We’re equal opportunity offenders truth-tellers here at The Hollywood Gossip.
So, because we previously documented the large number of terrible celebrity mothers out there., it’s only fair that we now turn things around and ask:
Who is the worst famous father in Hollywood?
Unfortunately (for their kids), there are a number of contenders for this dishonor. Click through the nominees below and decide on the most dismal of all these dads…
Jon Gosselin
In August of 2016, Gosselin admitted that he hasn’t seen some of his kids in years. Said daughter Mady about her dad: “He should maybe spend some time thinking about why we don’t want to see him, and maybe realize that if he ever does want a relationship with us, talking about us on TV is not the way to make that happen.”
Charlie Sheen
When he isn’t going on bizarre rants, doing drugs or leaving his children in the custody of Denise Richards, he’s letting them hang out with porn stars. Sorry, Charlie, but you’re LOSING as a father.
Matthew Knowles
Matthew Knowles was fired at his daughter’s manager in 2011 because Beyonce suspected her dad of stealing from her. That’s pretty darn bad. He also fathered a child out of wedlock while married to Beyonce’s mom, Tina.
Woody Allen
In February 2014, Woody Allen’s adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, published a New York Times piece alleging the famous director molested her when she was seven years old. Few people are on Woody’s side in this debate.
Scott Disick
Scott Disick certainly seems to care about partying and drinking more than spending time with his children. He didn’t even attend his daughter’s third birthday party, according to reports.
Michael Lohan
Michael Lohan has practically been arrested more times than his daughter. That’s a tragically impressive feat. He’s a terrible influence.
Joe Jackson
Joe Jackson was left out of his iconic son’s will. The patriarch of a very famous family has often been accused of physical and emotional abuse.
O.J. Simpson
Need we explain why?
Chris Brown
We’re just assuming here. Brown seems to be getting along with his daughter, Royalty, but come on: would you want Chris Brown as a father?!?
Evander Holyfield
At one point, in May 2013, Evander Holyfield owed $327,858.36 in child support for his 12 children by 6 women. We’re not kidding.
Adam Lind
Teen Mom 2 star Adam Lind was arrested in May of 2015 for failing to pay child support. Not cool at all.
Bobby Brown
We know Bobby Brown is going through Hell with his daughter, but we must keep it real: he was rarely there for Bobbi Kristina.
Flavor Flav
Flavor Flav has A LOT of children. He’s been arrested numerous times, once failong jail time for owing over $100,000 in chil support.
