Stars like Roseanne Barr, Candace Cameron Bure, Liam Neeson and more have faced backlash over comments deemed controversial or inappropriate by the public. However, in different ways, they are still working.
“Over the last year, there have been two key factors driving a cultural push-back by the once helpless and hapless masses; for the accused, we’ve seen resolve overtake attrition; for the proverbial ‘jury of your peers’ who were forced to bear witness to the cancelations, apathy has overtaken outrage. Instead of raising their hands and getting on their knees, the accused are now standing up, balling their fists, and fighting back,” Eldridge said.
He continued, “At the same time, the once captive, passive audience no longer has interest or outrage in seeing an imprecise ‘pound of flesh’ being exacted over and over.”
Here are some of the stars who have overcome their status as “canceled” and revived their careers.
