Robin Thicke's career and marriage fell apart, in part, because of this photo:

In 2013 Robin was on top of the world. After spending more than 20 years in the music industry, he finally made it big with his song 'Blurred Lines', which sold more than 14.8 million copies worldwide and his relationship with his wife, Paula Patton, and his son seemed to be as strong as ever.
But with fame, your secrets get exposed, and people started to see that your behavior was inappropriate at times, and when that picture was posted it went viral. Women began accusing him of sexual harassment and he (along with Pharrell Williams) was sued for plagiarism for 'Blurred Lines' and was forced to pay $5.3 million, plus royalties, to the estate of Marvin Gaye who wrote the song he plagiarized. ('Got to Give It Up'). That along with his behavior was enough to "bring him down".
Paula, who had been with him since 1993, divorced him after this, and he tried to win her back by releasing an album called 'Paula' full of songs professing his love for her and asking her to forgive him which had an impact. much lower than expected.

In 2021, Emily Ratajkowski accused him of grabbing her breasts without consent on the set of 'Blurred Lines' and that was the nail in her coffin. His career will likely never recover from this and he proves that if you live your life being a jerk to others, your quest for fame will be the end of you.
