The entertainment industry has two jobs: to provide you with entertainment and to create drama. Yes, it’s true. Every day you might come across news about a celebrity doing the most random of things in public or celebrities publicly having a feud with their families, friends, or other stars.
One thing about people in the entertainment industry is that they are always looking to stay in the limelight, and because of this, they sometimes have to go to extreme lengths to keep up with their image or stay relevant. 2022 is just another year loaded with celebrity drama and scandals. Some may leave you scarred, while others will make you scratch your head. From cannibalism to deaths on the movie sets, Hollywood has seen it all! This is why here are some of the most shocking celebrity scandals of the year 2022.
1. Armie Hammer
Right off the bat, you’ve got Armie Hammer. In January, he was accused of being involved in sexual fantasies that included violent acts, including rape and cannibalism. An Instagram account, which was run under the name of @houseofeffie, published screenshots of messages that were allegedly from Hammer himself.
It’s no shocker that the post went instantly viral, and just a few hours later, some of the biggest celebrity news outlets were reporting on the scoop. More allegations came to light after Courtney Vucekovich and Paige Lorenze, Hammer’s recent exes, shared their harrowing experiences with the actor. While the actor was quick to deny all these allegations, the damage had already been done. Hammer even opted out of a film, which was set to start filming, called “Shotgun Wedding.”
2. Kim Kardashian And Kanye West
Sometimes it feels like the world can’t get enough of these two, but it’s probably a good thing as Kayne enjoys all the attention that comes his way. After seven years of marriage, Kim filed for divorce from her estranged musician husband and moved on with her beau Pete Davidson not long after. While her fans were elated to see the reality-tv star happy again, Kanye wasn’t too pleased and made sure to let the world know about his opinions. From his random statements on Instagram to calling Pete Davidson Skete, Kanye was not afraid to let the world know about his resentment towards the pair.
3. Britney Spears
Britney is finally free after 14 years of living under a conservatorship. When the judge ended the conservatorship, Britney was off to the islands to enjoy her vacation with then-boyfriend Sam Asghari. She even got engaged and later got married. All was going well for Britney until fans started noticing some of her comments that many claimed to be a ‘jab at Christina Aguilera. Spears also landed in hot waters after her ex-husband stated in an interview that she and her sons are not on the best of terms.
