In the world of Hollywood, rumors circulate, and nothing goes unchecked as celebrities are surrounded by people 24/7. There are bound to be some people who will spill the beans until the stories spread and get featured on tabloids.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are two of the most famous Hollywood stars from the start of their career in the 90s up till today, and everyone knows their names.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger had been rumored for years that he had an affair with his maid, Mildred Baena. Sources at that time said that the two were spotted being all touchy-feely when they were alone.

Schwarzenegger denied the claims at first, stating that it was just a rumor created by tabloids to have a story. However, the actor later confirmed that the rumors were true all along.

In May 2011, Schwarzenegger and his then-wife Maria announced their separation by releasing a joint statement.

In the same month, just weeks after he announced his divorce, the actor also admitted that he has an illegitimate child, as reported by EOnline!.

Ellen DeGeneres

Before the famous talk show host and comedian came out as a lesbian, Time Magazine already speculated about Ellen DeGeneres' sexual orientation.

But it was during an episode of Ellen's groundbreaking sitcom "Ellen," where she laid it all out and admitted that she's gay.

In 1997, the episode of her sitcom titled "The Puppy Episode" raked in 44 million viewers and is known as one of the moments in history that helped the LGBT community move forward towards acceptance.

After Ellen came out, she was not greeted with open arms. The comedian was fired from her work, cut off from gigs, and was out of the industry for a while before she was given a chance to host her own show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in 2003.

Bill Cosby

The comedian and actor Bill Cosby was the star of the hit sitcom "The Cosby Show," which ran from 1984 to 1992. Because of his character, he was dubbed "America's dad," but the respect that the public and the industry have for him did not last long.

Over 60 women have come forward about being sexually assaulted by Cosby, including his former co-stars. Some victims claimed that they were drugged before they were assaulted by the actor.

In 2018, all the tabloid rumors about his behavior turned out to be true when the actor himself admitted to the claims. He was later found guilty by a jury and had since been serving a 10-year prison sentence.
