With bedroom antics still the talk of the town, here\u2019s nine of the juiciest celebrity sex scandals\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2196636659.jpg” alt=”Kim and Khloe Kardashian” title_text=”%22Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy%22 World Premiere – Arrivals” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Despite often playing an English gentleman, Hugh was embroiled in his own sex scandal<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Cast your minds back to 1995, and Hugh Grant was still a reigning nineties heartthrob. However, his clean-cut English gentleman persona soon vanished after he was arrested in Los Angeles for receiving oral sex in his car. His fellow romper? Sex worker Divine Brown, who he\u2019d picked up on the infamous Sunset Strip. The move left Hugh\u2019s entire career \u2013 and his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley \u2013 up in the air. In true Hugh fashion, the actor faced the music, pleading no contest and owing up to his actions during an interview with Jay Leno. In the end, everything turned out fine. Not only did he stage a career comeback a couple years later, but he remained on good terms with Liz \u2013 now godfather to her son, Damian.<\/span><\/p>\n In 1998, the world was rocked when George Michael was arrested after cruising for sex in a Los Angeles park. The \u2018Faith\u2019 singer, best known for being one half of the band Wham!, was caught by an undercover police officer while participating in a \u2018lewd act\u2019 in a public toilet. The move landed him three hours in jail before posting bail \u2013 but it certainly didn\u2019t put him off. In 2006, the star was caught once again cruising, this time at London\u2019s Hampstead Heath. Refusing to apologise for getting his kicks, George later said, \u2018Sorry if people don\u2019t like the fact I cruise on Hampstead Heath, but the police absolutely accept that it goes on at night. It\u2019s the only place in London where that is so, so it\u2019s generally a safe place.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2179678255.jpg” alt=”Meghan Markle and Prince Harry” title_text=”The Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala – Arrivals” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The Kardashians’ stardom skyrocketed, partially thanks to Kim’s sex scandal<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Celebrity sex scandals may have been a tabloid fixture in the nineties and noughties, but never fear \u2013 they\u2019re still thriving today. Just last year, the seemingly wholesome Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl found himself at the centre of a mammoth scandal. The then father-of-two revealed that he had welcomed his third daughter. The problem? The mother was not his wife of 21 years, Jennifer Blum \u2013 although he did not name who the baby\u2019s mother was. \u2018I\u2019ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,\u2019 Dave wrote on social media.<\/p>\n Before becoming the reality TV billionaire we all know, Kim Kardashian was simply a friend, stylist, and hanger-onner of Paris Hilton. But in 2007, the Kardashian brand boomed after Kim\u2019s 2003 sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray J was released. While Kim initially filed a lawsuit against the distributor, she dropped it three months later and settled for $5 million, giving the company permission to sell copies. Fans have speculated whether the leak was a breach of Kim\u2019s privacy or a promotional stunt for their upcoming reality show \u2013 but either way, the Kardashian\u2019s wouldn\u2019t be the Kardashians without Kim\u2019s tape<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-919968906.jpg” alt=”Meghan Markle” title_text=”Klutch Sports Group %22More Than A Game%22 Dinner Presented by Remy Martin” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Tristan hit headlines in 2021 for betraying Khloe<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Kim isn\u2019t the only Kardashian who\u2019s faced some drama. When Khloe Kardashian kickstarted her romance with NBA star Tristan Thompson, it seemed she\u2019d finally found her happy ending \u2013 but what would unfold was the stuff of nightmares. In April 2018, news broke that Tristan had cheated on Khloe while she was pregnant with their daughter, True. The Kardashian star gave Tristan a second chance, but by February 2019, he was back in her bad books after smooching KarJenner close friend, Jordyn Woods. The pair gave it another go, but third time certainly wasn\u2019t the charm. In December 2021, reports surfaced that Tristan had fathered a baby with influencer Maralee Nichols. Apologising to Khloe \u2013 with the pair expecting their son, Tatum, via surrogacy \u2013 Tristan wrote, \u2018You don\u2019t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you.\u2019<\/p>\n When comedian Eddie Murphy met Spice Girl Mel B at a dinner party in 2008, they seemed a match made in heaven. According to Mel, the pair waited until six weeks into dating before having sex \u2013 later comparing their bedroom antics to poetry. Funny man Eddie was at one point so enamoured with Scary Spice that he got her name tattooed on his thigh! However, it quickly soured when Mel discovered she was pregnant. Mel returned to the UK to raise the baby girl, and while a DNA test proved that little Angel was Eddie\u2019s child, their relationship never recovered.<\/p>\n Tiger Woods had it all: an upstanding, not to mention top-earning, sports career, with a picture-perfect home life with wife Elin Nordegren and their two children. But in 2009, tabloids began to circle when Tiger crashed his car outside of his home \u2013 with reports of numerous affairs beginning to emerge. One woman, Jaimee Grubbs, shared the explicit texts Tiger had sent her, encouraging other women to come forward with their own allegations against the golf champion. Addressing the scandal, Tiger said, \u2018I was unfaithful, I had affairs, and I cheated. What I did was unacceptable.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2197659122.jpg” alt=”Kris Jenner” title_text=”%22Celebrity Bear Hunt%22 – London Premiere – VIP Arrivals” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” min_height=”28.8px” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”3px|8px|3px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Mel B – aka Scary Spice – had a rocky romance with comedian Eddie Murphy<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n In 2022, Adam Levine became the latest rockstar to add sex scandal to his CV after Instagram model Summer Stroh alleged on TikTok that she had an affair with the Maroon5 singer. Summer shared several alleged screenshots from Adam, including one where he asked if he could name his third child with model wife Behati Prinsloo after her. Of course, the internet did what it does best, and screenshots where Adam allegedly wrote, \u2018Holy fucking fuck, that body of yours is absurd\u2019 quickly became memeified. As for the \u2018Moves Like Jagger\u2019 singer? Adam denied that he had an affair, but he did admit that he \u2018crossed a line during a regrettable period in my life\u2019.<\/p>\n One of the most recognisable stars of all time, silver screen icon Marilyn Monroe was accused of having an affair with then-US president John F. Kennedy before her tragic death in 1962. Mere months before she died, the star performed a sultry rendition of \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 for the president. At the time, JFK was married to Jacqueline Onassis. Historians have also theorised that Marilyn, who had been married three times at this point, also had an affair with his brother, Robert F Kennedy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Aboreto|||on|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n PHOTOS: IMAGO<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”flatplan-readmore” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#111111″ custom_padding=”35px||35px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ module_class=”read-more-item” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/Thumbnailtgqq.jpg” title_text=”Thumbnailtgqq” module_class=”read-more-thumbnail” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text module_class=”read-more-headline” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”16px” link_option_url=”https:\/\/apple.news\/ABgCYwvfNTKq0ormaQsj7Kw ” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Meghan and Harry\u2019s last resort ‘therapy’<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ module_class=”read-more-item” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/bwbnewn.jpg” title_text=”bwbnewn” module_class=”read-more-thumbnail” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text module_class=”read-more-headline” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”16px” link_option_url=”https:\/\/apple.news\/A0bBtVJeIRiSYmqM4nlVh6g” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n The sexy secrets behind Sofia Vergara\u2019s dirty divorce<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We can always rely on the rich and famous to bring the drama.
