19 Stars Who Have Been Accused of Domestic Violence

Celebrity domestic violence occurs even in the most seemingly-stable relationships. Check out 19 celebrities who were either charged with, or accused of, domestic violence against their partners.   Hollywood violence knows no gender, age, or reason, and some of these allegations are gonna curl your toes. Who dragged his partner with a car? Who beat someone's face in so badly she needed to be hospitalized? Whose own mother and sister accused this superstar, award-winning actor of physical abuse? Things are about to get real deep and dark in here, so we hope you have a flashlight, a blanket, and a box of tissues, because ugh .  Also, hey, can someone remind these asshats that violence is never the answer? That could be pretty helpful, all things considered.  1. Chris Brown Chris Brown was arrested and placed on probation for assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, who had to be hospitalized — her injuries were that bad. 2. Johnny Depp Depp’s wife, Amber Heard, filed a restraining order — and then divorce papers! — on the grounds that he abused her throughout their marriage. Among other things, Heard alleged that Depp smashed an iPhone into her face, resulting in bruising. 3. Columbus Short Columbus Short of ‘Scandal’ fame reportedly attacked his wife, and then threatened to kill her. And himself. And WTF is wrong with him? 4. Joe Budden Rapper Joe Budden was arrested after reportedly choking his former (pregnant!) girlfriend, as well as intentionally sitting on her stomach. She miscarried shortly after the reported attack. The best part of Budden ran down…never mind. 5. Bobby Brown Bobby Brown was long rumored to have physically — as well as mentally — abused the late Whitney Houston. 6. Sean Penn Penn reportedly — and repeatedly — was accused of assaulting ex-wife, Madonna. In 2015, Madonna came clean about the abuse, saying that Penn “never struck” her. View Slideshow

Jim Carrey: SUED For Wrongful Death, Accused of Giving Cathriona White STDs

Back in September of 2015,  Jim Carrey’s former girlfriend Cahtriona White committed suicide. Now, Carrey finds himself at the center of a legal battle involving White’s death that could have severe and lasting consequences for the beloved comedian. White’s mother, Brigid Sweetman, and her widower, Mark Burton (the couple was estranged during White’s relationship with Carrey), have both filed wrongful death suits against Carrey . Burton had previously claimed that Carrey provided White with the drugs that she took in order to intentionally overdose. And indeed, there is evidence to suggest that the pills White used to take her own life were prescribed to Carrey under a pseudonym often used by the actor. Shortly thereafter, Burton doubled down on his claims, insisting that White made the decision to commit suicide after learning that Carrey had given her three STDs . Last month, Burton filed the first wrongful death suit against Carrey. Perhaps motivated by his example, Sweetman has now filed her own suit against Carrey. Like Burton, Sweetman believes that Carrey broke up with White shortly after she found out she had contracted Chlamydia and two types of herpes. The plaintiffs believe White confronted Carrey and he ended their relationship after accusing her of contracting the diseases while cheating on him. In her suit, Sweetman quotes Carrey as saying, “You have become too much drama” to White when he dumped her. White’s mother takes things a step further than Burton, accusing Carrey of intimidating the 28-year-old into keeping silent after their breakup. Sweetman says Carrey’s use of “fixers” to threaten her daughter helped contribute to the stress that led to White’s suicide. She adds that Carrey shamed her and called her a “whore” upon learning that she had been diagnosed with multiple STDs. Just weeks after that confrontation, White overdosed on Ambien, Propranolol and Percocet, all three of which she is believed to have obtained from Carrey. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten Burton adds that Carrey promised to help take care of White’s family financially, but never followed through. TMZ and several other media outlets have attempted to reach Carrey for a comment, but the actor is not speaking to the press at this time.

