The Voice scandals – Ryan Gallagher’s controversial exit
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Ryan Gallagher was kicked off the show for “breaking Covid-19 protocols.”
The classically trained singer was reportedly axed to keep the celebrity judges, crew, and fellow competitors safe.
Ryan “broke The Voice‘s strict Covid-19 protocols and therefore wasn’t allowed to continue in the competition out of concern for keeping the coaches, crew and fellow competitors safe,” a source told ET Online.
Michael Catalano, the singer’s personal manager, told People at the time nothing could be further from the truth.
“In fact, recently Ryan’s mother in Michigan was hospitalized with Covid 19 and was in ICU for three weeks. It was a scary time for Ryan and his family and he certainly would not knowingly put anyone at risk by not adhering to the show’s Covid 19 policy.”
The Voice scandals – Christina Aguilera’s departure
Christina Aguilera was a member of the original judges and coached the show from 2011 to 2016.
But in 2018, Christina bashed the reality show in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“It became something that I didn’t feel was what I had signed up for in season one,” she said. “You realize it’s not about music. It’s about making good TV moments and massaging a story.
“I didn’t get into this business to be a television show host and to be given all these [rules],” she continued. “Especially as a female: You can’t wear this, can’t say that. I would find myself on that show desperately trying to express myself through clothing or makeup or hair. It was my only kind of outlet.”
Christina confessed the only reason she even stayed with the show was that she was comfortable and for the sake of her kids.
The Voice scandals – CeeLo Green’s allegations
CeeLo Green appeared on four seasons of the show, from 2011 to 2013, and was a member of the original coaches.
But in 2012, the singer faced date-rape allegations after a 33-year-old woman, who said she woke up naked in his bed, accused him of putting drugs in her drink.
Two years later, CeeLo pleaded no contest to one felony count of furnishing ecstasy and was sentenced to three years of formal probation.
When NBC announced his return in 2018 as a mentor for Adam Levine’s team, people on social media were quick to point out his problematic past.
One viewer tweeted: “On what planet would anyone be excited to see CeeLo Green? Bad move, NBC.”
The Voice scandals – Blake and Adam’s rumored feud
Blake Shelton and Adam Levine were original coaches on The Voice and their on-screen feud was a staple of the show.
Fans speculated their rivalry transcended off-screen after Adam wasn’t invited to Blake and Gwen’s wedding.
A source told Radar: “Adam had no idea when Gwen and Blake were going to get married.
“Adam wasn’t invited to the wedding and was not given the heads up despite the fact that Blake and Adam used to be as close as brothers when they were both on The Voice together.”
Other members of the show were in attendance and host Carson Daly even officiated Gwen and Blake’s nuptials.
The Voice scandals – Blake and Gwen’s relationship
Perhaps the show’s biggest scandal actually resulted in a happy ending.
Creating the ultimate conflict of interest, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton shocked the world after they began dating in 2015.
At the time, each of them was in a respective relationship; however, those separate relationships ended in divorce, enabling the two to date each other.
After five years of dating, Blake proposed to Gwen on October 27, 2020, while in Oklahoma.
Blake shared on social media: “Hey Gwen, thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!”
Less than a year later, on July 3, 2021, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at his Oklahoma ranch.
