Charlie Chaplin faced numerous unfounded rumors and allegations throughout his career. One prominent lie suggested that he was of Jewish descent, which was used to fuel anti-Semitic sentiments. Additionally, there were false claims about his political affiliations, portraying him as a communist sympathizer, particularly during the Red Scare in the U.S. These fabrications contributed to the controversies surrounding his public persona and career.
