Celebrity Villain Draft: Pick Your Favorite Scandal and Place Your Bets 🎲🍿

Welcome to the bloodsport where your childhood heroes become the nation’s favorite antagonists.

I. Welcome to the Scandalbowl

Forget the Super Bowl, the Met Gala, and the Oscars. The only event that truly unites America in 2025 is the Celebrity Villain Draft: a Vegas-style, fantasy-league free-for-all where public meltdowns, PR nightmares, and tabloid implosions determine the year’s all-star anti-heroes.

Just like a stock market for schadenfreude, the odds change by the hour. New betrayals, court filings, and burner TikToks keep the leaderboards spicy—because who needs therapy when you can watch a reality star torch their career live on Twitch?

IV. The True Drama: Betting on the Worst in Us

People say “never meet your heroes.” In 2025, it’s “never draft your heroes, just bet on their downfall.” Maybe it’s the dopamine hit of outrageous headlines. Maybe it’s the last shared cultural experience we’ve got. Or maybe America just really likes watching wealthy people crash and burn. (Hey, at least it’s not you.)

• Who will launch the first apology NFT?
• Which scandal will be spun into an Oscar-bait miniseries?
• Who gets the coveted “Villain of the Year” trading card?

One thing is certain: In the 2025 Celebrity Villain Draft, the house always wins—and that house is probably surrounded by TMZ drones.

Would I recommend betting on any of these stars for actual money? Of course not. But would I invest spiritually in the next public flameout? Only if there’s a scandalbracket office pool.
