13. The Cosby Saga
The drugging and dirty allegations came pouring in during 2014, but on December 30, Bill Cosbywas finally arrested in Pennsylvania on charges of sexual assault. The once revered comedian, known as American dad Cliff Huxtable, has denied the charges from the beginning. But as more and more women came forward, Bill’s reputation sank further and further. His honorary degrees and awards were taken back, and his legendary 80s sitcom reruns disappeared from television. With a surely long and arduous trial to come, Cosby’s legacy will be dragged even further down, as the victims can finally rejoice in letting their story be heard.
