Bill Cosby. The man who was once universally loved skyrocketed to the top of the most disliked list, just nudging out Ariana Grande. Others in the list include prior Food Network star Paula Deen, singer Miley Cyrus, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, and Dr. Oz.
The Hollywood Reporter reports the numbers, called Q Scores, track both positive and negative scores paying particular attention to the yearly change of a star's score. The former "Cosby Show" star had a 43 point increase in his dislike factor.
"I don't ever recall seeing an increase like that,” Q Scores executive VP Henry Schafer said. “It's the biggest drop I've ever seen. A complete reversal."
THR writes Cosby "once recorded the highest Q Score ever, with more than 70 percent of Americans saying, Cosby was one of their favorite celebrities."
There is one caveat to the ratings. Schafer acknowledges the highest “dislike” rating goes to Kim Kardashian. But he points out “that's not a bad thing for her. That's how she markets herself."
Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman head up the other end of the list as most liked. In addition, well received are Denzel Washington, Steven Spielberg and Betty White.
