Shailene Woodley In 2016 actress Shailene Woodley was arrested
in North Dakota while participating in a protest against an oil pipeline project.
Shailene recorded her arrest as it happened on livestream.
If you're not sure who Shailene is, think Divergent or The Fault in Our Stars or even,
The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
She hasn't got a lot of work in the last few years.
It may have to do with the fact that she went to a construction site with about 200 other
people to protest the pipeline, which was due to cross four states.
She was just one of 27 people arrested on charges of criminal trespassing and participating
in a riot.
It wasn't really much of a riot, more like an angry group of people who weren't interested
in having a pipeline rip up the sacred indigenous land and damage the environment.
The actress was just 24 years old when the cops arrested her.
As the arrest was happening, with 40,000 people watching her livestream, she said the cops
had singled her out because of her fame.
But in the end, she didn't really get in that much trouble.
Things are going pretty well for her nowadays anyway, and last we heard she’s dating football
star Aaron Rodgers.
She also hasn't gotten into any big trouble since the pipeline incident.

Ryan Coogler When Marvel's Black Panther came out, it was
an enormous hit across the globe.
This was partly because of how great of a director Ryan Coogler is.
He, the amazing actors, and everyone involved in the film made it a huge hit.
But in January of 2022, Ryan was arrested for attempting to rob a bank!
Wait, what!
Yes!
The director of one of the biggest movies of the past decade was apprehended by the
police when he requested $12,000 in cash from the teller at a Bank of America in Atlanta.
You can bet this never would have happened to Chadwick Boseman, may he rest in peace.
The problem with being a director is that even though your name is on the movie, nobody
really knows what you look like.
The bank teller definitely didn't know who she was dealing with when she called the cops
to report a robbery in progress.
It all started because Ryan handed her a note that said he wanted to withdraw the $12,000
from his checking account.
The note asked if she could count the money somewhere else as to be discreet.
We don't know why he wanted the money, but that's none of our business.
We also don't know why there was a black SUV with two people in it waiting for him outside.
Again, it's none of our business.
For some insane reason, the cashier thought she was being robbed.
Even though he asked her to take the money out of his checking account, she called the
police.
When the cops arrived, they put the director in handcuffs and arrested the people who were
waiting for him in the SUV outside.
Ryan was understandably upset.
He was in Atlanta filming the sequel to the first Black Panther when the arrest happened.
We don't know exactly what unfolded afterward, but know the Bank of America apologized profusely.
Ryan also said the bank worked with him to address the situation to his satisfaction,
presumably meaning he was handed a nice stack of cash for his troubles.

Lil’ Kim Lil’ Kim, the famous rapper, was sentenced
to spend one year and one day in prison back in 2005.
She was also given a fine of $50,000.
And it was all because she lied to a federal grand jury to protect a group of friends who
were involved in a shootout in 2001.
One year and one day might seem like a long time, but it was a lot better than the 20
years she very well could have gotten.
Her punishment was considered lenient.
The rapper's real name is Kimberly Jones.
The shooting she was involved with happened when her group crossed paths with a rival
group of rappers called Capone-N-Noreaga.
One of the songs the other group had recently released contained an insult to Lil’ Kim,
which was apparently enough to make them start shooting at each other.
It happened just outside the radio station Hot 97, with one man getting injured but nobody
actually dying.
When questioned about what happened, Lil’ Kim since she didn't know the men involved.
But it was a lie that was revealed by video footage showing them together, as well as
eyewitness reports.
Lying to the judge about a daylight shooting put Kimberly behind bars!

Oscar Pistorius Oscar Pistorius was labeled the most inspirational
man in the world in 2012.
He was the very first disabled man to run alongside able-bodied athletes at an Olympic
event.
He represented South Africa and actually came pretty close to winning.
He didn't win, but it was still historic.
He almost became an Olympian, even without proper use of his legs.
The one cool thing he did get out of it all was the nickname Blade Runner.
Alas, Oscar’s celebrity status came crumbling down the year after.
On Valentine's Day in 2013, he got into an argument with his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
She locked herself in the bathroom of their home in Pretoria.
As she was hiding from him behind the door, he pulled out his gun and shot four times
through the wood.
When he finally got the door open to see what kind of damage he'd done, Reeva was dead.
When questioned by the police, Oscar tried to lie.
He claimed an intruder broke into the house and shot his girlfriend.
The police didn't believe it for a second, and the investigation proved he was a liar.
He was initially sentenced to six years in prison but had that increased to 15 years
in 2017.
What other cases can you think of when a celebrity role model went so horribly, horribly wrong?

Devin Ratray In the 1990 movie Home Alone, Devin Ratray
played Kevin’s older brother, Buzz McAllister.
He hasn't been seen in much since then, a few shows here and there.
But in 2021, he found himself back in the spotlight in a big way for punching and strangling
his girlfriend.
At 44 years old, he was arrested and charged on one count of domestic assault and battery.
It happened on December 9, with police in Oklahoma City being called to the Hyatt Place
at around 3:00 o'clock in the morning.
When they got there, a woman told them Devin had beaten the snot out of her.
He threw her onto the bed, strangled her with one hand, while he used the other to cover
her mouth.
She bit his hand and struggled to get away, and that was when he started beating her.
It was a pretty vicious assault, yet the woman refused to press charges against him.
In the end, all the cops could do was make him leave and spend the night in another hotel.
There were no arrests made at the time.
It wasn't until the police were able to issue an arrest warrant that they could put him
behind bars.
He had his bond set at $25,000 and was released later that day.

