Dark Secrets of Celebrity Lives

believe it or not fame and fortune don't always come with a clean slate some of the most well-known celebrities have very dark secrets oh my God I can't believe it and some of these secrets involve very deadly consequences in this video we'll be going over some celebrities you may or may not know who have killed people and some in ways you'd never expect and some of these were not criminally charged While others were pure accidents however this shows that even accidents have lifechanging results ones that lead to Deaths crime conspiracy Cults serial killers and murder all things that I love to consume and I know you do too you sick twisted little beautiful intellectually minded freak and today we are talking about just that we are talking about celebrities we love celebrities celebrities we gobble up we gobble up all the drama and whatnot and we idolize them we look up to them they're like these anomalies that are Untouchable but even they can make mistakes so let's talk about it without further Ado let's unbuckle our seat belts go mock five down the highway slam on the brakes and bust through this windshield into these criminal celebrities [Music] together Ryan Grantham originally bestn known for his work on Diary of a Wimpy Kid to eventually reaching bigger shows like Riverdale Supernatural and I zombie however he would later be known for something much more Sinister and it wouldn't be on a movie set all right before I get into this I need to put my fcking glasses on I can't see [ __ ] all right so Grantham lived with his mother Barbara we who was a very supportive and integral figure in his life and his father who was quite absent left his mother at the center of his day-to-day life and she was very supportive of his acting life as he started to get larger and larger roles starting off as a child star in the industry what could go wrong right a lot however as he got older it became harder to get more and more roles as is the business enacting and this may or may not have inadvertently caused some mental health struggles for Grantham which we now know from a personal diary that was found he would write in this diary about how much he hated himself showing his deteriorating psychological State before the crime was committed so on March 31st 2020 in Squamish British Columbia weird shout out to BC right now Ryan Grantham carried out a premeditated murder while his 64-year-old mother was playing piano he approached her from the back and would shoot her in the head with a 2020 caliber rifle and this act of cold and calculated murder was something he had rehearsed beforehand afterwards he used a a GoPro to film his dead mother on the ground admitting to the murder in a recorded confession and he did Express regret knowing what he had done and his mind was completely made up however that wasn't the only murder he wanted to commit and this is where it gets crazy after her death he didn't call the police instead he spent some time at home and set up in unusual scene he positioned his mother's body on the floor covering her in a sheet and surrounding her with candles so obviously a a very obvious uh Act of remorse which like little too late little too late then he would go to his car and prep it and fill his car with weapons ammunition aot of of cocktails and camping gear what he had planned was to kill the prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau however in an unusual change of heart he instead would just drive aimlessly around with all of the stuff in his car and eventually he thought of heading towards Simon Fraser University to do a mass which is just horrifying to think about but yet again thankfully he decided not to and began to just drive again aimlessly and it was much later and he realized that neither of these plans seemed viable to which he drove himself and turned himself into The Vancouver Police Station and he would tell them that he had killed his mother and they would arrest him and later in March 2020 he would plead plead guilty to first-degree murder for life with no chance of parole until 14 years later and most of the information before was learned at the court case including the GoPro video and his diary which explained his mental health Decline and the regret he felt for killing his mother and the video was around 4 minutes long detailing what he was going to do it's really sad to hear and it shows he was going through clinical depression in the months leading up to the murder he was feeling urges of wanting to cause harm to others and as reported he had been watching gore videos on the dark web as well which also just helped fuel his urges and he himself was wanting to take his own life and just feeling intense feelings of self-hatred so just a really extremely sad situation and the reason for killing his mother was basically to save her from the crimes he was going to commit so he felt like so guilty for the crimes he wanted to commit which would be the murder of Justin Trudeau and potentially a mass shooting at Simon Fraser University he wanted to save her from going through seeing her son doing that basically which I mean obviously is is so messed up and wrong um but there's just a little it's just it's just sad it's just really really sad yeah just a a really heartbreaking story and a very recent story as well but that brings us to our next celebrity which is Matthew broadrick so have you seen the movie inspector Gadget used to be one of my faves well then you absolutely know who this guy is and Inspector Gadget was kind of a kind of a terrible example also by the way he does have a much more extensive portfolio what you should know him from was from his most popular performance which was Ferris bu's day off another one of my favorites growing up this guy was basically the childhood of anyone born before 2004 or at least should have been cuz those movies are fantastic but this guy did not just skip school he literally he literally killed he killed people which is crazy to think about berer but born on March 21st 1962 in Manhattan New