Celebrities With Shocking Death-Related Stories You Never Knew · The conspiracy

0:00
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, fame and fortune don't always come
0:03
Speaker 1: with a clean slate. Some of the most well-known celebrities
0:07
Speaker 1: have very dark secrets. Oh my god, I can't believe it.
0:11
Speaker 1: And some of these secrets involve very deadly consequences. In
0:16
Speaker 1: this video, we'll be going over some celebrities you may
0:19
Speaker 1: or may not know who have killed people. And some
0:23
Speaker 1: in ways you'd never expect. And some of these were
0:26
Speaker 1: not criminally charged, while others were pure accidents. However, this
0:30
Speaker 1: shows that even accidents have life-changing results. Ones that lead
0:35
Speaker 1: to deaths. Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder. All
0:41
Speaker 1: things that I love to consume and I know you
0:43
Speaker 1: do too, you sick Twisted little beautiful intellectually minded freak.
0:47
Speaker 1: And today we are talking about just that. We are
0:49
Speaker 1: talking about celebrities. We love celebrities. Celebrities, we gobble up,
0:53
Speaker 1: we gobble up all the drama and whatnot, and we
0:56
Speaker 1: idolize them, we look up to them. They're like these
0:58
Speaker 1: anomalies that are untouchable, but even they can make mistakes.
1:03
Speaker 1: So let's talk about it. Without further ado, let's unbuckle
1:05
Speaker 1: our seat belts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam
1:07
Speaker 1: on the brakes, and bust through this windshield into these
1:11
Speaker 1: criminal celebrities together. Ryan Grantham, originally best known for his
1:30
Speaker 1: work on Diary of a Wimpy Kid to eventually reaching
1:34
Speaker 1: bigger shows like Riverdale, Supernatural, and iZombie. However, he would
1:39
Speaker 1: later be known for something much more sinister, and it
1:42
Speaker 1: wouldn't be on a movie set. All right, before I
1:44
Speaker 1: get into this, I need to put my freaking glasses on.
1:46
Speaker 1: I can't see shit. Alright, so Grantham lived with his mother,
1:50
Speaker 1: Barbara Waite, who was a very supportive and integral figure
1:54
Speaker 1: in his life. And his father, who was quite absent,
1:57
Speaker 1: left his mother at the center of his day-to-day life.
2:00
Speaker 1: And she was very supportive of his acting life as
2:03
Speaker 1: he started to get larger and larger roles, starting off
2:06
Speaker 1: as a child star in the industry. What could go wrong, right? However,
2:12
Speaker 1: as he got older, it became harder to get more
2:15
Speaker 1: and more roles, as is the business in acting. And
2:18
Speaker 1: this may or may not have inadvertently caused some mental
2:22
Speaker 1: health struggles for Grantham, which we now know from a
2:25
Speaker 1: personal diary that was found. He would write in this
2:27
Speaker 1: diary about how much he hated himself, showing his deteriorating
2:32
Speaker 1: psychological state before the crime was committed. So on March 31st,
2:36
Speaker 1: 2020 in Squamish, British Columbia, weird shout out to BC
2:40
Speaker 1: right now, Ryan Grantham carried out a premeditated murder. While
2:43
Speaker 1: his 64-year-old mother was playing piano, he approached her from
2:48
Speaker 1: the back and would shoot her in the head with a.
2:51
Speaker 1: 2020 caliber rifle. And this act of cold and calculated
2:55
Speaker 1: murder was something he had rehearsed beforehand. Afterwards, he used
2:59
Speaker 1: a GoPro to film his dead mother on the ground,
3:03
Speaker 1: admitting to the murder in a recorded confession. And he
3:06
Speaker 1: did express regret knowing what he had done and his
3:10
Speaker 1: mind was completely made up. However, that wasn't the only
3:14
Speaker 1: murder he wanted to commit. And this is where it
3:17
Speaker 1: gets crazy. After her death, he didn't call the police. Instead,
3:21
Speaker 1: he spent some time at home and set up an
3:24
Speaker 1: unusual scene. He positioned his mother's body on the floor,
3:28
Speaker 1: covering her in a sheet and surrounding her with candles.
3:31
Speaker 1: So obviously a very obvious act of remorse. Which like,
3:37
Speaker 1: little too late. Little too late. Then he would go
3:39
Speaker 1: to his car and prep it and fill his car
3:42
Speaker 1: with weapons, ammunition, a lot of cocktails, and camping gear.
3:47
Speaker 1: What he had planned was to kill the prime minister
3:50
Speaker 1: of Canada, Justin Trudeau. However, in an unusual change of heart,
3:56
Speaker 1: he instead would just drive aimlessly around with all of
3:59
Speaker 1: the stuff in his car. And eventually he thought of
4:02
Speaker 1: heading towards Simon Fraser University to do a mass, which
4:06
Speaker 1: is just horrifying to think about. But yet again, Thankfully,
4:10
Speaker 1: he decided not to and began to just drive again aimlessly.