Nancy O’Dell Breaks Silence, Responds to Donald Trump Scandal

Nancy O’Dell finds herself at the center of a political scandal. The television personality turned down Donald Trump’s sexual advances over a decade… … only for that decision to become public knowledge after a video went viral this week in which Trump bragged about trying to bed O’Dell. The footage, which was filmed in 2005, features Trump and Billy Bush on an Access Hollywood bus, driving to the set of Days of Our Lives and talking in very lewd fashion. They are wearing microphones, but are unaware the microphones are on; or “hot,” to use industry lingo. It’s unclear who released the video to The Washington Post or how long that individual had been sitting on it, but it’s very clear what Trump and Bush are discussing. At one point in the back-and-forth, Trump says of a woman named Nancy: “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. I did try and f-ck her. She was married.” It didn’t take long for the married woman who rejected Trump to be identified as Nancy O’Dell (who Trump reportedly tried to fire as Miss USA Pageant host in 2007. Hmmm… we wonder why.) We can’t imagine O’Dell ever thought this incident would resurface all these years later, but here we are. And here’s what she has to say about it: “Politics aside, I’m saddened that these comments still exist in our society at all. When I heard the comments yesterday, it was disappointing to hear such objectification of women. “The conversation needs to change because no female, no person, should be the subject of such crass comments, whether or not cameras are rolling.” O’Dell is 50 years old and is now the co-anchor of Entertainment Tonight. Donald Trump: Caught Making VERY Lewd Comments She continued: “Everyone deserves respect no matter the setting or gender. “As a woman who has worked very hard to establish her career, and as a mom, I feel I must speak out with the hope that as a society we will always strive to be better.” Both Bush and Trump have since apologized for their conversation, which also depicted the two men degrading Days of Our Lives actress Arianne Zucker. The footage also included Trump saying that he often just “grabs” the “pussy” of a woman and it’s totally acceptable because he’s a “star.” “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” he tells Bush. “Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed,” Bush said. “It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago – I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry.” Trump, meanwhile, initially dismissed the talk as being mere “locker room” banter, only to then issue a longer apology in video form . You can watch it here: Donald Trump Apologizes for Words About Women “I never said I’m a perfect person nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret and the words released today on the more than decade-old video are one of them. “Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.” In the wake of this scandal, numerous Republicans have pulled their support for Trump. Many have also called for Trump to drop out of the Presidential race entirely. But he’s made it clear that this won’t be happening. View Slideshow: Celebrities React: Donald Trump, Billy Bush Conversation Leaked There’s a second debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton scheduled for Sunday night. It should be… interesting, that’s for certain.

Maci Bookout MARRIES Taylor McKinney!

They do, Teen Mom OG fans! They really do! Despite horrible weather in Florida, as a result of Hurricane Matthew, Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney went ahead and got married in Greenville on Saturday afternoon. The MTV star gushed over the ceremony and her new status in a discussion afterward with Us Weekly. “I am so excited because I don’t use the word ‘fiancé’ because I think it’s kind of silly!” Bookout told the tabloid . “So I’m excited to finally be able to call him my husband.” According to this same magazine, Bookout wore a Riki Dalal Haute Couture gown for the special occasion. The couple is familiar to those who watch Teen Mom OG online or on television every week. They share a 16-month old daughter named Jayde and a four-month old son named Maverick. Together, Bookout and McKinney also parent the former’s seven-year-old son Bently, who she created with with ex-fiance Ryan Edwards together. Us Weekly reports that Maci and Taylor wrote their own vows and exchanged them inside a beautiful chapel in front of about 165 of their closest friends and family members. The rustic-themed ceremony, which Bookout says was “very traditional” and “religious” was officiated by the 25-year old star’s pastor grandfather. “[It was] really special,” she tells Us. We’d have to imagine. What a cool personal touch. Ready for your first look at the newlyweds as husband and wife? Here you go: Here is what else we know about the Maci Bookout wedding: It took place at the Honey Lake Resort and featured floral arrangements by Missy Gunnels Flowers. The DJ was Barnaby Xaphakdy. In lieu of the customary layered cake, those in attendance dined on a tiered display of delicious doughnuts by Katie’s Cakes & Catering, Inc. Prior to the reception, Bookout and McKinney had their first dance to John Legend’s emotional 2013 ballad “All of Me.” We strongly approve of that selection. Originally a featured player on 16 & Pregnant, Bookout and McKinney had been dating for nearly four years when they got engaged back in January. The proposal was featured on the season 6 premiere Teen Mom OG, which kicked off in August. Where are they going from here? To the Caribbean for a honeymoon, Bookout tells Us Weekly. “We’re going for seven nights, eight days,” she says. “So eight days with no children and beer and a beach, it’s going to be awesome. I’d say by day five, though, we’re probably going to be missing the kids a lot! “But we’ll try to enjoy it.” We have a feeling they’ll succeed.