York City his starting career had him climbing the ladder jumping into films his first big hit was the movie War Games in 1983 I never watched it where he was finally establishing himself on the map and then of course his biggest film arguably Ferris buer day off in 1986 however just a year later he would cause a terrible accident on August 5th 1987 broadrick was traveling with his co-star and also girlfriend Jennifer Gray in Northern Ireland and Jennifer Gray for those of you who don't know was uh baby in the corner nobody puts baby in the corner Dirty Dancing that baby and supposedly while driving a rented car he drove on the wrong side of the road why and some articles say it was because of weather conditions however I think the story makes more sense just because he was confused he is an American after all so maybe he just didn't immediately think that he was driving on the wrong side of the road like cuz the roads are opposite there so he was driving on the wrong side of the road but it was the right side of the road for him if you know what I mean obviously not not even a little bit of an excuse for what was to happen but you know arguably that may may have been the reason but because of this error he had a headon collision with another car which killed two passengers Margaret D who was 63 and Anna Gallagher who was 28 and broadrick did not lose his life but suffered a fracture to his leg and his ribs a concussion and a collapsed lung getting off easy compared to the other two passengers and his passenger gray got severe Whiplash again got off extremely easy comparatively and after the crash she would obviously be questioned by police who stated he had no recollection of the crash or why he was on the wrong lane to begin with and he then was initially charged with causing death by dangerous driving however he would somehow avoid this charge instead he would receive a much lesser punishment for careless driving and find around $175 $175 for two people's lives it I'm just speechless from that but a sentence that could have landed him in prison he instead received just a small fee basic a parking ticket fee basically and this obviously caused a huge uproar with people absolutely angry he could get away with something so serious with the equivalent of a slap on the wrist and you could still find posts making fun of him calling him a murderer which I don't think he meant to murder anyone but he was careless and in in by doing that he he killed two people but anyway this somehow did not halt his Fame at all and he would continue to star in hit movies like soon after and one of if not his biggest movie of our childhoods he would play adult Simba in The Lion King in 1993 like one of the biggest movies to happen in the 90s his career now has slowly faltered he's still obviously in some big movies and is still acting but he's now in his 60s and this is one of the deaths on the list that is really crazy to me maybe it's because he was in Ireland so the courts were just more lenient I don't know how the judicial system works over there necessarily but it is extremely weird to me why they would give him such a small fine especially as such a successful actor maybe maybe that's why which is it just even more sick but again just incredibly sad but that is what happened and that is broad's story and now we move on to Sid Vicious in the mid 1970s London's Punk scene became The Crucible for one of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock history John Simon Richie later known as Sid Vicious found himself at the epicenter of this cultural revolution despite his limited Musical prowess vicious charismatic presence and embodiment of Punk's rebellious Spirit quickly propelled him to the prominence within the movement and Malcolm McLaren the astute and often provocative manager of the Sex Pistols recognized the potential in vicious's raw energy in Persona and in February 1977 McLaren made the Strategic decision to recruit vicious as the band's new basist even though he lacked the fundamental skills to play the instrument he was basically just you know a post boy and the unconventional Choice underscored the Punk's ethos that prioritized attitude and authenticity over technical proficiency and the iconic look that vicious cultivated spiked hair leather jackets and an air of defiance became synonymous within the punk movement he he was just like an idol in the punk movement and his visual presentation was as much part of his Artistry as the musical contributions if not more so and vicious's style influence WI a generation of disaffected Youth providing a template for Punk fashion that would endure long after his brief career and his struggles with substance abuse and self-destructive Tendencies became inextricably linked with his public Persona wobble assessment that vicious represented the nihilistic self-destructive dark completely uncaring side of punk highlighted The Duality of his appeal a figure both celebrated and cautionary the media's fascination with vicious just intensified when he became romantically involved with Nazi spon the relationship tumultuous and often public captured the imagination of the press and public alike the portrayal of Sid and Nancy as Romeo and Juliet in black leather romanticized their volatile partnership further elevating vicious's status as a cultural icon while simultaneously foreshadowing the tragedy that would ultimately unfold so as the sex pistol's notoriety reached its Zenith a dark undercurrent was pulling Sid Vicious towards an even more tumultuous fate at the heart of the tragedy was Nancy spongin a figure whose influence on vicious's life would prove both profound and destructive so in 1978 vicious and spongin relocated to New York City a move that exacerbated their already problematic drug use an eyewitness accounts from the time at Chelsea Hotel paint a very Grim picture of of their lifestyle the couple was frequently observed in a state of disarray the room was littered in refu both heavily under the influence of heroin as well and this environment of squalor