4:14
Speaker 1: And it was much later and he realized that neither
4:17
Speaker 1: of these plans seemed viable. To which he drove himself
4:20
Speaker 1: and turned himself in to the Vancouver police station. And
4:23
Speaker 1: he would tell them that he had killed his mother
4:26
Speaker 1: and they would arrest him. And later in March 2020,
4:29
Speaker 1: he would plead guilty to first degree murder for life.
4:32
Speaker 1: with no chance of parole until 14 years later. And
4:36
Speaker 1: most of the information before was learned at the court case,
4:39
Speaker 1: including the GoPro video and his diary, which explained his
4:42
Speaker 1: mental health decline and the regret he felt for killing
4:45
Speaker 1: his mother. And the video was around four minutes long.
4:48
Speaker 1: detailing what he was going to do. It's really sad
4:51
Speaker 1: to hear, and it shows he was going through clinical
4:54
Speaker 1: depression in the months leading up to the murder. He
4:57
Speaker 1: was feeling urges of wanting to cause harm to others,
5:00
Speaker 1: and as reported, he had been watching gore videos on
5:03
Speaker 1: the dark web as well, which also just helped fuel
5:06
Speaker 1: his urges. And he himself was wanting to take his
5:09
Speaker 1: own life. and just feeling intense feelings of self-hatred. So
5:13
Speaker 1: just a really extremely sad situation. And the reason for
5:17
Speaker 1: killing his mother was basically to save her from the
5:21
Speaker 1: crimes he was going to commit. So he felt like
5:24
Speaker 1: so guilty for the crimes he wanted to commit, which
5:27
Speaker 1: would be the murder of Justin Trudeau and potentially a
5:30
Speaker 1: mass shooting at Simon Fraser University. He wanted to save
5:34
Speaker 1: her from going through seeing her son doing that basically,
5:37
Speaker 1: which I mean, obviously is so messed up and wrong,
5:41
Speaker 1: but there's just a little, it's just sad. It's just really,
5:46
Speaker 1: really sad. Yeah, just a really heartbreaking story and a
5:50
Speaker 1: very recent story as well. But that brings us to
5:53
Speaker 1: our next celebrity, which is Matthew Broderick. So have you
5:57
Speaker 1: seen the movie Inspector Gadget? used to be one of
6:01
Speaker 1: my faves. Well, then you absolutely know who this guy is.
6:06
Speaker 1: And Inspector Gadget was kind of a terrible example also,
6:09
Speaker 1: by the way. He does have a much more extensive portfolio.
6:12
Speaker 1: What you should know him from was from his most
6:15
Speaker 1: popular performance, which was Ferris Bueller's Day Off, another one
6:20
Speaker 1: of my favorites growing up. This guy was basically the
6:23
Speaker 1: childhood of anyone born before 2004. or at least should
6:27
Speaker 1: have been, because those movies are fantastic. But this guy
6:30
Speaker 1: did not just skip school. He literally, he literally killed,
6:35
Speaker 1: he killed people, which is crazy to think about. Bueller.
6:40
Speaker 1: But born on March 21st, 1962 in Manhattan, New York City,
6:45
Speaker 1: his starting career had him climbing the ladder, jumping into films.
6:49
Speaker 1: His first big hit was the movie War Games in 1983.
6:52
Speaker 1: I never watched it. Where he was finally establishing himself
6:55
Speaker 1: on the map. And then of course his biggest film,
6:58
Speaker 1: arguably Ferris Bueller's Day Off in 1986. However, just a
7:02
Speaker 1: year later, he would cause a terrible accident. On August 5th, 1987,
7:09
Speaker 1: Broderick was traveling with his co-star and also girlfriend, Jennifer Grey,
7:14
Speaker 1: in Northern Ireland. And Jennifer Grey, for those of you
7:17
Speaker 1: who don't know, was a baby in the corner. Nobody
7:20
Speaker 1: puts baby in the corner. Dirty dancing. That baby. And supposedly,
7:24
Speaker 1: while driving a rented car, he drove on the wrong
7:26
Speaker 1: side of the road. And some articles say it was
7:33
Speaker 1: because of weather conditions. However, I think the story makes
7:37
Speaker 1: more sense just because he was confused. He is an
7:40
Speaker 1: American after all. So maybe he just didn't immediately think
7:44
Speaker 1: that he was driving on the wrong side of the road, like,
7:47
Speaker 1: cause the roads are opposite there. So he was driving
7:50
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the road, but it was
7:51
Speaker 1: the right side of the road for him. If you
7:53
Speaker 1: know what I mean, obviously not, not even a little
7:56
Speaker 1: bit of an excuse for what was to happen, but
8:00
Speaker 1: you know, Arguably that may have been the reason, but
8:03
Speaker 1: because of this error, he had a head on collision
8:07
Speaker 1: with another car, which killed two passengers, Margaret Dougherty, who
8:12
Speaker 1: was 63, and Anna Gallagher, who was 28. And Broderick
8:17
Speaker 1: did not lose his life, but suffered a fracture to
8:20
Speaker 1: his leg and his ribs, a concussion, and a collapsed lung.
8:24
Speaker 1: Getting off easy compared to the other two passengers. And
8:27
Speaker 1: his passenger, Gray, got severe whiplash. Again, got off easy.
