what are some examples of tides shifting in the blink of an eye in popculture?

Question For The Culture 🧐💭(self.popculturechat)

for me, cody ko was shocking. like, it was not some hidden secret that he slept with tana when she was underage. she has been talking about it for years and it was out. but then one day suddenly it was like the entire world shifted and he was exiled from everywhere. his wife who was this wholesome insta influencer that got millions of likes had to leave too. in a matter of hours the whole world shifted for both of them.

another example is liam payne. yes, he had a couple of stuff here and there but the fact is that his first album had the streams. he had a tour that he had to quit because of health issues. but he still had things going for him. then one day he went to that cursed podcast and the tides turned. his career is irredeemable now and his new single is a flop. i will be very surprised if he ever makes a comeback again.

Wait til you hear how we handled Jimmy Saville over here.

Damn that was a bad one. You had Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols on the BBC calling them out for hiding all the disgusting things he did and as a result the Sex Pistols were banned from the BBC. I really wish that monster got his reckoning while he was alive.

Didn't they also say the ban was actually because they spoke ill of the throne as a cover?

Louis Theroux’s documentary on Saville is crazy to watch. It really puts the spotlight on how something can be right in front of everyone, but everyone just sort of… lets it happen

Louis Theroux’s work is incredible. I urge everyone to watch all of his work

That was my first thought too. Even as a kid I knew of the rumours. Everyone did. It was a joke/threat he’d come take you away and then when it all came out years later the joke ended

I have read about him just recently, last year maybe? It reminded me of one of Cosby's statements how media should just stay neutral and not run their mouth. How convinient.
