Has happened to me. I was a great fan of Graham Kerr, the TV chef as a kid. In fact, I credited him with one of the reasons I entered what would be the last class of Miss Farmer's School of Cooking in Boston. (the school closed in 1977)
Life went on and I went back to school and got a BSW, a MTS, and a M.Div and was ordained a minister. Then, I had to opportunity to meet my childhood idol at a book signing. And realized less than 10 minutes in that the man was an active alcoholic and a blowhard. And then he signed his book with a quote around MY weight (I am a big woman)... what an a**hole

Change, betrayal, abandonment, being forgotten...life, what a party.
From a seemingly funny nice guy, alcohol made him into an unkind, brain clogged dunce.
Sorry it hurt you!
Well, to be honest, I'm reminded of which son writes to his mother of all of his enjoyments....
Ouch!
