9 Celebrities Whose Relationships Destroyed Their Careers
When it comes to the institution of marriage, research says that the quality of our relationships affects our success in different ways. There’s no surprise that a toxic relationship can result in career destruction. Some people won’t believe it, because they can manage to avoid the negative effects of a breakup marriage and easily put the noise of it under control. So their careers will be as minimally affected as possible.
However, celebrities whose careers have always been associated with fame can't stop the news of their broken relationship from spreading in the press. Their story will be beyond everyone's expectations and someone must be held accountable for this scandal. That means either man or woman will be blamed for their marriage breakup. And then, the one who is considered guilty, will not have the support of the majority of people. In other words, people will turn away from that celebrity and as a result, that person's career is bound to go downhill for a significant time, or forever.
Below are 10 celebrities whose relationships destroyed their careers. Let’s scroll down and check them out!
She was on her way to the top when she landed what then seemed like a dream job starring opposite Depp in “The Rum Diary”.However, her acting career was overshadowed soon after the star couple started dating. Even her roles as a superheroine and undersea royal were washed away by their very messy divorce. The painful breakup dragged on in the courts and tabloids for years. Now, Heard is still acting, but she might have been an even bigger star had she never waded into the deep end with Depp.
Although the bride wore a dress once worn by a famous actress, the groom opted for a more casual outfit than green pajamas. This unsatisfactory start isn't the first warning sign for the self-destructive couple. Their battles with substance abuse are well documented, and being together may have exacerbated their problems. Cobain's marriage ended with his suicide in 1994, prompting millions of fans across the country and the world to mourn his loss.
Despite the film’s success, she didn’t appear in the sequel, which we’re sure had nothing to do with her co-star modeling his “American Psycho” character on Cruise’s mannerisms. Some fans assumed Cruise and the birth of their daughter, Suri, portrayed part in her years-long hiatus from acting.
After they slit up, Spears went through some extremely public difficulties, culminating with her notorious head-shaving incident. The singer recovered with a sold-out residency in Las Vegas, but the 2007 breakdown continues to mar her career.
Brown made some fans consider him a destructive bomb when he was charged with battery against Houston. Her husband’s reality TV show didn’t help as it portrayed Houston negatively. However, the singer bounced back a few years later before tragically passing away.
But everything changed when Jenny dated Ben Affleck. The duo’s 2003 comedy “Gigli” bombed hard as J.Lo found it difficult to brush off the box office stink, notably entering a professional rough patch. Thankfully, the beauty from the Bronx battled back to the top when becoming a judge for “American Idol” and starring in 2019’s “Hustlers”.
Jolie had achieved remarkable awards and generally slayed it before she dated Brad Pitt. During their marriage, it seems like the duo has zero luck making films together. We can name some movies that weren’t deserved their names and the latter performed embarrassingly at the box office, such as “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “By The Sea”.
