History PersonaNonGrata / RealLife

** Popular Internet personality Creator/{{KSI}} was banned from all Eurogamer (today Gamer Network, with Eurogamer being their flagship brand) events for life after the 2012 Eurogamer Expo (now known as EGX) when he posted a Website/YouTube video of him interviewing several female fans where he asked them questions that the show's organisers deemed inappropriate. Creator/{{Microsoft}}, who he had a promotional partnership with at the time, also severed ties with him. Unlike most examples though, this incident never became a RoleEndingMisdemeanor for him and ultimately became a minor setback to his then-rising career, considering that he would co-found the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} the following year, bringing him even more fame years down the line.

* Following numerous defamation cases from families of mass shooting victims and complaints from concerned groups, radio host and {{conspiracy theorist}} Alex Jones was permanently banished from mainstream social media outlets and websites such as Website/{{Facebook}}, Creator/{{Apple}}, Website/YouTube, Spotify, Periscope, Roku and Website/{{Twitter}}, largely for promoting hate speech and inciting violence against people of other faiths and ethnicities. [=PayPal=] followed suit, and the official [=InfoWars=] mobile apps were removed from the Apple App Store; the Android client remained on the Google Play Store for a time until it was finally taken down by Google on March 2020 due to misinformation circulated by Jones relating to the UsefulNotes/COVID19 pandemic.

* Following the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, mainstream social media platforms have suspended Trump from posting after he made incendiary and seditious statements condoning the attacks carried out by his supporters and calling the supporters to "fight like hell" for Republicans to "take back our country". Twitter initially locked his account for twelve hours immediately after the incident, and later banned him indefinitely from using their services citing "repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy". Several other platforms whom Trump has a presence on, including Snapchat, Shopify, Website/YouTube and Facebook and its platforms, including Instagram, followed suit, with Mark Zuckerberg stating, "The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor." Some companies, including the PGA and Deutsche Bank, also severed all business ties with him after the riot. However, on November 19th, 2022, Trump was allowed back on Twitter after Elon Musk bought the company.

* Creator/RichardGere is banned from China, probably because he's openly against China's occupation of Tibet.

** Following his highly publicized RoleEndingMisdemeanor following the Me Too movement, ''Creator/VicMignogna'' has been blacklisted from numerous conventions both before and after his lawsuit against fellow ''Creator/{{Funimation}}'' actors resulted in his humiliating 0-17 count loss being added to the state of Texas's judiciary records to be cited as precedent in future cases. Among the Midwest convention circuit alone, Anime Detour, Kitsune Kon, Anime Milwaukee, Anime Central, No Brand Con, and Anime Iowa won't invite him as a guest on principle, nor is he allowed on the premises.

* In the world of {{Pinball}}, Kevin Kulek of Skit-B Pinball attempted to sell ''Film/{{Predator}}''-themed pinball machines without permission from Creator/{{Fox}}. When buyers and other pinball fans discovered this and called him out, Kulek was completely unapologetic about it. He [[BlatantLies played naive]] about everything. Combined with his reputation as a BadBoss by employees -- [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere all of which who walked out due to disagreements prior to the revelation]], leaving Kulek the only person remaining in his company -- the result was pinball manufacturers agreeing to never hire Kulek, along with pinball shows and conventions refusing to bring Kulek as a guest. Given that there's a lawsuit pending comprised of those who lost money from the ''Predator'' project, his life in pinball is most likely over.

** After executive producer Fred De Cordova made a rather inappropriate "wrap it up" gesture at Carson (off-stage) while the host was running long on his remarks about the death of his son in a 1991 monologue, Carson banned De Cordova from the set for the rest of the show's run.

* In the late 80s and early 90s, various members of Music/XJapan (and occasionally the entire band) were banned from various restaurants, hotels, bars, and drinking establishments around Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan, due to the band's tendencies to start [[BarBrawl fights]]. Some bars even had "No Yoshiki" or [[VisualKei "No Blondes"]] (since Yoshiki and other VK rockers that tended to cause trouble often had blonde hair) signs, and the band still holds the record for most damage done to a Japanese hotel. [[KungShui Not just the room -- the entire hotel.]]

* Music/RogerWaters got booted in 2022 from the city of Kraków in Poland along with having two April 2023 concerts cancelled by authorities after he shamelessly victim-blamed Ukraine for provoking the 2022 Russian invasion. Waters intended to have his concerts held in other Polish cities anyway, but no local promoting agency wanted to have anything to do with someone so blatantly pro-Russian (especially in the wake of many Russian war crimes being revealed).

* The Music/InsaneClownPosse has earned its share of blackballs, not because of the band itself or its inflammatory lyrics, but rather the extreme rowdiness of their "{{Juggalo}}" fan following, which the [=FBI=] once went as far as to declare them as a gang. The 2014 "Gathering of the Juggalos" needed three tries to find a venue that was willing to deal with the complaints of their outraged neighbors. Shows involving ICP or other acts with similarly large Juggalo followings are notoriously hated by venues in the live music world; while they do draw well, they have a reputation for unruly, unhygienic crowds who are prone to vandalism, fighting, attempting to sneak in banned items, and displays of public lewdness, and the Faygo showers that are a major part of ICP's live shows create unholy messes that are a nightmare to clean up.

