5. Alison Pill
Alison Pill started her career as a child actress, but transitioned well into more adult roles. She excelled in both television and film roles, and is probably best known for her portrayal as Margaret “Maggie” Jordan in The Newsroom. In 2012, Pill made a serious technical mistake on Twitter when she allegedly “accidentally” tweeted a topless photo of herself to all of her followers.
The tweet was supposedly intended as a private message for her then-fiancé, Jay Baruchel, but it was sent publicly instead. Pill blamed the incident on her lack of understanding, since she wasn’t as computer savvy as she had hoped. After deleting the photo, Pill tweeted, “Yep. That picture happened.
Ugh, My tech issues have now reached new heights, apparently.” Although the photo was deleted, a screen shot was taken that allowed it to be circulated throughout the Internet. It is still up for debate as to whether or not that was a true mistake or Pill leaked the photo on purpose to help gain exposure. However, it didn’t do much to help her career, since she hasn’t done much of note in recent years following the Twitter debacle.
