The athlete’s reason to withdraw from the tournament was to focus on her mental health. It riled up the right-wing who called her “selfish” and a “disgrace” without acknowledging her actual feats. However, it was not the only thing that made Simone Biles one of the most controversial celebrities this year.

Moreover, the court barred him from leaving Mumbai or India without the permission of the bureau and special NDPS court.

Many controversies surrounded his arrest including the one when critics and other celebrities argued that the authorities unfairly targeted the family of a Muslim celebrity. Those who arrested Khan were unable to recover any drugs from him which intensified the controversy and calls to release him as soon as possible. NCB alleged that Khan was a part of a larger conspiracy to procure drugs from an international network. However, the support for Khan remained strong as there was already a familiar pattern of Bollywood stars being tied to cases related to drugs.

Alec Baldwin

The top search on Google regarding controversial celebrities is none other than Alec Baldwin. The veteran actor accidentally killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins with a prop gun while shooting for the Hollywood film ‘Rust’.  Director Joel Souza also sustained injuries, who is still recovering from the damage done by the projectile. Baldwin claimed that he didn’t pull the trigger. He explained that he only pulled the hammer back slightly while rehearsing a scene, but when he let go, the gun discharged itself. The actor added that if he was sure that he was responsible for the death of Helena, he would have taken his own life.

The authorities have been reportedly investigating how a live round ended up in the prop weapon. Investigators described that there was “some complacency” in how the weapons were being handled on the film set. However, they said it was too early to file any charges
