8 Insane Outbursts That Got Celebrities In Serious Trouble

7. Michael Richards Drops The N-Word

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoLPLsQbdt0 Some outbursts are less damaging than others. In fact in most cases where a celebrity hasn't actually broken any laws, a long period of apologising will mean that they can return to their day jobs with integrity more or less intact. Not so for the guy who once played Kramer on Seinfeld. While performing at the Laugh Factory in New York in 2006, Michael Richards was heckled by a member of the audience. In what amounted to no less than the end of Richards' stand-up comedy career, he responded with an angry string of racial slurs, dropping the N-bomb six times in just a couple of minutes. Unfortunately for the comic, someone was recording his tirade on a camera phone and shortly uploaded it for all the web to see. Richards couldn't apologise more, but it wasn't enough to save his career. Humbled and humiliated in equal measure, he threw in the towel and hasn't been up to a great deal since.
