When a young actor or other performer comes to public prominence in association with clean, wholesome family entertainment roles, the expectation of studios and audiences is that the actor's personal life will reflect the same upright morality of the character they play.
Heaven forbid, then, that said actor should be found engaging in perfectly legal, perfectly normal adult activities like drinking alcohol and/or having sex. And should they take a role in a production where they'll do things like nude scenes, using foul language or engaging in criminal behavior, then Moral Guardians will arise against the actor for betraying their expectations or somehow corrupting their young audience.
As most of the examples on this list will show you, this trope usually (although not exclusively) applies more to female celebrities than males. Actors are most often hit by this, but it can also apply to pop stars whose fanbase is largely comprised of teen and tween girls.
Some actors deliberately seek out such roles precisely to shed their image, and seemingly the majority of male ones lately go through a phase of sporting stubble for photoshoots and red-carpet events to remind us they're not boys anymore (even if they are still playing high school students).
There are two sides to what happens with this controversy. First is that Moral Guardians really have no right to get upset that it is "corrupting our youth" because an individual of a certain age is well within their legal rights to smoke, drink, swear, have sex, etc. On the flip side, being a public figure, especially one who is popular and well-known amongst young people, carries a certain degree of responsibility for the influence one may have since they will be treated as a role model. George "Superman" Reeves, for example, took great pains to not smoke or be seen with his lady friends in front of children. (He was also careful because kids wanted to see if he was as invulnerable as he was on TV.)
This will very often actually be enforced by a morality clause in the contract.
A form of Typecasting. See also Old Shame, Not Allowed to Grow Up, and Porn Creator Going Mainstream. May result in the actor/singer hating the job, but still enjoying the publicity that comes with it. Contrast So My Kids Can Watch, which is when an "adult" actor takes on family-friendly roles, usually so that their children can watch them without being exposed to violence and/or sex. For a specific supernatural version of this trope, see Virgin Power. Subtrope of Slave to PR.
Exactly what counts as "purity" varies wildly from culture to culture — see Values Dissonance. For the polar opposite of this trope see Controversy-Proof Image.

In their 2012 shoot interview the Bella Twins talked about how scared they were of breaking PG when they first debuted (they were called up right as the PG switch happened). As Nikki put it, "we were like the G-girls" and said they didn't want to alienate their kid fanbase. Nikki accidentally broke PG when she did some sexy gestures coming out with Miz and Morrison (forgetting their entrance was in slow motion) - and was reprimanded by Stephanie. The twins eventually avoided this and became Hotter and Sexier after their Face–Heel Turn. Nikki Bella also got breast implants, though it was after they had left WWE. Brie Bella did have to apologise in 2013 after suffering a Wardrobe Malfunction on Raw.

Lita similarly may have had this trope in mind. She said one of the reasons she refused to pose for Playboy was because she had so many young girls as fans. Indeed many of the next generation WWE Divas cite Lita as their idol when they were younger and she reportedly would receive so many presents from fans at events that she wouldn't be able to take all them with her — so she may have had a point. Of course, she still had no problem with going out on TV with her thong showing and removing her top during matches so it's likely she wasn't that concerned with purity per se. When she turned heel on TV and became Hotter and Sexier (including a live sex celebration on Raw) the majority of fans hated her guts in real life so it wouldn't have mattered what she did. The live sex celebration, however, was something she was forced into and didn't want to do.

Sleepless Domain: The magical girls that protect the city are treated like celebrities or idols by the non-magic population, leading to some pressure along these lines. As a result, the official bodies governing them keep it secret that pregnant magical girls lose their magic upon giving birth to daughters, who in turn inherit unsually strong magical potential. Heartful Punch, a child from such circumstances, believes it's covered up because a pregnant teenager would not only tarnish the reputation of the warriors but humanize them and show they have lives outside of fighting (and dying) for others.

This happened twice with actors on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood:
This was a reason that Rogers didn't let Betty Aberlin star in Night of the Living Dead, a film by his protégé George A. Romero, who had actually directed a segment for the show. Note that his personal protectiveness did not extend to the film itself; when Romero screened it to his mentor, the sweet, harmless Pennsylvania minister was delighted with his protégé's gory, nihilistic horror film and told Romero it was great fun.
Rogers also discouraged François Clemmons from going out to gay bars or being open about his sexuality, although he was personally very affirming of gay people. Clemmons (who's now publicly out) has said in interviews that he doesn't bear any ill will for this or think it diminishes Mr. Rogers' message of acceptance at all; societal attitudes toward homosexuality were very different in The '60s, and being openly gay could have been a serious risk to Clemmons' career or even personal safety. Moreover, it unquestionably would've made the show a target during its more fragile early years (when Fred had to fight for PBS funding to start with!) and might well have put Fred in a position of being forced by pressure to fire Clemmons.

WWE Diva Ashley Massaro caused a bit of a scandal in mid-2008 when she was linked with a high-quality escort service. Although she was released that year, she still appeared on TV twice after the story broke - and claimed that she had asked for her release to care for her sick daughter. Also, the One-Steve Limit may have come into play - as reports surfaced that it could have been a second Ashley Massaro, a Las Vegas-based bikini model.

Parodied in one episode of Chappelle's Show. One episode has a sketch in which comedian Paul Mooney plays "Negrodamus", a black prophet, who is asked why "White people love Wayne Brady so much." Negrodamus replies it is because "he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X". A later episode has a sketch where Dave reminisces about spending time with Wayne, in which Wayne reveals himself to be so vile that Dave is afraid to hang out with him again. He's a pimp, murderer, and in one instance, actually says a line that he felt uncomfortable saying for comedy, "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?"

Seth Rollins was caught in a scandal in early 2015 in which nude photos of both himself and NXT developmental Diva Zahra Schreiber, who was having an affair with Rollins at the time, were leaked online by Rollins' then fiancée, Leighla Schultz. Neither Rollins nor Schreiber were punished for the incident (Rollins even became WWE World Heavyweight Champion shortly after) because it was ultimately a personal matter and they weren't responsible for the photos leaking, though Schreiber was fired a few months later after fans discovered Nazi related images on her Instagram account. She had previously gotten backstage heat for tweeting about texting while driving.

One story in Black Jack centers around a fifteen-year-old idol who is going through an ectopic pregnancy. Because she was marketed on the appeal of being a wholesome girl, her manager is desperate that this all be kept under wraps. The story gets out anyway, and Black Jack is disgusted that the manager is more upset that the idol has lost her appeal, rather than being glad that she survived.

Lisa Bonet was tossed off The Cosby Show for her role in Angel Heart that included a sex scene, and loudly denounced by Bill Cosby. Years later, after Cosby himself was accused and sued by dozens of women for past sexual assaults and rapes, this moral grandstanding became the height of hypocrisy in hindsight.

