From Jared to Tiger: 13 Shamed Celebrity Spokespeople

For shame, these celebrity spokespeople! Don't you know you were representing a brand (or many brands) when you slept with porn stars, allegedly got off to child porn… or did any number of other reprehensible things? In light of Jared Fogle getting into serious trouble with the law, we're here to run down 13 of the most shamed celebrity spokespeople in business history. 1. Jared Fogle Jared Fogle served as Subway spokesman for over 15 years. But it all came crashing down on the sandwich guru after federal agents raided his home and found evidence of child pornography. 2. Tiger Woods Tiger Woods didn’t just lose a gorgeous wife by sleeping all around. He lost most of his endorsement deals. 3. Bill Cosby Bill Cosby has not endorsed JELLO for a long time. But he’s included here because so many people still associate him with that snack item. 4. O.J. Simpson O.J. Simpson represented Hertz for over a decade. The company pulled the deal after domestic abuse allegations cropped up in 1992. Two years later, The Juice was arrested for murder. 5. Sharon Stone Sharon Stone was dropped by Christian Dior in 2008 after she made insensitive comments about an earthquake that took the lives of 68,000 people. 6. Madonna Madonna was paid $5 million for Pepsi to use the song “Like a Prayer” in an ad.
