Mashonda
It turns out calling your ex-husband and his pop star wife home wreckers isn’t a particularly prudent career move. After giving Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys all the slander, Mashonda hasn’t dropped an album in a decade. She’s also been kind of an accessory on Swizz and Alicia’s vacation because struggle.

Lamar Odom
Maybe the curse of the Kardashians is real, because it’s done in Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, and Lamar Odom worse than being on a Madden cover. Although admittedly, Odom’s alleged love of the coco surely didn’t help his NBA career.

Tameka Foster
After being dragged for the entirety of her two-year marriage to Usher, celebrity stylist Tameka Foster has pretty much disappeared from the spotlight after getting hit with those papers in 2009.

Tom Cruise
To be clear, Tom Cruise is still raking in fistfuls of dough from movies that nobody you know has actually seen. But the majority of the public think he’s crazy off the strength of jumping on Oprah’s couch and being devoted to Scientology.

Kris Humphries
While Kim and Kanye were slandering him, Kris quietly got paid to the tune of $24 million from the Brooklyn Nets. He’s still a serviceable NBA player. It’s just that nobody cares anymore.

Robin Thicke
The spotlight hasn’t been particularly kind to Alan’s baby boy after he was slandered for being a cheater, who stayed drunk and high. He bounced back after his attempted cape album, Paula, but nobody’s really checking for dude’s music right now.

Chad Johnson
Mr. Ochocinco was already at the tail end of a career that would see him gracefully transition from the NFL to VH1’s reality circuit. But a head-butt to Evelyn caused both VH1 and the Miami Dolphins to drop him amid scandal.

Girls Next Door
Seeing as how their entire career was based on boning an octogenarian, the checks have slowed down considerably for Kendra, Bridget, and Holly after throwing the deuces to Hugh Hefner.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
“The Governator” saw his high-profile, 25-year marriage to Maria Shriver terminated after admitting he knocked up his cleaning lady in 2011.
