The heroine became aware of an impending disaster and strenuously attempted to warn the people in charge, only to be brushed aside. This is The Cassandra's lot in life, and she's resigned to it by now. Doom arrives, exactly as she foretold, and while she's scavenging through the ashes for what's left of her belongings, the authorities arrive. Oh, what an unexpected twist; they've realized they made a mistake and they've come to apolo— Wait, they're here to arrest her?! That's right, ladies and gentlemen. When an Obstructive Bureaucrat or a Fascist, but Inefficient government fail to heed Cassandra, they can add insult to injury by blaming the whole disaster on her. Since this catastrophe was entirely unpredictable, there's only one logical explanation: she did it, and we can make everything right if we just get rid of her. As idiotic as this kind of reasoning sounds, it is possible to use it in such a way that's not completely stupid. The Unintelligible may have shown up for the sole purpose of warning us about the catastrophe, but if we can't understand him, well, blaming him for the problem makes as much sense as anything else. Additionally, once Cassandra has been revealed as knowing something, the idea that she's an accomplice is plausible — although, since she's trying to warn you, treating her like a criminal is still pretty dumb. However, with certain subjects, or when the listener is in a certain frame of mind, their warning may be taken as a threat. This is particularly likely if both the disaster itself and Cassandra's ability to predict it are Sufficiently Advanced to seem supernatural (or if they really are supernatural); the instinctive conclusion is that the two incomprehensible things are directly connected. This is the kind of logic that gets wise women and Plague Doctors hounded out of town, wrongly accused of causing what they tried to fix. If the Cassandra really did do it, then it's likely to be a case of Engineered Heroics: predict a disaster —> cause the disaster to happen —> be heralded as a legit psychic —> profit. Alternatively, the Cassandra could be a Reality Warper, and whenever they "predict" the future, they're actually rewriting fate to make what they prophesied come to pass (possibly without even realizing that's what they're doing). It may go without saying, but this is a sad, distressingly common case of Truth in Television, particularly in regards to The War on Straw. A possible outcome of a Cassandra Truth, as well as a potential fate of the Ignored Expert. Related to Shoot the Messenger and Hero with Bad Publicity. Not to be confused with A Wizard Did It. |

According to the eponymous detective of the BBC series Sherlock, certain members of the London Metropolitan Police have assumed that the self-proclaimed sociopath demonstrating extensive knowledge of the crime and attempting to insert himself into the investigation must be the killer. No kidding? | |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Homura keeps trying to warn characters about the future, but they won't believe her warnings. When this future does eventually come true, Kyubey insinuates that the tragedy of it is actually all her fault, because it was her trying to warn everyone about the consequences that made said consequences even worse. Homura effectively turns the situation from "her friend dying" to "her friend becoming evil and so powerful the entire world is destroyed." This applies to timelines 1-4, in which Homura keeps making things worse; timelines 5 and 6 change everything. Subtly subverted because it's implied that the events actually were in a way, The Cassandra's fault, rather than this being a scapegoat situation. | |

A variation occurs in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, when a "psychic" shows up to help the detectives find a girl who's been kidnapped and raped. He tells the team that she's beneath running water; later on, they find her body underneath water pipes. Stabler, being who he is, immediately suspects that the psychic was somehow responsible. He was. | |

In Dragon Age, it's heavily implied that Teyrn Loghain believed that the Wardens were lying about the Blight to gain power and influence over the idealistic King Cailan, allowing them to mass Orlesian Wardens and forces in Ferelden to enact a military coup. Thus, his decision to quit the field at the Battle of Ostagar, sacrifice the King and leave half the army to perish at the hands of the Darkspawn was entirely justified, as it eliminated a major threat to the realm. Unfortunately, he was utterly wrong and his actions plunge Ferelden into a Civil War, leaving the Blight to grow unchecked. Also, leaving Ferelden greatly weakened so that Orlais might be able to sweep in anyway, even if Loghain hadn't had the Blight to deal with. After all, half of the standing military force had just been sacrificed. It's also subtly implied that Loghain did internally know the truth, but was unable to consciously accept it. After all, to admit the threat was to accept the aid of Orlais, for which he's held a not-Irrational Hatred after having fought their invasion which killed his parents; the prospect of a threat big enough to require Orlesian aid on Ferelden soil turned him into The Paranoiac. |

Bleach: When Yamamoto confronts Mayuri about the steps Mayuri's taken to counter the Vandenreich's potentially world-unbalancing activities, he briefly tries to pin the blame for the extent of the problem on Mayuri and his division's competence level. Mayuri retaliates by pointing out the only one to blame is Yamamoto himself for ignoring Mayuri's Cassandra Truth two years beforehand as paranoia when it was Yamamoto's own fault for not killing the cause of the problem years ago. Yamamoto's forced to back down. | |

This set in motion the plot of Psych. Main character Shawn was trained to be hyper-observant by his father, in hopes that he would follow in his footsteps and become a police detective. Unfortunately, Shawn goes through a rebellious streak and instead takes on a plethora of odd jobs while occasionally using his skills to solve crimes based on mere minutes of news footage. The police refuse to believe Shawn could really be that good an amateur sleuth, and decide he was actually right all of those times because he's a criminal in the know. So Shawn claims that he's really psychic, then uses a number of things he's already noticed to correctly deduce information about his interrogators. The chief realizes he's a useful tool, and by the end of the episode, Shawn's set up a fake psychic detective agency called Psych. | |