and substance abuse just became the backdrop for this tragic event that would unfold so on October 12th 1978 the situation reached its tragic Peak when Nancy spongin was discovered dead in the couple's room at the Chelsea Hotel she had sustained a fatal stab wound to the ad and the circumstances surrounding her death remained shrouded in controversy to this day and vicious who was present at the scene initially confessed to the murder however later he would retract his statement claiming to have been asleep at the time of spungen's death and I witness accounts from the Chelsea Hotel provide a nuanced perspective on vicious's and spungen's relationship their interactions were characterized by a volatile mix of adoration and violence a very extremely toxic an unhealthy relationship while vicious was known to physically abuse spongin he also displayed a very deep affection for her and this paradoxal Dynamic complicates The Narrative of their relationship and the events leading to spungen's death and in the aftermath of spungen's death vicious spiraled further into Despair and self-destruction and he would attempt slw slide shortly after the incident a clear indication of his mental anguish and despite being released on bail vicious was unable to escape the gravity ational pull of his addiction and on February 2nd 1979 he would be found dead from a heroin overdose bringing a very tragic end to his tumultuous life before he could stand trial for spon's death so we will never know how she died or how the whole thing unfolded so again just a very very tragic event now that brings us to our next celebrity which I'm sure every single one of you will know and that is Caitlyn Jenner so Caitlyn Jenner is another one of these tragic Tales once a famed Olympic star to one surrounded by multiple dramas however her previous skills as a decathalon world record holder later became a media sensation and carrying the Jenner title Caitlyn Jenner is obviously directly associated with the Kardashians once married to Chris Jenner and everyone remembers the horrors of keeping up with their Kardashians the show is still going which is crazy to me however this once star full of global success had a horrible accident that resulted in the loss of a life on February 7th 2015 Jenner was driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu California you've definitely driven down this road in GTA 5 but driving a black Cadillac Escalade which was towing a trailer another vehicle ahead of Jenner was driven by a woman by the name of Kim how who was 69 driving her Lexus eyes focused on the road however the woman in front of how had slowed down driven by a woman named Jessica steindorf and because of this how would break but Jenner was going too fast and estimated to be going between 38 to 46 mph Jenner would rearend house Lexus pushing her into oncoming traffic and the Lexus was then struck in a head-on collision by a Hummer killing Kim how on the scene and to make matters worse Jenner also hit that Prius that was in front of how and with no injuries at all Jenner stayed at the scene knowing that this was very very serious police would then Force Jenner to take a sobriety test and would question her however Jenner was not intoxicated and surveillance footage showed that Jenner was neither texting nor using her phone whatsoever and I'm not sure exactly how they would tell this from video but I guess it was slowed down but what do I know you know so she was in her legit legal right but despite it she was given criminal charges and in September 2015 the LA District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against her stating that there was no gross negligence and lack of Criminal Intent although this was not charged federally Jenner was part of three civil suits from each of the vehicles one of the stepchildren from how who had no living relatives the Prius owner Jessica steindorf and the Hummer driver and all of these were were settled out of court for an undisclosed amount but we later learned that the Hummer family that of the wolf melisi or melises sued her upwards of $800,000 no doubt an amount that would help pay off the emotional toll of being involved in the death of Kim how so it seems as though money just fixed this entire situation and it was shoved under the rug I mean it was in the tabloids but I mean I never even heard of it I was alive during all this I was an adult so I don't know it smells fishy but I I can't I don't know I don't know anything I'm just I'm just the reporter I'm just I'm just the middleman I'm just telling you what all the facts and next up I believe a lot of you will be familiar with if you're around my age you know 10 years younger 10 years older I feel like you would have seen this guy's face before but it is Phil Lewis born on February 14th 1968 he began his career acting in various films and shows however his career would be cemented into Fame by his performance on the popular Disney Channel show The Sweet Life of Zach and Cody one of my favorite shows as a kid as the character Mr Mosby the hotel manager for the location of the show the Tipton Hotel and the show was so successful and able to have around three seasons that it eventually was continued through a spin-off The Sweet Life on Deck which also one of my favorite shows as a kid which was a majority of the same cast except on the cruise ship named the SS Tipton and this show also ran for about three seasons and he would continue to work on other projects as the time went on and he was able to direct some episodes of The Sweet Life and even directed episodes of the alternative shows such as Ant Farm Austin and Aly Good Luck Charlie kicking it and Jesse so very prominent in the Disney World so he was a staple of many childhoods including my own and there were frequent moments in that show that many can reference back to for me it was the Prindle scene like I know it was it was Brenda Song but it was also him I don't know why that that scene was is like caked into my memory and I was a big a big fan of Mr Mosby are you referring to the