Scandal

A scandal is an event or action that causes public outrage or controversy, often involving a breach of morality or ethics. It typically arises when individuals or organizations act in a manner judged to be socially unacceptable or when their behavior is exposed to the public, leading to negative reactions. Scandals can involve political figures, celebrities, businesses, or institutions and often have significant repercussions, such as loss of reputation, legal consequences, or shifts in public opinion. The nature of a scandal can vary widely, encompassing issues like corruption, misconduct, deception, or any behavior that shocks or offends societal norms.