In volume 5 of Empowered, the Superhomies (especially Major Havoc) blame Emp for the trouble Fleshmaster / dWARf! caused at the Capeys, since she "so obviously" could never win a fight against a supervillain on her own and must have planned it and may even be a closeted villain herself. The telepath Mindfuck reads Emp's mind and sides with Emp, but Havoc doubts Mindfuck's abilities and still thinks Emp had something to do with it and issued a gag order on all public discussions on the matter, leaving Emp unable to defend herself publicly against the already-started rumors. | |

Part of the reason Zorian keeps a low profile in Mother of Learning is because he realises that his in-depth knowledge about the Cult of the Dragon Below and the upcoming invasion of Cyoria would sound to the authorities like he's involved in those things.

In Final Destination, Alex is immediately taken into questioning after the plane exploded just as he said would happen. Though he's never arrested, authorities are never convinced he has nothing to do with the accident or the deaths that happen afterwards. The second and fifth films also have the protagonist questioned by authorities, but nothing to the extent of the first. Near the end of the third movie, Ian blames Wendy for the death of his girlfriend Erin and tries to get revenge on her for it, even though she was the one who tried to warn them about it in the first place and even saved his life in the process. |

In a Jaws parody storyline in Schlock Mercenary, Der Trihs tells the authorities that a shark is behind the killings, but they don't believe him because sharks aren't native to that world. He sarcastically suggests that it must have been a stealth submarine with a shark-jaw mechanism, and they immediately decide that Der Trihs is responsible, and it was his stealth shark-submarine, and arrest him. Even when the Mad Scientist who created the sharks confesses, the police are convinced that he was Der Trihs's co-conspirator. After the whole thing is cleared up, Massey (the Toughs' lawyer) says he's going to sue them for impersonating a police force. | |

Zecora departs into the woods with a cryptic warning about "those leaves of blue" the ponies are standing near, which the other ponies assume is some kind of curse. Sure enough, a weird affliction strikes the ponies the next day, and guess who they blame? Naturally, Zecora has nothing to do with their condition, and it turned out to be the fault of the blue-leaved plants they were walking through earlier, which are actually a magical plant called "poison joke"; when they confront her, she was actually in the middle of making them a cure. | |

In Doctor Who, more than once, the Doctor has been blamed for bringing about whatever catastrophe of the week he's there to save everyone from, despite them having ignored his warnings about it. In-Universe, he's gained something of a reputation as a herald of doom, given that he nearly always shows up on the heels of disaster and a ridiculously high body count is likely to follow. Never mind that if he weren't there, many planets and indeed the whole of reality would have been obliterated several times over. To some extent, this is his fault, as he rarely accepts credit or reward for his actions and prefers to remain anonymous to the universe at large, guaranteeing that he will be Shrouded in Myth. | |

Monster: Inspector Lunge outright refuses to believe Dr. Tenma's story that a ten year old boy could have possibly committed multiple homicides, believing instead that Tenma is the real killer. He goes through various revisions to his theory starting with the Johan story being a poor attempt on Tenma's part to feign innocence, up to "Johan" being the good doctor's murderous Split Personality. He figures out the truth eventually, but by then there's already a massive body count. | |

In The Book of Mormon, Nephi is arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder when he prophetically announces the bloody death of the chief judge, despite being on the other side of the city and no one having discovered the fact yet. They suspect that Nephi has set the whole thing up so the people will believe him to be a prophet. He clears his name and proves his true prophetic nature by revealing the name of the murderer, who confesses to his crime and denies that Nephi had anything to do with it. | |

Encanto Bruno Madrigal is a superstitious man with the Gift of Future Vision. To his displeasure, a majority of his visions foretold bad things, leading to the entire town blaming him for all the misfortune that would come to be. When he read his latest vision of how Mirabel would play a part in the destruction of the Madrigal magic, or its stability, Bruno was aware of how horribly the family and town would react to this. Believing that everyone would hate him and ostracize his niece, he decided to self-exile into the walls of Casita without sharing his last vision. Mirabel herself plays a similar role; when she first claims that she has seen cracks forming in the casita, she's dismissed, but once they start appearing unmistakably where others can see them, Abuela shifts to blaming her for somehow causing them, because, "The cracks started with you." |

A lot of the conflict of The Frighteners arises when people who think Frank is a complete fraud (rather than just running a Monster Protection Racket) interpret his warnings as threats. | |

In Charmed (1998), Phoebe is a juror in a case where the plaintiff, a magician, is accused of killing his ex-wife; one of the main pieces of evidence is that he told the police where her body was, which he claims to have seen in a vision. While you can forgive the Muggle characters for not buying this, it somehow never occurs to Phoebe, who has magical visions about Once per Episode, that he could possibly be telling the truth...until she gets a vision of the murder and sees that it was somebody else. | |
