Scandal

A scandal is a widely publicized incident or event involving actions or behaviors that are considered immoral, illegal, or socially unacceptable, often provoking outrage, shock, or disapproval from the public or specific groups. Scandals typically involve a breach of trust or ethics, affecting individuals, organizations, or societies. They can arise in various contexts, including politics, business, entertainment, and sports, and often lead to significant consequences such as loss of reputation, legal repercussions, or changes in leadership. The sensational nature of scandals often leads to extensive media coverage and public discourse, making them a focal point of societal interest.
