15 Celebs Whose Career Should’ve Been Ruined By These Moments

3. Stephen Rannazzisi Lied About Being There On 9/11

Stephen Rannazzisi was one of the fantastic actors that helped make The League such an outstanding show. When talking about his life in the past, Rannazzisi had talked about his experiences from 9/11,

“I was there and then the first tower got hit and we were like jostled all over the place. I still have dreams of like, you know, those falling dreams.”

Rannazzisi then said it inspired him to travel to Los Angeles and pursue his dreams. But in 2015, an investigation by the New York Times uncovered that Rannazzisi had been lying about the entire thing.

Despite this, Rannazzisi still has an active podcast and is also lending his voice to the 2017 film Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars.

2. Jimmy Page Had A Relationship With A 14-Year-Old

Jimmy Page may have been an outstanding musician, but you may lose respect for him when you discover who a major object of his affection was. Despite being at least in his 20s, Page entered in a relationship with the then 14-year-old, Lori Maddox during the early 1970s.

While the relationship was literally illegal, it continued for several years. There is no argument that Page was immensely talented, but relationships with that extreme of an age difference are illegal for a reason. And considering the power that Page must have felt he had with his status as a rock God and the fact that he could have easily found a woman that was of a legal age, makes the whole thing feel even ickier.

1. David Letterman Slept With His Staffers

David Letterman is not the only celebrity in Hollywood that cheated on his wife. He is one of the few however who used his position of power as a late night television host and mega-celebrity to sleep with several of his staffers, though the exact number is not known.

This included Stephanie Birkitt who also appeared on the air occasionally alongside Letterman. When the numerous affairs became public, Birkitt was given a paid leave of absence.

While the television studio, Worldwide Pants, defended the relationship saying that it was not sexual harassment for their employees to sleep with each other; Letterman received a bit of heat from various celebrities and news shows including Ann Curry.
