Celebrity breakdowns – that’s one thing you can’t miss in the headlines today. While we all love celebrities and can’t seem to get enough of them we know they’re only human after all. They keep us entertained with their silly indulgences and all-too-public reactions to stress. However, a bunch of these celebrities seems to have taken things all too far. Let’s be honest, most of us love to see the high and mighty turn into accidental laughing stocks. Love it or hate it – it doesn’t matter because that’s one thing that will never change. Talking about celebrity meltdowns, Hollywood does have a fair share of it. From the once innocent-looking Britney Spears to the ladies’ dream man Tom Cruise, I give you a wrap-up of 20 celebrity meltdowns that have made headlines.
1. Britney Spears
Think your secret crush next-door is sexier? Well, Britney Spears would have beaten her hands down, back in the day, no one would debate that. Britney was the girl who had it all, be it talent or that figure that oozes sexiness. I mean, she had a whole package of “goodies” all to herself. However, personal issues and erratic behavior (such as the infamous hair-shaving incident) sent the diva’s career into hiatus.

After she left her husband Kevin Federline she spiraled out of control, parted without panties with Paris Hilton and attacked paparazzi with an umbrella. To make it worse, her visitation rights to her sons were taken away. But lo and behold, now that she is in her 30s she has settled down and recently embarked on a successful tour. Let’s hope things stay that way.
2. Amanda Bynes
This actress, comedian, and fashion designer rose to prominence early in her age. Pretty and downright cute, she’s one lady that kept men glued to their screens. However, things took a nasty twist and she began to have her woes back in 2010. Personal problems forced her to take an indefinite hiatus from acting. Reckless endangerment and marijuana possession got her a 3-year probation.
Daily Mail
She underwent a mental-health evaluation and is currently under treatment for bipolar disorder. Now three years sober, Amanda works with a life coach and is graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing. Rumor has it that she’s expected to make a comeback sometime in 2018. We’re waiting for it!

3. Mel Gibson
Talk of the serious actors of the 80s and 90s and Mel Gibson is sure to make it at the top of the list. This is an actor who has numerous action-packed movies to his name.
Well, Gibson’s meltdown is something that most people saw coming. In fact, I’d call it a well-deserved downfall, no apologies. It all started back in the early 2000s. From a string of racist antisemitic outbursts, alcohol abuse, to legal issues, Gibson is a man with a long, complicated saga. Word has it that he’s made a comeback, forgiven, and back in the saddle.
4. Christian Bale
Earning a place in the top 100 sexiest men in the world is no joke. In fact, you stand a great chance going to the moon than making it to the list. Well, famous “Batman” actor Bale has bagged it all. Not only is he searingly hot, but also among the most versatile talented actors of his generation.

However, to every coin there are two sides, right? Bale is one actor who’s difficult to work with and makes demands that are just out of this world. He seems to have taken things a bit too far when he screamed at the crew at one point. Well, we all love you Bale but you need to style up man.

5. Chris Brown
Chris Brown – this is a guy that every child in the neighborhood knows, and for good reason. He’s one of the best singers of his generation and has made it to the Billboard chart a time too many. Brown has had a significant media attention recently, but this time, the guy’s on the wrong side.
Credit: @Chris Brown
The singer has pleaded guilty to felony, assault and earned a 5-year probation followed by a 6-month community service. As if domestic violence cases against then-girlfriend Rihanna wasn’t enough, he recently got media attention after trying to choke a female pal. Well, cool down man, before you bite off more than you can chew.
6. Hugh Grant
Holly Scandal
Skilled satirical comic – this is one area that Grant is sure to beat you hands down. He first came to the limelight in 1987 and achieved international success in 1994. But come to think of it, what bad thing could such a sexy satirical actor do?
Alastair Grant/Associated Press
Well, guess what, he was arrested for indecent behavior in a public place and actually has no excuse for it. Why on earth would he consort with a prostitute when he was in a long-term relationship with the beautiful model, Elizabeth Hurley by his side?

7. Courtney Love
This actress/singer has had a successful career that spans four decades. Even then, she hasn’t been spared from the roughness of time. In fact, her life has been a rough ride. Struggles with drug addiction and legal troubles have made Love a subject of significant media attention.
Credit: @Courtney Love Cobain
With one meltdown after another, Courtney tried to take her own life. Well, that seems to have made things worse by getting her a restraining order from her daughter. Whether she’s a victimized genius or human train wreck, one thing for sure – she’s one celebrity in a cold climate.
8. Martin Lawrence
Who doesn’t know Martin Lawrence, the comedian best known for his role in “Big Momma’s House.” Well, it seems life doesn’t smile to funny comedians either.
Credit: @Martin Lawrence
He lashed out in a violent rage that saw him hospitalized back in 1995. His woes kept coming as he was arrested one year later for erratic behavior. Another arrest came in 1997 after punching a man. Lawrence nearly died in 1999 after collapsing from heat exhaustion and going into a comma. The good news is that he’s back on track since then.

9. Mariah Carey

I recently ditched my sleeping pills for Mariah Carey’s soothing voice. Tell you what, her voice is simply the sound of perfection. Did I forget to mention that she’s been involved with several charitable organizations?
Credit: @Mariah Carey
Well, her meltdown almost drives me to tears. The diva’s first film debut wasn’t a success, something that the whole public knew about. Just afterward, she went on a rampage while promoting her movie Glitter. That saw her being hospitalized right afterward.
10. Robert Downey Jr.
Downey Jr. is a respected actor in Hollywood, no doubt about that. He has the looks and a long list of credits to his name. Talking about highest paid actors, this A-lister takes a huge chunk home.
Credit: @Robert Downey Jr.
Well, he’s had career troubles from 1996 to 2001. Downey has been behind bars numerous times on drug-related charges. The actor has had a taste of the serious stuff ranging from cocaine, heroin, to marijuana. He has made a great career comeback since 2001. Know what, I love his blockbuster films and hope he doesn’t go back to his old ways.

