Pluribus episode 6 is a wild one. Carol (Rhea Seehorn) is so deeply disturbed by what she discovers the hivemind is eating that she doesn’t trust them to deliver the information to her fellow survivors and decides to share her revelation in person — and winds up learning even more about the Others. “HDP” provides more perspective on the restrictions the hivemind is under when it comes to joining with Carol and the other survivors. This initially makes Carol feel relieved, but I think she’s actually in more danger of being changed than ever before.
The time has come to reveal which celebrities have found themselves on the internet’s bad side. On Ranker, a data-driven media company, people voted for the stars they disliked the most this year, including royals, talk show hosts, reality stars, and disgraced musicians.
From accusations of being rude to waitstaff to releasing products perceived as bizarre or superficial, the reasons these celebrities made the “most hated” list vary widely.
Some, like Sean “Diddy” Combs, were involved in highly publicized legal cases and were jailed for their crimes.
In other cases, the stars were “canceled” over past issues that resurfaced this year, either because they commented on the scandal or because people still haven’t forgiven them.
Here are the 50 celebrities who most irritated or infuriated people in 2025:
James had an incredibly successful late-night show, featuring segments like Carpool Karaoke and Eat Your Guts or Spill Your Guts, which amassed millions of views on YouTube.
But many viewers didn’t believe that his jovial personality truly reflected his character. Over time, reports began to emerge suggesting that his off-screen conduct painted a different picture.
Restaurateur Keith McNally accused the British entertainer of being rude to the waiting staff on two separate occasions and banned him from his brasserie in 2022. He called James the worst customer the restaurant had welcomed in its 25-year history.
James also faced damaging accusations from fellow industry workers. British TV director Craig Duncan, who worked with him on The League of their Own, claimed the star tried to tell him how to direct, yelling, “What the f**k is going on here? It’s obvious what you do… It’s so obvious how you shoot it, it’s stupid.”
Bill was once among the most beloved sitcom stars, earning a reputation as “America’s Dad.”
However, beginning in 2014, dozens of s*xual ass*ult allegations were made against him that ultimately ended his career. Over 60 women have accused the 88-year-old of r*pe and s*xual harassment, with some incidents allegedly dating back to the 1960s.
The actor and comedian has maintained his innocence and denied all allegations.
In 2018, he was jailed for m*lesting a woman and became the first celebrity tried and convicted in the #MeToo era, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality three years later, allowing him to walk free again.
Women accused the star of using his “enormous power, fame, and prestige” to isolate and ass*ult them.
One of them, former model Janice Dickinson, claimed she was r*ped by Bill at a hotel after taking a pill he gave her to help with menstrual pain.
In 2023, a jury in a civil trial found that Bill s*xually ass*ulted a teenager at Hugh Hefner’s mansion in 1975 and awarded her $500,000 in damages.
Kanye has long been on the list of “canceled” celebrities, but this year he took things to a new level when he accused his in-laws of trafficking his and Kim Kardashian’s children.
In March, the disgraced rapper took to X to write, “THE KARDASHIANS ARE S*X WORKERS AND THEY S*X TRAFFIC ALL OF THE BLACK CHILDREN THEY STRATEGICALLY PRODUCE.”
He also compared the Kardashians to the Klan, claiming that he was “getting bullied every day by the real modern day [Klan] of white women controlling my Black kids.”
The Gold Digger singer also expressed his support for Sean “Diddy” Combs and insulted Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children.
Before Kanye’s social media rant, Kim had reportedly interrupted a meeting he had arranged between Andrew Tate, who has been charged with r*pe, and Ye’s 12-year-old daughter, North.
He also liked a post that described his wife, Bianca Censori, as a “subservient extension to her master” and said he had “dominion” over the architect after she stripped down to a completely see-through dress at the Grammys.
The most famous Kardashian sister has made headlines several times this year. In February, she justified the pain she felt after wearing an extremely tight corset at the 2024 Met Gala.
“I’ve never felt this way before, where I feel like I can’t breathe,” she said on her show, before revealing that her lower back had turned purple with visible marks left by the garment.
