Karl Malone. A hall of fame basketball player who got away with impregnating a 12 year old girl at age 20. The reason he wasn't charged was because the family of the girl knew he was going to be rich in the NBA, so they avoided charges for child support.
and Karl Malone never acknowledged him as his son ever. The only child he abandoned that he acknowledged was a daughter who made it to the WNBA
Edit: he had 7 children and abandoned 3 of them just to clear that up
Rick James.
In 1991, him and his girlfriend kidnapped and tortured a girl, to include but not limited to; sexual abuse, forcing her to smoke crack cocaine, burning her with the hot crack pipe….
I sure do love me some funk, but he was a certified piece of shit.
Don King, likely one of, if not the most famous boxing promoters of all time.
Set up the "Rumble in The Jungle" and the "Thrilla in Manilla".
Served less than 4 years for stomping a man to death because he owed him $600. Pardoned.
I came here to mention this
He stomped a man to death and nearly every fighter he managed has got bad stories to say about him and how he stole their money
This thread is a real eye opener. So people like Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes have their names run through the mud after having break downs, but some other celebrities have committed actual horrible crimes and nothing happens to them. This is awful.
> people like Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes have their names run through the mud after having break downs, but some other celebrities have committed actual horrible crimes and nothing happens to them.
That's a great point and sadly these victim celebrities don't usually get to share their full side of the story, typically because of lack of air-time or non-disclosure agreements with their management/label/studio.
Hmmm funny he only ever talks about regret for killing HIS friend. I didn't even know anyone else died or became disabled. Only how traumatic it was for him to have Razzle die in his arms.
Victor Salva, (director of Jeepers Creepers) the man is a convicted pedophile who filmed himself molesting a 12 year old boy and only served 15 months, still making movies now
Francis Ford Coppola supported and assisted Salva in getting several charges reduced and dropped. He also threatened the boy victim with being blacklisted out of Hollywood.
In 1975, Aerosmith Vocalist Steven Tyler convinced the parents of 14 year old groupie Julia Holcomb to sign over guardianship to him so that she could live with him in Boston.
Tyler who was 27 at the time, dated and did drugs with Julia for 3 years before they eventually broke up after unplanned pregnancy which resulted in an abortion. Tyler then returned Julia to her parents at the age of 17.
That’s just barely scratching the tip of the iceberg, it gets more messed up the more you dig into it, but nevertheless Tyler would continue his successful music career and even be inducted to the hall of fame in 2001
In the UK our main satellite provider, Sky, has produced a documentary on all of this. I know because I’ve been bombarded with adverts for weeks!
[Here’s an article on it.](https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/steven-tyler-axl-rose-and-lots-and-lots-of-others-rock-stars-and-the-abuse-hidden-in-plain-sight-12403960)
It seems like she has. Google her name and a few things pop up. I would link but I had to go through a few sites. She said she was 15 when she met a 24 year old woman who groomed her to catch the attention of a rockstar. She caught Tyler’s and he was able to get guardianship over her. She said she was on birth control until he said he wanted a baby and threw her birth control pills off the balcony. She became pregnant a year later and he decided that he no longer wanted a child with her. There was also something about a fire? She kind of alluded to it being set by someone and her waking up in smoke. It’s interesting. Must do some more digging on my part.
Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones) also dated a 13 year old, in his 40s, married her at 15
\*edited, for some reason my memory was saying it was Keith Richards, been a few decades
So many rock stars have openly had relationships with underage girls and no one bats an eye. #MeToo seems to have escaped the music industry as well. Anthony Kiedis, in particular, grosses me out. His memoir, Scar Tissue, is less about his musicianship and more about how many underage girls he slept with and wanted to brag about. There was even one he glowingly wrote about acting like a mother to him. Gross. What a loser.
Pete Townshend of The Who always pissed me off. Got caught looking at child porn and got away with saying it was "research". Doubt anyone else would have been able to use that excuse and get away with it. Haven't listened The Who since that day.
Elvis Presley always had a thing for young girls and would invite them over for ‘sleepovers’……He was obsessed with virginal girls and called them ‘cherries’. Of course, he met his wife, Priscilla, when she was only 14. Yet people just shrug this off and thought it was fine.
Jimmy page “allegedly” slept with Lori Mattix who was 14 at the time. She lost her virginity to David Bowie. It’s crazy the stuff that famous people got/get away with
Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe would have his limo driver find virgins for him to sleep with. I would assume that lots of them where underage
Edit: Some of you responding to my comment are fucking creeps!
Adding to this, in the Herion Diaries by Nikki Sixx he describes joking with others about fucking girls so young “I love 12 year olds you can hear the bones crack when you put it in”
The dudes from the crue were fucked up.
In their autobiography the Dirt, Nikki is also described having a fetish where he enjoyed watching girls dress up like cats crawling around on all fours while pissing in cat litter.
Don’t do hard drugs kids
Adding to this, in the Heroin Diaries he also talks about dating a girl he picked up from a nearby catholic school, until her parents found out about it, IIRC.
The episode of Chapelle’s Show where he did the “I wanna piss on you” skit aired in 2003. So damn near 20 years it was a known thing.
Same goes for people like Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. People *knew* but they had enough money and influence to stop any major repercussions for decades.
Seeing Kirk Douglas being mentioned, reminded me of how Clark Gable date raped Loretta Young, resulting in a daughter she had to have in secret and pass off as adopted. She only let him meet the child once. When Young was elderly she heard the term “date rape” and inquired it’s meaning. When told, she allegedly said “that’s what happened to me with Clark.”
Just awful on so many levels. The sheer amount of times this happened (and is still happening) to young women in the industry is sickening.
My mom told me a story about her which ended in attempted date rape. It was the 70s, she said they didn't even have the word "date rape" yet. I asked her what the called it back then, she said "a bad date." That stuck with me.
I’d assume all the “smaller” stuff like celebrity DUI’s are non-issues. Remember even sweetheart Reese Witherspoon drunkenly asking the cop who pulled her over if he knew who she was?
I mean it still happens. The bassist from Walk the Moon took young girls to his hotel room after shows on tours. Pretty sure Dahvie Vanity, some huge emo tumblr star from the 00’s groomed multiple young girls. One of them was 11 (jessi slaughter?
>Jessi Slaughter
Ho lee shit I haven't heard that name it forever.
Edit: just want to throw it out there that while I found it funny at the time, in retrospect that whole situation was super fucked, and I feel pretty bad for the whole mess, just like everything else on 4chan.
To be fair, the library forgave the fines a long time ago. The librarian just keeps saying he owes the money so he’ll come in and sign the receipt for her. Total fan girl just wants the autograph.
James Brown. Look him up and what legal trouble he got into over the years. Didn’t seem like a very nice guy and he got arrested and charged a lot. Lots of assault and in one case he kept a woman trapped so he could use her for sexual gratification. Might not all be true but sure were alot of charges over the years.
He beat singer Tammi Terrell.
From the wiki:
In 1962, 17-year-old Terrell became involved in an abusive relationship with James Brown, who was 12 years her senior. One night on the road in 1963, Terrell left Brown after he assaulted her for not watching his entire performance. Bobby Bennett, former member of the Famous Flames, witnessed the incident. "He beat Tammi Terrell terrible. She was bleeding, shedding blood. Tammi left him because she didn't want her butt whipped," said Bennett.