11. Tom Cruise
What? Tom Cruise? Well, I get the reaction. This is a sexy guy that every woman wants for herself – a guy that makes millions being filmed jumping off buildings and dodging explosions. Infamously, he’s had his own meltdown and all of it is to blame on then-girlfriend Katie Holmes.
Credit: @Tom Cruise
Cruise lost it and went all public about his new relationship. I mean, jumping up and down on a couch and screaming about it in full view of the media. Sadly, the relationship he’d professed so much about didn’t last as long as his marriage to Nicole Kidman. The two split up after 5 years of marriage.

12. Kanye West
This guy is good at what he does, be it music, songwriting, or fashion design. Well, outside of that, West is one guy with outspoken views and life. Some of his woes are to blame on his “big mouth”, no apologies. I mean, why interrupt the sweet Taylor Swift in the middle of an acceptance speech?
Credit: @Kanye West
Well, I understand he had some pressure from the death of his mother but he took things too far. The rapper has had legal issues and was at some point sentenced to a 2-year probation for misdemeanor battery. That’s not to mention 250 hours of community service and a mental-health evaluation.

13. Kim Kardashian West
Kim oozes sexiness, no doubt about that. In fact, her generous figure has earned her millions. With numerous products to her name, she’s one lady that sashays her way to the bank.
Credit: @Kim Kardashian
But talk of breakdowns, she’s had it all. This style icon has a meltdown on just about every episode of her show. And guess what, she loves to keep her jewelry. In one instance, her diamond earring fell into the ocean. She couldn’t take it. She broke down!

14. Reese Witherspoon
Well, wait for a second, Reese Witherspoon, America’s Sweetheart? What, she’s not one to have a meltdown, right? On the contrary, this sweet genuine blonde has done some time behind bars.
Credit: @Reese Witherspoon
She lost her cool during one of her many public fights and was arrested while intoxicated. In fact, she had a complete career downturn from 2007-2012. She made a career comeback in 2013 and it seems she isn’t looking back any time soon.

15. Sinead O’Connor
Credit: @Sinead O’Connor
O’Connor is one singer who’s never short of controversies. Some utterances she makes has convinced many that the singer has mental-health issues. Let’s be honest here, what woman gets ordained as a Roman Catholic priest? Well, that’s just a tip of the iceberg. She further claims her mother ran a “torture chamber” and subjected her to child abuse. That’s not to mention her fight with Miley Cyrus telling her to put on some more clothes (she has a point actually).
Credit: @Riche Kingdom
This is a singer who has attempted to commit suicide eight times. She recently changed her name to Magda Davitt. The reason? She wants to be free of her “parents’ curses”. Her meltdowns are quite on the whole, don’t you think?

16. Lindsay Lohan

Born and bred in the U.S. Lohan’s fame and talent kinda turned into some sort of a “curse”. I mean, she’s had meltdown after meltdown. She’s no longer that sweet actress who graced our screens with her adorable television roles and cute Disney films.
Credit: @James Succubus
Alcohol and drugs took a better part of her. Lohan has been charged with reckless driving and giving false information to a police officer. She’s been sentenced to community service, rehabilitation lockdown, and psychotherapy. Currently, she’s out of the headlines and seems to have found a sense of calm. She’s even planning to launch a beauty brand.

17. Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber might easily be mistaken for that cute guy-next-door. But then, he’s got something that sets him apart – really apart. This is a kid who has made it big in the music industry and was Selena Gomez’s first love. Well, I envy him for that.
Credit: @Jelena🍑
Justin handles his music well, no debate about that. Apparently, he doesn’t know a thing or two about handling his temper. Bieber threatened and punched a photographer for allegedly trying to kill him. A very wild accusation, I must say. He later took to Twitter and apologized.

18. Beyoncé
Give Beyoncé the stage and she’s sure to do it justice. I mean she sings all too well and shakes what her mama gave her to near perfection. Well, chances of her being even near to a meltdown are quite remote. I think it could be blamed on her husband’s infidelity.
Credit: @Solange Knowles
She had her sister Solange beat him up good in an elevator at a Met Gala party. All this was videotaped. Well, the next time you plan to cheat on your woman, first do a careful background check and find out what her sisters are made of.

19. Lamar Odom
The former basketball player and Khloé Kardashian seemed like a perfect pair destined for each other. Unfortunately, these lovebirds didn’t stay together for long. And that’s exactly when things started going all too wrong with Odom.
Credit: @Lamar Odom
He went into a coma and was hospitalized after being diagnosed with life-threatening medical problems. Thank God, he has recovered from his huge mental meltdown.

20. Alec Baldwin
Baldwin is a funny and interesting guy with an interesting background. I mean, it’s not easy, if not rare, to find someone who comes from a family of actors. I think it runs down the genes since he and all his brothers are all actors. He brought the world to attention after his portrayal of Donald Trump before and after the inauguration.
Credit: @Alec Baldwin
Well, just like Justin Bieber, Baldwin doesn’t take things too lightly when it comes to the paparazzi photographers. He had a meltdown on one of them and accused him of being a victim of an assault. Guess what, he has a funny yet insulting name for such photographers – “fatheads.”
