21. Jamie Oliver
Jamie makes the list more than once today, as the TV chef sensation has never shied away from off-camera controversies. In 2008, he was filmed talking about how terrible it was for chickens that were raised in poor conditions to be sold to consumers. He called for a boycott of certain stores, especially those dependent on factory farming. Did her forget that he was the face of one of these chains?
Jamie was part of a lucrative deal with Sainsbury’s, which at the time issued a statement saying that his comments were not going to change the way they did business. Further pressure from other animal welfare groups would later lead them to backpedal, and Oliver thought he was instrumental in making it happen after all. Figures!