Antony Starr The star of Amazon’s hit show The Boys was
arrested in Spain in 2022 for getting into a pub brawl.
He's not the main star of the show, but definitely one of them.
His name is even Antony Starr, so you know he's the real deal.
He’s the guy who plays Homelander, The Boys’ version of Superman.
Antony was in Spain shooting a new movie for Guy Ritchie, along with Jake Gyllenhaal, when
the event took place.
According to the local police, Antony – who is 46 years old, attacked a 21-year-old chef
at a pub!
This was no gentle attack of words either.
Antony punched the chef twice and then smashed a glass in his face!
The man was left bleeding and in need of stitches, and Antony was hauled off to jail.
The star was given a 12-month suspended prison sentence.
He was also fined just over $4000.
If you're not sure what a suspended sentence is, let us explain.
In Spain, any conviction of under two years is automatically suspended if the culprit
has no previous criminal record.
This means the sentence is considered already served.
Antony isn't actually in jail, and will get to go on filming his movie.

Tiffany Haddish Police officers in Georgia responded to a
911 call at about 2:30 in the morning on a Friday in January 2022.
They were called because a driver was discovered asleep at the wheel on the side of the road.
By the time an officer with Peachtree City came across the vehicle, the woman inside
had woken up.
The cop pulled the driver over as she was parking in the yard of some random house.
As it turned out, the driver was actor and comedian Tiffany Haddish, and she was wasted.
She was arrested and charged with a DUI and transported to the Fayette County jail
Tiffany has starred on a handful of TV shows, but her most famous role was probably in the
movie Girls Trip.
But for all her fame, Tiffany’s life is currently in shambles.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight that came out just before her arrest, she
admitted her life is a mess.
She said she's been crying a lot.
Her dog died.
One of her close friends died.
She was separated from her partner after a relationship of over a year.
And apparently, all of this culminated in a drunken night on the road, and passing out
at the wheel of her car.

David Koechner Even if you don't know his name, you definitely
know David Koechner’s face.
He played in The Office, he was in the Anchorman films, and he's been in countless other comedies.
You might know him as Todd Packer, or as Champ Kind.
But no matter which name you know him as, it turns out this guy is a criminal!
He was arrested on New Year's Eve 2022 for drunk driving in the middle of the afternoon
in Simi Valley, California!
According to what law enforcement told TMZ, they received a phone call from a concerned
citizen about an erratic driver.
David ran a stop sign in a residential neighborhood, crashed into a median, and then fled the scene.
Cops tracked down his SUV and gave him a field sobriety test, at which point they saw he
was 1.5 times the legal limit.
It wasn't even dark out yet and David was already wasted and cruising around.
He was booked and released later that day, and is scheduled to appear in Ventura County
Superior Court at the end of March.

The Celebrity Gardener Daniel Malgouyres was a famous celebrity in
France.
He was the most popular gardener in the entire country and the proud owner of the best garden
in France.
He wasn't exactly a movie star, but he was a pretty well-known guy.
He became even more well known in 2017 when he murdered a burglar during a bizarre extortion
attempt on his wife!
It happened on the evening of October 5.
The couple finished dinner and two men in hoods entered their property.
Daniel went outside because the dog was barking, followed by his wife Francoise.
There was an altercation with one of the thieves and Daniel fell into the grass, covered in
blood.
His wife was then subdued by the thugs and brought into the house.
Shortly after, they brought Daniel into the houses as well.
That was when they started making threats, saying they were going to beat Francois if
she didn't give them the code to their safe.
All the while, Daniel urged her to do what they said so that nobody got hurt.
She became suspicious and refused to give up the cash she had hiding in her safe, and
that was when Daniel shot one of the burglars at close range.
This was a very bizarre case.
Daniel had orchestrated the whole thing just to get the money from the safe for himself,
and to divide it with the burglars.
He'd hired them, with the help of a man named Richard Llop.
Richard was given eight years in prison for helping to organize the burglary.
The burglar who wasn't shot to death, Richard Bruno, was given seven years.
And finally, Daniel was sentenced to 18 years for murder at the age of 72.
And it was all so that he could get whatever his wife had hiding in her safe, even though
the couple was ridiculously wealthy and lived on a property bigger than most neighborhoods.

James Beeks Broadway actor James Beeks was arrested in
November of 2021 just before performing in Milwaukee.
He was part of the Jesus Christ Superstar tour, but also happened to have some connections
with the American extremist group called the Oath Keepers.
Why was James arrested?
He was apprehended in connection to the events that took place in Washington, DC, on January
6th.
He was part of the group that breached the US Capitol building.
His charges included obstruction of Congress and unlawfully entering a restricted building.
James probably didn't think he was going to get in much trouble considering a lot of time
had already passed.
Plus, he was doing very well for himself playing Judas in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
But for his participation in what happened that day in DC, his career has gone down the
toilet.
He was suspended from the tour and probably won't be getting much work in the future.
When you're part of a riot, you don't exactly come up on the short list for Broadway productions.
Thanks for watching!
Would you rather have the whole world know about all your dirty laundry or spend a month
in jail?
