* As with [[Artist Disillusionment]], this is a plot line in ''[[Megatokyo]]''. It's suggested that not-entirely-inaccurate rumours of Erika's violent nature affected her image badly, a jarring contrast to her [[Genki Girl]] voice-actress persona. However, apparently it didn't do enough damage to keep her more obsessive fans away.

** A [http://somethingpositive.net/sp03132005.shtml storyline] about Mike's Fan Disillusionment upon learning that his favourite sci-fi author disagreed with him on gay rights.

* Disney's ''[[Fillmore!]]'' had an episode resolution dedicated to this. {{spoiler|The fangirl discovered her favorite author had completely derailed her own book series, and upon meeting the author herself, found her to be an impatient, cynical woman who did not consider the books, the plot, the fans, or the characters worth such devotion or attention}}. Interestingly, the episode ended in a rather positive note for fans with the girl declaring that a book was a promise to the fans, and the author broke it.
** Lampshaded when O'Farrell, who over the course of the episode becomes a fan of the aforementioned series, says at the end of the episode, "I didn't even get a chance to become disillusioned."
