There are certain names present on the Hollywood sidewalk that many people dislike for being registered in such a prestigious place. Therefore, some names end up being vandalized.
Stars vandalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Donald Trump, former US president, is one of the vandalized names. In fact, there have been several vandalisms recorded over the last few years. The reason for the hate? Probably the fact that Trump displeased many people during his administration.
His star has been there since 2007, long before he became the US head of state. His work at the head of the program “O Aprendiz” was what guaranteed his place on the Walk of Fame.
In 2016, the Trump star was given a swastika, and said several videos showed people letting dogs defecate on her. In 2017, several Pride Resistance March stickers were pasted.
Already in 2018, a movement collected more than 40,000 signatures calling for the removal of Trump's name from hollywood. However, the local Chamber of Commerce said it cannot remove the stars.
Including, the former president's star was destroyed by a man named James Otis, who did the damage using a pickaxe in 2017. Then it was Austin Clay's turn to destroy the same location in 2018. In 2020, a person dressed as the Hulk also vandalized the place and it was not until the following year that the Trump sign returned to Hollywood.
In addition to Trump, other celebrities who had their stars vandalized on the Hollywood sidewalk were:
- Michael Jackson;
- Olsen Sisters;
- Sharon Stone;
- Bill Cosby;
- Bob Marley
- Sofia Vergara;
- Mariah Carey;
- Harry Houdini.