8:32
Speaker 1: extremely easy comparatively. And after the crash, he would obviously
8:35
Speaker 1: be questioned by police who stated he had no recollection
8:39
Speaker 1: of the crash or why he was on the wrong
8:41
Speaker 1: lane to begin with. And he then was initially charged
8:44
Speaker 1: with causing death by dangerous driving. However, he would somehow
8:47
Speaker 1: avoid this charge. Instead, he would receive a much lesser
8:51
Speaker 1: punishment for careless driving and fined around $ 175. $ 175 for
8:54
Speaker 1: two people's lives. I'm just speechless from that. But a
9:07
Speaker 1: sentence that could have landed him in prison, he instead
9:10
Speaker 1: received just a small fee, a parking ticket fee, basically.
9:17
Speaker 1: obviously caused a huge uproar. With people absolutely angry, he
9:22
Speaker 1: could get away with something so serious with the equivalent
9:25
Speaker 1: of a f * * * ing slap on the wrist.
9:27
Speaker 1: And you could still find posts making fun of him
9:29
Speaker 1: and calling him a murderer, which I don't think he
9:31
Speaker 1: meant to murder anyone, but he was careless, and by
9:36
Speaker 1: doing that, he killed two people. But anyway, this somehow
9:39
Speaker 1: did not halt his fame. at all, and he would
9:43
Speaker 1: continue to star in hit movies like soon after. And
9:46
Speaker 1: one of, if not his biggest movie of our childhoods,
9:50
Speaker 1: he would play adult Simba in The Lion King in 1993.
9:54
Speaker 1: Like one of the biggest movies to happen in the 90s.
9:57
Speaker 1: His career now has slowly faltered. He's still obviously in
10:01
Speaker 1: some big movies and is still acting, but he's now
10:04
Speaker 1: in his 60s. And this is one of the deaths
10:06
Speaker 1: on the list that is really, really crazy to me.
10:09
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because he was in Ireland, so the courts
10:12
Speaker 1: were just more lenient. I don't know how the judicial
10:16
Speaker 1: system works over there necessarily, but it is extremely weird
10:19
Speaker 1: to me why they would give him such a small fine,
10:22
Speaker 1: especially as such a successful actor. Maybe, maybe that's why,
10:27
Speaker 1: which is just even more sick. But again, just incredibly sad.
10:32
Speaker 1: But That is what happened, and that is Broderick's story,
10:37
Speaker 1: and now we move on to Sid Vicious. In the
10:40
Speaker 1: mid 1970s, London's punk scene became the crucible for one
10:45
Speaker 1: of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock history,
10:49
Speaker 1: John Simon Ritchie. later known as Sid Vicious, found himself
10:54
Speaker 1: at the epicenter of this cultural revolution. Despite his limited
10:58
Speaker 1: musical prowess, Vicious' charismatic presence and embodiment of punk's rebellious
11:03
Speaker 1: spirit quickly propelled him to the prominence within the movement.
11:07
Speaker 1: And Malcolm McLaren, the astute and often provocative manager of
11:11
Speaker 1: the Sex Pistols, recognized the potential in Vicious' raw energy
11:15
Speaker 1: and persona. And in February 1977, McLaren made the strategic
11:20
Speaker 1: decision to recruit Vicious as the band's new bassist, even
11:23
Speaker 1: though he lacked the fundamental skills to play the instrument.
11:27
Speaker 1: He was basically just, you know, a poster boy. And
11:29
Speaker 1: the unconventional choice underscored the punk's ethos that prioritized attitude
11:35
Speaker 1: and authenticity over technical proficiency. And the iconic look that
11:40
Speaker 1: Vicious cultivated, spiked hair, leather jackets, and an air of
11:45
Speaker 1: defiance became synonymous within the punk movement. He was just
11:49
Speaker 1: like an idol in the punk movement. And his visual
11:52
Speaker 1: presentation was as much part of his artistry as the
11:55
Speaker 1: musical contributions, if not more so. And Vicious in Style
11:58
Speaker 1: influenced a generation of disaffected youth, providing a template for
12:04
Speaker 1: punk fashion that would endure long after his brief career.
12:08
Speaker 1: And his struggles with substance abuse and self-destructive tendencies became
12:12
Speaker 1: inextricably linked with his public persona. Wopple's assessment that Vicious
12:17
Speaker 1: represented the nihilistic, self-destructive, dark, completely uncaring side of punk
12:24
Speaker 1: highlighted the duality of his appeal. A figure both celebrated
12:27
Speaker 1: and cautionary. And the media's fascination with Vicious just intensified
12:32
Speaker 1: when he became romantically involved with Nancy Spudgeon. Their relationship,
12:36
Speaker 1: tumultuous and often public, captured the imagination of the press
12:41
Speaker 1: and public alike. The portrayal of Sid and Nancy as
12:44
Speaker 1: Romeo and Juliet in black leather romanticized their volatile partnership,
12:50
Speaker 1: further elevating Vicious' status as a cultural icon while simultaneously
12:55
Speaker 1: foreshadowing the tragedy that would ultimately unfold. So as the
12:59
Speaker 1: Sex Pistols' notoriety reached its zenith, a dark, Undercurrent was
13:04
Speaker 1: pulling Sid Vicious towards an even more tumultuous fate. At
13:08
Speaker 1: the heart of the tragedy was Nancy Spungen, a figure
13:11
Speaker 1: whose influence on Vicious' life would prove both profound and destructive.
