Coupled with an arrest for domestic assault, a secret abortion, and her lifelong struggle with anorexia, we have quite the media storm. When she's not busy publicly labeling her husband as a "meek," she's throwing caution to the wind on live television and throwing out some pretty racially charged ideas. In a 2015 episode of The View, Rivera revealed, "I think white people shower a lot more than ethnic people. I feel like showering more than once a day or every day is a very white thing to do." Rivera admitted that, as a mestizo person, she showers "once or twice every three days." Unsurprisingly, many people found her comments offensive and the actress later apologized.

Raven-Symoné's Employment Policies Remember when Raven-Symoné was a Disney Channel darling? If only the real-life Raven could have seen the future... Since Raven-Symoné joined The View as a full-time co-host in 2015, she has frequently been criticized for her views on race. . She told Oprah that she does not identify as "African American" and also argued that Harriet Tubman didn't deserve to be on the twenty dollar bill. The former Disney star then admitted on live television that she supports discrimination in the workplace if someone's name sounds too ethnic, saying, "I'm not going to hire you if your name is Watermelandrea.
It's just not going to happen. No." "I'm going to hire you." The actress eventually publicly apologized and admitted to being a victim of workplace discrimination on numerous fronts. Joaquin Phoenix… being Joaquin Phoenix In 2008, Joaquin Phoenix stopped acting, grew a beard and became a rapper. After some disastrous performances and public appearances, it was revealed that the two-year mental breakdown was completely staged for the mockumentary I'm Still Here. Of course, Phoenix's faux descent into madness wouldn't be so infamous if it hadn't been for his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. It was so uncomfortably full of awkward pauses that Letterman joked, "What can you tell us about your days with the Unabomber?" Phoenix later apologized and was brushed off by Letterman during a follow-up appearance. "But I apologize, I hope I haven't offended you in any way." "Oh no, oh no no no no.
I wasn't offended!" But the general public didn't like his fake mental breakdown so much. Phoenix told the Daily Mail: "There was definitely a period after I'm Still Here where there was a noticeable difference in the quality of films I was offered." Kanye's Call These days, Kanye West regularly receives friendly gestures from President Trump on social media, sports a "Make America Great Again" style, and has publicly claimed that slavery was a choice. But during a Red Cross telethon in 2005, as the rapper was helping raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina, he announced, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." West later apologized to George W.
Bush because he, quote, "had no reason to call him a racist." Miley's Third Wheel Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj used to be pretty friendly. The couple even posed together in a 2013 studio snapshot and sat next to each other at the 2015 Grammys. Cyrus later told the New York Times that Minaj wasn't very nice. Cyrus was responding to a minor dispute between Minaj and Taylor Swift. Minaj tweeted that her song "Anaconda" was rejected by the VMAs in favor of women with "very thin bodies," and Swift assumed the tweet was about her, when she wasn't. They cleared

things

up and all was well in the pop world, until Cyrus opened her mouth.
The feud played out on live television during the MTV VMAs when, after her win, Minaj said, "Going back to this bitch who had a lot to say about me the other day in the press: Miley, what's good?" . Minaj later told MTV that she felt Cyrus should have been more sensitive to black issues if she wanted to enjoy the culture. The two reportedly buried the hatchet in 2017. Jamie Foxx's Transphobic Prank While hosting the 2015 iHeartRadio Awards, Jamie Foxx opted for a roast-like monologue that took aim at Suge Knight for his hit-and-run murder charges. But what came next was much worse. "We have Bruce Jenner, he'll be here doing some musical performances.
He's doing a duet between him and her alone." At the time, Caitlyn had yet to make her Vanity Fair debut and the only evidence of her lifelong struggle with gender dysphoria were tabloid rumors and a new hairstyle. Afterwards, Foxx didn't just suffer the unwavering wrath of the Internet. The Kardashian clan also joined in, with both Khloé Kardashian and Kanye reportedly expressing their disappointment at Foxx's cheap shot, which he insisted was not transphobic. "They made up a name, 'transophobia' or something. I didn't even know what that was." Tom Cruise's judicious interview In 2005, famous Scientologist Tom Cruise debated the merits of modern psychiatry on Today. "I never agreed with psychiatry, ever.
Before I was a Scientologist, I never agreed with psychiatry." In the interview, the star called psychiatry a "pseudoscience," criticized Brooke Shields for using antidepressants to treat her postpartum depression and claimed, "There's no such thing as a chemical imbalance." Cruise later apologized to Shields for calling it "irresponsible" that she treated her depression with doctor-prescribed medication. He also apologized to Matt Lauer for the off-the-wall interview. Samuel L. Jackson is not Laurence Fishburne Laurence Fishburne is a sci-fi superstar who has been in The Matrix, Passengers, and Event Horizon. Samuel L. Jackson is an action legend who starred in Pulp Fiction and The Hateful Eight.
One taught us the difference between red and blue pills, while the other got those damn snakes off the damn plane. They are not the same type and do not look alike at all. But KTLA news reporter Sam Rubin learned this the hard way when he asked Samuel L. Jackson about his Super Bowl commercial. "Did you have a lot of reactions to that Super Bowl commercial?" "What Super Bowl commercial?" The problem was that Jackson didn't do a Super Bowl commercial, Laurence Fishburne did. Jackson joked: "You're as crazy as the people on Twitter. I'm not Laurence Fishburne!" The following Monday, Rubin apologized and admitted it was an embarrassing "amateur mistake." Later that year, Fishburne lamented to The Guardian about having been confused with Jackson for the past 25 years.
As for the live TV issue, he wasn't offended, but he thought it was pretty funny that Jackson called Rubin. "We don't all look alike. We may all be black and famous, but we don't all look alike."