BoJack Horseman gives us Sarah Lynn, former child star of the titular character's old sitcom who, after getting some very bad advice from BoJack, spent the next twenty years from an adorable, catchphrase-spewing child to a sexed-up pop diva (and later tabloid-foddering train wreck) in an attempt to prove that she was an adult.

When Clarissa Explains It All finished its run, Melissa was now an adult but her mother didn't want her to pursue Darker and Edgier roles - though this was apparently a business move to capitalize on her kid fan base. Thus her next project was the family sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She has said that once that was over, she found it hard to get cast because people only saw her as a teenager, even though she was in her late 20s when the show finishednote Even within the context of the show, Sabrina became a college student in the fifth season and the producers wanted to just call the show Sabrina, but faced resistance from Archie Comics. Thus people were startled at her playing a mother in Melissa & Joey.

This is a talking point in Showbiz Kids, a documentary about childhood stardom. Evan Rachel Wood and Milla Jovovich talk about how difficult it is to explore your sexuality as a child star because of the public image you have to maintain. Cameron Boyce, who rose to fame under Disney's watchful eye, even hesitates to cuss at first.

Actress Melanie Martinez (No, not the singer) had a stint as the host of The Good Night Show, a block on the preschool network Sprout. However, in 2006, she was fired after the network found out that she starred in two VERY inappropriate short films in 2000 spoofing Scare 'Em Straight public service announcements, contrasting the wholesome, family-friendly image she developed. She was briefly replaced by Leo (Noel "Bear" MacNeal), and then Nina (Michele Lepe) for the rest of the block's history.

Taylor Momsen began her career as a child actor, famously as Cindy Lou in How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and she nearly played Hannah Montana too. Although she got a role on the CW series Gossip Girl, her character was the Token Wholesome. But she soon started going for a much racier public image, which ended up being reflected in Gossip Girl's third season. When she formed her band The Pretty Reckless she caused a minor scandal by appearing nude in their video for "Make Me Wanna Die" - when she was only sixteen. She has since quit acting altogether and focused on her music, stating she "doesn't fucking care" about being a good role model.

In late 2010 WWE signed 7 ft wrestler Isis The Amazon and advertised her for NXT Season 3. When it was found that she had erotic fetish photos online, she was removed from the competition and later released.note Though her release was more likely due to her bitching about this openly to any interviewer who asked. Ironically her replacement Kaitlyn also had erotic photos online and never faced any backlash from it.

Parodied in The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You. Rentarou's girlfriends (all 13 of them at the time) put on an amateur idol performance at their school. They get scouted by a big-name producer, and even the narration says that the "Idol Road Arc" is about to begin... until the producer says that this trope will be in effect. Since the girls are already all in a happy, if unorthodox, relationship, the very next page has them all walk out the door with the narration declaring the end of the Idol Road Arc.

In Snapshots, hosts of Inkopolis News are not allowed to enter romantic relationships because of the potential for messy drama. When Marie tells Pearl and Marina this right before the contract is signed, Marina is indifferent (mainly because she's half-convinced she's in a Lotus-Eater Machine that wouldn't allow that much happiness anyway) but Pearl is absolutely crushed that taking this opportunity means holding off confessing her feelings to her best friend.

Also before Doctor Who, Piper was also criticized in the press for being photographed partying around the time of her marriage to radio presenter Chris Evans. At the time, she was known not for Rose Tyler, but being a former teen pop star once touted as the British answer to Britney Spears. In fairness, though, this was primarily due to the fact that she was a teenager and Chris Evans was in his mid-thirties, and when they got married, they'd only been dating for six months. Since Piper was in a period of limbo where her pop career had pretty much died (and her acting one was yet to take off) when she started dating Evans, and since he was an extremely wealthy radio and television presenter (worth an estimated £30million), it was as much about the unseemliness of the apparent "golddigger/dirty old man" dynamic as much as Piper being a role model for teenagers. Much was made in the press, for example, of Chris buying her a pricey sports car for her birthday when she hadn't even passed her driving test yet. By the time of their divorce six years later, Piper was in her mid-twenties and the 16-year age gap between them seemed less important. Whatever the case, she seems to get a lot more of the flak from the relationship than he does. Although it's most likely partly down to good old misogyny (she must be a gold-digging whore, he's a man who couldn't be expected to resist a young hottie), it seems like her contractual purity plays a part too.

Suite Life and High School Musical alum Ashley Tisdale posed nude (no frontal) for Allure. The 26-year-old Tisdale is of age (obviously), and even made it a point to say in the article that she's "...not the young girl everyone thinks I am; I'm actually a woman." Disney Channel doesn't seem to care about the shoot, though, since she still has a starring voice role as Candace on Phineas and Ferb, and has reprised her role as Sharpay in a Disney Channel spinoff movie. Alongside this she also did voice work on Family Guy and played an escort in Sons of Anarchy, and it didn't stop her from doing more work with Disney.

Numerous Power Rangers have surprised the fandom with their career moves following the show:
Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver from four different seasonal arcs) later became an MMA fighter. This isn't too shocking to the fandom, who knew that "JDF" was probably the most skilled martial artist in the show's history, but a lot of eyebrows were raised about the massive number of tattoos he'd picked up along the way (no wonder he was always wearing sweaters in Dino Thunder). Perhaps softening the blow was the fact that he was also a devout Christian, running a Christian MMA clothing line called "Jesus Didn't Tap".
Frank also appeared on MTV's sex drama Undressed after leaving the franchise (but before returning for Dino Thunder). Nobody really noticed though that says more about the show than it does about Jason. Hilariously enough, the majority of his scenes were with actress Alyson Kiperman, who also became a Power Ranger (Yellow in Power Rangers Wild Force). Ranger fans have been laughing their asses off since.
Cerina Vincent (Maya from Lost Galaxy) reappeared after Power Rangers in a Naked People Are Funny role in Not Another Teen Movie. She's also shown up, clothes-optional, in some B-grade horror films for the college set. Allegedly, she became concerned about being typecast for nudity and even haggled with a director over how many inches of her derriere would be revealed in a movie (which the director verified with a ruler).
Ricardo Medina Jr. (Cole from Wild Force) eventually showed up on the reality competition Kept for VH-1. It was, in a nutshell, a show with a lot of muscular guys being male models and being photographed in their underwear or even in their birthday suits with a Scenery Censor. Ricardo was considered to be quite a Jerkass by both the other contestants and some viewers and was ultimately eliminated from the show for simply being too vain to have around. He has since become an exotic dancer in an all-male revue.
Apparently the Nostalgia Filter is stronger than this trope, as he's returned to Power Rangers as the Worthy Opponent Rival in Samurai. This may be helped by the fact that it's been almost ten years since Wild Force, Medina (now going by "Rick") looks very different now, and his acting skills having improved considerably.
Also worth pointing out, he was still with the revue while being on Power Rangers, though the group is one in the vein of Chippendales, being classier and not getting down to actual nudity on-stage.
His career eventually got put on hold when, in 2017, he pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the 2015 killing of his roommate and was sentenced to six years in prison.

