Jeremy Irons, and Wong Kar-wai.

A full list is here.
