Slow Dancing In A Burning Room: Who Are The Most Toxic Celebrities Of 2022?
Hello, and welcome to Gossipment’s very first gossip sess of 2023, I am only going to talk about one thing – the most toxic celebrities of 2022! YASSSS, while most netizens collectively canceled Amber Heard and Meghan Markle, I am here to give you the tea on all the other red flags disguised as celebrities – after all, I can’t sit here broke, watching two celebrities steal the show!
What about the others – if we are going to cancel two celebs, then we might as well cancel all the toxic ones. But before we start canceling people, do you remember Mayer sang a song called Slow Dancing in a Burning Room more than a decade ago? Yes, can you please play that one in the background while I give you the tea on toxicity?
Thanks!

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room: What’s The Context?
While the slow dancing in a burning room guitar chords have been popular for a long time, you might just be wondering, why mention the song at all while talking about the most hated celebrities in 2022?
If you have ever paid some attention to the slow dancing in a burning room lyrics then you must have noticed the song spells out one thing and one thing only – coming out of a toxic relationship! Although I am not going to talk about toxic couples…yet but as pop culture connoisseurs, aren’t we all in some sort of a relationship with these celebrities?
Of course! While Mayer is talking about the toxic angles of his romantic relationship, I am going to talk about the toxic celebs we need to break up with right now #sorrynotsorry
But before we start, check out the lyrics for yourself,
It’s not a silly little moment
It’s not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we’ve been working on
Can’t seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody’s going to come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
[Chorus]We’re going down
And you can see it, too
We’re going down
And you know that we’re doomed
My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room
[Verse 2]I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it’s nothing to me?
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw
I’ll make the most of all the sadness
You’ll be a bitch, because you can
You try to hit me, just to hurt me,
So you leave me feeling dirty
‘Cause you can’t understand
[Chorus]We’re going down
And you can see it, too
We’re going down
And you know that we’re doomed
My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room
[Bridge]Go cry about it, why don’t you?
Go cry about it, why don’t you?
Go cry about it, why don’t you?
[Chorus]My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room
Burning room
Burning room
Burning room
Burning room
[Outro]Don’t you think we ought to know by now?
Don’t you think we should have learned somehow?
Don’t you think we ought to know by now?
Don’t you think we should have learned somehow?
Don’t you think we ought to know by now?
Don’t you think we should have learned somehow?
Slow Dancing In A Burning Room: Who Are The Most Toxic Celebrities Of 2022?
Now that the John Mayer slow dancing in a burning room show is over let’s find out more about the most toxic celebrities of 2022!
1. Chris Noth
And just like that, it’s REALLY over for Chris Noth, A.K.A Mr.Big. The 67-year-old actor was accused of sexual assault by not one but THREE women. Not just the Sex And The City fandom, but some ad projects and even the movie, The Equalizer, have all bid their goodbyes to Mr. Big.
2. Chrissy Teigen
Yes, yes, she is the queen of Twitter and Instagram(?) ended up losing some crazy deals with big names like Macy’s, Target, and Bloomingdale’s when some of her tweets from 2011 came into light in early 2022. Apparently, 16-year-old Teigen had cyberbullied television personality Courtney Stodden for her marriage to 50-year-old Doug Hutchison. She even DM-ed Stodden.
3. Will Smith
And that was the strangest Oscars! Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars in March 2022 after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, specifically her shaved head. Smith did apologize to the other nominees seven minutes later while collecting the Best Actor award and resigned from the Academy while the Academy banned the King Richard actor for 10 years!
4. Ellen DeGeneres
The Ellen DeGeneres show ended in 2022 after this Buzzfeed article came out in July 2020 – apparently, the show had a very toxic workplace. There were even allegations of sexual misconduct against the popular 63-year-old host. Ellen said she wanted to look for something new – but #ifyouknowyouknow!
5. J.K. Rowling
The world perhaps canceled J.K. Rowling years ago after her questionable transphobic comments on Twitter, but the Harry Potter reunion was the final cancellation nail on her career’s most celebrated achievements – HBO did not invite Rowling to the 20th anniversary of the franchise she created. God, 2022 did set HIGH cancellation standards!
6. Justin Timberlake
Before the whole #FreeBritney went viral and Britney was finally free in November 202, Spears celebrated another victory in early 2022 when Framing Britney Spears, a documentary, came under the spotlight. It showed how Justin Timberlake unfairly tarnished Spears’s reputation – remember the music video of Cry Me a River, where Spears was accused of cheating!
7. DaBaby
Another ‘artist’ canceled for honestly saying things that did give him what he deserved. In July, the 30-year-old artist made some really weird homophobic slurs at the Rolling Loud Festival. After this incident, the rapper was subtly dropped from different line-ups and music festivals even his credits from Dua Lipa’s Levitating were removed.
8. Marilyn Manson
Yet another celeb accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault. Yes, you read that right, Marilyn Manson, whose actual name is Brian Hugh Warner, had made some strange comments related to ‘keeping his partners locked up in a “bad girls’ room.”’ Later different recordings of various women, including his former partner, Evan Rachel Wood, also released that confirmed the accusations.
And It’s A Wrap!
So that’s a wrap on Slow Dancing in a Burning Room – definitely not on the song since it has that evergreen kinda vibe. But it’s definitely over for all the toxic red flags of 2022. It is the era of cancellations, and once you are canceled for saying something questionable, it’s so difficult to go back – so tell us what you think!
