Crime is not the word you would like to associate with the celebrities. Yes, there are some of us who love to see famous and successful people fall. But overall, the celebrities’ accusation of crimes is a shocking affair. I mean, some of the crimes that celebrities have committed over the years have been completely unnecessary. It defies logic as to why anyone making thousands of dollars would want to steal a product regardless of its price. Not only do they get caught, but their public images are also compromised.

Of course, the list of crimes committed by famouscelebrities is not limited to petty theft. Some have been charged and successfully convicted of serious crimes including drug dealing, domestic violence and murder. And the association with such crimes is what shocks us the most. Yes, I agree that celebrities are people after all and have falls that all of us have. But throwing away not only your fame but your life in a moment is an act of utter folly.

So in this article, let’s look at nine disturbing crimes that celebrities have been accused of. These crimes range from petty shoplifting to more serious and destructive acts such as murder and domestic violence.

• Winona Ryder

You know hindsight is a good thing. It allows you to find something good in a bad phase of your life. And Winona Ryder, who was the subject of a shocking theft scandal in 2001, has since claimed the nefarious incident sparked something good. Yes, it’s hard to believe that being a center of a highly publicized theft scandal is anything but good. She revealed that it wasn’t the beginning of a bad phase in her life. The shameful event stopped her from crashing into the ground after her life had already started with a jolt. In a weird way, she was able to explore options outside of Hollywood and get closer to her family and friends.

The ignominious event took place on December 12, 2001 when Ryder was arrested for shoplifting in Beverly Hills, California. Ryder, who was one of the most profitable actresses of the ’90s, was accused of stealing $5,500 worth of designer clothing and accessories from Saks Fifth Avenue department store. During the trial, she was accused of using drugs including oxycodone, diazepam and vicodin without a valid prescription. Eventually she was acquitted on the third charge of theft, shoplifting and vandalism. She was sentenced to three years probation and 480 hours of community service. She was also ordered to pay back $6,355 to the Saks Fifth Avenue store and attend psychological and drug counseling.

• Adrian Peterson

Even before he turned pro, there was enough evidence that the future Minnesota Vikings star was a special talent. During the 2004 season, as a true freshman, he set the NCAA freshman rushing record of 1,925 meters. A unanimous premier All-American, he also became the first freshman to win second-place picks for the Heisman Trophy. He began his pro career with the Vikings in spectacular fashion, winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and setting an NFL record for most rush yards in a game (296). Everything worked out for the run back, and in 2013 he even became the third-fastest player to rush for 10,000 yards in NFL history. But a year later he had serious problems. on the 11th On September 18, 2014, a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas indicted him for carelessly or negligently injuring a child in connection with a May 18, 2014 event. He was accused of using a branch. which he consistently described as a switch to his four-year-old son’s discipline. The images of severe sweating and bleeding on the child’s back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles were sparked by tabloids. First, he was banned for a Viking game. On November 18, 2014, he was suspended from all NFL activity. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service. because he carelessly or negligently injured a child in connection with an event on May 18, 2014. He was accused of using a branch. which he consistently described as a switch to his four-year-old son’s discipline. The images of severe sweating and bleeding on the child’s back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles were sparked by tabloids. First, he was banned for a Viking game. On November 18, 2014, he was suspended from all NFL activity. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service. because he carelessly or negligently injured a child in connection with an event on May 18, 2014. He was accused of using a branch. which he consistently described as a switch to his four-year-old son’s discipline. The images of severe sweating and bleeding on the child’s back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles were sparked by tabloids. First, he was banned for a Viking game. On November 18, 2014, he was suspended from all NFL activity. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service. which he consistently described as a switch to his four-year-old son’s discipline. The images of severe sweating and bleeding on the child’s back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles were sparked by tabloids. First, he was banned for a Viking game. On November 18, 2014, he was suspended from all NFL activity. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service. which he consistently described as a switch to his four-year-old son’s discipline. The images of severe sweating and bleeding on the child’s back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles were sparked by tabloids. First, he was banned for a Viking game. On November 18, 2014, he was suspended from all NFL activity. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service. He was suspended from all NFL activity in November 2014. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service. He was suspended from all NFL activity in November 2014. He was also placed on probation and fined $4000 by the jury. He also had to do 80 hours of community service.

• Michael Vick

Although Michael Vick’s crime was related to the dog, it was an inhumane act of the highest order. No doubt animal activists were furious at the New York Jets’ recent decision to hand the disgraced quarterback a $5 million contract. Some felt he should have received a lifetime ban instead of a fine and temporary ban. However, Vick’s supporters and those who felt the decision to give him a lifeline was the right one point to his exemplary performance since his return to justify the decision. In fact, he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the 2011 NFL Playoffs as NFC East Champions. He was selected to his fourth Pro Bowl and was named the 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year. However, all this seemed impossible

Vick acknowledged the brutality of the canines, which included horrifying acts like being hosed down, electrocuted, drowned, shot and even hanged. Most of the animals were pit bull terriers. During raids on his property, police also discovered a “rape booth” on which a female dog was strapped with her head strapped. She would then be raped by male dogs without resisting.

