    Hey anyone remember when Boy George did a year in prison for kidnapping a male sex worker? (cw: sexual abuse).

    Also apparently weirdly high number of young gay dudes have ODed while hanging with him, like weirdly high even for an 80s rock star.

      He didn’t do a year in prison, he was sentenced to 15 months, got out on probation after 4 months and immediately filed a request to go on Celebrity Big Brother while still wearing his ankle monitor.

        Celebrity Big Brother while still wearing his ankle monitor.

        HAHAHAHA! Did the topic of why he had a fucking ankle monitor on ever come up on the show?

          His parole officer didn’t let him go on the show, they were afraid it would make look the parole office look bad if you goof around on national TV while you’re technically still serving a sentence for abusing a sex worker.

      Holy fuck that’s revolting (unsurprising from an Israel supporter though). Has he also been outed as a pedophile at some point? Or did I just vaguely hear about this and think “British media figure did some horrific sex shit, must be a pedo”?