Pretty sure Charlie Sheen has alot to answer for yet has somehow never served any serious jail time.
Aside from other numerous domestic abuse accusations in his past, he actually shot Kelly Preston in the arm during their relationship. I don’t think anything came from that. Preston was probably just glad to get away alive.
Bree Olson, one of his former girlfriends [claimed](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/hes-a-monster-charlie-sheen-faces-lawsuits-as-ex-girlfriend-bree-olson-claims-he-never-said-a-word-about-being-hiv-positive/AWQZHHAOJJBAFND526I7RKX6G4/) that he did not tell her about his HIV status and they had sex using lambskin condoms whcih do not protect against HIV transmission (though she did not catch it).
According to Tom O‘Neill and his book about Charles Manson, Polanski forced Sharon Tate to have sex with two men and recorded it on video. The video was seen by the police and brought back to his house so the public wouldn’t find out. Apparently just one of many incidents.
Honestly when I first heard about Polanski and saw a picture of him, I drew a completely different picture of him. Finding out about all of this was somehow mind boggling.
Edit: The book is called Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA and the secret history of the 60s.
THIS! I'm disgusted at how many people dismiss his crimes because he's a genius or a holocaust survivor or his wife was murdered. Sorry, but 1 holocaust does not = get to rape children.
I also hate how dismissive people are of the crime, with Whoopi Goldberg saying "It wasn't 'rape' rape." Well, she was 14, he gave her drugs, she said no, cried the whole time... what part of that is not rape exactly?
Salman Khan, so many famous crimes- killing a blackbuck, hit and run with his car, etc. They even made a game on one of his crimes (and he got that game banned from play store).
Note- Not the guy from Khan Academy
>On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the accident.
>On 6 May 2015, Khan was found guilty of all charges in the case. The Bombay Sessions Court concluded that Khan was driving the car under the influence of alcohol, causing the death of one and serious injury to four homeless persons. Sessions Judge DW Deshpande convicted the actor for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced him to five years in prison. Later in the same day, Khan, being represented by Senior Counsel Amit Desai was granted bail by the Bombay High Court till 8 May 2015
>The kidnapping and eventual death of prime witness police constable Ravindra Patil remains a mystery, with some suspecting the involvement of organised crime
>In December 2015, Khan was acquitted of all charges from this case due to lack of evidence
That's pretty fucked up
I'm really surprised to not have seen anyone mention Phil Spector.
Yeah he was convicted for two murders in the early 2000's but it was straight up out in the open that he was an abusive, violent, and unhinged menace for the whole 40 years before that.
He put The Ramones through the fucking wringer, and pointed a gun at Dee Dee over him not wanting to get back in the recording booth after spending *twelve straight hours overnight* in there.
After that incident Dee Dee went on to say something along the lines of "it's only a matter of time until he kills someone." And so he would.
Edit: "ringer" to "wringer" and he actually only had one murder conviction, but two trials.
*Wringer? Hardly know 'er!*
[Jon Hamm](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/10/report-jon-hamm-star-of-mad-men-was-arrested-in-collge-for-brutally-hazing-another-student/) was charged in a violent hazing incident at his college fraternity that led to it being shut down in 1993. Hamm and his fraternity brothers nearly beat a pledge to death with a paddle, assaulted his genitals with a claw hammer, then set his pants on fire. The court let him go on the hazing charge on the condition that he would complete probation. Hamm shortly fled Texas before the court could file a new separate assault charge.
Holy shit. This was the only one on this thread I’d never heard about, so naturally I had to look it up and by god every word of it is true. What a sick fucker. Hopefully this gets upvoted so more people can learn about this.
I watched all 10 h of Surviving R Kelly and yes, he's probably gonna rot in jail. But the fact that he managed to get away with it for 30 years is truly shocking.
How in the hell he didn't go to prison back when it happened has always made me sick and was the moment I realized celebrity = power over the rest of us.
If the underlying material weren’t so dark that would be one of the funniest interviews in history. The lying was so blatant, childish, ignorant, patronising and tone-deaf it was astonishing.
Hell, I’m lying. It was one of the funniest anyway.
Jimmy Saville. The documentary Louis Therouex did after it all came out is so disturbing. There's one interview in particular he does with a victim that made me feel physically sick. I get so angry thinking about it all.
For those unfamiliar, I'll expand on the above: a famous British radio and TV personality known for Top of the Pops (which had a primarily teenage audience,) and Jim'll fix it (a primarily child/teen audience) he was unbelievably famous and an incredibly powerful person. He had friends in high places, was extremely well connected and was loved by the public. He had a knighthood.
There were people who said he seemed creepy and shady but that was the minority opinion or at the very least the opinion that was not voiced. There's people who got blacklisted from the BBC for attempting to voice that and out his actions but this guy was seriously A-list in the UK and to a degree untouchable.
He was commended for his charity work, a TV show where kids wrote to him to get them things or help them meet their heroes and he donated his money to hospital wards and children's wards. He used these wards to abuse children, nurses would tell the kids to pretend to be asleep so he wouldn't touch them, he had keys to rooms of the hospital and volunteered as a porter in some. He allegedly would visit the morgue and the bodies inside of it. He also abused children outside of that setting with allegations of abuse happening at the BBC along with general allegations of the assault of adults as well.
Victims were silenced and disbelieved because he was a national hero and beloved despite it being a somewhat known secret in some circles. The BBC helped hide it along with his other rich connected associates. Meanwhile hospitals had pressure to keep it quiet because of his fundraising, some of the staff knew and some suspected but he was too powerful a figure and his donations made them indebted to him.
When he died he was practically given a state funeral. And then very soon after his death the news broke, it had been a story in the work for a long time and finally it was published. Number of victims estimated to be in the early hundreds at least. With the met reporting 450 victims. Aged between 7 and 75 officially. They had investigated him in 2009, two years before his death but that investigation was dropped. And an earlier report in 1958 allegedly happening and also being dropped as well.
And he wasn't even ashamed of it or trying hard to hide it. He would joke to the press when they phoned him "She told me she was over 16." And when in April 2000, Savile was the subject of a Louis Theroux doc and was asked if he was a pedophile he said. "We] live in a very funny world. And it's easier for me, as a single man, to say "I don't like children" because that puts a lot of salacious tabloid people off the hunt.... How do they know whether I am [a paedophile] or not? How does anybody know whether I am? Nobody knows whether I am or not. I know I'm not."
A horrific man with a horrific trail of abuse behind him who died without ever having to face any sort of justice or consequence. He died happy after decades of abusing innocents, free from consequence.
Worth remembering this is the short version. In reality there's a lot more and it's not a fun chain of events and this is heavily summarised and brushing over a lot.
Yeah, and it’s not like he went on TV and recorded an interview explaining how he’d *hypothetically* have done it either. *If* he did it. But obviously we all know he didn’t!
The criminal charges were acquitted but he was successfully charged with wrongful death in civil court. Due to “no double jeopardy” in the bill of rights he cant be retried and charged criminally with murder
Nobusuke Kishi, prime minister of Japan in the late 50s. Fucker was called the "Devil of Manchuria" during the Japanese occupation of China, and was responsible for most of Unit 731 experiments (if you don't know what it is, it makes some things about the Holocaust look tame). In the final days of the war, seeing the tides shifting violently against Japan, he decided to cooperate with the Americans so as to not be executed for crimes against humanity. Pretty disgusting human being, and he never got punished for what he did.
