Gilbert Gottfried
Gilbert Gottfried, better remembered for his voice acting as the Aflac duck, landed in hot water after tweeting about the Tsunami in Japan, which killed thousands of people. He said, “Japan is very advanced.” They go to the beach, not to the beach.” His work as the duck was quickly terminated, which is ironic considering that most of Aflac’s business is conducted in…JAPAN.
Paula Deen
Paula Deen really put her foot in her mouth with this one. According to news, the home cook mogul fosters an “evil, homophobic, and racist” atmosphere in her home. THEN it was discovered that during her life, Deen had “of course” used racial slurs against black people. She deflected all criticism with shock and disbelief that what she’d said had really hurt someone, rather than apologizing.
