But what happens when we peel back the layers and discover that these so-called “great” individuals were actually incredibly problematic? In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at some historical figures that will make you do a double-take. Get ready to have your illusions shattered and your sense of morality rocked. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Okay, so now we’re talking about Coco Chanel. The fashion icon that we all know and love, right? Well, apparently not so much. It turns out that during the war, she used her Nazi lovers to ensure her fashion house would thrive. I mean, I knew fashion could be cutthroat, but this is ridiculous.
But let’s not forget that Coco Chanel’s actions had serious consequences. She may have kept her business running, but at what cost? The fact that she willingly associated with the Nazi regime is not something that can be swept under the rug. In any case, it just goes to show you that even the most glamorous and stylish people have a darker side.