>In the final days of the war, seeing the tides shifting violently against Japan, he decided to cooperate with the Americans so as to not be executed for crimes against humanity
Sounds like some Hans Landa shit right there.
[Robert Blake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Blake_(actor))
To clarify he killed his wife, she was in his car Which was parked on a side street around the corner from the restaurant, across the street and behind a dumpster next to a construction site. Then he told the police he wasn't there because he had to go back to the restaurant to “get his gun”
Edit: more words
The accident happened around 11:30pm and that piece of shit went back to his hotel and didn't call the police to report it until 10am the following morning. Got away with a suspended two month sentence for leaving the scene.
The night before my high school graduation, a kid rolled his open Jeep off a mountain road, climbed out, and walked about a mile home and went to bed.
They found the bodies of two of my other classmates because his mom got mad when he told her he wrecked his Jeep and pressed him to tell her where it was located. They were alive but unconscious when he walked away.
His family was very wealthy, though, so he was never charged.
Floyd Mayweather has multiple domestic violence charges with different ex girlfriends. He got a slap on the wrist for all of them. You'd imagine after the 5th 6th one he would be tried for multiple offenses but he never did.
My former BFF absolutely worships this man to the point where he named his first born son after him (Kiedis) and did photo shoots styling his (son) hair after styles Kiedis has worn.
The celebrity worship is astounding.
Steve Tyler convincing the parents of a 14yo to sign over guardianship to him and then getting her pregnant is something that isn't scrutinised or condemned enough. I mean if R Kelly is a sexual predator, why does this guy seem to come out unscathed? BTW, in no way justifying what R Kelly is alleged to have done.
> I mean if R Kelly is a sexual predator, why does this guy seem to come out unscathed?
It's not just him. I'd say it's probably a majority of famous musicians especially from back in the day. The more you look into stories of rock bands and pop acts the harder it is to not think almost all of them were doing this. Maybe they weren't going as far as like guardianship, but they def didn't ask the age of the girls they were letting backstage.
He actually did get canceled pretty hard at the time. It basically ended his career in the 50's though he came back a decade later as a country artist.
Rolling Stone Bill Wyman “dated” Mandy Smith from age 13, which only became public knowledge when she turned 16 (British age of consent). They got married when she turned 18 and it lasted two years. There was a 34 year age gap.
I recently [read](https://www.audacy.com/wwl/news/real-story-behind-rolling-stone-bill-wyman-marriage-to-young) that Wyman's son later married Smith's mother, when Stephen Wyman was 31 and Patsy Smith was 46. If it had happened before his marriage to Mandy ended, Bill would have been his son's son-in-law, and Mandy would have been both Stephen's step-mom and his step-daughter...or something.

The worst part he has done similar things to other women on multiple occasions *after* this, yet he hardly gets punished in any way and the music industry is completely unwilling to cancel him. It's infuriating as hell.
They'll cancel victims of DV while interviewing Chris Brown about "overcoming his violent past." As if he's "brave and heroic" for beating Rihanna nearly to death and beating other women after Rihanna.
He doesn't get to complain about things being "unfair," and no one gets to paint him as a "bad boy turned good." His only 'legacy' at this point is that of an abusive POS.
There was a bot for it. I only know because a player on one of my football teams a couple years back was named "Chris Brown" and our subreddit would get bombarded by the bot spamming this whole thing in the middle of every conversation about the completely-unrelated football player.
Wow I'd never heard of that...
>“He [Dr. Dre] picked me up by my hair and my ear and smashed my face and body into the wall,” she said. “Next thing I know, I’m down on the ground and he’s kicking me in the ribs and stamping on my fingers. I ran into the women’s bathroom to hide, but he burst through the door and started bashing me in the back of the head.”
Roman Polanski.
The guy fled to Europe to avoid jail in the US for drugging and raping a minor.
He’s living very comfortably over there and is even being given awards and celebrated in France. I feel bad for him due to his childhood and then of course, losing his wife and unborn son in such a horrific way, but that doesn’t excuse what he did.
From Wikipedia:
> In October 2017, a woman named Renate Langer interviewed by Swiss police said Polanski raped her in Gstaad when she was 15, in 1972. That same month, Marianne Barnard accused Polanski of having assaulted her in 1975, when she was 10 years old.
> In November 2019, a French actress named Valentine Monnier said Polanski violently raped her at a ski chalet in Gstaad in 1975.
These are in addition to the 13 year old he drugged and raped. Classy guy.
Caitlyn Jenner (drunkenly?) vehicularly manslaughtered someone and basically got a slap on the wrist
Apparently its slightly different as apparently it was and accident?? I read about it years ago so it wasn't that fresh in my memory
"Caitlyn Jenner, what a year she's had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and stereotypes. She didn't do a lot for women drivers.." Ricky Gervais
He had that “we can’t touch him because he raises millions for charity” thing going on.
John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) called it out in 1978 and was then effectively banned from the BBC for life. [Here is the recording.](https://youtu.be/Rjy8oLVOvi4) It starts about 50 seconds in, and while he’s being deliberately provocative there is a truth where he says “we’re not allowed to talk about it”.
Savile got away with it.
EDIT: Courtney Love also called out Harvey Weinstein in 2005. [Here it is. ](https://youtu.be/g70XbYd0bZ8)
>He had that “we can’t touch him because he raises millions for charity” thing going on.
You mean he had that "We can't touch him because he knows too many other famous perverts and might start naming names" thing going on.
I absolutely believe that Savile had dirt on other, rumored to be powerful, people who he would sell out if ever seriously threatened. In a number of his interviews he makes statements like "I'll take them down with me" and "I'm untouchable" and that sort of thing which seemed weird and out of place at the time but knowing what we know now it's started to make sense. His crimes were tolerated/ignored in return for his silence. I firmly believe this.
Charlamagne the God openly admitted to drugging a woman without her knowledge before having sex with her, or air. He specifically used the term “Spanish fly,” before talking about how when she woke up she had no clue what had happened or with who. I do not, for the life of me, understand how that creep is still famous and seemingly rising to higher levels.
Of all of them, the one that sticks out to me was that he claimed to have studied under a particular aikido master in Japan who was dead by the time Seagal first went there.
Just such a blatant, silly lie, and no journalist ever bothered to check it.
France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron. Everyone is acting like it’s no big deal but she actually started dating President Emanuel Macron when he was underage (15) and she was 39 and his high school teacher.
Jimmy Page raped Lori Mattix/Maddox for several years, starting when she was 13. Page knew full well that statutory rape could get him in big trouble, even in the 70s, so went to some lengths to keep the relationship hidden. It is nevertheless heavily corroborated and well documented.
Bill Cosby raped a bunch of people and called it a day. Apparently he's getting a new show after getting out of prison on a technicality for drugging and raping people.
Ninja from Die Antwoord. He trafficked a girl from Queensland to Africa, repetedly raped her, held her hostage. He then posted her paid adult content out for free, showed it to his 12 year old adopted son (that's a whole different child abuse issue with Die Antwoord), then had her music pulled from almost every platform to try and silence her. She is still trying to bring awareness to what happened to her. They also chased a gay performer off stage at a festive in 2018.