** Some conventions have the "peanut butter and jelly" rule: nothing allowed in the masquerade that will make a mess of the stage or other contestant's costumes. This is traced back to a gentleman who entered a convention masquerade as indy comic book character "The Turd", by covering himself with chunky peanut butter. The body-temperature peanut butter began releasing peanut oil, permanently staining at least two other costumes and the hotel wallpaper ... and then there was the plumbing issues when he tried washing it off. There are unsubstantiated stories that the con found itself banned from that hotel afterwards. [[note]]Jelly was added to the rule after a "zombie" decided stage blood tasted bad and strawberry jam tasted good, so substituted the second for the first. Though splashing stage blood around backstage would have created just as many issues as the jam did.[[/note]]

* Tony Moran, who played the unmasked Michael Myers in ''Film/Halloween1978'' made several insults to his coworkers that resurfaced online in April 2021. These included mocking Creator/JohnCarpenter's relationship with Debra Hill and claiming Creator/JamieLeeCurtis slept around with the crew. He also mocked fellow Michael Myers actors Tyler Mane and James Jude Courtney and made homophobic slurs towards them. As a result, he was banned from the 2023 ''Halloween: 45 Years of Terror'' convention.

* The works of Hong Kong-Taiwanese RhythmGame musician Music/{{Ice|loki}} are banned in Chinese-made rhythm games and Chinese localizations of foreign rhythm games due to him producing a song with a hidden "Free UsefulNotes/HongKong" message.

** Music/{{GWAR}} was at one time banned from the state of North Carolina, for certain... elements of their costuming.

** The American Physical Society, a professional association of physicists, was allegedly prohibited from holding its annual meeting in Las Vegas after a 1986 conference at the MGM Grand led to a financial loss for the hotel - not because anyone was counting cards, but simply because very few of the physicists gambled. The society did eventually return to Las Vegas in 2023.

* The government of UsefulNotes/{{Azerbaijan}} has compiled a blacklist of people, mainly foreign politicians, ambassadors, and even famous entertainers, who are no longer allowed entry into the country because they visited UsefulNotes/NagornoKarabakh, a breakaway, ''de facto'' country that seceded from Azerbaijan with the fall of the Soviet Union with plans of joining UsefulNotes/{{Armenia}}, but that Azerbaijan claims should be and is still part of Azerbaijan.

* The Bullingdon Club is a [[BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats secret society]] in Britain that's made up mostly of [[{{UsefulNotes/Oxbridge}} Oxford]] {{Upper Class Twit}}s, and it's been banned from nearly every bar and restaurant in Britain. They get around these bans by their habit of booking function rooms through a shell corporation and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney writing cheques for the cost of repairing the venue]] as they stagger away from the wreckage. The Club is also notable for including nearly every notable male [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem Tory Oxonian]] since the late 19th century, including UsefulNotes/DavidCameron and UsefulNotes/BorisJohnson, as well as Kings [[UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfWindsor Edward VII and Edward VIII]].[[note]]For the record, George VI did not attend university, having gone straight into the Navy and stuck with it until he became King, and UsefulNotes/CharlesIII went to Cambridge (with one term spent at the Aberystywyth campus of the University of Wales to learn Welsh in advance of his formal investiture as Prince of Wales). As for the next generation, Prince William went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland.[[/note]]

* When a spy given No Official Cover is caught, he or she can expect very serious consequences including execution or very long prison sentences. However, a spy who has an official diplomatic cover, cannot be prosecuted due to DiplomaticImmunity. They are therefore declared PNG, deported and banned from that country for life.

* Kazuhiko ‘Smokey’ Nagata of the Japanese car tuning shop [[NonIndicativeName Top Secret]] was invited by British automotive "lad mag" ''Max Power'' to bring his Nissan [=RB26=]-powered Toyota Supra to a car show in the UK. Seeking to leave a mark in the industry, Smokey performed an insane speed record stunt at an A1 highway, hitting a then-record breaking 197 miles per hour (317 kph). The local police were none too pleased about it, and Nagata was arrested for his antics (not helping matters was his lack of English skills). He was banned from entering the UK for a good decade soon after, but his stunt only served to made him a [[RefugeInAudacity legend]] in the car tuning scene.

** The runner Mekarazium was permanently banned from ever appearing at GDQ events again after taking advantage of his performing remotely to attempt to pass off a precorded, spliced run of the Bladewolf DLC for ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' as a live playthrough during AGDQ 2022.

** Music/TheWorldInfernoFriendshipSociety is banned from the Cha-Cha's club in Coney Island, New York, after what happened at [[NoodleIncident that one show in 2007]].[[note]] Supposedly Cha-Cha's even calls other venues the band is playing at to try and warn the owners to cancel the show.[[/note]] Prior to 2003 the band was also banned from a few venues that they'd [[ImpressivePyrotechnics set on fire]].

* The government of UsefulNotes/{{Azerbaijan}} has compiled a blacklist of people, mainly foreign politicians, ambassadors, and even famous entertainers, who are no longer allowed entry into the country because they visited UsefulNotes/NagornoKarabakh, a breakaway, ''de facto'' country that seceded from Azerbaijan with the fall of the Soviet Union, but that internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan.

* [[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/leonard-f-shaner-jr.9940/ Len Shaner]] is banned from pretty much every location in Kutztown, PA, due to constant trespassing on numerous railroads. Even to this day, it isn't entirely clear what earned him the ban.