When a producer asked her off-camera if the pain was worth it, she replied, “Abso-f**ing-lutely. If you look good, it’s all worth it.”
She also sparked controversy by selling underwear featuring faux intimate hair, called “the Ultimate Bush.” According to the website of her brand SKIMS, it comes in “twelve different shade variations” and costs $32 per piece.
More recently, the mom of four admitted to using ChatGPT for legal advice and blamed psychics for their wrong predictions about her passing the California Bar exam.
This year, the disgraced hip-hop mogul stood trial after being arrested on charges of racketeering, s*x trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of pr*stitution.
In July, the jury found Diddy guilty on two counts of transportation for the purposes of pr*stitution involving Cassie Ventura, an ex-girlfriend, and male s*x workers. He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking charges.
Cassie, his girlfriend of over a decade, accused Diddy of forcing her to take illicit substances and later engage in s*xual acts with other men for hours. She said these encounters, called “fr*ak offs” by the 56-year-old producer, made her feel “disgusted” and “humiliated.”
She stated that she was forced to “perform” for Diddy, who would watch and “direct” her. She feared the superstar would release videos of her performing these acts if she refused.
In October, the rapper was sentenced to four years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He will remain incarcerated until May 2028.
Amber didn’t star in any projects this year and continued living a quiet life in her secluded Madrid home. However, people still haven’t forgotten about her high-profile lawsuit against her ex, Johnny Depp.
The pair accused each other of domestic violence, but the jury ruled mostly in Johnny’s favor, awarding him $15 million in compensatory and punitive damages. Amber won one of three counter-claims against her ex and was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
In May, the Aquaman actress announced she had welcomed twins Agnes and Ocean. Her eldest daughter, Oonah Page, was recently enrolled in one of the most prestigious schools in the Spanish capital.
“This is all behind her now, though,” an insider said of the trial. “She has new energy and is focused on things that she loves.”
The former talk show host was slammed after old interviews surfaced on social media this year, prompting many to question her behavior toward her guests, particularly her comments about their bodies.
In one example, a 2004 clip showed Oprah asking twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen about their physiques at a time when Mary-Kate was struggling with an eating-related disorder.
“What size are you, by the way?” Oprah asked the sisters. When they replied that they didn’t know the exact number, the host responded ironically, “Oh, that’s so interesting! I’m obsessed with size, and you’re like, ‘I really don’t know!’”
In a 1986 interview with Cindy Crawford, Oprah asked the then-20-year old to stand up mid-interview. “Did she always have this body?” she asked, adding, “Now this is what I call a BODY.”
In a 2023 documentary, Crawford revealed that the moment made her uncomfortable. “When you look at it through today’s eyes, Oprah’s like, ‘Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you’re worthy of being here.’ That was so not okay really. Especially from Oprah!”
Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, relocated to the English countryside last year after she was “canceled” over accusations of fostering a toxic workplace culture on her talk show.
In July 2025, the 67-year-old said she had moved to the UK because of Donald Trump. “Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here,” she said.
Ellen faced renewed backlash for her response to her show being canceled after 19 seasons. “I’m a direct person, and I’m very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that … I’m mean?” she said.
Since the end of The Ellen Show, many believe the host has failed to show remorse or take accountability for the accusations against her.
People were also surprised to learn she was considering a comeback, not resurrecting the show, but starting a new project. “I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens but I’m a little bit bored,” she said.
#49 2nd Place – Prince Harry, Duke Of Sussex (42.4k Votes)
The Duke of Sussex recently participated in a skit on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that many labeled as “cringe.”
In the segment, Harry told the host that he wanted to play a prince in a Hallmark-style Christmas movie and said Americans were “obsessed with royalty.”
When Stephen pushed back on the idea of an American obsession, Harry joked about Donald Trump, saying, “Really? I hear you elected a king.”
“I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House — all the things you people in TV do,” he quipped about his desire to star in a Christmas film.
Earlier this year, the father of two lost a legal challenge over the level of security he and his family are entitled to while in the UK.