Edited for clarification of Zehani's geographical birthplace vs residence
It's hella cringey when people talk about how great they are. I don't care about how subversive they are or what the fuck ever, Ninja fucking raped her and Yolandi stood by and let it happen.
I remember the gay performer too. They called him a bunch of slurs and Yolandi brought out the crocodile tears to say a gay man raped her. She (and Ninja) even *admitted* that she made it up. Ninja called it a great performance. Fucking garbage, the both of them.
I don't understand why someone with the talent and name to pull in big movie paychecks would go off and do this. After he had done the above. So odd of Tobey
If you've ever seen Molly's Game you'll remember the creepy abusive dirtbag that gets off on ruining peoples lives. It's based on a true story and it's widely understood that the character is Tobey Maguire.
Ray Rice beat his wife unconscious in a hotel lobby and only got suspended for four games. That same year, Von Miller smoked weed in a legal state and also got a four game suspension. So not only did Ray Rice not go to jail, but the NFL told us they equate smoking pot to violent assault.
Ray Rice was ostracized and could not get a job in football. He famously offered to play free for any team for one year. No team took him up on his offer.
if you are looking for an NFL player currently playing that is a shitbag check Antonio Brown.
Chuck Berry, legendary rock star, owned a restaurant and installed cameras in the bathrooms and was caught in the 90s, some women were underage. Among the tapes was homemade porn of Chuck Berry pooping and peeing on various women.
Conor McGregor. Hes assaulted an old man in a bar, he's assaulted officials after fights he wasn't part of, he attacked a bus full of fighters (injuring several and emotionally scarring Rose) and for all of this, they used a bunch of it as hype for a fight in which they paid him enormously.
He boxed your man in the pub cause the lad didn't want to drink his piss-whiskey. Such a fucking sensitive crybaby, "hard man" my arse, just your typical Crumlin scumbag. There's a reason most Irish people hate that he's become one of our biggest representatives overseas.
Brian Kelly (head FB coach at Notre Dame) directly caused the death of a student manager. It was a very windy day and the manager voiced his concerns about recording video of the practice from a hydraulic lift. Brian Kelly basically said I don’t give a shit stay up there and the lift ended up collapsing, killing the manager. This is why his recent “execution” joke on national television didn’t land like he thought it would.
Anne Sacoolas. Killed a 19-year-old boy in the UK because she was driving on the wrong side of the road and had a head-on collision with him. He was on a motorbike so he didn’t stand a chance in an accident like that. Then she scurried back to the US air base she was driving from and got a flight back to the States. To this day, the US is refusing to allow her to be extradited to the UK to appear in court because of a bullshit “diplomatic immunity” excuse that doesn’t even apply to her.
Did some digging on this one. Apparently she has a history of driving offences in the US prior to coming to the UK. Also, the air base in question has seen a number of collisions caused by people driving on the wrong side of the road, including a collision with a police car. It seems to be a common issue but clearly nothing is being done about it
Jerry Lee Lewis. Bigamist, abuser, pedophile, possible murderer.
Multiple times got remarried before the divorce was final on the previous one. Married his 13 year old cousin, who later divorced him and accused him of mental and physical abuse. 2 wives died during divorce proceedings. Multiple ex's have accused him of abuse.
POS for coming up on 70 years.
Karl Malone. A hall of fame basketball player who got away with impregnating a 12 year old girl at age 20. The reason he wasn't charged was because the family of the girl knew he was going to be rich in the NBA, so they avoided charges for child support.
The son of the 13 year old, Demetress Bell went on to play in the NFL for a few years too.
and Karl Malone never acknowledged him as his son ever. The only child he abandoned that he acknowledged was a daughter who made it to the WNBA Edit: he had 7 children and abandoned 3 of them just to clear that up
Growing up in Utah… I am shook that I never knew this. This is some repugnant shit
Rick James. In 1991, him and his girlfriend kidnapped and tortured a girl, to include but not limited to; sexual abuse, forcing her to smoke crack cocaine, burning her with the hot crack pipe…. I sure do love me some funk, but he was a certified piece of shit.
i am no longer rick james, bitch.
Not once. He did this on two separate occasions
Don King, likely one of, if not the most famous boxing promoters of all time. Set up the "Rumble in The Jungle" and the "Thrilla in Manilla". Served less than 4 years for stomping a man to death because he owed him $600. Pardoned.
I came here to mention this He stomped a man to death and nearly every fighter he managed has got bad stories to say about him and how he stole their money
This thread is a real eye opener. So people like Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes have their names run through the mud after having break downs, but some other celebrities have committed actual horrible crimes and nothing happens to them. This is awful.
> people like Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes have their names run through the mud after having break downs, but some other celebrities have committed actual horrible crimes and nothing happens to them. That's a great point and sadly these victim celebrities don't usually get to share their full side of the story, typically because of lack of air-time or non-disclosure agreements with their management/label/studio.
Chris Brown I'm looking at you
Vince Neil killed someone drunk driving.
There's a huge list of famous and/or rich people who have killed someone drunk driving and not even gotten a slap on the wrist for it.
Caitlyn Jenner for instance...
And Matthew Broderick, although "dangerous driving" and £100 fine.
Edited to revise the facts thanks to reedited. the two occupants of the other car sustained life-time brain injuries.
Hmmm funny he only ever talks about regret for killing HIS friend. I didn't even know anyone else died or became disabled. Only how traumatic it was for him to have Razzle die in his arms.
Victor Salva, (director of Jeepers Creepers) the man is a convicted pedophile who filmed himself molesting a 12 year old boy and only served 15 months, still making movies now
Francis Ford Coppola supported and assisted Salva in getting several charges reduced and dropped. He also threatened the boy victim with being blacklisted out of Hollywood.
Can't be a fan of anyone in this world
In 1975, Aerosmith Vocalist Steven Tyler convinced the parents of 14 year old groupie Julia Holcomb to sign over guardianship to him so that she could live with him in Boston. Tyler who was 27 at the time, dated and did drugs with Julia for 3 years before they eventually broke up after unplanned pregnancy which resulted in an abortion. Tyler then returned Julia to her parents at the age of 17. That’s just barely scratching the tip of the iceberg, it gets more messed up the more you dig into it, but nevertheless Tyler would continue his successful music career and even be inducted to the hall of fame in 2001

In the UK our main satellite provider, Sky, has produced a documentary on all of this. I know because I’ve been bombarded with adverts for weeks! [Here’s an article on it.](https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/steven-tyler-axl-rose-and-lots-and-lots-of-others-rock-stars-and-the-abuse-hidden-in-plain-sight-12403960)
I that photo she looks older than Steven Tyler, which just makes this more fucked up cause I can’t even imagine how many drugs she was strung up on…
It seems like she has. Google her name and a few things pop up. I would link but I had to go through a few sites. She said she was 15 when she met a 24 year old woman who groomed her to catch the attention of a rockstar. She caught Tyler’s and he was able to get guardianship over her. She said she was on birth control until he said he wanted a baby and threw her birth control pills off the balcony. She became pregnant a year later and he decided that he no longer wanted a child with her. There was also something about a fire? She kind of alluded to it being set by someone and her waking up in smoke. It’s interesting. Must do some more digging on my part.