shift lever that says p r n DL I'm not a child Mosby I know how to spell print however Mr Mosby AKA Phil Lewis actually had a bit of a darker past before the running of these shows one that many seem to forget so on December 28th 1991 Phil Lewis was involved in a fatal drunk driving accident in Bethesda Maryland he was still young only 23 years old at the time and was just an aspiring actor the crash would result in the death of a 21-year-old Isabelle darat a recent immigrant who moved to the US to work as a nanny and her injuries were fatal and she was pronounced dead shortly after the crash and the charges for these were manslaughter and driving Under the Influence a DUI and his blood alcohol was about the legal limit therefore leading to the Char es of vehicular manslaughter which he completely accepted and in 1993 he was then sentenced to 5 years in prison although he only served one behind bars so instead he was forced to do 300 plus hours of community service and this wasn't the classic pickup trash on the side of the road but instead working at a prison-based theater to help educate them about the dangers of driving while intoxicated which I think is is great you know like I mean something so awful that happened and that was clearly his fault and his doing he he is trying to make into something or he did try to make into something that was you know relatively positive and this helped repair his damaged Public Image and allowed him to continue to do stuff he loved to do which was acting and he was eventually able to build his career back from the ground up again eventually leading him into two popular shows and other appearances on Disney and Nickelodeon and the crime he committed was over 10 years ago in the past when he began acting on the Sweet Life of Zack and Cody although a tragic tale I feel he eventually did redeem himself and although this act of violence probably haunts him to this day I'm glad he could become a staple of many of our childhoods and do some good in the system as well and he's still doing some directing here and there helping direct a few episodes in 2024 of a sitcom called Papa's house and in 2023 he was in a sitcom called the really loud house as Mr Rickshaw so it seems his career is at a bit of a sandill but hopefully hopefully he's happy and next we have have Ted Kennedy so as most of you will know the tragic tales of the kennedies is a long one many of them died or been assassinated and tons of conspiracy theories around their deaths still exist and are frequently talked about till this day however one of the deaths involves the uncle of RFK Jr Ted Kennedy except he wouldn't be the one to lose his life Edward Ted Kennedy was born February 27 second 1932 in Boston Massachusetts he is best known for not only being a Kennedy but his career as a US senator and he was actually one of the longest serving senators in US history which is insane especially for a Kennedy given their uh bad luck but on the evening of July 18th 1969 Ted Kennedy attended a private party on Chapa quid Island in Massachusetts I don't know if I said that right the party was a reunion for the Boiler Room girls a group who worked on Robert F Kennedy's presidential campaign before his assassination so around 11:15 p.m. Mary Joe kenchi a 28-year-old former campaign worker and close associate of rfk's would leave the party with him anyway the two would leave the party together and supposedly they were driving back on the fairy dock so she could get back to her hotel and instead of the main road he drove her down a narrow and dangerous unlit dirt path he then suddenly lost control and went off the bridge into to the pond below the car flipping upside down into the water and submerging his passenger and he was able to escape but his passenger continued to be trapped Mary Joe and according to himself he dove in seven or eight times hoping to save her but couldn't get her from how the vehicle was situated he then decided to swim to Shore and left just left the scene leaving Mary Joe Penney behind to die and he just would return back to his hotel like like nothing ever happened so like you may think like maybe he's in shock you know maybe it's a hereditary situation you know the backseat girl dies gets decapitated don't know if you've seen that movie before highly recommend watching it but he just doesn't tell anybody and he's just in shock the whole time so maybe he's in shock maybe just he doesn't he he he just he he'll let everybody know in the morning but but no he doesn't he just went back to his hotel and just still didn't report the accident that happened not until two fishermen supposedly spotted the upside down car and called the police so it wasn't him that contacted the police it was two fishermen and this is what's [ __ ] up okay according to investigators studying the scene an air pocket was discovered which would have gave compeny enough time to survive if authorities were called immediately and not you know you just go into your hotel and just not telling anyone so he literally had a chance to save her and didn't and on July 5th a week later he plad guilty to leaveing the scene of the crime and he was sentenced to 2 months in jail and if you think that wasn't a lot of time the sentence was actually just suspended altogether and he just served no time Justice and knowing this would damage his career instead of leaving the Senate he continued to run and stated he would run for reelection the next year and in 1980 he would run for president however his life had been stained with his career destroying story which ultimately led to a dominating defeat but still he did do well in the Senate and unfortunately passed away for brain cancer on August 25th 2009 but the entire topic is debated if it was a deliberate murder or if he was hiding something was it an affair uh did he have secrets to hide we just we just don't know and and I don't think we ever will so again extremely unfortunate now last but not least or maybe least I don't really know I last and unfortunately we have someone who I'm assuming