Celebrity-hood is not only about being rich, famous and dodging the paparazzi; it’s also about ensuring that your dirty-laundry isn’t the talk of the town because well, the constant scrutiny by the media is something you can’t run or hide from.
And sometimes, the entire world is privy to some of the biggest sexcapades. Recently, renowned Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has got serious mud in his face after being accused of harassing several women over the course of 20 years. Let’s take a look at some other scandals that rocked the entertainment industry.
Orlando Bloom
Orlando Bloom was in a fix after his one-night-stand cost a waitress her job. Well, if you didn’t know about it, then here’s the gist.
Bloom stayed at the Chiltern Firehouse hotel for a couple of days when he took notice of waitress and aspiring actress, Viviana Ross. Sparks flew instantly between them after which he invited her to the suite he was staying at (after her shift got over). Bloom later checked out of the hotel room while the hotel manager found Viviana in the room after which her contract was reportedly terminated.
According to a few reports, Orlando called her up to apologize for the mess after their one night of wild passion. Also, Viviana has been recently spotted visiting the gym and has also been quoted saying how she doesn’t mind being ousted from the job because she really enjoyed the steamy session with Orlando. But this isn’t the only time stars have been under heavy scrutiny by the paparazzi.
Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s marriage was strained due to the infamous nanny-gate incident that shocked the celebrity world as much as their devoted fans.
