The 10 Most HATED Celebrities of 2025

#10: Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni

As 2024 came to an end, a legal battle erupted between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over their highly publicized dispute during the production of “It Ends with Us.” Lively surfaced first with a bombshell suit alleging Baldoni caused her “severe emotional distress” and orchestrated a social media “smear campaign” with a crisis PR firm. Baldoni followed with a $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, accusing the power couple of defamation, civil extortion, and interfering with his career. As lawsuits mounted, both stars faced a worsening PR nightmare in 2025. It's evident that this he-said-she-said quarrel is majorly harming both stars’ public appeal.

#9: Rachel Zegler

Rachel Zegler is facing a rough year, especially with “Snow White” flopping at the box office. Of course, her casting in the film was fiercely criticized from the get-go with some arguing the role should have gone to a Caucasian actress, while others felt a more established star was better suited. Zegler also openly criticized the original “Snow White,” calling it outdated and sexist, further alienating fans. Plus, she and co-star Gal Gadot have clashed over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while conservatives have targeted her for denouncing Donald Trump’s presidential victory. With controversy following her at every turn, public support for Zegler is nearly non-existent.

#8: Andrew Tate

Andrew Tate’s reputation was already controversial, but 2025 has brought new allegations and legal troubles that have further cemented his status as one of the most disliked figures on the internet. The social media influencer is facing a new lawsuit from ex-girlfriend Brianna Stern, accusing him of indecent assault and battery. She claims Tate lured her into an abusive relationship and caused her physical harm. This adds to Tate’s existing legal troubles in Romania, where he and his brother were charged with trafficking and exploitation. Through his attorney, Tate denies all the allegations, but with mounting public outrage, his influence appears to be waning in a big way.

#7: JoJo Siwa

JoJo Siwa has gone from child star to one of the most polarizing figures in entertainment. In 2025, her drastic image overhaul continues to leave long-time fans confused. While she’s defended her transformation as artistic expression, critics argue she’s trying too hard to be edgy and that her new persona comes across as laughable. Also sparking a mixed reaction from the public is Siwa's “Dream Guest VIP” concert package. Priced at over $900, it includes fans helping her crew “set up” and “put together” her concert. With many decrying the nature of the “perk,” JoJo continues to be one of the most talked about - and criticized - figures in show biz. Oh, and that’s not even mentioning her “Bette Davis Eyes” cover.

#6: Alec Baldwin & Hilaria Baldwin

The Baldwins are no stranger to public scrutiny – and 2025 is proving no exception. The couple sparked quite the firestorm after Hilaria snapped at Alec for interrupting her in a viral red-carpet interview, with both Alec and Hilaria drawing criticism for their part in the awkward exchange. Meanwhile, the couple has been called out over their new reality series. The “fly on the wall” look at their family in the lead up to Alec's “Rust” trial has been lambasted for being in extremely poor taste. The pair’s social media presence has also done little to help their reputation, with many calling their posts out of touch.

#5: Drake

The fallout from Drake’s brutal rap feud with Kendrick Lamar carried over from 2024, with Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” explicitly framing Drake and members of his circle as predatory, a record that effectively cemented public perception that Drake “lost” the battle. The Canadian rap superstar escalated things by filing a federal defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing his own label group of profiting off false allegations and claiming the song’s promotion led to security incidents at his Toronto home and damage to his brand before contract talks. In October, a U.S. judge dismissed the case, ruling the lyrics were non-actionable opinion within a rap beef, and Drake has since appealed.

#4: Kim Kardashian

For years, Kim Kardashian weathered waves of public criticism yet maintained an almost unshakeable cultural foothold. In 2025, that balance finally tipped. The breaking point arrived with the premiere of “All’s Fair,” the Ryan Murphy-helmed Hulu legal drama positioned as her prestige crossover to serious acting. Despite pulling in curiosity-driven early views, the show was demolished by critics who called it flat, inert, and devoid of dramatic credibility. The cultural conversation hardened within hours: Kardashian’s performance became a punchline and the entire project was framed as a vanity vehicle that collapsed under its own hype.

#3: Kanye West (or Ye)

Will Kanye West ever regain public favor? Not if 2025 is any indication. Once considered “un-cancelable,” Ye’s ongoing controversies - marked by antisemitic remarks, strange behavior, and provocative stunts - have strengthened his status as one of pop culture’s most polarizing figures. So far this year, Kanye has sparked outrage by selling highly offensive shirts featuring a hate symbol on his website. He also faced backlash for his ex, Bianca Censori’s, nearly nude appearance on the Grammys red-carpet - reportedly his idea. Despite the criticism, Kanye remains outspoken, posting erratically on social media and leaving the public both perplexed and increasingly concerned about his well-being.

#2: Elon Musk

Whether he’s a visionary leading humanity to new heights or an outsider intent on dismantling the U.S. government, there’s no denying Elon Musk’s appetite for attention – for better or worse. 2025 started with Musk giving a highly speculative salute at Donald Trump’s victory rally and later wielding a chainsaw at a conservative event. Meanwhile, “takedown Tesla” protests were seen across the globe, with activists targeting the CEO and his Tesla dealerships. They are encouraging the public to sell their Tesla electric vehicles, “dump” their stock and “stop Elon Musk.” Musk rather memorably fell out (and later made peace) with President Trump, but the damage is done — how much are his antics costing him in the long run?

#1: Sean “Diddy” Combs

While 2024 solidified Sean “Diddy” Combs’ place as the most reviled name in Hollywood, 2025 firmly locked that status in. Facing federal charges including racketeering, trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, Diddy’s trial spanned May to July of 2025. Prosecutors detailed an alleged criminal enterprise involving forced labor, kidnapping, and bribery – not to mention his so-called “Freak Offs.” The disgraced rapper also faced an onslaught of civil lawsuits alleging various unlawful acts against men, women, and even youths. While Combs consistently denied all allegations against him, he was ultimately found guilty of transportation to engage in those exact unlawful acts, and handed down a 50-month prison sentence.