everyone knows and one of the most recent ones which is Alec Baldwin and if you don't know who Alec Baldwin is his real name is Alexander Ray Baldwin III that's a lot of name and he was born on April 3rd 1958 and Rose to Fame in countless movies he has that certain look and tone that stands out in movies at least for me I mean he's got like that that St dare that he always does and he talks like very soft very fast very this is a what I'm like turning into Jeff Goldblum right now I don't know what's going on I'm going to stop but he became a bit more established in his role in The Hunt for Red October made in 1990 alongside Sean Conroy and his Fame grew through the movie Beetlejuice playing one of the main characters and his career just continued to Skyrocket as he gained more and more roles in Hollywood but of course his most famous performance was in the liveaction 2003 Cat in the Hat which is the reason we don't have any more liveaction Dr Seuss movies I I personally liked it I personally like cat and the hat okay Mike Myers he was good I think it was good but anyway he has a plethora of movies you definitely know who he is but what you may or may not know if you don't Deep dive into anything celebrity is that Alec Baldwin got a role in a movie called rust a western movie to be specific which would come out in 2024 I never seen and in this movie Alec Baldwin plays the main character Harland rust in aging Outlaw and the story was about this outlaw Harland rust who came out of hiding to rescue a 13-year-old nephew after he was sentenced to hang for his crimes he accidentally committed and it's a cool idea and it began filming in 2020 and 2021 however everything would come to a screeching halt after a horrible accident in October of 2021 there were many problems on set the budget of the film was around $8 million which was not your regular budget for a movie there were complaints of safety concerns from those in the production poor firearm handling procedures and even accidental firearm discharges very bad and this would become reality as on October 21st 2021 an accidental firearm discharge would take someone's life and during a rehearsal during a church scene Baldwin was meant to be armed and draw his 45 cold revolver and everything was going to plan and this scene involved him pointing his firearm at the camera for a dramatic shot when the gun went off accidentally and standing behind the camera were his co-director Joel Souza and cinematographer helina Hutchin and the bullet supposedly hitting Hutchin in the chest where it passed through her then hitting Souza in the shoulder and this bullet was a live round which is wild as why it was ever on set and how the mixup even happened because you that is just never the case you don't have live rounds on set and Souza would survive however Hutchins would pass away in the hospital and an investigation was open on set trying to understand how the mixup could have happened and how so much neglect would be involved with having a live round on set and according to the story Baldwin stated he never pulled the trigger practicing gun safety however other reports stated he had no idea how to handle the firearm in the first place as he's been pretty vocal about his distaste for guns and the armorer on set was also investigated Hannah Gutierrez Reed and assistant David holes and they both stated that the weapon was prepped and given to Baldwin cold meaning safe and then handed it to Baldwin however it was found it was not properly checked if it was truly safe and this then just created a domino effect of lawsuits and allegations towards Baldwin calling him a coldblooded killer while pointing the figure at the armorer and those on set for the mistake that cost someone their life and in January of 2023 both Baldwin and Gutierrez Reed were charged with involuntary manslaughter however later the same year in April his charges were dropped but could still be refiled and prosecutors reopened the case and reinstated that manslaughter charge in 2024 and on top of that he received civil lawsuits from Hutch's family for her wrongful death and several crew members on set also joined in stating that they suffered emotional trauma under these working conditions and experiencing someone being killed in front of them and some were settled privately While others ultimately are still ongoing and in July of 2024 Alec Baldwin stood trial for the killing and the judge ultimately dismissed the case he was not charged and therefore walked away a free man however Hannah Gutierrez Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March of 2024 and this obviously anchored a lot of people however it's hard to see how he was at fault for sure sure he could have examined the weapon himself but if he was handed a live round which shouldn't have been there in the first place and was declared safe he felt there was no reason to check let alone probably didn't know how to check especially since he he had a disdain towards guns so it's it's very gray and confusing and just [ __ ] sad so it may seem unfair and a lot of people talking about his case are demanding Justice and I'm sure this is a massive hit on his name and the feelings of killing someone are definitely going to always be on his mind I mean awful all around like I I feel so horrible for all the people that were involved in that whole project and it's just the negligence like just so easily avoidable and there could have been a woman still walking here on Earth with us if if those people were negligent so just incredibly sad but these cases just show even riches and fame don't always Grant you immunity from tragedy and sometimes they do which is really horrifying but some were tragic accidents While others were deeper and were struggling with personal demons either way all of them were extremely sad and tragic and that is it for this video so let me know what what other videos you guys want to see down below I appreciate you watching I appreciate you being here and I hope you stay safe and until next time I will see your beautiful face bye