In his 2015 autobiography, Ed Sheeran states that if he was caught smoking, it would not be a big deal because of his mature public image, yet if One Direction was caught smoking, it would be world news because of the scrutiny they faced as a boy band. Though Sheeran's music isn't all that kid-friendly anyway because of references to sex, smoking, and drinking, some of his tamer songs, especially "Thinking Out Loud" and "Perfect" played on Radio Disney and he promised to stop swearing on his albums after finding out that he had young children who were fans. He no longer swears on stage because of the wide audience he draws, not even in between-song banter.

Married... with Children: Bud, in his capacity as Kelly's acting agent, manages to finagle his sister the role as the spokeswoman for Extra-EXTRA-Virgin Olive Oil. Unfortunately the oil is made by nuns, who insist that anyone representing their product be as pure as the driven snow, which presents a problem for the normally promiscuous Kelly. While she does try her hardest, ultimately Kelly breaks her how of chastity, but fortunately Bud does have someone else in mind who has been going decades without sex: his mother Peggy.

This has happened to Sesame Street Muppeteers in the past.
Carroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch) describes a bad encounter in his autobiography. One day, some moron drove onto his lawn, rolled down the window and yelled, "Hey! You the Bird? Do the voice!" Spinney says he wished he could yell "Get the hell off my property!" in Oscar's voice, but instead just silently went inside in case any of his young fans were watching.
Kevin Clash was the Muppeteer of Elmo, Baby Sinclair and numerous others. In 2012, he took a sabbatical from Sesame Street after a young man claimed that the two of them had a sexual relationship when he was 16. Clash did not deny the relationship but claimed it happened after the young man had turned 18. The accuser later withdrew the allegations, but a series of other accusers came forward in its wake. Needless to say, the "sabbatical" has turned into a full-on departure, with Ryan Dillon taking over Muppeteering duties for Elmo since.

In a second season episode of Elementary, a man's latex-clad body is found by a dominatrix. As it turns out the man is not at all into S&M - he was an important executive and upon retirement or death, his company owed him over 100 million dollars. The man who first found him was one of his coworkers. He dressed the body in the latex costume and called the dominatrix in order to later invoke the morals clause of his contract and void the payout. Ironically, the victim absolutely was violating the clause, just not because of any taste in S&M - he was sexually abusing his own son, who killed him when it seemed like his tastes might wander to his younger brother.

In Shining Song Starnova, Mr. Producer discusses this trope during one of his internal monologues. He notes that talent agencies have morality clauses that allow them to terminate an idol's employment if she's caught dating someone, a fact which forces idols to keep their relationships (and other vices) secret for fear of being fired. Mr. Producer himself nearly fires Julie after discovering that she engages in Compensated Dating, only for her to talk him out of it.

This happened to Sherri Finkbine, the hostess of Phoenix's localized Romper Room. She had been taking thalidomide while pregnant and sought an abortion when she was convinced that her baby would be deformednote sure enough, when the baby was aborted it was revealed that it had no legs and one arm. The incident caused her to become linked with the pro-choice movement (this was all the way back in 1962). The incident also inspired a 1992 telefilm.

A chapter of Not Your Idol goes into the "dating bans" many real idols in Japan are contractually obligated to follow: one flashback shows Pure Club reacting to the news of a fellow idol leaving her group after being caught kissing her boyfriend, and another shows Nina and her friends talking casually about how Nina won't be allowed to date anyone once she becomes an idol, leading one girl to muse that idols are basically "everyone's toy."

Kamen Rider Blade was hit with the news that Tsubaki Takayuki, who played The Hero, had previously appeared in a gay porn film. This was considered quite a black mark and put a question mark over whether he would appear in future nostalgia cash-ins, though he did reappear for Kamen Rider Decade and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's Gorider special, where he was given a central role in the plot. This can seem odd to outsiders, but Japan has its own Moral Guardians with different but strict standards.

Child actor Brian Bonsall, best known for his role in Family Ties as sweet little Andy Keaton, was known for playing young innocent boys who were a bit mischievous. In his feature film debut Mikey, he broke his usual typecast by portraying a 9-year-old serial killer who was abused by his original parents. In real life, he became a failed rockstar, a drug addict, and eventually a fugitive of justice.

Persona 4, which prominently features the Idol Singer Rise, brings this up from time to time. In an attempt to convince her manager Inoue that she's through with being an idol, Rise claims that she's going to marry the Player Character once she graduates, although Inoue doesn't seem to believe her. If the player does get into a relationship with Rise, she still keeps it under wraps, despite being fairly openly flirtatious toward him, possibly because of this trope. She also discusses this trope if you talk to her while wearing your Featherman costume, saying that the stars of the show have to lead decent private lives, so as not to ruin the image kids have of them.

In Persona 5, this comes up in Hifumi's Confidant. Her mother, hoping to use Hifumi's shogi career to make her into a gravure idol, tells her that she's not allowed to date, since when she becomes successful, she can get any guy she wants. In Rank 9 of the Confidant, after Hifumi's reputation is ruined as a result of her mother's crimes to further Hifumi's career being exposed, you can enter into a relationship with Hifumi.

She since appeared nude in mother! (2017) and Red Sparrow. She never did nude scenes up until that point in her work (partly because of the leak) but decided to take a chance on both because of how empowered she felt by the female leads owning their sexuality. Despite the polarizing reactions to both films themselves, Lawrence’s performances were highly acclaimed, with some calling her role in mother! a career-best.

Happens in The Pokémon Squad. After KaBlam! was cancelled, June (who was fourteen at the time) was so upset, that she started smoking and drinking. At her age of twenty-five in the fanfic series, she is a full-blown alcoholic, smokes constantly, and in the episode "The Future is Evil", she starts pole-dancing at nightclubs.
As for Henry, he tries not to get himself into trouble. He just has the occasional drink at a party.
Doug Funnie, on the other hand, subverts this. While he's still as sweet as sweet can be (and even more so), he's also an alcoholic, due to various problems in his life (which usually have to do with Barney, Roger never leaving him alone, the stress of being owned by two companies, and his job at McDonald's which is dressing up as children's characters for birthday parties)
The main six from Recess caused a scandalous incident when they went to a restaurant and ordered alcoholic beverages (and they were able to get them because T.J. explained to the waiter at the restaurant that they were nine in 1997 so they were born in 1988 and could legally drink; however, those characters in the fanfic are under Comic-Book Time and are still nine), and a little kid found them, noticed that they're the ones he saw on Disney XD and told his mom as they watched them drunkenly sing the Texas song.

