inglorious

An inglorious person or thing does not bring glory or praise to themselves or others. A politician who gets caught doing something dishonest might be called inglorious.

The word "inglorious" can also mean not bringing honor or credit, but it's often used in a more general way to describe someone or something that is considered embarrassing or shameful. For example, if a famous musician has a scandalous past, they might be remembered for their inglorious mistakes rather than their successful songs. In sports, an athlete who gets in trouble with the referee might have a inglorious moment during the game.
