Maybe the actors and writers who were falsely labelled communists by Ronald Reagan so he'd sabotage their careers.

Tevin Campbell, once hailed as the next Michael Jackson, was pretty much canceled after an undercover cop entrapped him to offer oral sex. He's only now making a slow comeback, decades later.
Charles Rocket? He got fired from SNL for say the F-Word when the show aired live. He sorta made a come back though as a character actor in a number of TV shows and movies. But when he was on SNL there was all this talk about how he was going to be the next Chevy Chase. But again...he was able to still have a career.

Possibly Lenny Bruce. But it was the authorities going after him rather than the public.
I thought of Paul Ruebens aka Pee Wee Herman ( arrested in an adult threatre for indecent exposure) but again although he laid low for a few years, his fans forgave him pretty quickly.
Maybe Johnny Depp because of all the drama with Amber Heard? He is starting to get some roles again but nothing major as before.
The Kardashians should be cancelled, but no such luck yet.
I don't know if this counts, but James Gunn being fired from Guardians 3. Though it was temporary, he never should have been fired in the first place as the tweets he posted were from years and years ago. Someone with a lot of time on their hands just got butthurt and did a lot of digging because Gunn didn't worship their idol(I think most people will know who I'm referring to here). I don't condone the tweets that Gunn made, but most people aren't the same person that they were ten years ago.
I think this is different from when it's currently on-going behavior from someone and when they're asked by their bosses to stop, they continue putting their foot in their mouth. Looking at you Gina Carano.