Sara Ramirez Comes Out as Bisexual

Sara Ramirez has made a major admission about her personal life: She is bisexual. The actress, best known for her long-running role as Callie Torres on Grey’s Anatomy, made this admission on Saturday in Los Angeles at the 40 To None Summit. This is what Ramirez said to those in attendance at the event: “So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections, whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status. “And because of the intersections that exist in my own life – woman, multiracial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican & Irish sides – I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth’s voices to be heard.” Ramirez went on to say that she wants to “support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to.” Following the appearance, Ramirez shared the quote on Twitter and Instagram. She also wrote the following: “#40ToNoneSummit #SpeakingMyTruth! Will post full video of speech soon! #ThankYou @TrueColorsFund #WomanOfColor #Bisexual #Queer #Immigrant.” In a separate Tweet, the beloved TV star added: ”#ThankYou @TrueColorsFund 4 the work you do 2 end #LGBTQ #YouthHomelessness & your support #Woman #Latinx #Bisexual #Intersectionality.” Ramirez is married to Ryan DeBolt. They wed in 2012. She came on board Grey’s Anatomy full-time on Season 2 of the ABC series. At that time, she served as a love interest to George O’Malley, but she eventually married a fellow female doctor a few years after George was killed in a bus accident. So this ended up being an example of art mirroring real life. The 40 to None Summit was named after the 40 percent of youth experiencing homelessness who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The actress left Grey’s Anatomy after 10 years this past May, a move that surprised show creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes. “This one was different because it wasn’t a big planned thing,” Rhimes said at the Vulture Festival in NYC on May 22 of Ramirez departing. “I had a different plan going and when Sara came in and said, ‘I really need to take this break,’ I was lucky that we’d shot the end of the season with her going to New York.” We wouldn’t be surprised if Ramirez returns to the series at some point. We congratulate her on this brave announcement. She joins the following celebrities as stars who are out as bisexual: View Slideshow: 34 Bisexual Celebrities

Nancy O’Dell Revealed as Woman in Lewd Donald Trump Tape; Journalist Nearly Fired by Mogul

The married woman Donald Trump spoke of trying to f–k in a lewd 2005 video released yesterday has been identified as Nancy O’Dell. A woman who, it turns out, Trump tried to get fired two years later when she got pregnant and was co-hosting his Miss USA pageant. In a Friday-night segment on Access Hollywood, the program addressed Trump’s campaign scandal involving former host Billy Bush. The Republican presidential candidate was on the entertainment program as he prepared to film a cameo on the soap Days of Our Lives . Behind the scenes, Bush and Trump can be heard on a “hot” mic they didn’t know was recording them as they made very lewd comments. “There were seven other people on the bus with Mr. Trump and Billy Bush at the time,” host Natalie Morales said of the incident. A camera crew, Trump’s security guard and publicist were there, she said, and Nancy O’Dell is the unnamed woman Trump was referring to. The now-infamous recording in question appears below: Donald Trump & Billy Bush: Lewd Comments Caught on Video The Washington Post posted the tape yesterday. On it, the thrice-married, then 59-year-old  Trump boasts of trying to f–k a married woman who he “moved on like a b-tch” only to be rebuffed. Bush and others laughed heartily as the real estate mogul described taking O’Dell furniture shopping and trying in vain to get in her pants. Ultimately, despite how hard he “tried to f–k her,” he just “couldn’t get there,” Trump laments. Hey, you win some, you lose some, right? Trump also boasted that when you’re a “star,” you can grope women (“grab them by the p-ssy” even), consequence-free. They let you! The fallout from this was so bad, even by Trump standards, that his presidential campaign – already on life support – did the unthinkable: Donald Trump Apologizes for Words About Women Last night, Trump apologized for the comments ! Granted, Billy Bush’s apology was more prompt and sincere, and Trump still qualified his by saying it’s not that big of a deal in the end. He also threw in the quasi-defense that Bill Clinton is an even bigger pig anyway, which is both dubious and not really relevant here. Still, a mea culpa from Donald at all is notable. It remains to be seen if he can weather the storm in time to pull off an election upset of Hillary Clinton, but this story is far from over. In fact, it continues to snowball by the hour. O’Dell, who Trump later said changed her look and opted for “the big phony ti-s and everything,” crossed paths with him two years later. In a surprising revelation (or maybe not surprising), he apparently took issue with her in a professional context because of her appearance.  The TV personality was named the host of the 2007 Miss USA pageant by NBC, despite the concerns of Trump, who owned the event. The businessman tried, but ultimately failed at having her removed from her contracted post because he was dismayed by her baby bump. According to insiders, Trump didn’t want a pregnant woman hosting the show, but because of O’Dell’s contract with NBC, failed to oust her. O’Dell, 50, gave birth to her daughter Ashby that year; Nancy and second husband Keith Zubchevich have been married since 2005. Prior to that marriage, the current  Entertainment Tonight co-host was married to her first husband, Dr. Richard O’Dell, from 1994-2004. It’s unclear when Trump’s advances took place.

