Hello ladies and gents its this time again its time for some crime to be cornered Celebrity edition

T.I.

Any time there’s an article floating around that lists off a number of your worst crimes, you know you’re probably doing something wrong. Enter T.I., who’s currently the subject of a similar article over at Prefix. The list includes a 1997 charge for “manufacturing and distributing crack cocaine,” “battery of a law enforcement officer” in 2003, violating his probation that same year, “purchase and possession of automatic weapons” in 2007, and “possession of controlled substances” in 2010.

Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson’s name has come up in a couple of highly publicized incidents. First, we have his infamous DUI traffic stop, where he screamed anti-Semitic obscenities at a police officer, resisted arrest, and generally made a spectacle of himself. It was an incident so damning, that his Hollywood career has only just begun to recover.

Gibson also reached a plea deal in a domestic violence case in 2016, “to a charge of misdemeanor battery of his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.”

Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby’s alleged crimes have been well-documented over the last couple years. Currently, Cosby is embroiled in litigation, numbering upward of eight civil suits, as well as a criminal sexual assault case. The charges stem from dozens of women who’ve stepped forward to accuse him of various counts of sexual abuse, assault, and rape, and given the sheer numbers stacked against him, it’s hard not to believe them.


Phil Rudd

Phil Rudd makes this list for one of the more bizarre crimes in the world of celebrities. Back in 2014, the former AC/DC drummer was charged in a New Zealand court for hiring a hitman to kill two people. According to CNN, “he was also charged with threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis.”

Chris Brown

Chris Brown has struggled to stay out of trouble throughout his career. In 2009, he got into a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, leaving her battered, bruised, and subsequently hospitalized. After Robin Roberts questioned him about the incident in a 2011 episode of Good Morning America, Brown threw a chair through his dressing room window in a fit of rage, before leaving the building shirtless.

From there, it’s a laundry list of physical fights involving other rappers, battery charges, various violations of probation, and a stint in jail stemming from him leaving a court-ordered treatment program too early.

I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
