Ingrid Berman was unhappily married to a doctor, Peter Lindstrom, with whom she had one child, Pia. In the late 1940s she had an affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini. When news of the affair broke she lost all her contracts, her husband took her daughter, and the scandal was so intense US senators gave speeches condemning her on the Senate floor.
Because of the fallout she wasn’t allowed to see her daughter Pia for seven years, and didn’t make a Hollywood movie for seven years as well (She returned in Anastasia). —HarrietsDiary

Kind of a unique case but: Laura Dern.
When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.
She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.
Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role. —antmars

She isn’t full on canceled but what Kesha went through was so messed up. Not only was she abused but her abuser was part of the record label and she wasn’t able to leave her contract. —Radthereptile

Megan Fox deserved better than the way media constantly sexualised her and ignored anything she had to say. She has numerous interviews trying to talk about being uncomfortably sexualised by Michael Bay when she was a teenager but the audience and interviewer would just cheer as if she wasn’t talking about predatory behaviour. Megan Fox is so smart and eloquent NOT the bimbo Hollywood would have you believe. —ToxicFluffer

Not too sure cancelled is the right word for them but Lindsay Lohan. Phenomenal actress and started at a young age. Had really messed up parents, no guidance from anyone and too much money. —ian-quinn
