Who would get the “gold” if anti-heroes were awarded medals? What can be safely called the scandal of the year? And who had a record failure? And which of the foreign stars suddenly felt the full power of the anger of Russian women? Remember with Anews.
They say who remembers the old, that eye is out. But how can one summarize the year without remembering, among other things, the scandals, disappointments and failed acts of stellar faces that infuriated, caused ridicule and became the heroes of memes.
Lady Gaga
The American singer and actress never won an Oscar for best role in the romantic musical The Star Is Born. In vain! Because in Russia they believed that she had fallen in love with Bradley Cooper's on-screen partner and brazenly “stole” him from our model Irina Shayk.
Gag’s “Razvitnitsa” was harassed in social networks, showing “Russian woman’s solidarity”.

Shake and Cooper, who have a two-year-old daughter, broke up in June. But a year before, fans sensed the strongest “chemistry” between Cooper and Gaga. On the red carpet, they acted almost like a couple on their honeymoon. And after a passionate duet at the piano at the Oscars, even skeptics suspected that this was not just a “movie”.
However, both still swear that all this carrot love was just a professional game.
Greta Tunberg
Remember what you achieved in 16 years? Here, a Swedish eco-activist with a whole bunch of mental disabilities got into the hundred most influential people on the planet, angrily smashed politicians from the UN rostrum, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and became the person of the year according to Time. Moreover, the magazine called it “the leader of the new generation” and “role model”.
But at the same time the “great Greta” disappointed many. Her hysterical allegations that tricksters-politicians “stole her dreams and childhood” were ridiculed in memes. She is portrayed as a "capricious rich girl" who comfortably travels the world and is infinitely far from children living in real need and work.

Moreover, its activities are not so "environmentally friendly." For example, at the UN summit, Greta sailed on a solar-powered yacht, because she does not fly on dirty aircraft. But for the sake of this indicative swim, crew members were forced to make 4 flights across the Atlantic. Whereas the activist herself would have had enough 2 round trips.
In general, her "harmless" trips come out much more expensive. In December, she traveled home by train through Germany, traveling part of the way in first class.
By the way, the German railway workers were offended that the schoolgirl took it for granted and even forced the operator company to apologize to her for the train being crowded. Having been silent about the place given to her in the first class, Greta showed in social networks only her “miserable” photo on the floor in the corridor of the car.
Mikhail Boyarsky
The unique D'Artagnan of our movie, a man in a signature mustache and hat, usually inspires funny jokes and memes. But in 2019, he got into “villains” because of boorish behavior on the road and male chauvinism.
In October, Boyarsky was terribly outraged by the fact that he parked his black Mercedes at the oncoming lane of Nevsky Prospect, moreover almost on a zebra. And then he rudely sent Petersburg journalists who wanted to get an explanation from him: “What are you interrogating me with? Yes, I ** us on you. "
Relatives and PR people fiercely stood up for the artist, justifying them with the fact that he became ill and urgently needed at the pharmacy. And the critics were accused of bullying and hype. But the Petersburgers recalled that his Mercedes was not the first to be noticed in violations.
In late December, Boyarsky again famously parked in a prohibited place in the center of St. Petersburg. However, this time the media did not find fault with the hero of the day, who celebrated the 26th birthday on the 70th.

And Boyarsky aroused anger with contemptuous words about women. “I do not think that women are capable of any serious manifestations, like men. Be it vocals, painting. I'm sexist. I do not popularize my attitude to this, but I believe that a woman is not capable of global actions - neither in science nor in literature, ”he reasoned in May in the YouTube show“ And Talk? ”.
He said that the main purpose of a woman is to give birth, and only this makes her "full". Even his daughter Elizabeth Boyarskaya did not spare, saying that she was not proud of any of her acting work. “Sooner or later, she will realize that all she did was romantic youth.”
And about his wife, actress Larisa Luppian, he completely snapped: “If I die, she will die right away! Not a second will live! If, on the contrary, God forbid, nothing would have changed, well, I would have missed it. ”
Alsou Family
The scandal of the year, of course, was the April finale of the show “Voice. Children ”, in which the daughter of the singer Alsu Mikella Abramova won by a huge margin, which was absolutely unexpected for the viewers and the mentors of the project. There was such a wave of indignation that Channel One canceled the voting results and arranged a check that revealed a powerful cheat.
However, even before the controversial victory, Alsou and her daughter were sharply criticized.
Svetlana Loboda, whom Mikella chose as a mentor, threw the young ward at the knockout stage, but she had a chance to return to the next, additional stage. On it, a 10-year-old girl performed the adult song of Yulia Nachalova, “The hero of not my novel”. According to the viewers, it was "PR on the bones" and a "sneaky reception" in order to get to the finals, because "Nachalova’s songs win simply against the backdrop of her untimely death."

After the finale, Mikella and Alsou were baited on social networks, deciding that the victory was bought by a wealthy family of oil workers and bankers, and “simple”, although more talented children were deprived of chances. Moreover, even after the cancellation of the results, the family again incurred discontent.
The first channel decided to award the victory and present one million rubles to all finalists, including Abramova. The girl did not appear at the shooting and donated her prize to charity. Alsou praised her for this “adult independent decision”, but the audience only snorted: “Don’t give someone else’s money to charity,” “Give the stolen money to children? Wow charity. "
