Has any other actor destroyed their own reputation to the same level as will smith

Eeeeeeeh....yes? Kevin Spacey comes to mind. Diddy too. And thanks to home alone 2, Donald fucking Trump

Don't forget Mel Gibson.

Afaik, he used to be pretty much universally beloved until people found out what a heinous bigot he is from that leaked voice message to his ex wife..

I was going to say Gibson. he's slowly making a comeback though. Here's hoping he took a long look at himself in the mirror

Bill Cosby too

I would argue that not only has there been actors who've ruined their reputations to the same level, some of them have well exceeded it.

Many have done much worse than slap a guy onstage.

So has Will Smith. Perhaps not pedo shit, but that, "I like pretty girls" song with AI generated crouds is doing him no favors!

Watching his wife control him and destroy him is basically what caused him to lose my respect haha

Most of Hollywood is either directly engaging in pedophilia and/or sex trafficking; or are aware that their colleagues are involved in these crimes.

So, I'd say about every one of them.

Hell, I'd say the people that are outwardly displaying mental breakdowns are the most normal people in that industry.
