As unlikely as it may seem, some celebrities have managed to regain public's trust and maintain their careers in the industry after facing backlash over their controversial remarks or behaviors.

AceShowbiz - Morgan Wallen was a rising star in country music when his reputation was tarnished in a night. In early 2021, he was filmed using racial slur after a night out with his friends in Nashville. He immediately apologized for it, saying he was "embarrassed and sorry." He added, "I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better." Still, his music was temporarily pulled from radio stations and streamers, while he was banned from awards shows.
Despite the controversy and ensuing backlash, Wallen's music remained popular, with his album "Dangerous: The Double Album" sales surging after the incident, eventually becoming 2021's best-selling album. After vowing not to return to stage throughout the summer following the N-word scandal, he announced in November that he would embark on "The Dangerous Tour", which kicked off in February of this year. He has since also returned to awards shows, though his appearances were met with criticism.
