12. Britney Spears
Oh, there’s just a whole tale to be told about good ol’ Britney. Where would we even begin?
Similar to Miley, Britney became internationally famous with her first album “…Baby One More Time,” and she really looked and behaved like everybody’s dream baby girl. She was a high-school fantasy, she sang beautifully, had the looks, had the story, had the charming aura, everything. Nobody knows what caused her fall, but it happened suddenly and it was a real hit on her career and life.
She went through drug and alcohol addiction, ran away from rehabilitation programs and had a series of bad marriages which usually ended in legal disputes. She shaved her hair at one point and was considered “completely insane” by a very large portion of her audience. Add the mental breakdowns and losing custody over her children, and having her videos removed from certain countries, and you get the picture. She is so far away from her former self, but at least she is trying to be normal from time to time.