• Chris Brown

It’s been more than six years since pictures of Rihanna’s battered face were plastered all over the tabloids. And even in those six years, Chris Brown’s image and music career hasn’t fully recovered from the incident. Of course, the fact that Brown was involved in multiple fights and fights doesn’t help. He was recently stranded in the Philippines after an organization launched a fraud case against the singer for canceling a New Year’s Eve event.

Returning to Rihanna’s abuse and assault case, the incident happened on February 8, 2009, after Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party. The incident was allegedly provoked by an argument in which Rihanna accused Brown of infidelity after finding some clues in his phone. The altercation escalated into physical violence, leaving Rihanna with visible facial injuries that required medical attention. Brown was subsequently charged with the felony and making threats to commit a crime. He initially pleaded not guilty, but later pled guilty to about-turn and one felony, accepting a plea deal to community service, domestic violence counseling, and five years probation.

• Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is a perfect example of a classic adage that no amount of money can make you smart. Not only has he squandered a fortune of around $300 million over the years, but he’s also been involved in numerous unsavory incidents. The best-known are Desiree Washington’s rape allegations. In 1991, the 18-year-old beauty pageant winner accused the then heavyweight world champion of forcing himself on her. Washington testified in court that one night she received a call from the boxer inviting her to a party. She was subsequently raped by the boxer. Tyson’s bodyguard testified in favor of the model. He revealed she was in shock as she returned to the waiting limousine. Tyson was found guilty and sentenced to six years in prison. This wasn’t the first time Tyson had been accused of abuse. His first wife Robin Givens had previously described life with Tyson as “agony, pure hell, worse than anything I can imagine” in a bizarre national television interview, while Tyson watched with a calm expression.

• Ray Rice

NFL star Ray Rice’s domestic assault case was bizarre by all accounts. Rice was accused of brutally assaulting and abusing Janay Palmer, who was his fiancé at the time of the incident. The incident took place in an elevator at the Hotel Revel, and at the time of the incident they were both heavily intoxicated. In a physical altercation, Rice allegedly punched out his fiancé. In a leaked video, he was seen pulling Palmer out of an elevator after apparently kicking her out. Initially, the NFL was criticized for not taking adequate action. The organization of the game in his defense said they saw no evidence. However, soon the aforementioned video was released by TMZ and the rewind was released by the Baltimore Ravens. To everyone’s dismay and shock, Palmer, who married Rice six weeks after the incident, took to Instagram to criticize the NFL for her husband’s termination.

• OJ Simpson

The former San Francisco 49ers running backCurrently incarcerated at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada. His current incarceration is related to a 33-year sentence handed down by the Nevada Supreme Court in 2008 for robbery and kidnapping. However, his inclusion on this list is not due to this crime. He was the center of the famous murder case in which he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her boyfriend Ronald Goldman. Kim Kardashian’s father, Robert Kardashian, was Simpson’s attorney on the case. In fact, some people still believe Kardashian helped Simpson dispose of the murder weapon and bloodied clothes he wore to the crime. After a much-publicized process known as the “Process of the Century” was referred to, the jury ruled on October 3, 1995 that the two murders were “not guilty”. Around 100 million people across the country reportedly stopped their activities to watch or listen to the verdict.

• Robert Blake

Many believe that Robert Blake, who has had one of the longest acting careers in Hollywood, is a bright man. And according to some, he was smart enough to order a hit on his wife of one year, Bonnie Lee Bakley. On May 4, 2001, he took Bakley to an Italian dinner at a Studio City restaurant. And while she was waiting in the car, which was parked on a side street around the corner from the restaurant, she was shot in the head and killed. Blake claimed he returned to the restaurant to pick up a pistol that he had forgotten and was not present at the time of the shooting. Many thought it was a good story since the only weapon he owned could not be linked to murder. He was arrested and put on trial. Due to lack of evidence, who could link him to the crime, however, he was acquitted. Bakley’s three children filed a civil suit against Blake, claiming he was responsible for their mother’s death. Blake was ordered to give $30 million, but the amount was cut in half after an appeal.

• Michael Jackson

Child abuse allegations have done a great deal of damage to Michael Jackson’s legacy. He was first accused of abuse in 1993 by Jordie Chandler. He told police and a psychiatrist that Michael Jackson forced him into sexual activity. Chandler, who was 12 at the time, was Jackson’s close friend and they had spent a lot of time together at slumber parties. Eventually, the case was settled out of court after the singer agreed to pay $22 million to the boy’s controversial father, Evan Chandler. Many felt that Chandler’s decision to take money rather than press for a verdict on his son’s case was a major sign that Jackson was being falsely accused of money. Ten years later, Michael was again accused of molestation by a young cancer survivor. However, after a long and drawn out trial, Michael was found not guilty.
