Natalia Kills
It’s difficult to maintain composure when judging a live talent show. Judges have to entertain as well as evaluate. On New Zealand’s version of “The X Factor,” Natalia Kills took it a little too far… she bashed Joe Irvine in 2015, calling him a “laughing stock,” and essentially accused him of copying his act and persona from Kills’ own husband, singer Willy Moon. He was also on the panel of judges. Kills and Moon were soon dropped from the show.

Natalie Maines
Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks discovered the hard way that country music and politics are not compatible. She made several snide remarks about then-President George W. Bush, prompting radio stations to question fans if the Dixie Chicks should be banned from their streaming services. Maines, who is from Texas, should have understood that the majority of reporters are southern conservatives.