He had been seeking to overturn a decision that had downgraded his security after he stopped being a working royal and moved to the US five years ago, as per the BBC.
While his legal team argued that Harry had been “singled out” for “inferior treatment,” the court ruling upheld that there had been nothing unlawful about the decision.
#50 1st Place – Meghan Markle, Duchess Of Sussex (49.2k Votes)
In the first place, among the most disliked celebrities is Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. This year, she left the privacy of her Montecito home to debut a Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, along with a holiday special, neither of which was well-received.
Though she kept her children with Prince Harry out of the spotlight, Meghan offered a glimpse into her life and interests in a series branded as superficial and egotistical by many viewers.
Several people mocked her tips and tricks for being a great host, with one of the most talked-about moments showing her transferring snacks from their original packaging into a clear plastic bag and tying it with a ribbon to give to a guest.
The Netflix show coincided with the launch of her food brand, As Ever, and the reactivation of her Instagram page.
She was also criticized for continuing to use the Sussex title five years after stepping down as a working royal. In the show, she corrected a guest who called her Meghan Markle, clarifying, “You know I’m Sussex now.”
Additionally, a house manager introduced her as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” when she arrived to be interviewed at a friend’s home in New York, despite only the journalist being in the room.
If the letters “HDP” send chills down your spine now, you’ve come to the right place. In Pluribus episode 6 (titled “HDP”), protagonist Carol (Rhea Seehorn) makes a disturbing discovery, which leads to an even more bizarre revelation.
Polygon spoke with writer-director David Freyne about Eternity’s backstory and setting — who established those rules, and who’s running the afterlife in Eternity? We also had a more spoiler-heavy conversation about how the movie ends, and how to interpret some of its more confusing elements. Freyne reveals how the movie originally ended, and what went into the final choice Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) makes about where to spend the afterlife, and who to spend it with.
Though HBO Max was very proud to announce that it would be the first platform to stream Mad Men in 4K, the show’s new rollout has been an absolute mess.
When HBO Max subscribers fired up the app yesterday hoping to see Don Draper and company in glorious 4K, many were dismayed to see that some of the steamer’s new 4K Mad Men episodesare filled with unusual errors. A number of episodes, including “5G” and “Red in the Face,” are listed on HBO Max with incorrect titles. But the more glaring issue is the way that the infamous vomiting scene from “Red in the Face” now includes a clear shot of a production crewmember who is not supposed to be vis …
Cyber Monday may be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still score some serious deals. Case in point: there are still tons of sales going on at Amazon right now despite the end of the sales event. That includes some of Apple’s biggest products, like the AirTag smart tracker. You can get a single AirTag, in fact, for its Cyber Monday price right now.

Can’t choose between a new smartphone or a new tablet? Well, Samsung has made your decision pretty easy then by saying: Why not both with the new Galaxy Z TriFold?
Samsung finally made its trifold phone official. That’s right, a trifold phone that’s called the TriFold because it has three display panels with two hinges that fold out into a 10-inch display. That’s a tablet-sized screen, the largest ever on a Galaxy phone, wrapped into a foldable smartphone.
While the big Dynamic 2X AMOLED display, with its 2160 x 1584 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, works as one large singular screen, the device can also be configured to work as if it’s three 6.5-inch smartphones. Users can simultaneously run three different portrait-sized apps on each panel side-by-side. With that said, users can drag and drop files across all three screens as the TriFold still performs as a single device.
When folded, Samsung fans will be able to use the TriFold’s outer screen, with its 6.5-inch 2520 x 1080 resolution display just like a non-foldable smartphone.
With a 200 MP camera and powered by the customized Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the Galaxy Z TriFold still manages to be fairly thin when folded out, ranging from 4.2mm to 3.9mm in thickness at its thinnest point. When folded, the TriFold does balloon in size, measuring in at 12.9mm thick.
The Galaxy Z TriFold is also the first smartphone that can run Samsung DeX, which basically enables users to turn their mobile device into a desktop PC-like experience.
Unlike many other unique smartphones that never get released in the United States, Samsung is bringing the Galaxy Z TriFold to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026.
