This came up in conversation yesterday and maybe needs updating. I am old so my "falls" are probably older than most. Who's your Top 3?

1. Bill Cosby - Hard to describe how this guy was the All American beloved Dad and fell all the way to felony sexual assault.

2. OJ Simpson - Another well liked author who slit his wife's throat and got away with it.

3. Lance Armstrong - From world's greatest athlete to total jerk wad *******. Lied, caught, denied - rinse and repeat.

OJ seemed like a great guy…….Cosby always had a creep factor to his character. Armstrong cheated on his fiance' long before big fame.

Thus……I'm going with Benedict Arnold. Huge war hero to the definition of despised. Superman to Lex Luther in one week.

ETA: I'm probably a little older than you…..Benedict Arnold was devastating.

which fiancee did he cheat on?

He did doping, which is cheating, but a quick search doesn't show cheating on a romantic partner.

Micky Mouse, he had that widely successful Steam Boat Willy flick and then formed his 'club' full of future pop stars that left him and since then he has just been riding on the coattails of a bunch of Princesses.

Just a figure head now. Sad. Don't know what he did but I am sure it has to do with him and his friends not wearing pants and running around the amusement park like he owns the damn place.

Art Briles & Shawn Oakman collectively.

When Oakman's predatory behavior came to light Briles was discovered to be aware of concerning behavior that he turned a blind eye to. Oakman would have been a first round pick most likely, Briles was doing well at Baylor and theoretically would have continued to do so and possibly get a bigger job.

Except when he turned into a giant fire breathing monster when the Jonas Brothers left.

Cheated on his wife with Sheryl Crow among others.

A longtime and award-winning Penn State professor allegedly performed sexual acts with his dog in sickening displays that were captured on a state forest trail camera.

Themis Matsoukas, 64, was charged Tuesday after he was allegedly caught earlier this year naked from the waist down except for socks and shoes committing the perverted sex acts with his collie near bathrooms at Rothrock State Forest in Pennsylvania.

Is this like people saying he left his wife after she supported him through his cancer treatments?

No, it's saying he cheated on his wife with Sheryl Crow and others. Was well known in many circles in Austin at the time.

Good one, but he didn't actually do the bad stuff himself. He's more of an Art Briles fall - turned a blind eye.

"How you are fallen from heaven,

O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart:
'I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.'
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.
- Isaiah 14:12-15

Without illegal stuff and drama from substances, I'd have to say (ex) Prince Harry.

Dude was pretty awesome from what I could tell in the early aughts. Then he got married. And "done a 180" could not describe what happened next, enough.