13:16
Speaker 1: So in 1978, Vicious and Spungen relocated to New York City,
13:20
Speaker 1: a move that exacerbated their already problematic drug use. In
13:24
Speaker 1: eyewitness accounts from the time at Chelsea Hotel, paint a
13:28
Speaker 1: very grim picture of their lifestyle. The couple was frequently
13:31
Speaker 1: observed in a state of disarray. Their room was littered
13:34
Speaker 1: in refuse, both heavily under the influence of heroin as well.
13:38
Speaker 1: And this environment of squalor and substance abuse just became
13:42
Speaker 1: the backdrop for this tragic event that would unfold. So
13:45
Speaker 1: on October 12th, 1978, the situation reached its tragic when
13:50
Speaker 1: Nancy Spungen was discovered dead in the couple's room at
13:54
Speaker 1: the Chelsea Hotel. She had sustained a fatal stab wound
13:58
Speaker 1: to the abdomen. And the circumstances surrounding her death remained
14:02
Speaker 1: shrouded in controversy to this day. And Vicious, who was
14:05
Speaker 1: present at the scene, initially confessed to the murder. However,
14:09
Speaker 1: later he would retract his statement, claiming to have been
14:12
Speaker 1: asleep at the time of Spungen's death. And eyewitness accounts
14:15
Speaker 1: from the Chelsea Hotel provide a nuanced perspective on Vicious'
14:19
Speaker 1: and Spungen's relationship. Their interactions were characterized by a volatile
14:24
Speaker 1: mix of adoration and violence, a very extremely toxic and
14:29
Speaker 1: unhealthy relationship. While Vicious was known to physically abuse Spungen,
14:33
Speaker 1: he also displayed a very deep affection for her. And
14:36
Speaker 1: this paradoxal dynamic complicates the narrative of their relationship and
14:41
Speaker 1: the events leading to Spungen's death. And in the aftermath
14:44
Speaker 1: of Spungen's death, Vicious spiraled further into despair and self-destruction.
14:48
Speaker 1: And he would attempt slower slide shortly after the incident,
14:52
Speaker 1: a clear indication of his mental anguish. And despite being
14:55
Speaker 1: released on bail, Vicious was unable to escape the gravitational
14:59
Speaker 1: pull of his addiction. And on February 2nd, 1979, he
15:03
Speaker 1: would be found dead from a heroin overdose. bringing a
15:07
Speaker 1: very tragic end to his tumultuous life before he could
15:11
Speaker 1: stand trial for Spungen's death. So we will never know
15:14
Speaker 1: how she died or how the whole thing unfolded. So again,
15:18
Speaker 1: just a very, very tragic event. That brings us to
15:23
Speaker 1: our next celebrity, which I'm sure every single one of
15:27
Speaker 1: you will know, and that is Caitlin Spungen. So Caitlyn
15:32
Speaker 1: Jenner is another one of these tragic tales. Once a
15:36
Speaker 1: famed Olympic star to one surrounded by multiple dramas. However,
15:40
Speaker 1: her previous skills as a decathlon world record holder later
15:44
Speaker 1: became a media sensation. And carrying the Jenner title, Caitlyn
15:48
Speaker 1: Jenner is obviously directly associated with the Kardashians. Once married
15:52
Speaker 1: to Kris Jenner. And everyone remembers the horrors of keeping
15:56
Speaker 1: up with the Kardashians. The show is still going, which
15:59
Speaker 1: is crazy to me. However, this once star full of
16:02
Speaker 1: global success had a horrible accident that resulted in the
16:06
Speaker 1: loss of a life. On February 7th, 2015, Jenner was
16:11
Speaker 1: driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. You've
16:14
Speaker 1: definitely driven down this road in GTA 5. But driving
16:18
Speaker 1: a black Cadillac Escalade, which was towing a trailer, another
16:23
Speaker 1: vehicle ahead of Jenner was driven by a woman by
16:26
Speaker 1: the name of Kim Howe, who was 69. Driving her Lexus,
16:29
Speaker 1: eyes focused on the road. However, the woman in front
16:33
Speaker 1: of Howe had slowed down, driven by a woman named
16:35
Speaker 1: Jessica Steindorf. And because of this, Howe would brake, but
16:40
Speaker 1: Jenner was going too fast. And estimated to be going
16:43
Speaker 1: between 38 to 46 miles per hour, Jenner would rear-end
16:48
Speaker 1: Howe's Lexus, pushing her into oncoming traffic. And the Lexus
16:52
Speaker 1: was then struck in a head-on collision by a Hummer.
16:56
Speaker 1: killing Kim Howe on the scene. And to make matters worse,
16:59
Speaker 1: Jenner also hit that Prius that was in front of Howe.
