Have you thought about putting yourself in a celebrity’s shoes? You must be thinking it feels good. Fame makes you feel like there’s a reason to throw a party every day.
But try to look at the other side of the coin. Being a star means being chased by cameras every time. Imagine seeing people you don’t know follow you wherever you go.
That is why when it comes to TV personalities, secrets are not really secrets. Even the darkest ones they try to hide are slowly unfolded. As an example, here are celebrities you didn’t know committed terrible crimes.

Eight years later, he was sent into a rehab after overdosing on cocaine, which unfortunately didn’t have good results. In 2009, he also faced charges after assaulting his wife, Brooke Bueller. Some time in 2010, he was forced to leave a hotel after damaging some properties.
