The List of the Most-Disliked Celebrities of 2025 Ignites a Stir — Who Is Included

Over the past year, one crowdsourced list in particular has drawn intense attention, not just for who appears on it, but for how strongly people feel about the results.

Public opinion has long had a complicated relationship with fame, and in 2025, that tension appears particularly pronounced. Online rankings and digital polling continue to reflect how admiration can shift into fatigue or disapproval as public figures remain under constant scrutiny.

Compiled through audience voting, the ranking illustrates how visibility, controversy, and perceived behavior intersect in shaping reputations. Some of the names listed are familiar fixtures of public backlash, while others may surprise even seasoned observers.

Published by Ranker, the list is not final and continues to change as readers cast new votes. The list is based on cumulative votes signaling negative public sentiment rather than legal guilt or moral judgment. The platform notes that it intends to examine why certain celebrities draw sustained criticism, not to vilify them.

Taken together, the results offer a snapshot of how the public is reassessing entertainers, business leaders, and media figures in a rapidly evolving cultural landscape.

Another commenter added, "Meagan can definitely do things that makes me roll my eyes, but she's not out here committing crimes or hurting anybody. She's just irritating."

Another Redditor expressed disbelief at her placement, "Meghan and Oprah are more hated than Bill Cosby, Chris Brown, and Andrew Tate, who have all abused/assaulted women. And they are more hated than Travis Scott, who's behavior played a part in the death of a child.. This list is unbelievable."
