People Are Sharing The Professions They Think Are Undeniably Evil, And Well, If The Shoe Fits…
According to the internet, some jobs are "undeniably evil."
In one Reddit thread that poses the question, people shared their opinions on what the most immoral or corrupt jobs are, and I'm curious about what you think of these.
Ahead, I've rounded up 23 different answers.
1."Tobacco lobbyist. They lied back in the day, saying there was no proof it was bad, they used their power to block regulation, and they keep lying to this day. They've killed an immense number of people all for a paycheck."
–HemingtonWay
2."Online gurus who lure in people to believe in get-rich-quick schemes."

7."Gambling and crypto influencers that also aim their content at kids."
–No_Money_Guys
8."Those engineers at TikTok and Google who maximize children's addictions to their apps."

14."Trophy hunters."
–ohmygodcrayons
15."Union-busting consultant."
–Cadet395

21.And finally, "I don't think there's a profession that's inherently evil, at least not a legal one, but there are certainly professions that attract a lot of inherently evil people. Police, politicians, lawyers, stock brokers, and priests, just to name a few."

Rapper Silentó Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison for Cousin's Shooting Death
The rapper Silentó, who scored a major hit with his 2015 single 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)' — and the two dance crazes it combined — has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for charges related to the shooting death of his cousin, Frederick Rooks. Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on Wednesday, June 11, Silentó, born Ricky Lamar Hawk, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to voluntary manslaughter stemming from the January 2021 killing. Police found Rooks' body abandoned on a road outside a home near the Atlanta-area community of Panthersville. Though Hawk was originally charged with malice murder, a felony murder charge was dropped as a part of his plea deal. Hawk also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and concealing the death of another. More from Rolling Stone 'How Much Does My Body Cost?': Sean Combs' Ex Faces Fiery Cross-Examination De La Soul Dig Into Their Long Island Roots in 'The Sixth Borough' Doc Clip Lil Durk Denied Bail Again in Murder-for-Hire Case While Rooks' siblings reportedly were underwhelmed with the sentence at the hearing, another expressed mutual sympathy. 'I'm sorry for both sides,' they told DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Courtney L. Johnson, according to the AJC. Hawk was a teenager when 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)' took the internet and world by storm. It became popular on the now defunct micro-video app Vine, a predecessor of sorts to TikTok. The song hit Number Three on the Billboard Hot 100 and its music video has earned nearly 2 billion YouTube streams. However, over the years, Hawk and a representative have attested to the rapper's mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma. In 2021, former publicist Chanel Hudson told the AJC that the rapper had attempted suicide the year prior. Later, he faced multiple arrests, including two in California for domestic violence and gun charges.

Gen Z MAGA Influencer Claims He Got ICE to Detain TikTok Star Khaby Lame
Bo Loudon, a Trump-supporting Gen Z influencer, has taken credit for TikTok star Khaby Lame's detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE on June 6. That day, Loudon, 18, who has called Donald Trump's son Barron his 'best friend,' began a series of posts on X claiming he initiated Lame's detainment. 'I discovered he was an illegal who overstayed an invalid VISA, evaded taxes, and I personally took action to have him deported,' Loudon alleged. Later, he added, 'I've been working with the patriots at President Trump's DHS to make this happen.' In a video posted on Monday, while making more unsubstantiated claims about Lame, Loudon said, 'I just called some buddies in the administration, and I've never seen anything happen so quick. They were like, 'We're gonna get right on this.'' More from Rolling Stone Masked ICE Agents Detain 9-Month-Pregnant U.S. Citizen in L.A. Crackdown Noem Asked for Troops to Be Authorized to Arrest 'Lawbreakers': Report Most-Followed TikToker Khaby Lame Detained, Released by ICE Over Visa Issue Lame, 25, is the most-followed TikToker in the world, known for his silently comedic videos skewering social media trends. Though Loudon alleged Lame is 'far-left,' Lame is not known for any political activity. The star was detained at Harry Reid International Airport, in Las Vegas, Nevada 'for immigration violations,' according to an ICE spokesperson's statement. 'Lame entered the United States [on] April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa,' the spokesperson said. ICE has also said Lame was granted voluntary departure the day he was detained and has since left the U.S. On June 9, the influencer shared a photo of himself in São Paulo, Brazil. He has not publicly addressed his detainment. A rep for Lame declined to comment on the detainment, and did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment on Loudon's claims. Born Seringe Khabane Lame in Sengal, Lame is an Italian citizen and has been a resident of the country since he was one, according to NPR. Lame attended the Met Gala in New York City on May 5, alongside some of the world's most high-profile entertainers. A rep for ICE told Rolling Stone 'We have no further information to provide,' when asked to expand on Loudon's alleged involvement in Lame's detainment as well as the nature and duration of Lame's visa. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return our request for comment. Loudon has frequently posited himself a playmaker in the President's world, calling himself, 'Trump's young gun.' He was on site for Trump's mid-campaign interview with controversial streamer Adin Ross in 2024, with his mother, conservative media personality, Gina Loudon, later calling the linkup her son's 'brainchild.' His father is former Missouri state senator John Loudon. June 11, 2:55 p.m.: This story has been updated to include ICE's comment.

ICE says it detained TikTok star Khaby Lame and told him to leave the U.S.
U.S. immigration officials said they detained Khaby Lame, one of the world's most popular TikTok personalities, last week and told him to leave the country after they said he 'overstayed the terms of his visa.' The Italian Senegalese creator, whose real name is Seringe Khabane Lame, entered the U.S. on April 30, according to a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was granted 'voluntary departure' on Friday after he was detained by agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Lame did not respond to NBC News' requests for comment. He has not publicly commented on the reported detainment and subsequent departure. Lame has continued to post on social media in the days since he reportedly left the U.S. His most recent Instagram story appears to have been posted from Brazil. Sharks Celebrities Mgmt., which is among the listed agency representatives for the creator, claimed the ICE report is 'fake news,' telling NBC News in an email that Lame 'did not visit the USA this month to begin with.' They said the 'the name mentioned is not his birth name.' It's unclear when Lame was last in the U.S., but he did attend the Met Gala in May. Lame has 162.2 million followers on TikTok, where he grew a massive following during the pandemic after being laid off from a factory job in Italy. The 25-year-old, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the humanitarian aid organization UNICEF, is known for his comedic videos that often use the hashtag, 'learnfromkhaby.' The news comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration in the U.S., including efforts to detain travelers arriving at the border, including airports. In recent months, social media users have recounted their interactions with immigration officials and shared their fears about traveling back to the U.S. during a period of heightened vigilance at U.S. entry points and borders. Lame is one of the more high-profile people to date to be detained. Last month, Hasan Piker, one of the top political pundits on Twitch, said he was stopped and questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport after a trip to France. The Turkish American streamer, who is vocal on a number of political and social issues, said he was asked about his views, including whether he supports President Donald Trump. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said at the time that 'claims that his political beliefs triggered the inspection are baseless.' Immigration raids have also ramped up across the U.S., including in Los Angeles, where protests have continued for days as demonstrators push back on the Trump administration's aggressive roundup efforts.
