Scandal

A scandal is an event or action that causes public outrage or controversy due to perceived wrongdoing, immoral behavior, or violation of social norms. It often involves the exposure of unethical behavior, misconduct, or inappropriate actions by individuals or organizations, leading to negative public perception and criticism. Scandals can arise in various contexts, including politics, entertainment, business, and sports, and they frequently result in significant consequences for those involved, such as loss of reputation, legal repercussions, or professional fallout. The dissemination of information about a scandal, particularly through media channels, can amplify its impact and lead to widespread discussion and debate.
