A gossip-fueled rumor is one thing, but when there’s indisputable video proof of your scandalous behavior, it’s probably best to lawyer up and get that apology statement ready.

And since we’re in the era of phones equipped with HD-capable cameras with video, someone is inevitably going to catch a famous person doing dirt. That’s exactly what happened with these 15 celebs caught up in video scandals.

Ariana Grande

The public apology has already been issued, but honestly seeing a bourgie Ariana Grande licking donuts and saying she hated America might’ve been one of her finer moments.

50 Cent

Those 48 Laws apparently backfired after years of Fif going the extra mile to humiliate his foes (see footage of Khaled’s mom sleep on the job for further proof). After superimposing himself into a freaky flick of Rick Ross’ baby moms, 50 Cent will have to cough up a cool $5 million.

Kim Kardashian

If you want to know why so many D-list women get their freaky flicks leaked, look no further than Kim Kardashian-West. Some boring footage of her getting throttled by Ray J became a multimillion-dollar empire.

As Queen Bey herself infamously said, “Of course sometimes s**t go down, when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator.”

Mimi Faust and Nikko Smith

Straight from the “No Ish, Sherlock” section came news that Mimi and Nikko’s audio-visual freakfest was staged. The tape hit the Internet via Vivid Video in 2014, and one would think the ever-present tripod (pause…no pun intended) at Nikko’s crib was a dead giveaway.

Tyson Beckford

Truth be told, Tyson has been in thirst trap mode since his days as of modeling Polo. The only surprise here is that he took matters into his own hands and slapped his one-eyed shooter around the way a pimp treats his bottom money maker.

Lawrence and Montana Fishburne

Montana Fishburne

It was tough to see Laurence Fishburne take a massive “L” in the form of his daughter working out her daddy issues by voluntarily entering adult entertainment. Shout out to Fabolous for throwing gasoline on this shameful P.R. fire by turning #BrianPumperJewels into a trending topic.

Floyd Mayweather and Ray J

Ray J

Aside from blowing Kim K’s ample back out for the world to see, Ray J also fell victim to Fabolous’ lack of chill. For reasons unknown, Ray J decided to engage in a pause-worthy piano serenade of his homeboy Floyd Mayweather in 2011. And yes, there’s video proof of this bromance.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton

Let’s go out on a limb and assume nightvision technology was never adapted to see boring footage of Paris Hilton getting her “chicken cutlet flat backs” (Desus Nice ™) blown out.

Eve

Whether it was Stevie J or a bitter friend turned into an enemy, someone clearly wanted to expose Eve’s pre-rap past when they leaked footage of her extracurricular activities.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez

J-Lo is actually one of the few celebs to successfully block a freaky flick from hitting the public. Some strong lawyers and a whole lot of cash kept what we can only imagine was spectacular footage of her Boricua backside from melting the Internet.

R. Kelly

You already know the drill here. If you don’t, feel free to check the excellent work of Jim Derogatis so you can avoid reading the word “allegedly” 57 times.

Ray Rice

In a sadly unsurprising turn of events, former Baltimore Ravens running back saw his Pro Bowl career jeopardized after he punched his wife like someone auditioning for the role of Ike Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It. The sadly unsurprising part was Janay Rice following through and marrying him after taking the punch.

Tulisa Contostavlos

UK entertainment personality Tulisa Contostavlos is listed as a singer-songwriter, but when her jilted ex-boyfriend leaked one of their home movies 2013 viewers discovered she played a musical instrument commonly referred to as the skin flute.

Colin Farrell and Nicole Narain

Things apparently got so steamy during the flesh pounding between actor Colin Farrell and video vixen turned Playmate Nicole Narain that the latter eventually entered rehab for being a sex addict.
