We pick the 10 pop culture moments that defined the year. Sorry in advance for reminding you of the ones you wish you missed.

“That body of yours is absurd.” With just six simple words, Adam Levine found himself the punchline of the internet.Despite building a career off being the wholesome Maroon 5 frontman, Levine learned the hard way that if you’re going to slide into a woman’s DMs, then you really should think about what you say. He was allegedly having an affair with Instagram model Sumner Stroh, who claimed his feelings for her were so intense he wanted to name his unborn child after her. Charming.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, a member of the popular YouTube trio The Try Guys, Ned Fulmer, gave it the full “hold my beer” treatment. Fulmer’s entire persona centred on being “The Wife Guy”, but that all came undone when he was spotted kissing producer Alex Herring in a New York bar.

It was the Slap that Rocked The Oscars, a moment in awards ceremony history that won’t ever be forgotten. The 94th Academy Awards were pretty boring up until the point host Chris Rock copped a public slapping from Will Smith. Smith took issue with a joke Rock made about his wife’s bald head , so he took matters into his own hands , striding on stage and slapping the comedian.

“Keep my wife’s name out of your f---ing mouth,” commanded Smith, while a shocked room of celebrities tried their best not to tweet. The moment instantly overshadowed the rest of the ceremony and triggered a debate around Smith’s behaviour. The Academy banned him from attending events for 10 years. Smith later apologised to Rock and the Academy, but the sting of that slap won’t soon fade.Johnny Depp and Amber Heard went through a protracted defamation lawsuit.