17:02
Speaker 1: And with no injuries at all, Jenner stayed at the
17:05
Speaker 1: scene knowing that this was very, very serious. Police would
17:09
Speaker 1: then force Jenner to take a sobriety test and would
17:12
Speaker 1: question her. However, Jenner was not intoxicated and surveillance footage
17:16
Speaker 1: showed that Jenner was neither texting nor using her phone whatsoever.
17:20
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure exactly how they would tell this
17:23
Speaker 1: from video, but I guess it was slowed down, but
17:27
Speaker 1: what do I know, you know? So she was in
17:29
Speaker 1: her legit legal right, but despite it, she was given
17:33
Speaker 1: criminal charges. And in September 2015, the LA District Attorney's
17:38
Speaker 1: Office declined to file charges against her, stating that there
17:41
Speaker 1: was no gross negligence and lack of criminal intent. Although
17:44
Speaker 1: this was not charged federally, Jenner was part of three
17:48
Speaker 1: civil suits from each of the vehicles. One of the
17:51
Speaker 1: stepchildren from Howe who had no living relatives, the Prius owner,
17:55
Speaker 1: Jessica Steindorf, and the Hummer driver. And all of these
17:58
Speaker 1: were settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. But
18:02
Speaker 1: we later learned that the Hummer family, that of the
18:05
Speaker 1: Wolf Melisies, sued her upwards of 800,000 dollars. No doubt
18:11
Speaker 1: an amount that would help pay off the emotional toll
18:14
Speaker 1: of being involved in the death of Kim Howe. So
18:17
Speaker 1: it seems as though money just fixed this entire situation
18:22
Speaker 1: and it was shoved under the rug. I mean, it
18:24
Speaker 1: was in the tabloids, but I mean, I never even
18:28
Speaker 1: heard of it. I was alive during all of this.
18:30
Speaker 1: I was an adult. So I don't know. It smells fishy,
18:36
Speaker 1: but I can't, I don't know. I don't know anything.
18:38
Speaker 1: I'm just, I'm just a reporter. I'm just I'm just
18:40
Speaker 1: the middleman. I'm just telling you what all the facts
18:42
Speaker 1: and next up I believe a lot of you will
18:44
Speaker 1: be familiar with if you're around my age You know
18:47
Speaker 1: ten years younger ten years older I feel like you
18:49
Speaker 1: would have seen this guy's face before but it is
18:52
Speaker 1: Phil Lewis born on February 14th 1968 he began his
18:57
Speaker 1: career acting in various films and shows however his career
19:01
Speaker 1: would be Cemented into fame by his performance on the
19:04
Speaker 1: popular Disney Channel show the Suite life of Zack and
19:08
Speaker 1: Cody one of my favorite shows as a kid as
19:10
Speaker 1: the character Mr. Mosby, the hotel manager for the location
19:14
Speaker 1: of the show, the Tipton Hotel. And the show was
19:16
Speaker 1: so successful and able to have around three seasons that
19:20
Speaker 1: it eventually was continued through a spinoff, The Suite Life
19:23
Speaker 1: on Deck, which also one of my favorite shows as
19:25
Speaker 1: a kid, which was a majority of the same cast
19:28
Speaker 1: except on the cruise ship named the S.S. Tipton. And
19:31
Speaker 1: this show also ran for about three seasons and he
19:33
Speaker 1: would continue to work on other projects as the time
19:36
Speaker 1: went on. And he was able to direct some episodes
19:38
Speaker 1: of The Suite Life and even directed episodes of the
19:42
Speaker 1: alternative shows such as Ant Farm, Austin and Ally, Good
19:45
Speaker 1: Luck Charlie, Kickin' It, and Jesse. So very prominent in
19:49
Speaker 1: the Disney world. So he was a staple of many childhoods,
19:52
Speaker 1: including my own. And there were frequent moments in that
19:55
Speaker 1: show that many can reference back to. For me, it
19:58
Speaker 1: was the Prindle scene. Like I know it was Brenda's song,
20:01
Speaker 1: but it was also him. I don't know why that
20:03
Speaker 1: That scene is caked into my memory, and I was
20:06
Speaker 1: a big fan of Mr. Mosby. Are you referring to
20:09
Speaker 1: the shift lever that says P-R-N-D-L? I'm not a child, Mosby.
20:14
Speaker 1: I know how to spell Prindle. However, Mr. Mosby, aka
20:17
Speaker 1: Phil Lewis, actually had a bit of a darker past
20:20
Speaker 1: before the running of these shows. One that many seem
20:23
Speaker 1: to forget. So on December 28th, 1991, Phil Lewis was
20:27
Speaker 1: involved in a fatal drunk driving accident in Bethesda, Maryland.
20:32
Speaker 1: He was still young, only 23 years old at the time,
20:35
Speaker 1: and was just an aspiring actor. The crash would result
20:38
Speaker 1: in the death of a 21-year-old Isabel Dorate, a recent
20:42
Speaker 1: immigrant who moved to the US to work as a nanny.
