Which celebrity has had the hardest fall from grace?

This isn't a popular one but Bobby Driscoll. He was one of Disney's golden kids back in the 40s and 50s. Ended up an addict and broke. Some kids found him dead in a run down place. Everyone just thought he was a homeless man and buried in an unmarked grave. Still there today.

To be honest it's hard to look any further than Kevin Spacey, he went from one of the most respected and sought after actors in the world to just a plain child molester in the space of 15 minutes.

Obvious answers like Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, etc... ...but my answer for this is actually Katherine Heigl (don't think I saw her name in this thread yet)... She went from being in the top movies & TV shows in the mid-2000's to basically being blacklisted by the industry for a while there because she chose to drop out of the Emmy Race for her role on Grey's Anatomy because she thought the writing sucked and called the writers of the show out on it... She was gone the next season... She could have been in any role she wanted beforehand and now people didn't want to work with her. Her career over the next few years was shitty roles in shittier movies and a few TV commercials... Big 180 turn around of events based on her choice to trash talk her peers on her TV show...

Not the biggest, but Robin Thicke was pretty extreme. From biggest single in the world and performing at the Grammys to cheating, divorce, record low number of albums sold on his follow up 'Paula', and now Marvin Gaye's family successfully winning the lawsuit allleging Blurred Lines was copywritten. Add in the death of this dad and he's really had some bad years since his previous high.

Not sure if he’s considered a celebrity outside of the UK or Australia, but Rolf Harris. Beloved children’s entertainer found to have sexually abused many children. Sounds like an all too familiar story these days but it was shocking as someone who’d grown up listening to him.

Aaron Carter went from a teenage heart throb to looking like a soulless corpse that has been brought back to life.

Well this one is an oldie, but Fatty Arbuckle. He was a silent film star in the early 1900’s and was accused of raping and accidentally killing Virginia Rappe at a party in his hotel room in 1921. The first two trials ended in hung juries and he was finally acquitted of all charges in the third trial. But the damage was done. IIRC, he was eventually able to find work again sometime in the 30’s, but his career was never the same and he died young (in his 40’s?) in 1933.

I honestly think Lindsay Lohan could have been on, or close to, the level of Jennifer Lawrence in Hollywood had she not turned into a coke-fueled train wreck.

Chris Brown's career took a nosedive after he beat the hell out of Rhianna. Just kidding. But I really shouldn't be.
