10 Celebrities That are Sore Losers

Winning isn’t everything, and this is something that most people learn at an early age.  While this fact may be a tough pill to swallow, it can also help people cope with the fact that they can’t be the winner every single time.  Unfortunately, many people fail to learn these lessons, and grow up being terrible losers who pout and whine when things don’t go their way.  Unfortunately for celebrities, these childish reactions are often caught on tape and etched into the public’s memory bank. Whether it be crashing a stage, frowning, or leaving an event all together, some celebrities have proven to be extremely bad at losing.  Here are 10 celebrities that are sore losers.

10. Lil Kim

Lil Kim was once the leading female emcee in the game.  However, throughout her career, Kim has always had a hard time getting along with her female competition.  In more recent years, hip-hop’s current queen, Nicki Minaj, has been the target for Lil Kim’s beef.  During an interview in 2010, Minaj discussed their situation and stated: “You know what scares people? Success. When you don’t make moves and you don’t climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you’re not competition. I feel like, you are going to go down in history now as a sore loser, as opposed to going down in history as the Queen.”

9.  Chris Brown

In 2013, Chris Brown made headlines after his reaction to losing to Frank Ocean at the Grammys was caught on tape. When Ocean’s name was announced, Brown stayed seated and did not applaud.  While the public felt disgust at his reaction, fellow singer Adele took it upon herself to speak to Brown about his rude behavior.

8. Faith Hill

Faith Hill is a very talented artist who is used to receiving praise for her work.  However, like everyone else, Hill can’t always come out on top.  During the 2006 CMA Awards, Hill displayed a bit of poor sportsmanship when she lost the Best Female Vocalist of the Year award to Carrie Underwood.  On camera, Hill appeared to be saying “what?” when Underwood’s name was announced, and the public quickly showed their disappointment with Hill’s reaction.  Hill has since spoken about the incident insisting that she was joking and meant absolutely no harm.

7. Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen, wife of New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, certainly knows how to stand by her man.  In 2012, Bundchen publicly criticized her husband’s teammates after a tough Super Bowl loss. Bundchen stated: “You have to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot…throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

6. Marion Bartoli

Former professional tennis player, Marion Bartoli, showed the world her true colors in 2009 after a tough loss.  After a match against longtime rival, Virginia Razzano, Bartoli refused to shake her opponents hand.  According to sources, Bartoli was still harboring hard feelings towards Razzano who had made several negative comments regarding the seriousness of a leg injury Bartoli had sustained earlier that year.

5.  LeBron James

LeBron James could quite possibly go down in history as the greatest basketball player ever.  Due to his extreme talent and competitive nature, losing is not something that James is used to or does well.  In 2009, James stunned fans when he refused to shake hands after a tough loss to the Orlando Magic.  Instead of congratulating the other team on their win, James stormed off to the locker room.

4. Elton John

Elton John is an extremely busy man. However, in 2012, he still managed to find the time to insult fellow musician, Madonna, after the she beat him out for  Golden Globe award. During Madonna’s acceptance speech, a stone-faced John was caught on camera. John’s husband, David Furnish, later took to Facebook to express that he felt Madonna did not deserve the award.

3. Eddie Murphy

It’s all fun and games until someone loses an award, and Eddie Murphy made that perfectly clear. In 2007 after losing an Academy Award to Alan Arkin, Murphy stormed out of the award show and left the venue all together.  While many viewed this as a temper tantrum, Murphy’s agent insisted that his leaving had nothing to do with the loss.

2. Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is one of the most popular artists in the industry.  However, by no means is she above the competition.  In 2013, Swift made headlines when she made a displeasing face after Adele was announced as the winner for Best Song at the Golden Globe Awards. Swift’s apparent attitude was made worse by the fact that Adele seems to be one of the sweetest and most gracious people in the industry.

1. Kanye West

Kanye West is perhaps the biggest sore loser in the industry.  In 2006, he was an ungracious loser during the MTV Europe Awards when his name wasn’t called as the winner for Best Video. Even when a loss has absolutely nothing to do with him, he still feels the need to cause a scene.  Twice, he has obnoxiously defended music icon Beyonce during award shows in which she has lost.
