While we know that celebrities are people just like us, they’re also not entirely like us. What we mean by that is while they’re human beings, their status is usually somehow higher than the one we hold.
And, often enough, this status is built on specific secrets and the revelation of them could be detrimental to some careers. One might say they have some “skeletons in their closets”. So, today, let’s discuss what, in netizens’ opinions, celebs are definitely hiding those skeletons.

Keanu Reeves, in my opinion, is much kinder and more compassionate than he appears in public.

The interesting thing about us all is that we all have secrets, some say, on average, 13 at a time. Or maybe it’s not that interesting a fact, given that we all have them. Well, at least what’s interesting for sure are those secrets themselves.
But the essence of a secret is that it’s something that no one else besides you or very few people know about. If more did, it’s not a secret anymore; it morphs into a fact. Some secrets are okay with being turned into a fact. Actually, with some, it’s even advisable to make them this way – as the saying goes, getting things off your chest.

100% Oprah. You can’t have associations with so many criminals without having gotten her own hands dirty someway.

After all, it’s a proven psychological phenomenon that some things seem way bigger before talking them out. That’s due to the fact that our brain loves to dramatize things, especially more negative ones. That’s called negativity bias.
It’s when our brains learn more from negative experiences than positive ones, and so it keeps replaying them when faced with something similar. That’s been used for survival, but sometimes it only brings detriment. Just thinking about the worst possible scenario, even if it’s highly unrealistic.

Sorry to bring up politics – but Lindsey Graham (Senator from South Carolina)…that guy has some skeletons for sure! Every time he opens his mouth, I think: Trump has “something” on him, no doubt.

Kris Jenner
Edit: She has ties to Lou M. Taylor and Diddy.

And so, sometimes it’s just better to talk about everything with someone else, whether it’s a fear or a secret, and so you can realize it was not that big of a deal to begin with. That’s why therapy is such a useful psychological healing tool.
At the same time, other secrets are better kept hidden. Their revelation might hurt a person. For example, if someone realizes they are a part of LGBTQ+, but they reveal that might get them hurt, that secret is better kept undisclosed until safer times arrive.

Brad Pitt his kid recorded him beating Angelina and smashing his plane when he was drunk. He then attacked the kid recording him. His kids want nothing to do with him …. If it happened once it’s happened before. He’s been suing his wife ever since her and the kids left I assume it’s to keep his secrets quiet. She tried to sell her parts of the winery and various other ventures and he sued her …. He’s desperate to control her life.

Mr. Beast. Something doesn’t seem right.
its-easy-mkay replied:
He was absolute jerk before he got really famous. A lot of people don’t realise that he used to have a YouTube channel where he made fun of peoples YouTube intros, most of these intros were by young kids who didn’t have high-quality cameras or were just having fun. The channels he always mocked were smaller channels with low sub counts. As he shifted his content, he scrubbed his channel of these videos and suddenly he was this wholesome nice guy.

Quentin Tarantino. He has so many red flags. Weinstein association, publicly and adamantly defended Roman Polanski, and so many creepy subtle intimate things he inserts into his movies for his own pleasure. The guy is a massive weirdo and when he faces a serious allegation or is proven to have done something awful I won’t be the least bit surprised. His movies are pretty good though. .

Revealed secrets can also ruin someone’s reputation or career. For example, if someone did something rather immoral back in the day, this coming out might destroy everything they have. Such cases can apply to the executive of some company, as well as any of the people mentioned in today’s listicle.
A great example of a celebrity’s secret coming out and ruining their reputation is Ellen DeGeneres. Her coming out as a lesbian back in the day impacted her career in a major way, causing her career setbacks and hate mail, and leading her to depression. But she was still able to make a name for herself.

Jay Z and Beyonce.
Ok-Yogurt-3914 replied:
The issue with Beyonce is that her father is probably the culprit of a a lot of her issues. I mean, it’s been said for years. They would bite off other artists and call it their own ideas. Like change some words in lyrics, and try to claim rights. When she got with Jay, a man much older than her, I’m sure she kept doing whatever he told her to do. I think that’s why people give her grace.
Now, I remember Wendy William mentioned many times in her show that she knew them and that Beyonce was “not bright at all.” I’m not trying to defend her, but her interviews do say as much. I’m 10000% that’s why doesn’t give out interviews anymore. One wrong sentence, and it will all come tumbling down for both of them.

I think Dr. Phil has a lot more shady dealings than we know about. We all kind of knew Russel Brand was a creep. Realistically I think if you name any celebrity other than perhaps Tom Hanks most people would go – yeah, probably.

Steve Harvey is a major jerk but I bet it’s much worse than what is widely known about.

Besides her, people online have almost guaranteed that these mentioned folks are definitely hiding something – and it’s only a matter of time before it comes out. And who knows, they might be true.
After all, even if the whole drama surrounding the Epstein files and the revelations about which people are in them is shattering a lot of carefully crafted images these days. And who knows what else, like that, is hiding in the shadows.
What do you think – do any of those celebs seem suspicious to you?

Leo DiCaprio surely does.
A_Swan_Broke_My_Arm replied:
I (obviously) dont know the guy, but I get the impression he – the rich, handsome and charismatic actor – isn’t so much ‘dodgy’, and more… just sitting in his Hollwood palace not saying ‘no’ to who ever may come his way.

Ryan Reynolds.
Rripurnia replied:
A YouTuber recently dug up an old print interview of his where he very casually mentioned that he deliberately started a fire at his elementary school.
The YouTuber then found the incident report about said fire on the front page of the Vancouver Sun, and the damage was rather extensive — an entire wing was burned down!
No one was ever caught, but the timeline eerily aligned with Ryan’s story. Ryan, by the way, appears to have found it extremely funny.
So, he’s at the very least a (self-admitted) arsonist.

Jack Nicholson.
MikoSkyns replied:
Based on the skeletons that aren’t in his closet, he probably has some major ones hidden IN the closet.
Check out the story about him being violent to a worker so bad she had brain damage.

It’s always a celebrity that everyone is very “meh” on, but it still ends up surprising
My guess is Chris Pratt.

Yeah, talking about your “perfect” children and dismissing the one that he felt was “imperfect” was the last straw for me.

Scrolled way too far for this one.
From a gone girlfriend to wayyyy too many associations with bad people who eventually got caught, it can’t be that many coincidental relationships.

David Walliams. There’s more. Surely.
NotQuiteAsCool replied:
Something big coming out soon, I reckon. All these sudden drops from companies suggest something is in the works, same thing started happening with Russell brand just before all the big allegations came out. And Walliams is as creepy as Brand IMO

Rupert Murdoch and Bernie Ecclestone.
BorkieDorkie811 replied:
I don’t think Bernie has any skeletons in his closet because that would mean keeping a secret. He’s always been very happy to let people know what a jerk he is.

Fred Armisen. There was a lot of talk about him being a creep by the same people who accurately spilled the beans on Kevin Spacey years before anything blew up publicly about him.

Rock stars of the past have gotten a massive pass on all kinds of insane and disgusting behavior, not just because they’re rich and famous (which helps) but because we somehow expect and glorify much of that “lifestyle.”.