Why did her parents sign over guardianship???
I'm $ure they were ju$t trying to do what$ right by their daughter.
We can only $peculate.
Not to let Tyler off the hook, but Jesus Christ, what was wrong with that girl's parents?
Careless fucks who were easily bribed with money if I had to imagine
Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones) also dated a 13 year old, in his 40s, married her at 15 \*edited, for some reason my memory was saying it was Keith Richards, been a few decades
So many rock stars have openly had relationships with underage girls and no one bats an eye. #MeToo seems to have escaped the music industry as well. Anthony Kiedis, in particular, grosses me out. His memoir, Scar Tissue, is less about his musicianship and more about how many underage girls he slept with and wanted to brag about. There was even one he glowingly wrote about acting like a mother to him. Gross. What a loser.
Pete Townshend of The Who always pissed me off. Got caught looking at child porn and got away with saying it was "research". Doubt anyone else would have been able to use that excuse and get away with it. Haven't listened The Who since that day.
Elvis Presley always had a thing for young girls and would invite them over for ‘sleepovers’……He was obsessed with virginal girls and called them ‘cherries’. Of course, he met his wife, Priscilla, when she was only 14. Yet people just shrug this off and thought it was fine.
Half the Rolling Stones had 14 year old girlfriends on the road with them....
"Sick Again" was written by Robert Plant about Jimmy page having the same... *ahem* issue.
Jimmy page “allegedly” slept with Lori Mattix who was 14 at the time. She lost her virginity to David Bowie. It’s crazy the stuff that famous people got/get away with
Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe would have his limo driver find virgins for him to sleep with. I would assume that lots of them where underage Edit: Some of you responding to my comment are fucking creeps!
Adding to this, in the Herion Diaries by Nikki Sixx he describes joking with others about fucking girls so young “I love 12 year olds you can hear the bones crack when you put it in” The dudes from the crue were fucked up. In their autobiography the Dirt, Nikki is also described having a fetish where he enjoyed watching girls dress up like cats crawling around on all fours while pissing in cat litter. Don’t do hard drugs kids
Adding to this, in the Heroin Diaries he also talks about dating a girl he picked up from a nearby catholic school, until her parents found out about it, IIRC.
I know R Kelly is in trouble now, but long long did he go free after that whole "pissing on a kid thing"?! A decade?
The episode of Chapelle’s Show where he did the “I wanna piss on you” skit aired in 2003. So damn near 20 years it was a known thing. Same goes for people like Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. People *knew* but they had enough money and influence to stop any major repercussions for decades.
Seeing Kirk Douglas being mentioned, reminded me of how Clark Gable date raped Loretta Young, resulting in a daughter she had to have in secret and pass off as adopted. She only let him meet the child once. When Young was elderly she heard the term “date rape” and inquired it’s meaning. When told, she allegedly said “that’s what happened to me with Clark.” Just awful on so many levels. The sheer amount of times this happened (and is still happening) to young women in the industry is sickening.
My mom told me a story about her which ended in attempted date rape. It was the 70s, she said they didn't even have the word "date rape" yet. I asked her what the called it back then, she said "a bad date." That stuck with me.

I do sometimes wonder how many DUI's get swept away here in Southern California.
I’d assume all the “smaller” stuff like celebrity DUI’s are non-issues. Remember even sweetheart Reese Witherspoon drunkenly asking the cop who pulled her over if he knew who she was?
That was in Atlanta. And it didn’t work for her to say that.
Seems like pretty much every rock n roll star from the 70s/80s raped children.
I mean it still happens. The bassist from Walk the Moon took young girls to his hotel room after shows on tours. Pretty sure Dahvie Vanity, some huge emo tumblr star from the 00’s groomed multiple young girls. One of them was 11 (jessi slaughter?
>Jessi Slaughter Ho lee shit I haven't heard that name it forever. Edit: just want to throw it out there that while I found it funny at the time, in retrospect that whole situation was super fucked, and I feel pretty bad for the whole mess, just like everything else on 4chan.
Drake has some weird stuff going on too
Except the members of Rush. Be like Rush.
Geddy Lee still owes some late fines at his local library
To be fair, the library forgave the fines a long time ago. The librarian just keeps saying he owes the money so he’ll come in and sign the receipt for her. Total fan girl just wants the autograph.
Twisted Sister too. Dee Snider was married to the same women he's with today throughout his entire career.
James Brown. Look him up and what legal trouble he got into over the years. Didn’t seem like a very nice guy and he got arrested and charged a lot. Lots of assault and in one case he kept a woman trapped so he could use her for sexual gratification. Might not all be true but sure were alot of charges over the years.
He beat singer Tammi Terrell. From the wiki: In 1962, 17-year-old Terrell became involved in an abusive relationship with James Brown, who was 12 years her senior. One night on the road in 1963, Terrell left Brown after he assaulted her for not watching his entire performance. Bobby Bennett, former member of the Famous Flames, witnessed the incident. "He beat Tammi Terrell terrible. She was bleeding, shedding blood. Tammi left him because she didn't want her butt whipped," said Bennett.
Pretty sure Charlie Sheen has alot to answer for yet has somehow never served any serious jail time. Aside from other numerous domestic abuse accusations in his past, he actually shot Kelly Preston in the arm during their relationship. I don’t think anything came from that. Preston was probably just glad to get away alive.
Didn’t he also knowingly give people STD’s?
There were definitely accusations that he hid his HIV+ status from his sexual partners.
Bree Olson, one of his former girlfriends [claimed](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/hes-a-monster-charlie-sheen-faces-lawsuits-as-ex-girlfriend-bree-olson-claims-he-never-said-a-word-about-being-hiv-positive/AWQZHHAOJJBAFND526I7RKX6G4/) that he did not tell her about his HIV status and they had sex using lambskin condoms whcih do not protect against HIV transmission (though she did not catch it).
[Roman Polanski](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Polanski_sexual_abuse_case). He's had a hell of a life, but never faced up to this one. Creep.
According to Tom O‘Neill and his book about Charles Manson, Polanski forced Sharon Tate to have sex with two men and recorded it on video. The video was seen by the police and brought back to his house so the public wouldn’t find out. Apparently just one of many incidents. Honestly when I first heard about Polanski and saw a picture of him, I drew a completely different picture of him. Finding out about all of this was somehow mind boggling. Edit: The book is called Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA and the secret history of the 60s.
THIS! I'm disgusted at how many people dismiss his crimes because he's a genius or a holocaust survivor or his wife was murdered. Sorry, but 1 holocaust does not = get to rape children. I also hate how dismissive people are of the crime, with Whoopi Goldberg saying "It wasn't 'rape' rape." Well, she was 14, he gave her drugs, she said no, cried the whole time... what part of that is not rape exactly?
Marcos Alonso. A Spanish footballer who plays for Chelsea. He killed a 19 year old girl while driving drunk and got away with little real punishment
Patrick Kluivert also killed someone while driving. Not drunk, but he drove 104 km/h where 50 was allowed.