20:45
Speaker 1: And her injuries were fatal and she was pronounced dead
20:48
Speaker 1: shortly after the crash. And the charges for these were
20:51
Speaker 1: manslaughter and driving under the influence, And his blood alcohol
20:55
Speaker 1: was about the legal limit, therefore leading to the charges
20:59
Speaker 1: of vehicular manslaughter, which he completely accepted. And in 1993,
21:03
Speaker 1: he was then sentenced to five years in prison, although
21:06
Speaker 1: he only served one behind bars. So instead he was
21:09
Speaker 1: forced to do 300 plus hours of community service. And
21:12
Speaker 1: this wasn't the classic pickup trash on the side of
21:14
Speaker 1: the road, but instead working at a prison based theater
21:17
Speaker 1: to help educate them about the dangers of driving while intoxicated,
21:21
Speaker 1: which I think is great. You know, like, I mean,
21:24
Speaker 1: something so awful that happened and that was clearly his
21:28
Speaker 1: fault and his doing. He is trying to make into something,
21:31
Speaker 1: or he did try to make into something that was,
21:33
Speaker 1: you know, relatively positive. And this helped repair his damaged
21:37
Speaker 1: public image and allowed him to continue to do stuff
21:40
Speaker 1: he loved to do, which was acting. And he was
21:42
Speaker 1: eventually able to build his career back from the ground up. Again,
21:46
Speaker 1: eventually leading him into two popular shows and other appearances
21:49
Speaker 1: on Disney and Nickelodeon. And the crime he committed was
21:52
Speaker 1: over 10 years ago in the past when he began
21:54
Speaker 1: acting on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Although
21:56
Speaker 1: a tragic tale, I feel he eventually did redeem himself.
22:00
Speaker 1: And although this act of violence probably haunts him to
22:03
Speaker 1: this day, I'm glad he could become a staple of
22:06
Speaker 1: many of our childhoods and do some good in the
22:09
Speaker 1: system as well. And he's still doing some directing here
22:12
Speaker 1: and there, helping direct a few episodes in 2024 of
22:15
Speaker 1: a sitcom called Papa's House. And in 2023, he was
22:19
Speaker 1: in a sitcom called The Really Loud House as Mr. Rickshaw.
22:22
Speaker 1: So it seems his career is at a bit of
22:24
Speaker 1: a standstill, but hopefully... Hopefully he's happy. And next we
22:28
Speaker 1: have Ted Kennedy. So as most of you will know,
22:32
Speaker 1: the tragic tales of the Kennedys is a long one.
22:36
Speaker 1: Many of them died or been assassinated and tons of
22:40
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories around their deaths still exist and are frequently
22:44
Speaker 1: talked about till this day. However, one of the deaths
22:47
Speaker 1: involves the uncle of RFK Jr., Ted Kennedy, except he
22:52
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the one to lose his life. Edward, Ted,
22:56
Speaker 1: Kennedy was born February 22nd, 1932 in Boston, Massachusetts. He
23:01
Speaker 1: is best known for not only being a Kennedy, but
23:04
Speaker 1: his career as a US Senator. And he was actually
23:06
Speaker 1: one of the longest serving senators in US history, which
23:10
Speaker 1: is insane, especially for a Kennedy given their bad luck.
23:15
Speaker 1: But on the evening of July 18th, 1969, Ted Kennedy
23:16
Speaker 1: attended a private party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. I
23:23
Speaker 1: don't know if I said that right. The party was
23:25
Speaker 1: a reunion for the Boiler Room Girls, a group who
23:28
Speaker 1: worked on Robert F. Kennedy's presidential campaign before his assassination.
23:32
Speaker 1: So around 11.15 p.m., Mary Jo Copenchny, a 28-year-old former
23:38
Speaker 1: campaign worker and close associate, of RFKs would leave the
23:41
Speaker 1: party with him. Anyway, the two would leave the party
23:44
Speaker 1: together and supposedly they were driving back on the ferry
23:47
Speaker 1: dock so she could get back to her hotel. And
23:49
Speaker 1: instead of the main road, he drove her down a
23:52
Speaker 1: narrow and dangerous unlit dirt path. He then suddenly lost
23:56
Speaker 1: control and went off the bridge into the pond below,
23:59
Speaker 1: the car flipping upside down into the water and submerging
24:02
Speaker 1: his passenger. And he was able to escape, but his
24:06
Speaker 1: passenger continued to be trapped. Mary Jo. And according to himself,
24:12
Speaker 1: he dove in seven or eight times hoping to save her,
24:16
Speaker 1: but couldn't get her from how the vehicle was situated.
24:19
Speaker 1: He then decided to swim to shore and left, just
24:22
Speaker 1: left the scene, leaving Mary Jo Capincini behind to die.
24:26
Speaker 1: And he just would return back to his hotel like
24:31
Speaker 1: nothing ever happened. So like you may think, like maybe
24:33
Speaker 1: he's in shock. You know, maybe it's a hereditary situation.
24:35
Speaker 1: You know, the backseat, Girl dies, gets decapitated. Don't know
24:40
Speaker 1: if you've seen that movie before. Highly recommend watching it.
24:42
Speaker 1: But he just doesn't tell anybody and he's just in
24:44
Speaker 1: shock the whole time. So maybe he's in shock. Maybe
24:45
Speaker 1: he just, he doesn't, he'll let everybody know in the morning.
