Announcement mistakes are crucial as they can potentially make or break one’s career. Considering it to do more harm than good, Warren Beatty is not an exception. One mistake impacted his potential investments.

Back in the 2017 Academy Awards for the Best Picture, Warren Beatty opened an envelope. He then made a pause instead of announcing the winner.

Though it could have been something to celebrate, a producer called out the award and revealed that it should have been Moonlight.

He also managed to star in commercials such as Son of the Mask and Malibu’s Most Wanted. Though he landed a few projects, most were not able to give him a jump on his career.

The projects may have allowed him to start a few investments, but his New Year’s Eve stint threw him off. In 2013 he made a remark about Psy, a Korean artist, was a bit vulgar. Aside from his hosting, the entire production was a fail due to technical issues.

Her fame took a huge blow in 2017 when she posted an unusual photo. She was holding the head of a mannequin of U.S. President Donald Trump covered in blood. Although it must have been a light joke for her, it was seen as a threat against the President of The United States.

Fogle caught the sandwich chain’s attention after announcing that he lost a significant amount of weight by sticking with Subway sandwiches as part of his diet. With his rise to fame, he managed to land a few roles in the film industry.

Although he was tagged as a spokesperson, which should have prompted him to be a good example, Fogle landed a lawsuit and jail time. In 2015, he was arrested for child pornography and child prostitution where he pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

PAUL REUBENS

Known as the famous Pee-Wee Herman, Paul Reubens managed to nab a spot in the limelight. His character became an iconic profile where it appeared in successful film and TV productions in the ’80s. Before he launched his acting career, his money management skills were probably what kept him out of financial woes. As a fresh graduate, he juggled working as a salesman and in the kitchen of a restaurant.

A year of being in the spotlight eventually took its toll. His career took a downfall when he was arrested for indecent exposure in 1991. After taking a long hiatus, he once again made the headlines in 2002 for a different charge.

Being on top of her game, her stardom suddenly collapsed with just one post. She posted an article on her website with the title, Why I Sympathize with Hitler, so her antisemitic and pro-Nazi sentiments brought her downfall.
