No mention of Bill Cosby???? I am surprised Bobby Brown didn't get a mention.
Really? R Kelly is probably one of the few stars who benefited from his/her arrest. Especially after Dave Chapelle's parody of the urination incident. It then became a punchline and Kelly got bigger than he already was. It didn't hurt that he put out spectacular music afterwards either. Maybe you should do a list about stars who came back from criminal mishaps.
Don't do X like that …. like forreal you made it seem like Lindsay did some light shit.
Fame and money makes people think their untouchable
Where's Cosby? Even if the allegations are false there's no reference to pudding pops without the thought of drugs and assault.
Chris Brown isn’t more known for beating Rihanna than his Career. I was a Superstar before the incident.
Leave Chris Brown alone.
Bill Cosby? Where's cill bosby
Jerry sandusky is not a celebrity!
Wht is dmx about to get more time than proven pedofiles? Because of tax evasion?
Media believes anything at this point.
Chris Brown for life
Chris brown might be known as the woman beater but bitches love it, don’t let ‘em lie to you.
Oscar Pistorius is still an inspirational figure to many people. may his appeal to the Constitutional Court of South Africa be heard soon & may it be granted reinstating his 6 year prison sentence.
Lindsay Lohan shouldn't be here
How is Chris Brown known more for his crime?
We all knew O.J was gonna be #1
i knew a dude i met on a online game all this fucking dude would talk about is jerry sandusky not being guilty. idk what his obession was with him…
What about Jeffrey Jones? awkward collar tugging
#1 was obvious
Looks like people won't ever let Chris slide.
That underage girl that R. Kelly married was R&B singer Aaliyah.
I forgot all about Chris Brown until I saw this video. I haven't heard from him in a long time, what has he been up to? The last time I heard from him was when he got into a fight with Drake at a club(I might be wrong). He made great music. Do you guys think Bill Cosby should be on the list?
Bill Cosby?
No one cares about DMXs crimes I care about "X gon give it to ya" and "bark bark"
Ugh I don't like Oscar P. Kick rocks….oh.
I actually remember Lohan as a child actress. She shouldn't be on the list. Chris Brown, should be way higher. Never knew about him until the Rihanna incident. At least you got OJ in the right place.
Yea I just knew people would defend Chris brown in the comments
What about bill Cosby?
Harvey Weinstein?
DMX is massively respected in the rap industry
I don't understand why you all can't move on from Chris Brown's incident when both he and Rihanna clearly have, I mean they literally dated again a few years after the incident so there's obviously no hard feelings between them and they are friends to this day. So why is it being hung on him still like it's your problem?
The Chris brown and Rihanna thing was terrible but he was 18 and she hit him first and was scratching his cd with his music on it. She throw his keys out the car she bit him but the only thing we talk about is how bad of a person he is and how much of a victim Rihanna is. Me personally I would never hit a women unless my life or kids life was in danger. But most of y'all criticizing him are the same mutherfuckers who talk about double standards. Crazy tens years later we are still talking about that. After they forgave each other. Either move on or don't listen to his shit.
Well hey i think the amount of people deffending chris brown and his music kinda… mutes your point of his crime being bigger than his career. And i really think there are more people who have heard of chris brown through hearing his songs randomly on the radio then them hearing about his crimes lol. Its not something everyone talks about or knows
R. Kelly shouldn't be on this list…. I hear more people talk about his music than his past allegations. Dumb list.
Personally, I think O.J. Simpson should have remained in prison and it is because he didn't pay the more than $33.3 million dollars for having been LIABLE for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. Shame on that pathetic individual who has NOT learned his lesson.
I bet Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson are gonna be on this list
I swear to god, watchmojo likes hearing the 'not guilty' verdict of OJ as everytime he's featured on their lists, that voice comes up!
NWA?
If rihiana forgive him and accept his apology leave the man alone they both were wrong for what they did riri also got an history of being violent even her father said it. Yall getting mad over something that happen 10 years ago when both of them were still teenagers you dont hear cb beat any women since then. What about charlie sheen aka carlos estrevez got ab history of beating women WOMEN and shot john travolta future wife in the 90s but yall worship him like a god and feel bad for him since got hiv but seem like half of yall forgot about his violent history. And all the feminazis including the feminazi reporters like nancy grace and jane veldz mitchell saying riri is co dependent on cb and got bater woman syndrome and stupid to forgave and still being friends with cb but none of them say shit about denise richards who was once married to sheen and got abused by him i remember on an interview she said that she and sheen are still friends and co parenting their kids but i dont hear the feminazis calling her co dependent, bater woman syndrome and other bullshit. Hypocrisy at its finest. Rant over
Where my dogzzz at???
how do you miss Lee Harvey Oswald?
For now on let stay away from the bad people! So we won't get in trouble!