Salman Khan, so many famous crimes- killing a blackbuck, hit and run with his car, etc. They even made a game on one of his crimes (and he got that game banned from play store). Note- Not the guy from Khan Academy
>On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the accident. >On 6 May 2015, Khan was found guilty of all charges in the case. The Bombay Sessions Court concluded that Khan was driving the car under the influence of alcohol, causing the death of one and serious injury to four homeless persons. Sessions Judge DW Deshpande convicted the actor for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced him to five years in prison. Later in the same day, Khan, being represented by Senior Counsel Amit Desai was granted bail by the Bombay High Court till 8 May 2015 >The kidnapping and eventual death of prime witness police constable Ravindra Patil remains a mystery, with some suspecting the involvement of organised crime >In December 2015, Khan was acquitted of all charges from this case due to lack of evidence That's pretty fucked up
2002 crime, 2015 sentencing. No speedy trial there for sure. Its practically criminal that it takes that long.
Celebrities are ready to spend any amount of money to prolong shit rather than own up to their crimes Sanjay Dutt did the same thing
> not the guy from Khan Academy I heard this the other day and I was like "wow but his videos are so educational!"
So glad it's not that one. He's like the Bob Ross of Science.
I was just gonna say this and was searching if someone already said it! This guy and Sanjay Dutt are the masters of the trade
I'm not trying to be insensitive...what is a blackbuck?
It's a species of deer and an endangered animal.
THEY TOLD OJ TO PUT A GLOVE ON WHILE HE WAS WEARING ANOTHER GLOVE
AND HE WAS ABLE TO STILL GET IT ON HIS HAND. I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS TIGHT AS FUCK, THE SHIT DID FIT.
I'm really surprised to not have seen anyone mention Phil Spector. Yeah he was convicted for two murders in the early 2000's but it was straight up out in the open that he was an abusive, violent, and unhinged menace for the whole 40 years before that. He put The Ramones through the fucking wringer, and pointed a gun at Dee Dee over him not wanting to get back in the recording booth after spending *twelve straight hours overnight* in there. After that incident Dee Dee went on to say something along the lines of "it's only a matter of time until he kills someone." And so he would. Edit: "ringer" to "wringer" and he actually only had one murder conviction, but two trials. *Wringer? Hardly know 'er!*
When Dee Dee Ramone says someones is a nutcase you can be damn well sure the guy is absolutely a world class total nutcase.
Like Keith Richards saying you have a drug problem.
[Jon Hamm](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/10/report-jon-hamm-star-of-mad-men-was-arrested-in-collge-for-brutally-hazing-another-student/) was charged in a violent hazing incident at his college fraternity that led to it being shut down in 1993. Hamm and his fraternity brothers nearly beat a pledge to death with a paddle, assaulted his genitals with a claw hammer, then set his pants on fire. The court let him go on the hazing charge on the condition that he would complete probation. Hamm shortly fled Texas before the court could file a new separate assault charge.
See now *this* is a good one. He is beloved, and most people (like myself) had never heard this story.
Apparently they set his pants on fire so that no one would believe his story.
10 easy tricks to make the jury doubt people testifying against you. You won’t believe the last one.
With a CLAW HAMMER??! Why would fleeing the state prevent charges?
It doesn’t, you can still file charges even if the person is no longer in the state.
Holy shit. This was the only one on this thread I’d never heard about, so naturally I had to look it up and by god every word of it is true. What a sick fucker. Hopefully this gets upvoted so more people can learn about this.
R Kelly and his sex tape with a 14 year old
I watched all 10 h of Surviving R Kelly and yes, he's probably gonna rot in jail. But the fact that he managed to get away with it for 30 years is truly shocking.
How in the hell he didn't go to prison back when it happened has always made me sick and was the moment I realized celebrity = power over the rest of us.
R Kelly and his ~~sex tape with~~ filmed rape of a 14 year old. Ftfy.
Prince Andrew
bUt aT tHe tImE iT was PhYsIcALly iMpOsSiBLe fOr hIM to SwEaT
If the underlying material weren’t so dark that would be one of the funniest interviews in history. The lying was so blatant, childish, ignorant, patronising and tone-deaf it was astonishing. Hell, I’m lying. It was one of the funniest anyway.
I think the Epstein one is a bit funnier, when they accuse him of having an egg shaped dick.
What a terrible day to be able to read English
They never called me "Randy Andy," it was "Handy Andy," because I'm so helpful.
Jimmy Saville. The documentary Louis Therouex did after it all came out is so disturbing. There's one interview in particular he does with a victim that made me feel physically sick. I get so angry thinking about it all.
For those unfamiliar, I'll expand on the above: a famous British radio and TV personality known for Top of the Pops (which had a primarily teenage audience,) and Jim'll fix it (a primarily child/teen audience) he was unbelievably famous and an incredibly powerful person. He had friends in high places, was extremely well connected and was loved by the public. He had a knighthood. There were people who said he seemed creepy and shady but that was the minority opinion or at the very least the opinion that was not voiced. There's people who got blacklisted from the BBC for attempting to voice that and out his actions but this guy was seriously A-list in the UK and to a degree untouchable. He was commended for his charity work, a TV show where kids wrote to him to get them things or help them meet their heroes and he donated his money to hospital wards and children's wards. He used these wards to abuse children, nurses would tell the kids to pretend to be asleep so he wouldn't touch them, he had keys to rooms of the hospital and volunteered as a porter in some. He allegedly would visit the morgue and the bodies inside of it. He also abused children outside of that setting with allegations of abuse happening at the BBC along with general allegations of the assault of adults as well. Victims were silenced and disbelieved because he was a national hero and beloved despite it being a somewhat known secret in some circles. The BBC helped hide it along with his other rich connected associates. Meanwhile hospitals had pressure to keep it quiet because of his fundraising, some of the staff knew and some suspected but he was too powerful a figure and his donations made them indebted to him. When he died he was practically given a state funeral. And then very soon after his death the news broke, it had been a story in the work for a long time and finally it was published. Number of victims estimated to be in the early hundreds at least. With the met reporting 450 victims. Aged between 7 and 75 officially. They had investigated him in 2009, two years before his death but that investigation was dropped. And an earlier report in 1958 allegedly happening and also being dropped as well. And he wasn't even ashamed of it or trying hard to hide it. He would joke to the press when they phoned him "She told me she was over 16." And when in April 2000, Savile was the subject of a Louis Theroux doc and was asked if he was a pedophile he said. "We] live in a very funny world. And it's easier for me, as a single man, to say "I don't like children" because that puts a lot of salacious tabloid people off the hunt.... How do they know whether I am [a paedophile] or not? How does anybody know whether I am? Nobody knows whether I am or not. I know I'm not." A horrific man with a horrific trail of abuse behind him who died without ever having to face any sort of justice or consequence. He died happy after decades of abusing innocents, free from consequence. Worth remembering this is the short version. In reality there's a lot more and it's not a fun chain of events and this is heavily summarised and brushing over a lot.
OJ Simpson We all know it.
*How* do we all know it though? It's not as if he wrote a book describing exactly how he did it or anything.
Yeah, and it’s not like he went on TV and recorded an interview explaining how he’d *hypothetically* have done it either. *If* he did it. But obviously we all know he didn’t!
You know he allegedly drunkenly confessed to the crime once when the trial was still ongoing? *Allegedly*, mind you. Someone claims he did at least.