The only real question left about the Galaxy Z TriFold is how much it’ll cost for Americans. Samsung has not yet shared a price for the TriFold when it launches in the U.S. next year. However, the TriFold will be in stores much sooner in South Korea. When it goes on sale there on December 12, 2025, consumers will be paying roughly $2,500 for the foldable device.
It’s unclear if Samsung will keep that same pricing structure for the U.S. market, but with the TriFold hitting U.S. shelves sometime over the next few months, we’ll soon find out.
Cyber Monday has come and gone, but there are still plenty of deals to be had, especially if you’re looking for some discounted electronics. That goes for headphones as well, so if you want something to be able to listen to over the holidays while traveling, need a great gift for someone, or just feel like investing in some new cans, there’s something left for you. We’ve selected one particularly great candidate, and you can get it right now.
These are the upgraded version of the previous Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, with a few significant changes: better battery life, new immersive audio Cinema Mode, adjustable ANC, wired lossless playback, and more. They’re more expensive as well, of course, but this discount makes them much more palatable.
Mashable’s Bethany Allard took these headphones for a spin and praised them for their comfort, calling them “the most comfortable headphones on the market”. She also appreciated their adjustable active noise cancellation, shiny metal accent, and passive playback and USB-C playback options.
“If you’re buying into the line for the first time, the blend of comfort, noise cancellation, and sound is hard to beat, especially if you’re keen on all-day wear,” Allard wrote.
If you’re ready to go ahead and lock in a pair for yourself, now’s a good time to do so while the Cyber Monday sale is still live.
Apple released two new M5-powered devices in October — the M5 iPad Pro and the M5 MacBook Pro — but only the latter got Black Friday treatment that’s worth talking about. The day after Cyber Monday, Amazon still has the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro at its record-low pricing of $1,349 for the 512GB model in silver or space black. That’s a $250 drop from its $1,599 MSRP, and one of our favorite leftover Cyber Monday Apple deals.
A 16% discount doesn’t exactly sound huge on its face in the grand scheme of Black Friday. But a 16% discount on a MacBook that hasn’t even been out for two months? Considering that M5 iPad Pro discounts maxed out at 10% off, we’ll definitely take Amazon’s MacBook offering here.
So why choose the 2025 M5 MacBook over the 2024 M4? For starters, opting for the slower 2024 M4 right now wouldn’t save you any money — the model with 16GB Unified Memory and 512 GB SSD (same specs as the M5 we’re highlighting here) is on sale at Amazon for $1,357.77. By snatching up the M5 while it’s technically a few dollars cheaper, you’re bringing home up to 20 percent faster computing, zippier Cyberpunk-approved graphics handling, and new Neural Accelerators for all sorts of improvements upon AI performance. “At this point, Apple is just showing off,” Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth noted when testing the M5 MacBook Pro.
SAVE $100: As of Dec. 2, you can still save on the Apple iPad Pro, 11-inch (M5, 256GB, WiFi) even post Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Get latest Apple tablet for just $899.99.
Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday have officially come and gone, our attention is turning to the deals that are still making an appearance. Deals are moving fast, and there’s no way to be certain if they’re going to hang around and for how long. Basically, if you see a deal you like, buy it quick. One of the deals we’re eyeing is on the latest iPad Pro, which got the M5 chip treatment. It received one of its first discounts ever during Black Friday and Cyber Monday and it’s somehow sticking around.
As of Dec. 2, find the Apple iPad Pro, 11-inch (M5, 256GB, WiFi) for just $899.99, saving you $99.01 off of its $999 price tag. That’s 10% off, and basically the lowest price ever on the device. Technically the device’s lowest price ever is $899, so you’re just paying $0.99 more.
The Apple iPad Pro with M5 chip is the most advanced tablet yet. The M5 chip takes the iPad to new levels, making it an ideal candidate for professionals looking to edit photos and video, illustrate, or work in graphic design programs. It has a long battery life too boot, and one of the highest Geekbench 6 scores we’ve seen, north of 16,200.
Get the iPad Pro for just $899.99 at Amazon while the deal is still live.
