Line 210:
* In 2017 [[Steven Seagal]] was banned from entering Ukraine as "a national security threat" (in reality obviously as a tantrum over Seagal being granted Russian citizenship). [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/05/steven-seagal-banned-ukraine-branded-national-security-threat/ News article here].
* There is a persistent [[Urban Legend]] that, because of a commercial she made for Burger King in 1981 when she was five, [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] was sued by and then banned for life from [[McDonald's]]. She did make [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ss7_5PSnyA the commercial] and she ''was'' a part of a lawsuit filed by McDonald's against Burger King (she was even put on the stand to testify about the things she said in the commercial). But she was never banned -- although her parents apparently avoided McDonald's for a few years after the lawsuit.
* Hate group leader [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke#2009_arrest_in_the_Czech_Republic David Duke] is not allowed in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Initially, it was only Italy, having kicked him out for making Holocaust denial claims (a serious crime in most of Europe), but after he violated that order and was found living in Valle di Cadore, the rest of the European Union didn't want him there either.
