What Happened To ‘Seinfeld’ Star Michael Richards After His Controversial Downfall?

Michael Richards played Cosmos Kramer, the quirky and unpredictable next-door neighbor who brought both laughter and frustration to Jerry Seinfeld’s life in the TV series Seinfeld, which earned the actor three Primetime Emmy Awards for his brilliant performance in the series.

However, unlike most of his fellow cast members who found success in their careers after their time on the sitcom, Richards faced a significant career setback that made him withdraw from the spotlight. Recently, the 74-year-old made a rare appearance alongside his family after almost two decades.

Michael Richard’s career was destroyed due to his use of racially offensive words.

Richard’s career took a significant hit in 2006 due to a highly publicized incident. During a stand-up comedy performance at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, the funnyman used racial slurs and engaged in a racially offensive tirade in response to hecklers in the audience. The incident was captured on video and widely circulated, causing public outrage and backlash.

Although the 74-year-old later made public apologies and appeared on various talk shows to express remorse for his actions, the damage to his career was significant and irreparable.
