Obloquy:

- discredit, disgrace, or bad repute resulting from public blame, abuse, or denunciation. [Dictionary.com]
Noted in “Remembering Charles Krauthammer,” Andrew Sullivan, New York:
Being a dissident on the right as I became — particularly in the new century — was to invite ostracism and obloquy from the mainstream conservative media. But not from Charles. It wasn’t because we didn’t have disagreements.
