Controversial figures such as Aquaman star Amber Heard, famous YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul and more names that many readers will be familiar with made the list this year.
According to the public poll, over 15,000 voters took part in the survey and combined contributed a whopping total of almost 200,000 votes on dozens of well-known celebs.
See below who ended up ranking in the top 12.

Jake Paul, brother to Logan Paul, is best known for rising to fame across social media platforms such as Vine and YouTube – as well as also playing Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel show Bizaardvark.

Paul’s controversial behaviour throughout the years, such as getting axed from his Disney series and being criminally charged for criminal trespass and unlawful assembly, seems to be what has done the trick.
11 James Corden

James Corden seemed to become more unliked as the years went by, however, it’s never been too clear as to what he did specifically to start making his viewers change the channel.

Although the comedian wore a smile 99% of the time on screen, due to various reports and rumours, the Gavin and Stacey star began to lose the trust and interest of many – slowly decreasing his fanbase.
10 James Charles

Popular YouTuber James Charles made number 10 on the public list, best known as a makeup artist, the online social media personality star quickly rose to fame on YouTube amassing millions of subscribers in an impressive short amount of time.
However, due to rumours and controversial reports – one involving a YouTube drama with another beauty creator Tati Westbrook that became one of the most talked about events on the platform that year – the star quickly began to lose a portion of his popularity.
However, regardless of Charles’ status on this publicly ranked list, the YouTuber still manages to pull in a fairly large amount of views on each video upload – maybe just not quite as much as before.
9 Chrissy Teigen

Next on the list was Chrissy Teigen at number 9, best known for being an American model and TV personality who made her debut in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2010.

Similar to some of the aforementioned, Teigen’s loss of positive popularity has come from both rumours and reports being shared across the web – one of which being allegations that she had been cyberbullying people in social posts that were discovered later in her career, made earlier in life.
8 Chris Brown

One of the more controversial names on this list, singer Chris Brown came in at a seemingly divisive number 8 on the top most hated celebs of 2023.
The “Kiss Kiss” singer’s controversial loss of fame came from his relationship with the popular singer Rihanna after Brown was arrested after physically hurting his now ex-girlfriend back in 2009, the night before the Grammy Awards.
7 Hilaria Thomas Baldwin

Hilaria Thomas Baldwin, author and wife to actor Alec Baldwin, made it to the number 7 spot on this list.
According to voters, one main reason why Hilaria made the list is due to her being accused of cultural appropriation or “identity hoaxing” after at times representing herself as being from Spain.

It’s said that she uses a fake or false Spanish accent, at times, which has both confused and angered enough people to vote her to nearly the top 5 on a list such as this.
6 Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby, strangely not at number 1, made it to the 6th spot on the publicly voted-on list.
Cosby was originally known for being a stand-up comic, but due to various accusations – some of which the comic was found guilty of – Cosby was charged and convicted of unforgivable crimes.
5 Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex
![](https://i0.wp.com/regalrumination.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/h.webp?resize=1024%2C549)
Not only did South Park dedicate a whole episode to Prince Harry, but now thousands of public voters have too – for various reasons that span from the United Kingdom to the United States.
Prince Harry’s popularity has slowly declined these recent years, maybe more so because the royal celeb has become a lot more outspoken against his family and his feelings toward the press.
4 Oprah Winfrey
![](https://i0.wp.com/regalrumination.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Top-12-Most-Hated-Celebrities-of-2023-According-to-Public-Voters-Image-9-1024x549-1.webp?resize=1024%2C549)
Once one of the most beloved stars of television, Oprah Winfrey for reasons unknown has now become one of the less-loved celebrities in the modern world of entertainment.
It’s said that one primary reason is simply due to the star becoming so rich, something that is frowned upon – especially over in America, according to public forums.
3 Ellen DeGeneres
![](https://i0.wp.com/regalrumination.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Top-12-Most-Hated-Celebrities-of-2023-According-to-Public-Voters-Image-10-1024x549-1.webp?resize=1024%2C549)
Next on this list is another famous talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, best known for her titular talk show that was so successful – it even managed to last into the YouTube era, amassing a popular social media brand following as well.
However, in later years, reports that the talk show host had created a toxic environment behind the scenes slowly began to spread from internal staff to external outlets and magazines.
Once the news hit the fan, Ellen’s popularity began to sink.
2 Meghan, Duchess of Sussex

Similar to Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle has also suffered an immense decline in popularity in both the United Kingdom and the United States – most likely for similar reasons to Prince Harry.
One main reason why both Meghan and Prince Harry have suffered their popularity loss is due to not sticking to traditional royal ways – something that is frowned upon by millions.
1 Amber Heard

First on the list of most hated celebs to come out of 2023 is Aquaman and Rum Diary star Amber Heard, known for her acting career but better known for her infamous marriage to Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Beasts star Johnny Depp.
After various reports that came out of Heard and Depp’s divorce, various court dramas – one of which was a televised court event that became the most watched that year – have all led to the star suffering such a decline in popularity that some believe her career to be over… for now.
