8 Times Celebrities Got Involved In Serious Scandals That Nobody Seems To Remember

Let's face it: celebrities frequently find themselves in sensational situations, making them the center of attention in the news cycle. When it comes to the Hollywood scene, there's always plenty to discuss, but some of these tragedies are undoubtedly more significant than others.

The biggest celebrity scandals of our time range from various types of adultery allegations to tragic and untimely demises. It's practically impossible to list every single instance in which celebrities have made headlines for their actions over the years, but these are the scandals you'll likely be telling your grandchildren about in the future.

And while we could certainly do without the heartbreakingly sad times, the shady controversies are at least mildly amusing. Since the 24-hour news cycle still lives up to its name and the wealthy continue to be themselves, nearly no one is able to keep up with the scandals that come at us so quickly these days.

Before you can fully absorb a news story about a Hollywood hottie who was caught red-handed emailing nude pictures to teenagers, you might as well receive a message from a top-tier CEO of a technology company saying that the poor should just eat their newborns. If you forgot, no one would hold it against you, so go ahead and enjoy this list.

1. After a violent fight about where they lived with his then-wife, Cage was arrested in New Orleans in 2011.

According to witnesses, he pulled her violently toward the rental house he claimed was their home and generally disturbed the peace. He was ultimately cleared of charges, but not before Dog the Bounty Hunter saved him, as the film needed to go crazier.

3. It was revealed after Paul Walker's death that he was living with a 23-year-old woman.

The problem is that the Fast movie star started dating her when she was just 16 years old. He once dated a 16-year-old when he was 28 years old.

Walker actually grew older while his mistresses remained the same age.

4. In 2018, Lohan released a live Instagram video of her harassing a homeless family in Moscow and trying to convince the kids to go with her.

Even the parents were reprimanded by her for not letting the kids leave with the first slurring stranger who offered them movies in a hotel room. In the end, Lohan appeared to reach for one of the kids and was struck by their mother.

She refused to comment on the incident, telling Paper Magazine that she was "too exhausted" to do so, although she was never charged.

5. Before he began humorously mocking men with weight disorders, a sex tape of Lowe with a 23-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl was made public.

7. McCartney traveled to Japan in 1980 with his band Wings and a sizable suitcase of marijuana, receiving a 7-year prison sentence.

He was eventually released and deported after serving just nine days, during which he led the other convicts in singalongs. When asked what the hell was going through his mind, he claimed that he was unconsciously motivated to break up the band, even though there seemed to be easier options.

8. Snoop Dogg faced a homicide trial as everyone seemed to agree that he wasn't even the one holding the gun.

The LAPD completely botched the investigation, and the stoner grandfather was represented by Johnnie Cochran, who had just won the O.J. case. Because of this, the prosecution never had a chance to present their case, but everyone laughed at the joke "Murder Was the Case."
