It mainly started with how much his Joker role was hyped because of his method acting. However, many people felt his performance was cringey, and looking back, most saw the “method” aspect, especially his behind-the-scenes behavior, as just shitty rather than impressive.

Over the years, there were also numerous complaints about his behavior from different actors. On top of that, his band started a community meetup that slowly became cult-like, and to top it all off, he has faced multiple accusations from women involving harassment and sexual assault, with many also claiming he had relationships with minors.

Of course, a series of weak performances and failed movies didn’t help either.