24:50
Speaker 1: But no, he doesn't. He just went back to his
24:53
Speaker 1: hotel and just still didn't report the accident that happened.
24:56
Speaker 1: Not until two fishermen supposedly spotted the upside down car
25:00
Speaker 1: and called the police. So it wasn't him that contacted
25:03
Speaker 1: the police. It was two fishermen. And this is what's
25:05
Speaker 1: fucked up. Okay, according to investigators studying the scene, an
25:10
Speaker 1: air pocket was discovered, which would have gave Kepenchny enough
25:15
Speaker 1: time to survive if authorities were called immediately and not,
25:20
Speaker 1: you know, you just go into your hotel and just
25:22
Speaker 1: not telling anyone. So he literally had a chance to
25:25
Speaker 1: save her and didn't. And on July 25th, a week later,
25:30
Speaker 1: he pled guilty to leading the scene of the crime
25:32
Speaker 1: and he was sentenced to two months in jail. And
25:36
Speaker 1: if you think that wasn't a lot of time, the
25:39
Speaker 1: sentence was actually just suspended altogether and he just served
25:42
Speaker 1: no time. Justice. And knowing this would damage his career,
25:47
Speaker 1: instead of leaving the Senate, he continued to run and
25:51
Speaker 1: stated he would run for re-election the next year. And
25:53
Speaker 1: in 1980, he would run for president. However, his life
25:56
Speaker 1: had been stained with his career-destroying story, which ultimately led
26:00
Speaker 1: to a dominating defeat. But still, He did do well
26:04
Speaker 1: in the Senate and unfortunately passed away from brain cancer
26:06
Speaker 1: on August 25th, 2009. But the entire topic is debated
26:11
Speaker 1: if it was a deliberate murder or if he was
26:13
Speaker 1: hiding something. Was it an affair? Did he have secrets
26:16
Speaker 1: to hide? We just don't know and I don't think
26:20
Speaker 1: we ever will. So again, extremely unfortunate. Now last but
26:24
Speaker 1: not least, or maybe least, I don't really know. Last
26:29
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, We have someone who I'm assuming everyone knows,
26:34
Speaker 1: and one of the most recent ones, which is Alec Baldwin.
26:38
Speaker 1: And if you don't know who Alec Baldwin is, his
26:40
Speaker 1: real name is Alexander Ray Baldwin III. That's a lot
26:44
Speaker 1: of names. And he was born on April 3rd, 1958,
26:47
Speaker 1: and rose to fame in countless movies. He has that
26:50
Speaker 1: certain look and tone that stands out in movies, at
26:53
Speaker 1: least for me. I mean, he's got like that, that
26:58
Speaker 1: stare that he always does, and he talks like, Very soft,
27:01
Speaker 1: very fast, very... This is a... I'm like turning into
27:05
Speaker 1: Jeff Goldblum right now. I don't know what's going on.
27:07
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop. But he became a bit more established
27:09
Speaker 1: in his role in The Hunt for Red October, made
27:13
Speaker 1: in 1990, alongside Sean Connery. And his fame grew through
27:16
Speaker 1: the movie Beetlejuice, playing one of the main characters, and
27:19
Speaker 1: his career just continued to skyrocket as he gained more
27:22
Speaker 1: and more roles in Hollywood. But of course, his most
27:25
Speaker 1: famous performance was in the live-action 2003 Cat in the Hat,
27:30
Speaker 1: which is the reason we don't have any more live-action Dr.
27:33
Speaker 1: Seuss movies. I personally liked it. I personally liked Cat
27:37
Speaker 1: in the Hat, okay? Mike Myers. He was good. I
27:39
Speaker 1: think it was good. But anyway, he has a plethora
27:41
Speaker 1: of movies. You definitely know who he is. But what
27:44
Speaker 1: you may or may not know, if you don't deep
27:47
Speaker 1: dive into anything celebrity, is that Alec Baldwin got a
27:51
Speaker 1: role in a movie called Rust. A western movie, to
27:54
Speaker 1: be specific. Which would come out in 2024. I never
27:58
Speaker 1: saw it. And in this movie, Alec Baldwin plays the
28:00
Speaker 1: main character, Harland Rust, in... aging outlaw. And the story
28:05
Speaker 1: was about this outlaw, Harland Rust, who came out of
28:07
Speaker 1: hiding to rescue a 13 year old nephew after he
28:10
Speaker 1: was sentenced to hang for his crimes he accidentally committed.
28:13
Speaker 1: And it's a cool idea and it began filming in
28:16
Speaker 1: 2020 and 2021. However, everything would come to a screeching
28:20
Speaker 1: halt after a horrible accident. In October of 2021, there
28:25
Speaker 1: were many problems on set. The budget of the film
28:28
Speaker 1: was around $ 8 million, which was not your regular budget
28:32
Speaker 1: for a movie. There were complaints of safety concerns from
28:34
Speaker 1: those in the production, poor firearm handling procedures, and even
28:39
Speaker 1: accidental firearm discharges. very bad. And this would become reality.