Mark Salling: Horrific Details of Child Porn Charges Revealed

It was in December of last year when actor Mark Salling, best known for his work on Glee, was arrested on child pornography charges . At the time, it was reported that “hundreds of images” were found on Mark’s computer, and that a girlfriend of Mark’s tipped the police off about the deeply disturbing photos. After the arrest, he was booked and his bail was set at $20,000. He paid soon after and was released. In May, Mark was indicted on two charges of child pornography, and with each charge, he could be facing up to 20 years in prison. This time, Mark’s bail was $100,000, and when he was released he was required to wear a bracelet that monitored his location. He was also ordered to avoid all contact with children. Mark is set to appear in court on November 7th, but in the meantime, certain court documents have been released, and these documents detail the evidence against him Be warned: the following information is graphic and remarkably terrible. According to the documents, there are around 100,000 pages of evidence of Mark’s crimes. Yes, you read that right: 100,000 pages. “The government has produced discovery to the defense, including 100,000 pages of reports, photographs and forensic examination results,” it seems. “Several digital devices containing images of child pornography” are also said to exist. But still, it gets worse. Mark allegedly had a video in his possession that was said to show a five-year-old performing a sex act. It surely doesn’t get more sickening than that, and if it does, we certainly can’t handle hearing about it. As we said, Mark is due in court next month. With any luck, justice will be swift and fair, and Mark will face the consequences for his truly heinous actions. What an awful, awful tragedy.

Kristen Stewart: Nude Scenes Don’t Scare Me!

For the record, Kristen Stewart will NOT be appearing on the series finale of The Vampire Diaries. Don’t believe  everything you read . Some of it is nutty. But here is something true about the actress that you may find surprising: She takes many layers of clothing off in the upcoming film Personal Shopper and she engages in some sex on screen. Stewart has never exactly shied away from being edgy, but she’s clearly come a very long way from The Twilight Saga as well. What did she think about her nudity in the movie? Was she at all scared to pretend to make love on screen? “I wasn’t apprehensive,” Stewart tells W Magazine about the role and all it entailed, adding: “I feel super great with director Olivier [Assayas], as well. The scenes in which I don’t have clothes on or the scenes that seem ‘risque’ from an outsider’s perspective, there was no acknowledgment on his part.” The movie was shot in Paris and was helmed by a French filmmaker, prompting the actress to note that Americans “are weirder” about sexuality than Europeans. It’s probably a valid point. “You kind of have to take yourself personally out of it,” she explains. “My personal feeling about that is that I’m really unashamed, but within the context of the story, there’s a lot of shame. “She lives and breathes f-cking shame and guilt. And so it’s kind of nice to see someone stripped and bare, totally bare.” Stewart went on to contend that sex scenes can be empowering for actresses, but also acknowledged the following: “There’s an aspect of sexuality in the movie that’s so lonely and that is just one of the saddest things.” Personal Shopper is described on IMDB as a “ghost story” that centers on the “fashion underworld in Paris.” Color us very intrigued. Stewart is front and center on the movie’s poster, as you can see here: “There’s just something so f-cking raw about it,” Stewart says of the role, expounding on female nudity in general: “I think people are way, way, way too precious about that.” The actress concludes: “I still want women’s bodies and the way they want to reveal them, it should be a precious thing, I don’t want to de-sexualize it in some way. But at the same time, I’m not weird about it. I’m pretty open. I think people are a little too f-cking weird about it, to be honest, but that’s kind of why I was like, ‘I’ll do it.”