Lauren Conrad of Laguna Beach and The Hills. Throughout the "Orange County" franchise, Lauren is characterized as a squeaky-clean aspiring designer who's caught in an innocent and chaste Love Triangle between Jason Wahler (the "bad boy" on the show) and Stephen Colletti (who is the "saint" of the series). In actuality, though, Lauren caught a serious amount of flack from viewers and the media during the third season of The Hills when it was alleged that she made a sex tape with Jason. This happened despite the fact that she was in her mid-20s at that point and had grown out of her teenage years. The negative press that spiraled out of this revelation (and the interest of the paparazzi) may have been part of the reason why she eventually left the show.

The Asterisk War: In volumes 7 and 8, Girl Group Rusalka plots to ruin rival Idol Singer Sylvia Lynneheym's career by starting a scandalous rumor that she has a boyfriend. This seems to be a case of Creator's Culture Carryover at work here; while Japanese otaku can get downright weird about idols' virginity, those in most other countries probably wouldn't care. (It's possible Rusalka's Empathic Weapon Lyre-Poros is messing with their heads, as Mahulena, the least compatible with it, is the only member to voice any objections to the plan.)

An interesting case in Pokémon Adventures. White freaks at the idea of one member of her star Tepig couple evolving, thinking that they would no longer be as marketable if it happens. As such, she forces Tep to stop evolving by shaking him real hard. Eventually, Tep evolves anyway, after which White adapts and figures out she can pitch the duo as a Bodyguard Crush.

Pretty much subverted by Steve Burns of Blue's Clues fame — he has explicitly stated that he has no desire to kill the image of Blue's Clues' Steve by doing anything unseemly. He's even said that he has refused requests to have sex in the Blue's Clues 'Thinking Chair' that he was given because it would feel like a bunch of parents was watching him do it.note In a storytelling session at The Moth, Burns admitted that a Playboy Playmate gave him a lap dance on the chair while they were on a date, but once she asked him to sing the Mailtime Song, he told her not to go any further. He has more recently pursued a career as an indie rock singer/songwriter and has been photographed drinking, but this was long after he left the show. This came about partially because of a role he took on Homicide: Life on the Street during his tenure on Blue's Clues. It was because a child saw him in that role that Burns made his public statement that he would not take on roles that might upset fans too young to understand that he wasn't Steve on Blue's Clues. Also averted by his successor Donovan Patton (Joe), who appeared as a gay-bashing thug on One Life to Live shortly after Blue's Room was cancelled to zero controversy.

The cast of the Harry Potter films have faced this at one point or another.
Daniel Radcliffe invoked a wave of moral outrage when he appeared on London's West End as Alan Strang in a production of Equus. It's an incredible (albeit disturbing) role that any actor would be insane to turn down the chance to play. The Moral Guardians, however, only saw Naked!Harry Potter — which is probably what the production company was banking on, anyway.
Radcliffe has managed to avert this in other ways: around the release of the final Potter movie, tabloids started reporting that he liked his liquor a tad too much. However, at this point, Daniel's in his 20s and he openly admitted he had a drinking problem and got help for it, so this story produced sympathy and "attaboy"s rather than parents screaming about "Harry" being a bad influence for their sweet little darlings.
Radcliffe seems to have become one of the defining subversions of this trope. Among those still following his career, he's now known as an Indie character actor at least as much as he's known for being Harry. There was virtually no controversy over his role in Swiss Army Man, and he played an outright sociopathic villain in Now You See Me 2. Then Radcliffe played "Weird Al" Yankovic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, earning high praise for his seriously comedic performance.
Similarly, there was some uproar about Clémence Poésy (Fleur Delacour) appearing topless in a French movie, even though it was before she was even cast in the film. (This also led to some counter-uproar along the lines of "you're complaining about a French actress appearing topless in a French film? Isn't that SOP for French films?")
Emma Watson caused shockwaves in the fandom for a scene in Ballet Shoes where her character shares a bath with her adoptive sister, and especially for the final movie where apparitions of Harry and Hermione make out naked. After completing the franchise, she went for more mature roles to shake the purity off; The Perks of Being a Wallflower has her playing a character who was molested as a child and performs a raunchy routine from The Rocky Horror Picture Show; The Bling Ring she plays a Shameless Fanservice Girl who drinks, smokes and robs celebrities' houses; Noah likewise has her character's fertility as a plot point. None of these stopped Disney from casting her as Belle in Beauty and the Beast (2017).
Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe) got this in 2009 after being arrested for possession of marijuana, being written out of the last two films (when his character was slated to be killed off later — they wound up replacing Crabbe's death with that of Goyle for the movie to compensate), even though Crabbe isn't a particularly "wholesome" character to start with. Waylett later attracted further controversy after being charged with violence during the London riots in August 2011.
On the other side, it seems pretty much no one cares that Rupert Grint acted in Cherrybomb (2009), playing a character who does drugs and steals cars. Then again, he's a bad guy who's supposed to do bad things.
Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, admitted to being conflicted when publishing her autobiography The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting, about what to detail so as not to traumatize any fans' image of Luna. She's also talked about her responsibility whenever she meets people, as she doesn't want to "ruin Harry Potter" for anyone. She also had to insist that the autobiography was not for young fans, given that it details her struggles with an eating disorder. But she hasn't let it stop her from pursuing darker roles, such as a suicidal teen in My Name Is Emily (although the film itself isn't that explicit).
Harry Melling, who plays Dudley Dursley in the films, has lost a huge amount of weight over the years (to the point of having to wear a fat suit for the final movie) and is barely recognizable from his younger self. He's publicly stated he is happy about this so he can avoid Contractual Purity in his adult career as an actor.

Bakuman。 starts with then-middle-schoolers Mashiro "Saiko" Moritaka and Miho Azuki promising to marry each other when she becomes a seiyuu and he a mangaka (as part of the duo Ashirogi Muto), and she voices the female MC of their manga's anime. Since then, they've had as squeaky-clean a relationship as you can think of, never even kissing, and having a long-distance relationship in which they barely saw each other. Still, when the public got hold of their relationship, both Azuki and the Ashirogi Muto caught a lot of flak, as did Fukuda when he called out those behind the backlash while giving a radio interview.

Entourage:
After making the Aquaman movie, Vincent is "branded" by the studio as being family franchise only — which means that, until he completes all three movies in his Aquaman contract, the studio is unwilling to let him make his dream film Medellin (about drug lord Pablo Escobar) for fear of hurting the franchise. Of course, since admitting this to Vincent would naturally make him quite angry, the studio tries to deflect the issue by setting up a series of seemingly impossible conditions before they'll let him make the movie. Which backfires even worse, because while Vincent may have accepted the problem if they had told him about it outright, the fact that they lied to him and sent him on a wild goose chase causes him to make an unreasonable demand of his own — thirty million dollars or he's not putting on the tights again.
There is another story arc where Vince becomes romantically involved with actress/singer Mandy Moore when the two of them are cast in the Aquaman film together. When Mandy's handlers find out about the relationship, they attempt to force an end to it because they fear that Mandy's squeaky-clean, good-girl image will be damaged if the public learns that she's involved with Vincent Chase, who has a reputation as a womanizing party animal.

