Many celebrities are known for their wild lifestyle, and some never sober up even when they become parents.

Some have no sense of responsibility and see no problem to continue partying and doing drugs, leaving their offspring in charge of the nanny. Let’s have a look at some of the worst parents in showbiz.

10 /10 Woody Allen

The celebrated director has little competition for the number one spot on this list. You’d think it cannot get any worse than marrying your step-daughter, Soon-Ye Previn, who is 35 years younger than Woody Allen, but you’d be wrong.

The director has also been accused of sexually abusing his very own children and, even if those charges never made it to court, the allegations are quite disturbing.

9 /10 Joe Jackson

The man behind the famous Jackson Five is no saint. Yes, many of his children achieved stardom, but Joe Jackson has continuously been described as a terrible father who routinely abused his kids physically and mentally.

He never denied the allegations, and, as he confessed on Oprah’s show, he doesn’t regret a thing.

8 /10 Michael Jackson

With a father like Joe, no wonder Michael Jackson turned out so twisted. Citing privacy concerns, he raised his children as virtual recluses, and one can only hope they never got to witness some of the things that happened at the Neverland ranch.

The late King of Pop shocked the world when he presented his youngest kid, Prince Michael II, with a blanket wrapped around his head and dangling over the edge of the balcony.

7 /10 Kris Jenner

As she’s known, the Mom-ager is mainly responsible for transforming the Kardashian clan into a profitable business venture.

Still, some of her actions are questionable. Kris Jenner is believed to be the one who released the infamous Kim Kardashian sex tape to the public.

Sure, the Kardashians made more money after that, but what sort of mother exposes a very intimate moment in her daughter’s life for public entertainment?

6 /10 Courtney Love

Love has been accused of doing heroin while pregnant with Frances, the daughter she had with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

Following Cobain’s tragic death, Courtney Love did not stop for one minute to consider her responsibilities and went on partying hard and doing drugs.

It was only after she overdosed on Oxy that she lost custody of her daughter. No wonder the relationship between the two is fraught with difficulties even now when Frances is a grown-up woman.

5 /10 Kim Basinger

The famous actress committed one of the biggest sins a parent can be guilty of, using her child to get back to Alec Baldwin.

It was Basinger who released the infamous tape where Baldwin can be heard launching a barrage of profanities against his daughter, who was only 11 at the time—ever considered your daughter’s feelings, lady?

4 /10 Alec Baldwin

Just because his ex-wife did a bad thing does not excuse the charming Alec Baldwin in any way.

Those who have listened to the offensive message were appalled to hear Baldwin call his daughter a ‘thoughtless little pig’ and promise he’ll straighten her ass next time they see each other.

At the same time, you don’t tell a child her mother is a ‘thoughtless pain in the ass,’ no matter how mad you are.

Adults should know better than to vent their fury at each other in front of a child who’s already messed by their parents’ divorce.

3 /10 Hulk Hogan

What Hogan did is pretty messed up. Adultery is pretty common in showbiz, but having an affair with your daughter’s best friend? What was he thinking? What followed is just as bad.

When Hogan’s matter came to light, his wife Linda filed for divorce. That was to be expected, but the two had the foolish idea of using their 17-year old son as a mediator?

he kid was pretty messed up by the traumatic experience of being used as a go-between in an acrimonious divorce.

2 /10 Whitney Houston And Bobbi Brown

Having a bad parent is challenging enough, but when both are notorious drug addicts and endless fights mar family life, they will pay a high price.

When the famous couple’s daughter, Bobbi Christina, died of a fatal overdose in 2015, no one was surprised.

The girl grew up in a house where her parents did drugs together; Bobbi Brown didn’t use Whitney as a punching bag.

1 /10 Britney Spears

Seeing that she has major mental issues, Britney Spears might be excused, at least partly, for her appalling behavior as a mother. Still, one cannot forget the many incidents when she put her children’s lives at risk.

Dropping a kid on his head could be an accident, but driving around with her son in her lap that’s downright irresponsible.

One might say that her losing custody of her kids was a good thing, but their father, rapper K-Fed isn’t much better.
