It applies to anyone who got highlighted, then starts to be forgotten and sees the chance to throw random tantrums as a way to draw attention again. No wonder so many "prodigy children" become addicted to drugs once their 15 minutes of fame are gone.

A balanced “nice guy” finishes last.

It’s rare to find a mostly silent gentleman working hard behind the scenes like
John B. Goodenough and have him be raised into public awareness.

In truth we need more Goodenough and less drama
So-called "celebrities" forget they're exactly as "disposable" as anybody else once they can't entertain or perform other tasks which some of them seem to believe it's "too sub-standard" for them. People usually get too dazzled with a chance to have the feeling of power and entitlement, and freak out once it's gone.