Yakuza 5: This trope ripples through the entire plot. Mirei's idol career was strangled in the cradle by the fact that she was married and pregnant, and the fact that she had a divorce and an abortion she didn't quite manage to keep secret in an attempt to salvage her career only made things worse. Meanwhile, Haruka, whose foster father is an ex-con and retired yakuza, has to keep everything about her family secret, or the scandal would destroy her career. Of course, very few producers are above suggesting the Casting Couch, and that literally everyone Haruka works with has even stronger ties to the yakuza is overlooked.

One year after Home Alone 2: Lost in New York came out, Macaulay Culkin was seen starring in the R-rated film The Good Son where he plays a 10-year-old psychopath. Among the things Culkin's character does are killing a dog with a homemade nailgun, causing a highway crash by dropping a dummy off a bridge, attempting to kill his mother, and as it's later found out, murdering his younger brother by drowning him in the bathtub. This generated a large amount of controversy, especially from more conservative fans. And yet, he still was caught in the trope when, a full decade later, he played Michael Alig, the controversial founder of Club Kids, in Party Monster.

An interesting example happened in the 12th season of the Spanish series Cuéntame Cómo Pasó. Back in the first season, six-year-old Ricardo Gomez was cast as 8-year-old Carlitos, and since the series has been on air for over 10 years, the now-16-year-old actor is playing an 18-year-old character who had to become sexually active as it was necessary for the series to reflect the Spanish "destape" age. A few people in Spain thought it scandalous when Carlitos and his girlfriend had sex. The scene was filmed overhead, so the nudity was minimal, but some people admitted to being uncomfortable watching the children they had seen grow up on TV having sex. However, the controversy in Spain was still relatively small compared to what one can imagine would have been the Moral Guardians outrage if something like this had happened in the US.

Molly Holly speaks against this trope in her shoot interview. As she was a Christian in real life, many dirtsheets 'reported' that she left WWE because they wanted her to "play the T&A card" - and apparently disliked the Fanservice heavy Diva Search contests. Molly said she wasn't bothered by T&A, describing it as "a part of show business". Fans also seem to forget that she still participated in plenty of bikini shoots during her time in the company. She did, however, tell WWE when they hired her that she wouldn't do risque storylines - so she was portrayed as a Token Wholesome amongst the other sexualised Divas.

Billie Eilish gained fame in The New '10s for her modest image, known for baggy clothes and a Tomboyish appearance. Naturally Moral Guardians held her up as a 'better' role model for young girls in comparison to pop stars with more sexual images (never mind that her songs can be quite dark and not necessarily appropriate for children). In 2021, she caused a sensation by appearing on the cover of Vogue, wearing a corset and with a Girliness Upgrade. British tabloid The Daily Mail ran a headline about her "selling out" but were swiftly refuted as Billie outlined that she was regaining autonomy of her own body.

WWE seems to flip-flop on the issue of racy photos. Some Divas such as Mickie James and Candice Michelle did softcore porn in the past but it never affected their standing on TV. Mickie especially was pushed as a Token Wholesome during the PG Era (though her character did begin as a Psycho Lesbian). Likewise, Gail Kim was rehired during the PG Era, despite having done topless photos for a Korean cell phone company. Eva Marie also worries about it on an episode of Total Divas when racy pictures are found from her past. Some nude selfies of both Paige and Dana Brooke have been discovered online, but neither woman has suffered any known consequences for them. Lana did some nude scenes and photoshoots from her modeling and acting days, but no one at WWE seems to have cared.

In Scream 3, Angelina, the seemingly-sweet ingenue actress playing Sidney in the Film Within a Film Stab 3 (loosely based on the events of the past films), turns out to be a prima donna who exploited the Casting Couch in order to get the part. Unsurprisingly for a series that runs on mocking the cliches of slasher movies, Sex Signals Death kicks in almost immediately after this is revealed. In the original version of the script, meanwhile, she was supposed to have been one of the killers.

Canadian singer Skye Sweetnam first emerged in the 2000s as a Teen Pop singer performing the kind of Pop Punk made for the Disney Channel and teen dramas. After hitting adulthood and outgrowing teen pop, she set out to record a more mature third album, only for her and her writing partner Matt Drake to realize that her lyrics had gotten a lot darker than they expected. As a result, she pivoted hard into a much more hard-edged sound and Hotter and Sexier image, becoming the frontwoman of the metal band Sumo Cyco with the stage name "Sever". She only rarely acknowledges her old solo career and even recorded a video in which Sever kidnaps Skye.

In 30 Rock, Jenna Maroney at one point contracts to be the spokeswoman for the wool trade group, which includes a morality clause because of wool's wholesome image. This poses something of a problem for Jenna since she does have a habit of getting into shenanigans and freaky sex, but then, she reasons, she can always do that in private. Her problem is that her boyfriend Paul is a "gender-dysmorphic bigenitalian pansexualle" who, long story short, dresses up as Jenna for a living (and beat her in a Jenna Maroney lookalike contest). Hilarity Ensues when the president of the wool trade group and his wife come to dinner, and Jenna and Paul are trying to act normal...

Zig-zagged on RuPaul's Drag Race. While it doesn't matter if a contestant acted in porn before appearing on the show, contestants are forbidden from doing so afterwards for as long as they're under the Drag Race contract (usually a period of five years since their last appearance on the show). Canada Season 1 contestant Ilona Varley spoke candidly about becoming homeless during the COVID pandemic when she couldn't perform onstage yet wasn't allowed to run an OnlyFans page for income.

Kevin Clash was the Muppeteer of Elmo, Baby Sinclair and numerous others. In 2012, he took a sabbatical from Sesame Street after a young man claimed that the two of them had a sexual relationship when he was 16. Clash did not deny the relationship but claimed it happened after the young man had turned 18. The accuser later withdrew the allegations, but a series of other accusers came forward in its wake. Needless to say, the "sabbatical" has turned into a full-on departure, with Ryan Dillon taking over Muppeteering duties for Elmo since.

