Line 78:
* [[Charlie Sheen]]'s first episode on ''[[Spin City]]'' showed that his character [[The Danza|Charlie Crawford]] has had many social issues in the past, including wild womanizing and drugs. At the end of the episode he very publically apologized to a past fling explaining that he has entire weeks he doesn't remember, one where he ended up in a tour bus with a bunch of groupies "And I wasn't even in a band!"
** Sheen's more recent issues makes this a very cyclical ordeal.

* Toby Gard - the mastermind behind ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' who also designed anti-heroine Lara Croft - originally claimed Croft was a caricature of his sister, Francis. He changed his mind about this two decades later (after a lot of fans started to view Croft in [[Rule 34| ways he had never intended]]) instead claiming Croft was inspired by ''[[Tank Girl]]'' and singer Neneh Cherry. However, he kind of contradicted this statement by saying how sore he was about the industry "prostituting" his own sister. Clearly, this sounded better to him than admitting he had been portraying his own sister as an over-sexualized [[Ms. Fanservice]] for 20 years.
