    I've been reading more about Myanmar in the news recently and just can't believe she was viewed as a sort of Mandela knowing now that she is just a shlte person.

    Who else has been lauded before showing their true colours?

    Had her in the title but didn't want to name two women so took her out. What a horrible person she was.

    Crazy to think we were told for years she was a good person with celebrities endorsing her release etc... I assume almost all have now distanced themselves from her?

    Rachel Dolezal

    Decent Netflix Documentary made about her story, the Rachel divide.

    Adol Hitler, from a Corporal in WW1 blinded by gas to (arguably) the most powerful man on Earth to biting on a cyanide capsule and putting one in the side of his head with Eva Braun just taking the poison.

    need a bit of balance there.
    Nelson Mandela was sentenced for organising 23 car bombs, When he was in power he sold south african gold reserves at an all time low. Since then South Africa has reverted from nuclear energy back to coal, education standards have plummeted. ie South Africa is going down the pan for the last 20 odd years.

    Aung Suu Kyi how ever is defending here people from muslim insurgent. Big difference.

    Kevin Spacey.

    Harvey Weinstein.

    Gary Glitter.

    Brad Renfro-yeah, before his overdose. Poor guy went from promising child actor to arrested every five minutes.

    Edward Furlong-same as above.

    Bill Cosby

    Lance Armstrong-though the smell of suspicion was always on him.

    Games related-but the company Maxis (a victim of Electronic Arts).

    Richard Nixon.

    Anthony Weiner-cheating on his wife was one thing, exposing himself right next to his kid was a certain kind of sick.

    Bill Cosby - not that much of an earth-tremor when he hit the ground outside America but at home he was the very embodiment of the decent upstanding dad of middle-class America (even though the Huxable house was surely only affordable to a multi-millionaire) and he was the black actor who seemed to be embraced by just about everyone before it was profitable to do so.

    OJ Simpson is another of course in a sporting context.