Alexa (Pena)Vega began her career with the Spy Kids films and light fare like Sleepover, but quickly switched to darker roles such as Repo! The Genetic Opera (where her character is fittingly Delicate and Sickly as well as Innocence Lost). She's also gone memetic for her Hotter and Sexier turn in Machete Kills and a cameo as a stripper in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Ironically both of the latter two projects were by the man that directed her in Spy Kids - Robert Rodriguez. According to Alexa, she had to fight to be considered for those roles. Upon being turned down for being "just a kid", she responded that she was twenty-four and she was given the part.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai: Female lead Mai Sakurajima is a child actress who, following the events of volume 1, has come back from a break in her career and is transitioning to adult roles, and she and her boyfriend, male lead Sakuta Azusagawa, have to spend a fair amount of effort navigating the purity standards of Japanese celebrity culture. After Mai accidentally lets slip to her manager that they're in a relationship in volume 3, they're told to hold off on dating to avoid endangering her Career Resurrection (which might cause her Adolescence Syndrome to relapse). However, after they're photographed together by a paparazzi in volume 5, she and said manager quickly move to get in front of it by holding a press conference to announce that, yes, she has a boyfriend, and (paraphrased) he's a civilian so would you all please behave like reasonable human beings and leave him the hell alone. Surprisingly, this works, and they have no further problems.

Cheyenne Cinnamon appears to be a parody of this; she projects the image of a wholesome Teen Idol, surrounds herself with anthropomorphic candy who act as her bodyguards and managers, sings about "magic and love", believes in abstinence until marriage, literally has magical powers, lives in the Candyland-esque Sugar Town Fudge and spends the first (and only) episode trying to help a disadvantaged pregnant teen. However, this is all a mask; she's really a Hard-Drinking Party Girl whose Candyland-esque wonderland includes a cocaine volcano, which she partakes in often. While she believes in abstinence until marriage, her song on the subject heavily implies Technical Virgin and her interest in the aforementioned pregnant teen does the poor girl more harm than good and eventually gets her arrested.

This even happens with buildings. Several years ago, one blogger posted pictures he'd taken of the house from A Christmas Story and complained about how the owners had made several exterior renovations to the house. The house was auctioned off on eBay in 2004, and the new owners restored the house to the way it looked in the movie and turned it into a museum. In the last few years, the company formed to look after the house allows guests to stay the night, and the interior has been meticulously designed to be a perfect match to its appearance in the film.

For a long time, Adrian Hall, who played Jeremy Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, would omit the movie on his resume and ask his manager to not mention it because he was afraid it would damage his credibility as an adult actor, i.e. that casting directors would only see him as a "child actor". But as he got successful in his adult acting career, he would put the movie on his resume and speak about it more often.

Disney's Hannah Montana was at the center of this almost from the start of her career. From "art shots" taken when she was just fifteen years old, to leaked phone pics of her in a wet T-shirt, to a video of her grinding on the (gay) producer of her film The Last Song when she was sixteen, to her scantily-clad performance of her song "Party in the USA" at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards (where she danced on a pole at one point), there was always a clash between her squeaky-clean Disney image and her real personality. She was forced to appear as Hannah Montana, complete with blonde wig and sparkly clothes - a far cry from her real persona.

Nicholas Hammond (aka Friedrich von Trapp) remarked in the special features of the The Sound of Music DVD that he had tried to avoid doing anything that would get him in the papers in a bad light because he "didn't want to ruin the image" and the rest of his castmates agreed with him. Slightly subverted in that A) they didn't seem to mind all that much and B) Nicholas is the only one involved with film these days (in Australia).

Mostly averted by Britney's classic rival and fellow The Mickey Mouse Club alum Christina Aguilera, whose early material was always a little suggestive. And being a year older than Britney, she was legally an adult when her breakout hit "Genie In A Bottle" came out. This made her later, more sexually mature material easier to accept. She still took heat for it though on account of her being very popular with teen and tween girls. The Jenny Jones Show actually did an episode in 2003 about young girls who were imitating her.

The implication of this plays a big role in Heroine Voice. Suzu Ayase was a popular Idol Singer who got egged on by websites that accused her of dating an anime producer and going home with a fan of her work. Though these charges aren't real, they did play a part in her quitting idol work and relocating to a different voice acting agency. For that matter, being only seventeen years old meant she had no idea how to handle any of it.

The alternative band Adam Again garnered controversy in the Christian music world in the late 1980s, not because of the content of their lyrics, but because singer Riki Michele danced onstage during their concerts. Her dancing wasn't even suggestive and was comparable to the kind of stage movements that secular alt-rockers like Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe were doing at the same time, but dancing at all was still considered controversial in some particularly conservative Christian circles.

Because Amy Grant is a Christian artist, she got in trouble with conservative Christian audiences for dressing in low-cut clothing and singing secular love songs, as well as defending her outfit choices by saying "Christians can be sexy." This caused a major uproar in much of the Christian music community, though since crossing over, she has continued to balance Christian and secular material.

Paz in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is something of a parody of this treatment towards Japanese pop idols. She has blond hair, is The Pollyanna, and is voiced (in the Japanese version) by a Japanese pop star, who even contributes an Image Song for her for the soundtrack. But Paz herself is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, who is a lot older than she says she is and hates her false identity more than anything else on Earth.

When SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor Rodger Bumpass—the voice of Squidward—was arrested on suspected DUI charges, it was later revealed that the show's cast was under a "morals clause" where they had to set an example of themselves by not doing anything immoral likely so as not to alienate and scar their young fan base; fortunately for Bumpass, the DUI incident wasn't considered grounds for termination from the show.

The show deconstructed this with "Britney's New Look", painting this as a deliberate invocation in the style of The Lottery, where young starlets going into adulthood were routinely sacrificed to guarantee a good harvest. After they were done with Britney, they then turned to Miley Cyrus, saying: "Next year will be a good harvest."

WWE implemented a policy around 2006-2007 stating that no talent under the age of 21 was allowed to be called up to the main roster. This was primarily in response to the antics of both Kelly Kelly and Kenny Dykstra (19 and 20, respectively), both of whom were avid partiers at the time. While this was before the transition to PG, it nonetheless did no favors for the company's image or their characters on TV. Thus, the policy was to ensure that the talent on the road had the general maturity to rein it in and keep these things in mind. About a decade later, WWE amended the policy, stating that no talent under the age of 21 was allowed to be signed. No official reasoning was given for the change, but it's speculated that this was in response to several older call-ups who were signed young and displayed immature behavior on the road (such as Paige and Bo Dallas). Any talent that was already signed that technically broke the rule was grandfathered.

Ricardo Medina Jr. (Cole from Wild Force) eventually showed up on the reality competition Kept for VH-1. It was, in a nutshell, a show with a lot of muscular guys being male models and being photographed in their underwear or even in their birthday suits with a Scenery Censor. Ricardo was considered to be quite a Jerkass by both the other contestants and some viewers and was ultimately eliminated from the show for simply being too vain to have around. He has since become an exotic dancer in an all-male revue.
Apparently the Nostalgia Filter is stronger than this trope, as he's returned to Power Rangers as the Worthy Opponent Rival in Samurai. This may be helped by the fact that it's been almost ten years since Wild Force, Medina (now going by "Rick") looks very different now, and his acting skills having improved considerably.
Also worth pointing out, he was still with the revue while being on Power Rangers, though the group is one in the vein of Chippendales, being classier and not getting down to actual nudity on-stage.
His career eventually got put on hold when, in 2017, he pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the 2015 killing of his roommate and was sentenced to six years in prison.

