plead guilty to shocking charges
involving child pornography and underage
sex welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 celebrities known for their crime
rather than their career before we begin
we publish new videos every day so be
sure to subscribe for more great content
for this list we’re looking at celebrity
crimes that’s severely damaged or
completely overshadowed the careers of
those who committed them and to be clear
the celeb must have been convicted of at
least one crime number 10 Chris Brown
for a while it looked like the only
direction Chris Brown was heading was up
his debut album sold over 3 million
copies and his singles regularly topped
music charts around the world but in
2009 the singer songwriters reputation
was damaged when it was revealed that he
had physically assaulted his
then-girlfriend pop star Rihanna Brown
turned himself in and even enlisted the
help of a crisis management team to
protect his image however after Brown
pled guilty to felony assault even his
biggest fans had trouble forgiving him
though he has since released several
albums he hasn’t been able to escape the
shadow of his crimes number 9
Gary Glitter this British glam rocker
was well-known in the 70s especially for
his song rock and roll which became a
radio and sporting venue mainstay
[Music]
[Applause]
however the song and glitter himself
fell out of favor in 1999 when the
musician received a four month prison
sentence after being convicted of
downloading child pornography years
later in 2006 glitter was sent to prison
again for child sexual abuse but was
released in 2008 then in 2015 his career
was buried for good
after an attempted rape conviction
landed him in prison for the third time
this time for 16 years
needless to say his rockin days are over
[Music]
number 8
DMX this rapper has a criminal track
record as long as his discography with
charges ranging from tax evasion to
animal cruelty to drug possession DMX
has almost spent more time in a
courtroom than he has in the studio it
almost seems as though DMX has become a
case study on celebrity crime rather
than a rapper and songwriter considering
he allegedly owes almost two million
dollars in back taxes and is facing
fraud related charges that could land
him 44 years behind bars
it doesn’t look like X will be given it
to you anytime soon number 7 Lindsay
Lohan plagued by issues with alcoholism
and drug abuse this former child stars
life seems to have spiraled out of
control on more occasions than one
bouncing in and out of rehab and
battling charges for an infamous jewelry
theft DUI and drug possession Lohan’s
on-camera breakdowns have almost become
synonymous with her name however in
recent years the young starlet has
seemed to be a little steadier than
normal
fans can only hope that her legal
troubles have faded as she’s matured
that in the past was a gateway to other
things for me number six are Kelly
though he’s considered one of the most
successful R&B singers of his time the
horrific allegations and charges laid
against our Kelly cast a dark shadow
over his fame charged with battery at a
nightclub in 1996
Kelly’s rap sheet also includes more
serious allegations including marrying
an underage girl in secret
and having sexual relationships with
other young girls troubles for Kelly
continued when an alleged sex tape of
him urinating on and having sex with yet
another underage girl surfaced in the
end the musician was found not guilty on
all child pornography charges
but even so his rep is tarnished in the
eyes of many I have a video question for
you from a fan of video questions for me
because this interview is over number 5
Oscar Pistorius a former Paralympic
champion Pistorius made headlines across
the globe after the murder of his
girlfriend reeva Steenkamp after
claiming he’d shot and killed her
because he thought she was a burglar the
Sprinter was found guilty and sentenced
first to five years in prison then later
to six after a retrial and eventually to
15 years less time served
rumors began to fly about the once
successful and well-liked athlete after
South African Police admitted they’d had
dealings with him before the murder
smudging his golden boy reputation I can
confirm that has previously been
incidents at the home of his Oscar
Pistorius no longer solely known as an
inspirational sprinter Pistorius now
wears the label of murderer number 4
Aaron Hernandez in another case of pro
athlete turned murderer former New
England Patriots tight end Hernandez
experienced his fair share of run-ins
with the law
before his death in 2017 labelled a
person of interest in several shootings
and murders before his ultimate
conviction it wasn’t until the murder of
Odin Lloyd in 2013 that Hernandez was
found guilty with the Patriots issuing a
statement and releasing Hernandez only
90 minutes after he was arrested his NFL
career was over five days after he was
convicted
Hernandez committed suicide in his
prison cell number three Jerry Sandusky
okay these allegations are false a
convicted child molester and serial
rapist former Penn State football coach
Jerry Sandusky had his once positive
reputation blown out of the water when
one of his victims had the courage to
speak up when a former student of
Sandusky’s came forward with allegations
of sexual abuse
prompted many more of the ex coaches
victims to come forward with their own
stories launching a scandal I told him
if he didn’t get off me I was gonna call
the police on him and he just laughed at
me and you know forced me on the states
to stay on the bed and told me if I ever
said anything that nobody was gonna
believe me and he would get my dad fired
from Penn State Sandusky was sentenced
to 60 years in prison and was classified
a sexually violent predator for many
destroying any memory of what he’d done
in the football world
number two Phil Spector formerly working
with huge names and music like the
Beatles Leonard Cohen The Ramones and
the crystals Phil Spector isn’t
remembered today for the music he made
he’s remembered for the murder he
committed
killing actress Lana Clarkson in his
home in 2003 the gun obsessed Spector
vehemently denied all blame for the
incident calling it an accidental
suicide however after being convicted of
the murder Spector was sentenced to 19
to life in state prison the jury in the
above-entitled action find the defendant
Philip Spector guilty of the crime of
second-degree murder of Lana Corson he
may have been talented in a recording
studio but now the hits he produced are
simply no longer his claim to fame
number one Oh Jay Simpson though he
walked away from his infamous double
murder trial a free man with a not
guilty verdict Oh Jay Simpson will
forever be remembered for his time in
court not his time on the football field
despite the fact that he was once one of
the best running backs the NFL had ever
seen a popular spokesperson and even an
actor Oh Jays internationally
sensationalized criminal trial meant
that a large portion of the population
saw him as a criminal who’d escaped
justice we the jury in the
above-entitled action find the defendant
Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the
crime of murder in violation of Penal
Code section 187 but that changed when

kidnapping and armed robbery and sent to
jail until he was granted parole in 2017
