Turns out licking a donut while saying "I hate America" is enough to earn you the scorn of your fellow Americans. So reports Q Scores, the company that bi-annually polls the U.S. on all things pop culture. In its quest to discover which celebs are falling out of favor the fastest, the Hollywood Reporter recently analyzed Q Scores data from 2013-2015, noting which individuals saw their "negative" Q Scores rise the most during that time.
The results paint a grim picture for Ariana Grande, that pint-size pop star with the huge voice and even bigger distaste for America (no amount of save face can save her). But does Grande deserve to be sandwiched between an unscrupulous snake-oil MD (Dr. Oz) and a serial rapist (Bill Cosby)?
10. NeNe Leakes (1 pt. increase negative Q Score): Noted Real Housewives of Atlanta villain ... but isn't that sorta the point?
9. Paula Deen (3 pt. increase): Noted brown face-avowing, N-word dropping disgraced celeb chef.
8. Miley Cyrus (4 pt. increase): Noted cool-ass pop rebel — what's the beef, moms of America?
7. Judy Reyes (10 pt. increase): Noted star of stereotype-perpetuating Lifetime show Devious Maids.
6. Robert Griffin III (10 pt. increase): Noted oft-injured/ineffective quarterback who can't catch a break. 5. Adrian Peterson (13 pt. increase): Noted child abuser, oblivious camel rider.
4. Robin Thicke (14 pt. increase): Noted Top 40 promoter of rape culture.
3. Mehmet Oz (16 pt. increase): Noted pocket-lining TV doctor quack. 2. Ariana Grande (26 pt. increase): Noted pastry terrorist.
1. Bill Cosby (43 pt. increase): Noted complete and horrible monster, the recipient of rape accusations from nearly 50 women.
The highest overall negative Q Scores belong to Kim Kardashian (71), with Justin Bieber not far behind (63). Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman are tied with the most popular Q Scores (48); Steven Spielberg, Betty White, and Denzel Washington share the No. 2 spot (48).
