There has been no shortage of scandals this year. Individuals, companies, and governments were involved in a range of controversies related to what they said and did.<\/span><\/p>\n

24\/7 Wall St. reviewed news stories of the last 12 months to identify the top 24 scandals of 2022. We placed a particular emphasis on celebrities, sports, politics, and corporate scandals, listing them in no particular order.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are more political scandals on the list than any other type. Politicians from across the political spectrum were involved in controversies and scandals, as were political institutions. A landmark Supreme Court decision regarding abortion rights was leaked. The FBI, meanwhile, conducted a search of former President Donald Trump residence at Mar-a-Lago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the world of sports – crossing over to the world of politics – there have been questions and allegations of foul play ever since Qatar won its bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Since then, other controversies surfaced, specifically human rights abuses regarding conditions of migrant workers who built the stadiums for the events and LGBTQ rights. (These are<\/span> the most disliked leaders in the world<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple celebrities were also involved in scandals, often through comments they made or actions they took. Some, like Will Smith, apologized, while others, like Kanye West, have yet to express any regret.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several corporations got in hot water for business decisions they made. Cryptocurrency trading platform FTX suddenly collapsed with allegations of fraud and ongoing investigations. Fashion house Balenciaga managed to very rapidly torpedo its brand with a horrendous ad campaign. Elon Musk\u2019s purchase of Twitter has been chaotic, and no one is quite sure what is next for the platform. (<\/span>Scandals that cost companies billions in fines<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

There have also been several scandals related to COVID-19 restrictions and pandemic financial aid, in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Athletes, too, found themselves in the spotlight. Some were sports related, like star football player Antonio Brown\u2019s dramatic exit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (yes, that was this year), while others, like WNBA superstar Brittney Griner\u2019s arrest in Russia and Tom Brady\u2019s marital problems, less so.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of these stories have been constantly discussed in the media and beyond, for better or worse.<\/span><\/p>\n