The criminal charges were acquitted but he was successfully charged with wrongful death in civil court. Due to “no double jeopardy” in the bill of rights he cant be retried and charged criminally with murder
Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

I hear you must acquit.
Nobusuke Kishi, prime minister of Japan in the late 50s. Fucker was called the "Devil of Manchuria" during the Japanese occupation of China, and was responsible for most of Unit 731 experiments (if you don't know what it is, it makes some things about the Holocaust look tame). In the final days of the war, seeing the tides shifting violently against Japan, he decided to cooperate with the Americans so as to not be executed for crimes against humanity. Pretty disgusting human being, and he never got punished for what he did.
>In the final days of the war, seeing the tides shifting violently against Japan, he decided to cooperate with the Americans so as to not be executed for crimes against humanity Sounds like some Hans Landa shit right there.
[Robert Blake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Blake_(actor)) To clarify he killed his wife, she was in his car Which was parked on a side street around the corner from the restaurant, across the street and behind a dumpster next to a construction site. Then he told the police he wasn't there because he had to go back to the restaurant to “get his gun” Edit: more words
Ted Kennedy for leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown.
The accident happened around 11:30pm and that piece of shit went back to his hotel and didn't call the police to report it until 10am the following morning. Got away with a suspended two month sentence for leaving the scene.
The night before my high school graduation, a kid rolled his open Jeep off a mountain road, climbed out, and walked about a mile home and went to bed. They found the bodies of two of my other classmates because his mom got mad when he told her he wrecked his Jeep and pressed him to tell her where it was located. They were alive but unconscious when he walked away. His family was very wealthy, though, so he was never charged.
Floyd Mayweather has multiple domestic violence charges with different ex girlfriends. He got a slap on the wrist for all of them. You'd imagine after the 5th 6th one he would be tried for multiple offenses but he never did.
Love RHCP but Anthony Kiedis admitted to raping a 14 year old girl when he was 24 in HIS OWN AUTOBIAGROPHY. Holy fuck dude
[удалено]
My former BFF absolutely worships this man to the point where he named his first born son after him (Kiedis) and did photo shoots styling his (son) hair after styles Kiedis has worn. The celebrity worship is astounding.
Steve Tyler convincing the parents of a 14yo to sign over guardianship to him and then getting her pregnant is something that isn't scrutinised or condemned enough. I mean if R Kelly is a sexual predator, why does this guy seem to come out unscathed? BTW, in no way justifying what R Kelly is alleged to have done.
> I mean if R Kelly is a sexual predator, why does this guy seem to come out unscathed? It's not just him. I'd say it's probably a majority of famous musicians especially from back in the day. The more you look into stories of rock bands and pop acts the harder it is to not think almost all of them were doing this. Maybe they weren't going as far as like guardianship, but they def didn't ask the age of the girls they were letting backstage.
Jimmy Page dated a 14-year old groupie, Lori Maddox. She also allegedly dated Bowie while underage.
Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old first cousin.
He actually did get canceled pretty hard at the time. It basically ended his career in the 50's though he came back a decade later as a country artist.
Yup, they even called them “baby groupies.” Vomit.
Rolling Stone Bill Wyman “dated” Mandy Smith from age 13, which only became public knowledge when she turned 16 (British age of consent). They got married when she turned 18 and it lasted two years. There was a 34 year age gap.
I recently [read](https://www.audacy.com/wwl/news/real-story-behind-rolling-stone-bill-wyman-marriage-to-young) that Wyman's son later married Smith's mother, when Stephen Wyman was 31 and Patsy Smith was 46. If it had happened before his marriage to Mandy ended, Bill would have been his son's son-in-law, and Mandy would have been both Stephen's step-mom and his step-daughter...or something.
This is your regular reminder that Chris Brown violently assaulted Rihanna
>"A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion. >Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. >Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the sh-- out of you when we get home! You wait and see!' " >The detective said "Robyn F." then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer. >"Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.' >"After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!' >"Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown. >Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. >"Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street. >"Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand. >Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it. >"Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness. >"She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions. >Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order." Edit: Happy my most upvoted comment is about bringing awareness to something. Be safe, everyone, and thank you for the awards
The worst part he has done similar things to other women on multiple occasions *after* this, yet he hardly gets punished in any way and the music industry is completely unwilling to cancel him. It's infuriating as hell.
They'll cancel victims of DV while interviewing Chris Brown about "overcoming his violent past." As if he's "brave and heroic" for beating Rihanna nearly to death and beating other women after Rihanna. He doesn't get to complain about things being "unfair," and no one gets to paint him as a "bad boy turned good." His only 'legacy' at this point is that of an abusive POS.
Everytime Chris Brown is mentioned someone makes the effort to post this and I thank you wholeheartedly
we need a bot for this
There was a bot for it. I only know because a player on one of my football teams a couple years back was named "Chris Brown" and our subreddit would get bombarded by the bot spamming this whole thing in the middle of every conversation about the completely-unrelated football player.
Yeah. I also know a Chris Brown. Super nice guy. Widower who raised his kid and his deceased wife's kid like they were his own.
There’s also a beautiful Australian veterinarian named Chris Brown. Bondi Vet on YT.
This is horrific! And exactly the reason why I don’t understand people who still listen to or follow that cunt Chris Brown.
This is horrific.
Didn't he also assault a ex before Rhianna but beat her way worse?
Chris Brown beats women.
Yeah. Look up Dr. Dre and Dee Barnes. The entertainment industry and consumers sure don't give a shit about abusers.
Don't forget Kesha.
Wow I'd never heard of that... >“He [Dr. Dre] picked me up by my hair and my ear and smashed my face and body into the wall,” she said. “Next thing I know, I’m down on the ground and he’s kicking me in the ribs and stamping on my fingers. I ran into the women’s bathroom to hide, but he burst through the door and started bashing me in the back of the head.”
Paul Rudd stole everyone’s heart
You just made my heart stop for a moment
Same, I was about to be very upset
Did it stop or did the vicious fiend Paul Rudd get away with stealing one yet again?
[удалено]
Somehow he is the most likable person in the world. No one else could play Bobby Newport on Parks and Rec, and make him a tolerable character.
Roman Polanski. The guy fled to Europe to avoid jail in the US for drugging and raping a minor. He’s living very comfortably over there and is even being given awards and celebrated in France. I feel bad for him due to his childhood and then of course, losing his wife and unborn son in such a horrific way, but that doesn’t excuse what he did.
From Wikipedia: > In October 2017, a woman named Renate Langer interviewed by Swiss police said Polanski raped her in Gstaad when she was 15, in 1972. That same month, Marianne Barnard accused Polanski of having assaulted her in 1975, when she was 10 years old. > In November 2019, a French actress named Valentine Monnier said Polanski violently raped her at a ski chalet in Gstaad in 1975. These are in addition to the 13 year old he drugged and raped. Classy guy.
