Not every celebrity cancellation is seen the same way. While some stars faced backlash that many people felt was deserved, others are seen as having been unfairly canceled. Here are some examples that people recently shared on Reddit.

Note: Some entries have been edited for length/clarity.

1. "Janet Jackson took a lot of stupid heat."

2. "Ashley Judd. Allegedly gets sexually harassed by Weinstein, and Weinstein spreads lies about her — essentially blacklisting her because she rejected him."

—JamesTheJerk

3. "Ashlee Simpson. She was caught lip syncing in the way that virtually all pop performers who dance as part of their act do. The track she was 'singing' to was her own voice, just prerecorded...but it was covered in the news like it was a Milli Vanilli situation."

4. "Monica Lewinsky. I think back to when I was her age and couldn’t imagine how she mentally survived. And yes there will be some who say she brought it upon herself by engaging with a married man who happened to be POTUS, but I’m now 52 and cringe when thinking of the stupid and outrageous things I did and said in my late teens/early 20s and couldn’t imagine anyone finding out, much less the entire world! She was incredibly young and probably insecure and way too trusting, and unfortunately, she will always be associated with a scandal."

5. "Anne Hathaway. What did she even do in the 2010s that warranted the hate."

7. "Pee-Wee Herman."

8. "Dana Plato, all because she got pregnant while she was still on her TV series, Diff'rent Strokes. They could have easily filmed around her pregnancy, and even worse, three years prior, they did an episode called 'Little Mother,' when a TV character friend of hers on the show got pregnant."

9. "Winona Ryder."

10. "Brendan Fraser got served so much shit for just speaking out against abuse."

11. "The other members of Lostprophets that had their careers ruined by their scumbag singer's secret life."

—SadBoyBidet

"I still remember reading about that for the first time. The article I saw really downplayed it in the headline, it just read something like, 'Singer of Lostprophets accused of sexual behaviour with underage victim.' I read it assuming it was going to be that he hooked up with a 15-year-old groupie or something. Then holy shit, the actual details..."

12. "Sinéad O'Connor. One of the most talented singer songwriters to ever walk this Earth. Took a brave stand against sex abuse in the Catholic Church literally DECADES before anyone else did, and paid for it for the rest of her life. All while actually being a devout, if unorthodox, follower of Jesus Christ. Anybody who ever actually listened to her music knows she was a legend, a once-in-a-lifetime talent. But to so many people she's still just a joke. She was too good for this world entirely."

13. "Kathy Griffin. The pic incident could have been totally avoided...but I don’t think she deserved to lose the amount of work she did."

—Firm_Pie_8988

14. "The Chicks. They had their entire careers ruined because they dare be anti-war and make country music as women."

15. "Eliza Dushku."

—Long_Philosophy1798

"Alleged she was fired from the show she was on back in 2019 for claiming that she and other women were being sexually harassed by one of the stars of the show, Michael Weatherly. She eventually won a $9.5 million settlement."

—MourningSun97

16. "Fiona Apple after the 'this world is bullshit' speech."

19. And finally, "Stephen Colbert...easy."

—Natural967

"I’m not even a big Colbert guy (loved him on Colbert Report, though), but...what happened to him over the last year is insane."

—TheJudge9987