28:45
Speaker 1: As on October 21st, 2021, an accidental firearm discharge would
28:51
Speaker 1: take someone's life. And during a rehearsal during a church scene,
28:55
Speaker 1: Baldwin was meant to be armed and draw his. 45
28:58
Speaker 1: Colt revolver. And everything was going to plan, and this
29:01
Speaker 1: scene involved him pointing his firearm at the camera for
29:04
Speaker 1: a dramatic shot when the gun went off accidentally. And
29:08
Speaker 1: standing behind the camera were his co-director, Joel Souza, and cinematographer,
29:14
Speaker 1: Helena Hutchins. And the bullet supposedly hitting Hutchins in the
29:18
Speaker 1: chest where it passed through her, then hitting Souza in
29:22
Speaker 1: the shoulder. And this bullet was a live round, which is,
29:27
Speaker 1: wild as to why it was ever on set and
29:30
Speaker 1: how the mix-up even happened because you that is just
29:33
Speaker 1: never the case you don't have live rounds on set
29:36
Speaker 1: and Sousa would survive however Hutchins would pass away in
29:40
Speaker 1: the hospital. And an investigation was open on set trying
29:44
Speaker 1: to understand how the mix-up could have happened and how
29:47
Speaker 1: so much neglect would be involved with having a live
29:50
Speaker 1: round on set. And according to the story, Baldwin stated
29:53
Speaker 1: he never pulled the trigger, practicing gun safety. However, other
29:57
Speaker 1: reports stated he had no idea how to handle the
30:00
Speaker 1: firearm in the first place. as he's been pretty vocal
30:02
Speaker 1: about his distaste for guns. And the armorer on set
30:06
Speaker 1: was also investigated, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and assistant David Hulls. And
30:11
Speaker 1: they both stated that the weapon was prepped and given
30:13
Speaker 1: to Baldwin cold, meaning safe, and then handed it to Baldwin. However,
30:19
Speaker 1: it was found it was not properly checked if it
30:21
Speaker 1: was truly safe. And this then just created a domino
30:24
Speaker 1: effect of lawsuits and allegations towards Baldwin, calling him a
30:28
Speaker 1: cold-blooded killer, while pointing the figure at the armorer and
30:32
Speaker 1: those on set for the mistake that cost someone their life.
30:36
Speaker 1: And in January of 2023, both Baldwin and Gutierrez read,
30:40
Speaker 1: were charged with involuntary manslaughter. However, later the same year,
30:44
Speaker 1: in April, his charges were dropped but could still be refiled.
30:48
Speaker 1: And prosecutors reopened the case and reinstated that manslaughter charge
30:52
Speaker 1: in 2024. And on top of that, he received civil
30:55
Speaker 1: lawsuits from Hutchins' family for her wrongful death. And several
30:58
Speaker 1: crew members on set also joined in, stating that they
31:01
Speaker 1: suffered emotional trauma under these working conditions and experiencing someone
31:05
Speaker 1: being killed in front of them. and some were settled
31:08
Speaker 1: privately while others ultimately are still ongoing. In July of 2024,
31:13
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin stood trial for the killing and the judge
31:16
Speaker 1: ultimately dismissed the case. He was not charged and therefore
31:20
Speaker 1: walked away a free man. However, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found
31:25
Speaker 1: guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March of 2024. And this
31:29
Speaker 1: obviously angered a lot of people. However, it's hard to
31:33
Speaker 1: see how he was at fault for sure. Sure, he
31:37
Speaker 1: could have examined the weapon himself, but if he was
31:40
Speaker 1: handed a live round which shouldn't have been there in
31:44
Speaker 1: the first place and was declared safe, he felt there
31:48
Speaker 1: was no reason to check, let alone probably didn't know
31:51
Speaker 1: how to check, especially since he had a disdain towards guns.
31:54
Speaker 1: So it's very gray and confusing and just fucking sad.
31:59
Speaker 1: So it may seem unfair and a lot of people
32:02
Speaker 1: talking about his case are demanding justice. And I'm sure
32:06
Speaker 1: this is a massive hit on his name and the
32:09
Speaker 1: feelings of killing someone are definitely going to always be
32:12
Speaker 1: on his mind. I mean, awful all around. Like, I feel...
32:17
Speaker 1: So horrible for all the people that were involved in
32:19
Speaker 1: that whole project. And it's just the negligence, like, just
32:22
Speaker 1: so easily avoidable. And there could have been a woman
32:27
Speaker 1: still walking here on Earth with us if those people
32:31
Speaker 1: were negligent. So, just incredibly sad. But these cases just
32:34
Speaker 1: show even riches and fame don't always grant you immunity
32:39
Speaker 1: from tragedy. And sometimes they do, which is... really horrifying.
32:44
Speaker 1: But some were tragic accidents while others were deeper and
32:48
Speaker 1: were struggling with personal demons. Either way, all of them
32:52
Speaker 1: were extremely sad and tragic and that is it for
32:56
Speaker 1: this video. So let me know what other videos you
32:58
Speaker 1: guys want to see down below. I appreciate you watching.
33:02
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being here and I hope you stay safe.
33:06
Speaker 1: And until next time, I will see your beautiful face. Bye.
