The Most Iconic Ugly Cries in Pop Culture History
Unless you're Lauren Conrad, you are an ugly crier. If you've been living under a rock--or never watched an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians--"ugly crying" is when you're so upset that your face takes a mushy, demonic shape. Everyone has an ugly cry trigger--a sappy movie, an ex-boyfriend, losing a $75,000 earring. Well, that last one is specific to mirror pic maverick Kim Kardashian.
But she's not the only person in pop culture to gain notoriety for an ugly crying face. Dozens of celebrities--either IRL or in character--dabble in the art. And the results are, well, ugly. Here are 16 of the most disturbing sad faces in entertainment history.
