Celebrities seem to land themselves in hot water all the time, but why aren’t they learning from each other’s mistakes? It seems that the media storm that comes hand in hand with a run in with the law is pretty satisfying and sometimes funny to celebs who take the wheel under the influence. If you aren’t clued up on some of the most shocking and unexpected celebrities that have a DUI, then here are a few you should know about.
John Stamos
The handsome actor who who stole hearts as Uncle Jesse in 90’s sitcom ‘Full House’ joined the unlucky group of Hollywood stars in 2015. He was spotted driving like a crazy person around the famous zip code, 90210. He was caught, taken to hospital and then checked into rehab shortly after. If you are unaware about the protocols when it comes to drunk driving you might want to learn about The Zeiger Firm, who can represent anybody who is involved in a road accident. Making bad choices can happen to the best of people, but if you know how to deal with the aftermath, you will always be one step ahead.
Khloe Kardashian
Famously in 2007 Khloe, one of the Kardashian sisters was arrested for driving under the influence. Most families wouldn’t find this a laughing matter, but a photo of Khloe’s mugshots seems to be kept on display in her manager Kris Jenner’s home. Are they proud of her? Khloe was taken to jail at the scene, but was then released a couple of hours later due to overcrowding. It’s definitely a shocking case when the family can make a mockery out of it!
Mischa Barton
Hollywood starlet and former sweetheart has a run in with the DUI police in December 2007, when she was taking up two lanes of traffic and failed to use the correct signals. It turns out she didn’t have a valid licence to drive anyway and was arrested at the scene. It’s amazing how money and fame can get you straight out of jail; just a $10,000 bail and she was right outta there!
Nicole Richie
Another good girl gone wild is Paris Hilton’s former best friend Nicole Richie. She was booked for a DUI back in 2006, but was released less that two hours later. Nicole was also driving whilst speaking to someone on the phone, which is double whammy danger for those on the streets in the early hours.
Justin Bieber
When Justin Bieber’s innocent looking face hit the headlines a few years ago, fans were completely shocked. He was not only driving under the influence, but he also didn’t have a valid licence. It turns out Bieber was tested positive for marijuana and prescription anti-depressant pills. After a quick anti-drugs campaign Justin Bieber was then let off the hook.
What can be learned from these reckless young drivers? That fortune and fame can get you out of a lot of trouble, that’s for sure!