After making the Aquaman movie, Vincent is "branded" by the studio as being family franchise only — which means that, until he completes all three movies in his Aquaman contract, the studio is unwilling to let him make his dream film Medellin (about drug lord Pablo Escobar) for fear of hurting the franchise. Of course, since admitting this to Vincent would naturally make him quite angry, the studio tries to deflect the issue by setting up a series of seemingly impossible conditions before they'll let him make the movie. Which backfires even worse, because while Vincent may have accepted the problem if they had told him about it outright, the fact that they lied to him and sent him on a wild goose chase causes him to make an unreasonable demand of his own — thirty million dollars or he's not putting on the tights again.

Two and a Half Men often played with this in later seasons, where a running meta-gag was that many of Walden, Jake, and Jenny's girlfriends were played by actresses who used to work on the Disney Channel, such as Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, and Aly Michalka. Inevitably, their characters would be Ms. Fanservice women in revealing clothes who sleep around and act generally trashy, specifically to send up their family-friendly public images. Osment's episode even had Walden referring to her character as "Hannah Montana", in case you didn't know what show her actress was most famous for.

In 2013, AKB48 member Minami Minegishi was caught leaving the house of a member of Japanese boy band EXILE. AKB fansnote in Japan; western fans were either much more sympathetic towards her or didn't really care beyond "it's her fault for breaking the rules of the group" were pissed, so much so that she shaved her head (a symbol of remorse in Japan) and made a tearful apology video begging not to be kicked out of the group. She was instead demoted to the Kenkyusei (trainee) unit. The whole thing was fairly controversial, sparking no shortage of moral debates. These days, she's pretty much back to star status.

Hulk Hogan was considered The All-American Face of the WWF since the mid-1980s, telling children to train hard, eat their vitamins, say their prayers, and believe in themselves. In the early 1990s, Hogan was revealed to have taken steroids for at least fifteen years and was said to have been a Prima Donna who buried other talents that he felt were a threat to his top spot. Then two decades later, he was caught using the N-word multiple times during a sex tape with another man's wife. Even though he got his revenge on the website that released the tape by suing them into bankruptcy, it was a Pyrrhic Victory; his WWE Legends contract was terminated and Hogan himself was unpersoned in the process. Though he would eventually be re-personed three years later (appearently at the behest of the Saudi royal family, who wanted Golden Age Era talent for the Crown Jewel shows).

She got some flak for posing in Arena just before her debut as Rose Tyler in Doctor Who. She later had to specifically warn her young fans from that show that it would not be a good idea for them to watch Secret Diary of a Call Girl. She didn't get much heat from the tabloids for switching to the more risqué role, however.

Trish Stratus did some rather risque photos in her fitness modeling days but toned down her shoots as her wrestling career took off. Likewise, her outfits became a little more modest and she repeatedly refused to pose for Playboy. She's said this is because she wanted to be remembered for her wrestling rather than being Best Known for the Fanservice. She's also said that she can be sexy with her clothes on.

To get out of her contract on 7th Heaven, Jessica Biel invoked this trope by posing topless (not frontal) in Gear magazine. When she was just seventeen. This was enough to get her character Put on a Bus for a good while, returning only sparingly and practically evolving into The Ghost with her own entirely off-screen storylines.

Second, in the late '00s his Twitter account was filled with the sort of offensive Black Comedy one might expect from him given his background (jokes about AIDS and pedophilia, for example). He cleaned up his act and apologized for his older tweets once he was hired by Disney to work on the Guardians films, but in 2018, these tweets were dug up once more in a campaign to get him fired. Disney obliged, removing him from any future Disney projects such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The backlash against Disney was swift, largely because many people saw the campaign to get Gunn fired as a hit job driven by people with questionable political motives.Specifically...It was driven mainly by far-right activists led by the infamous troll Mike Cernovich, motivated largely by Gunn's criticism of Donald Trump and a belief that Disney was being hypocritical in firing Roseanne Barr from her eponymous show for similar tweets, as well as an attempt to promote conspiracy theories tying Democrats and liberal activists more broadly to pedophilia. The difference between Gunn and Barr was that Barr's tweets were made as her show was on the air rather than years ago, they were part of a long, recent trend of controversial statements that didn't seem like just edgy trolling, and her apology came off to many as insincere. What's more, Cernovich himself had not only also tweeted similar rape jokes, he had actually been charged with sexual assault in the past, making him look like a hypocrite himself, while no one came forward to accuse Gunn of the same things after the tweets resurfaced even at the height of the #MeToo movement when many victims of celebrity predators were coming forward with their stories. It wasn't until several months later that Disney and Gunn began patching things up. In the end, the campaign backfired. Not only did Disney rehire Gunn (a decision that was actually made months before they officially announced it), but in the meantime, Gunn was also hired to write and direct the 2021 film The Suicide Squad, largely on the strength of his fanbase pushing for other studios to hire him. Everything seems to have worked out for him in the long run thanks to his handling of the controversy in a mature and professional fashion (swiftly apologizing and accepting full responsibility for the consequences of his past tweets, and not criticizing either his former employers or the trolls who attacked him), his critics' only accomplishment being to make him look like the victim of a malicious slander campaign and actually double the number of big-budget superhero movies he was working on.

Rapper Nelly arguably damaged his mainstream career by making the "Tip Drill" video. Before it came out, Nelly was being groomed to be like the next Will Smith (but with more street cred), as a rapper who had mass appeal and wasn't like the other hardcore gritty rappers in the mainstream. So now there's this huge backlash and Nelly's career seemed defined by that raunchy vid. Some argued that it sapped his career's momentum.

Radcliffe seems to have become one of the defining subversions of this trope. Among those still following his career, he's now known as an Indie character actor at least as much as he's known for being Harry. There was virtually no controversy over his role in Swiss Army Man, and he played an outright sociopathic villain in Now You See Me 2. Then Radcliffe played "Weird Al" Yankovic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, earning high praise for his seriously comedic performance.

Discussed in Ensemble Stars!: as all of the main characters are idols, they will be expected to remain single to appease their fans as long as they are performing. Kaoru, being The Slacker, mostly tries to ignore this and flirts with girls a lot anyway, but Love Comedy finally brings up the Elephant in the Room with Rei confronting him about the matter and forcing him to choose between his current carefree lifestyle and the serious requirements of being an idol. Kaoru ultimately decides to put his womanising on hold and wait for the day he and Anzu can be together if she will have him. (On a lighter note, in the same story Tomoya expresses a bit of envy that Kaoru even could be associated with such a scandal - he'd like to be considered cool and mature boyfriend material, but fans of his unit only ever seem to find them all cute...)