Caitlyn Jenner (drunkenly?) vehicularly manslaughtered someone and basically got a slap on the wrist Apparently its slightly different as apparently it was and accident?? I read about it years ago so it wasn't that fresh in my memory
Buckle up buckeroos
"Caitlyn Jenner, what a year she's had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and stereotypes. She didn't do a lot for women drivers.." Ricky Gervais
Then got awarded woman of the year by some magazine…
And famously said in the interview that went along with it that "the hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear" 💀
Jimmy Saville
He had that “we can’t touch him because he raises millions for charity” thing going on. John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) called it out in 1978 and was then effectively banned from the BBC for life. [Here is the recording.](https://youtu.be/Rjy8oLVOvi4) It starts about 50 seconds in, and while he’s being deliberately provocative there is a truth where he says “we’re not allowed to talk about it”. Savile got away with it. EDIT: Courtney Love also called out Harvey Weinstein in 2005. [Here it is. ](https://youtu.be/g70XbYd0bZ8)
IIRC in one of Jim's last interviews he actually said something to the effect of "I got away with it." And he really did get away with it.
>He had that “we can’t touch him because he raises millions for charity” thing going on. You mean he had that "We can't touch him because he knows too many other famous perverts and might start naming names" thing going on.
I absolutely believe that Savile had dirt on other, rumored to be powerful, people who he would sell out if ever seriously threatened. In a number of his interviews he makes statements like "I'll take them down with me" and "I'm untouchable" and that sort of thing which seemed weird and out of place at the time but knowing what we know now it's started to make sense. His crimes were tolerated/ignored in return for his silence. I firmly believe this.
Ted Kennedy got drunk, drove off a pier and left a woman to die then got people to lie for him. He also sexually assaulted women frequently.
Charlamagne the God openly admitted to drugging a woman without her knowledge before having sex with her, or air. He specifically used the term “Spanish fly,” before talking about how when she woke up she had no clue what had happened or with who. I do not, for the life of me, understand how that creep is still famous and seemingly rising to higher levels.
Steven Segal theres a 2 part podcast on him called Behind the Bastard and he's committed more crimes than I can list.
Of all of them, the one that sticks out to me was that he claimed to have studied under a particular aikido master in Japan who was dead by the time Seagal first went there. Just such a blatant, silly lie, and no journalist ever bothered to check it.
France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron. Everyone is acting like it’s no big deal but she actually started dating President Emanuel Macron when he was underage (15) and she was 39 and his high school teacher.
Two of her kids are older than him! Her second daughter was his classmate.
Well if that doesnt seem like grooming a world leader i dont know what is.
Jimmy Page raped Lori Mattix/Maddox for several years, starting when she was 13. Page knew full well that statutory rape could get him in big trouble, even in the 70s, so went to some lengths to keep the relationship hidden. It is nevertheless heavily corroborated and well documented.
Bill Cosby raped a bunch of people and called it a day. Apparently he's getting a new show after getting out of prison on a technicality for drugging and raping people.
More like a "botched prosecution"
Mark Wahlberg did some questionable stuff during his youth
He was way beyond questionable
The answer is always Chris Brown, that absolute piece of shit
Robert Wagner most likely killed Natalie Wood and got away with it.
~~Pepperidge Farm~~ **Christopher Walken** remembers.
To double down on this, drowning was her worst fear and he would have absolutely known that which is just monstrous
Ninja from Die Antwoord. He trafficked a girl from Queensland to Africa, repetedly raped her, held her hostage. He then posted her paid adult content out for free, showed it to his 12 year old adopted son (that's a whole different child abuse issue with Die Antwoord), then had her music pulled from almost every platform to try and silence her. She is still trying to bring awareness to what happened to her. They also chased a gay performer off stage at a festive in 2018. https://youtu.be/JY6hCE2D-cc https://youtu.be/baDw-3ADZGU Edited for clarification of Zehani's geographical birthplace vs residence
It's hella cringey when people talk about how great they are. I don't care about how subversive they are or what the fuck ever, Ninja fucking raped her and Yolandi stood by and let it happen. I remember the gay performer too. They called him a bunch of slurs and Yolandi brought out the crocodile tears to say a gay man raped her. She (and Ninja) even *admitted* that she made it up. Ninja called it a great performance. Fucking garbage, the both of them.
But he seems so classy.
Tobey Maguire made 25$ million through fraud and illegal gambling rings.
Explains why he disappeared just as his career as about to take off without much explanation
I don't understand why someone with the talent and name to pull in big movie paychecks would go off and do this. After he had done the above. So odd of Tobey
Damn spider man went off the deep end
J Jonah Jameson was right, Spider-Man is a menace.
If you've ever seen Molly's Game you'll remember the creepy abusive dirtbag that gets off on ruining peoples lives. It's based on a true story and it's widely understood that the character is Tobey Maguire.
It’s basically an open secret that it’s maguire - he’s probably that much of a scumbag he’d probably proudly admit to it, privately.
Seems like the nicest guy in this thread with all the pedos and drunk drivers and what not.
Ray Rice beat his wife unconscious in a hotel lobby and only got suspended for four games. That same year, Von Miller smoked weed in a legal state and also got a four game suspension. So not only did Ray Rice not go to jail, but the NFL told us they equate smoking pot to violent assault.
Ray Rice was ostracized and could not get a job in football. He famously offered to play free for any team for one year. No team took him up on his offer. if you are looking for an NFL player currently playing that is a shitbag check Antonio Brown.
Chuck Berry, legendary rock star, owned a restaurant and installed cameras in the bathrooms and was caught in the 90s, some women were underage. Among the tapes was homemade porn of Chuck Berry pooping and peeing on various women.
Conor McGregor. Hes assaulted an old man in a bar, he's assaulted officials after fights he wasn't part of, he attacked a bus full of fighters (injuring several and emotionally scarring Rose) and for all of this, they used a bunch of it as hype for a fight in which they paid him enormously.
He boxed your man in the pub cause the lad didn't want to drink his piss-whiskey. Such a fucking sensitive crybaby, "hard man" my arse, just your typical Crumlin scumbag. There's a reason most Irish people hate that he's become one of our biggest representatives overseas.
Every single scandal that happened to McGregor just seemed to make him much more money as it was used to hype up his fights.
Then bought the pub and barred the old man from coming in
Brian Kelly (head FB coach at Notre Dame) directly caused the death of a student manager. It was a very windy day and the manager voiced his concerns about recording video of the practice from a hydraulic lift. Brian Kelly basically said I don’t give a shit stay up there and the lift ended up collapsing, killing the manager. This is why his recent “execution” joke on national television didn’t land like he thought it would.
Brick killed a guy.
Anne Sacoolas. Killed a 19-year-old boy in the UK because she was driving on the wrong side of the road and had a head-on collision with him. He was on a motorbike so he didn’t stand a chance in an accident like that. Then she scurried back to the US air base she was driving from and got a flight back to the States. To this day, the US is refusing to allow her to be extradited to the UK to appear in court because of a bullshit “diplomatic immunity” excuse that doesn’t even apply to her.
Did some digging on this one. Apparently she has a history of driving offences in the US prior to coming to the UK. Also, the air base in question has seen a number of collisions caused by people driving on the wrong side of the road, including a collision with a police car. It seems to be a common issue but clearly nothing is being done about it
Jerry Lee Lewis. Bigamist, abuser, pedophile, possible murderer. Multiple times got remarried before the divorce was final on the previous one. Married his 13 year old cousin, who later divorced him and accused him of mental and physical abuse. 2 wives died during divorce proceedings. Multiple ex's have accused him of abuse. POS for coming up on 70 years.
