People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget Many people (choose to) think Chris Brown just slapped Rihanna once. He strangled her, bit her fingers and ear, slammed her head against the dashboard and window (yeah he was DRIVING while doing this, the police report says Rihanna could feel the car swerving) and said he was going to kill her when they got home. He had, in a previous argument, thrown her against a wall. He beat her in the car because she discovered he was talking to an ex and wouldn't drop the issue. He only stopped because she began screaming for help. He left her screaming in the car and ran home. Nobody came to help her, one person called 911 from their house nearby after hearing her screams.

Does it really matter how many times he hurt her, where and how? One time is bad enough in my book.

People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget While R. Kelly has finally been convicted and sentenced for his crimes, he got away with horrible behavior for decades. His grooming of Aaliyah was a well-known fact in Hollywood. The New Yorker referred to their relationship when Aaliyah was underage as "an open secret," pointing out that their marriage (which was later annulled) made headlines at the time. Yet Kelly went on to have a huge career in music, despite police investigations into his sexual abuse and a trial for child sexual abuse images after an alleged sex tape with an underage girl surfaced.

Journalists have suggested that multiple figures in the music industry were complicit in Kelly's ongoing misconduct and abuse, or at the very least aware.

People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget Bill O'Reilly sexually harassed his secretary for a long time. He would call her and masturbate over the phone... She eventually sued, and Bill paid a lot of money to make the bad press go away. This was right around the time Bill was writing books telling people how to live their lives.

People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget R&B singer Michel'le has publicly accused Dr. Dre (with whom she shares a child) of beating her so badly that she had to get plastic surgery on her nose to repair the damage. In the Season 1 reunion special of R&B Divas: Los Angeles, when host Wendy Williams pointed out that she had to be referring to Dr. Dre, Michel'le replied, "He knows it. That was very public," and said he often gave her black eyes right before she'd shoot music videos. According to Michel'le, they also started a relationship when she was only 17.

People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge, leaving his pregnant mistress to drown. He took a shower, shaved, slept, and then reported the accident. At least he died slowly and painfully from brain cancer.

The Chappaquiddick incident occurred on July 18, 1969, in which Mary Jo Kopechne, a female passenger of U.S. Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy, was killed when he accidentally drove his car off a bridge and into a tidal channel on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts. Kennedy swam free and left the scene, not reporting the accident within nine hours, but Kopechne died in the vehicle. In the early hours of July 19, Kopechne's body and the car were recovered. Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury and received a two-month suspended jail sentence. The incident became a national scandal, and may have influenced Kennedy's decision not to campaign for President of the United States in 1972 and 1976. from wikipedia

Kennedy family has more the dirty "secrets" than this. The patriarch, Joseph was sympathizing with the Nazis and had deals with the mob that helped John to be elected. He also forced his daughter, Rosemary to have lobotomy that also made her severely handicapped. JFK as a Senator supported McCarthy's witch hunt and he had sex serious addiction.

People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget Tippi Hedren, who worked with Alfred Hitchcock on multiple films, recounted how Hitchcock tried to kiss her and made inappropriate remarks on the set of Marnie. When she refused his sexual advances, he allegedly promised to ruin her career. He then kept her under contract so she couldn't work with another studio and refused to offer her large projects.

People Share 20 Messed-Up “Secrets” About Stars And Executives That They Think We Shouldn’t Forget Director Abdellatif Kechiche was accused of horrific behavior on the set of Blue Is the Warmest Color. Stars Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos spoke about the horrible shooting conditions and revealed that their famous sex scene took 10 days to film. Exarchopoulos called Kechiche manipulative and revealed that in the fight scene, they were really hitting each other, at Kechiche's request. At one point, Seydoux had to push Exarchopoulos out a glass door, and she says Exarchopoulos got cut and was bleeding everywhere and crying, but Kechiche just said, "No, we're not finished. We're doing it again." Later, Seydoux told the Independent that filming the sex scenes was humiliating.

As much as it counts he expressed his regret about the car accident (that wasn't a stunt she was just driving on a road) and they seem to make up. Thurman's daughter was in Tarantino's last movie.