South Park:
In the episode "Taming Strange", Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba! decides to adopt a more adult-oriented image. Her castmates and Sinead O'Connor try to talk her out of it, but they are unsuccessful, and Foofa gives a raunchy performance.
The show deconstructed this with "Britney's New Look", painting this as a deliberate invocation in the style of The Lottery, where young starlets going into adulthood were routinely sacrificed to guarantee a good harvest. After they were done with Britney, they then turned to Miley Cyrus, saying: "Next year will be a good harvest."
The episode "The Ring" similarly riffed on how Disney treated its male teen stars, specifically how The Jonas Brothers promoted sexual abstinence even as the company made them into sex symbols. At one point, Mickey Mouse shows up to beat the brothers into submission when they voice a desire to live like normal teenagers.

An even more extreme example is that when voice actresses were once gravure or porn actresses. The best they could receive is to have no or little future roles. At worst, it would be an outright ban from the voice acting industry, like former voice actress Eriko Ishihara (who played Atsuko in Diamond Daydreams); she was banned from the voice acting industry in 2004 when news broke that she also was an AV idol while doing voice acting.

Averted with Asuka. While she has never gone as far to pose nude, she was a well-known Ms. Fanservice in her pre-WWE days, being a Gravure model, releasing a few DVDs and more than a few pictures, portraying a Psycho Lesbian, kissing her fellow female wrestlers, allowing male wrestlers to grope her and even once added a stipulation to a match against Lin Bairon that the loser would have to remove her top and bare their breasts to the audiencenote She won but only got as far as pulling down Lin's bra-strap before she managed to run off. None of this has stopped her from becoming arguably the most dominant female wrestler in WWE history.

In Ernest Saves Christmas, a famous children's show host wanted to break out of the kid scene and have a more serious role but backed out of it when his role required him to swear. It's played with in that the character (who's a send-up to Mr. Rogers) clearly doesn't want to make the switch and still prefers working with children but his career as an actor had taken a big hit and he felt this was the only way to start getting roles again.

Heck, Japanese fans do this to fictional characters too. Probably the most infamous example is Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens, where one chapter of the manga hinted that Nagi had a boyfriend once (not that she had sex, just that she was romantic with a guy). Cue angry fans decrying the series and the author, saying "I don't want a second-hand wife", and the author subsequently ending the series for health reasons, which most people believe is the stress she suffered from dealing with said fans. Making it even more bizarre is the fact that Nagi is hundreds of years old, and her fans are still outraged that she might have dated a guy at some point during her centuries-long existence.

Once WWE went PG in 2008, Maria Kanellis was told she wasn't allowed to do the Bronco Buster in the ring (as the move was deemed too suggestive). Maria outlined the hypocrisy in a shoot interview; comparing it to Kim Kardashian still getting to host the Kids' Choice Awards when she had a sex tape online.

The face of WWE John Cena has stated in the past that this is pretty much the sole reason that it would be difficult for him to become a villain. He enjoys the charity work that he does, and it would be difficult for him and the WWE to give it up without a replacement handy. This trope was also the reason there was such a scandal over him getting divorced from his wife. Because Super Cena isn't supposed to have marriage problems like a normal guy. Notably his former girlfriend and fiancée Nikki Bella had to sign an NDA when entering their relationship, and thus the chapter in her autobiography detailing it is left incredibly vague.

Several presenters on UK children's magazine show Blue Peter have been fired for misbehaviour of different sorts, often exacerbated by the tabloids amplifying the scandal for sales. This ranges from Richard Bacon, who was sacked after being caught taking cocaine, to Janet Ellis, who was allegedly sacked for an unwed pregnancy. Other notorious cases include Peter Duncan, fired for having appeared in a soft porn film and not letting the BBC know, and Lesley Judd, who quit when it was about to be made public that her lover had left his wife for her. It was even stricter when the show started in the late fifties: the first presenter Christopher Trace was fired simply because he was getting divorced. This was satirised by The Armstrong and Miller Show.

Gabriel Thomson, who plays the uptight and geeky Michael in My Family, caused a minor outcry in the UK press when he was arrested for drug possession. He is best known for his role as Sasha in Enemy at the Gates at age 8 and then joining the cast of My Family at 13.

In Brat Pack, the whole reason the Brat Pack exists is that the so-called heroes' merchandising contracts require them to keep teenage sidekicks. The idea was that having minors around would force the "heroes" to control their personal vices, but the vigilantes have simply turned their sidekicks into monsters like them.

An episode of Diagnosis: Murder had the murder victim (the Executive Head of a PAX-style Christian TV network) given a fatal heart attack by video clips sliced into a show she's reviewing that had images of a lookalike practicing Satanism (which she did in college), something that would ruin anyone's career, let alone hers.

Australian singer/actor Jason Donovan suffered from this trope. He first was a clean-cut actor/singer who was loved by a lot of teenage girls across the world (mostly in the UK) and "Jasonmania" began to rise. He was squeaky clean throughout his career until 1992 when he realised that he was going too far with his innocence when he actually wanted to be "cool", and he ended up getting into a drug addiction and decided to become a mature singer by making and releasing his fourth album with Polydor called "All Around the World". To make a long story short, fans who were used to his clean image didn't like his new image. It didn't help that he sued a magazine months later for accusing him of lying about his sexuality and being a hypocrite (he was actually right, the accusations were actually untrue), thus making a majority of his fans undeservingly turn their backs on him. Thankfully, the encounter between him and his wife and the birth of his first daughter let him have a chance to clean himself up again and lead a normal and decent life.

It was widely speculated before being flat-out stated by Triple H himself that the main reason why Chyna was long kept out of the Hall of Fame, and wasn't asked to do one-off appearances, was because of her porn career, rather than her frosty relationship with the McMahons (especially with Stephanie, Hunter's wife). In fact, many HOF inductees don't have the best relationship with them (i.e. Bruno Sammartino), but Chyna was such a train wreck that not even Vince, who is always willing to put aside a grudge for the sake of entertainment, would let her anywhere near the WWE in any capacity. After she passed away, WWE seemed open to letting her into the Hall of Fame, and she would ultimately be inducted in 2019 as part of DX.

The major characters of Love Me Nice all need to maintain squeaky clean public personas to protect the image of the popular children's show they work for, to the point where one of them getting a boob job is cause for a minor crisis because it might make her look too mature and sexual for the part she plays on the show.

A similar incident brewed when it emerged that Hikaru Yamamoto, who plays Akiko in Kamen Rider Double, had supposedly posed for scantily-clad pictures. This occurred before the show was broadcast, and the incident died down quickly since it could not be proved that the pictures were of her.
