9 times celebrities seriously lost their cool

It's perfectly human to have a temperamental outburst now and then. But when you're a celebrity you need to be more careful of what you say and how you say it, because the whole world is watching you.

These celebs had the misfortune of losing their cool on public platforms and for some it was in the 'privacy' of their own phone-calls.

Kelly Khumalo




In 2013 Kelly left twitter going ‘huh?’ when she had a religion inspired outburst.  This happened after her arrest for assaulting a local soccer player’s wife.

The rant was rather strange since no one knew what she was actually on about when she said that God will protect her from evil, and then began tweeting in tongues.



She has since deleted the tweets.

Tracy Morgan



The 30 Rock actor is known for his funny antics, but he took it a bit too far during one of his stand up comedy shows.

Huffington Postreports that after the said show, one of the attendees described on Facebook how Tracy had gone on a homophobic rant calling gay men sissies and saying should his son ever tell him he’s gay, he’d stab him.

Trevor Gumbi



Trevor is known for his sometimes funny jokes but nothing was funny about the twitter rant he allegedly directed at his wife Lucille which was quite scary and extremely derogatory.


But it’s all okay since Trevor says he was drunk and high at the time, and there was/is no truth to those tweets. Like Kelly Khumalo, Trevor has since deleted these tweets.

Mel Gibson



The Aussie actor certainly has a temper. He’s basically been mean about everyone. Jews, ex-girlfriends, Christians, black men - you name it, they’ve all seen the wrath of Mel Gibson.

The most memorable has to be the phone call he made to his ex-girlfriend in which he called her a whore and threatened to kill her.



Naomi Campbell


Supermodels don’t get mad, they get super mad. In 2008, the supermodel plead guilty to spitting and kicking police officers when an airport in Heathrow lost her luggage.

The Daily Mail reports that in the same incident Naomi claimed that her outburst was triggered by racist slurs from the British Airways crew members.

Chris Brown



ABCnews reports that Chris Brown smashed a studio window after an uncomfortable interview on Good Morning America.

Apparently Chris wasn’t happy with the questions about his domestic abuse charges involving Rihanna. The smashing of the windows was accompanied by loud screams and Chris storming out the building.



Kanye West 



From Taylor Swift to Jimmy Kemmel, if Kanye has an issue with you best believe he’s going to say something about it. Most of us know about the VMA stint against poor Taylor.

He wasn’t even afraid to tell Barack Obama  to stop talking about himself and Kim.

Courtney Love



When is this woman not ranting? Kurt Cobain’s baby mama loves to let the world know how she feels about EVERYTHING. She’s accused Foo Fighters’ front man Dave Grohl of trying to seduce her daughter, Frances Bean.

She also said The Muppets ‘raped’ Kurt Cobain’s memory after covering Smells Like Teen Spirit. And... well, you get the picture.

Charlie Sheen



Good ol’ Charlie Sheen isn’t going to be winning any humanitarian of the year awards any time soon, but his rant at ex-wife Denise Richards was just plain gross.

He left a voicemail for her saying things like “I hope I never fucking talk to you again, you fucking cunt.” Nice Charlie.
