There’s nothing new about celebs acting out. But it seems crazy is the new black in Hollywood. Take the case of one-hit wonder Blu Cantrell. At 2 a.m. Wednesday, Cantrell was seen running through the streets erratically screaming that people were trying to kill her. Police, who didn’t recognize the “Hit ‘Em Style” singer, took her to a hospital for psychological evaluation — but it doesn’t end there.
Cantrell claimed that “someone was giving her poisonous gas.” Her episode lasted for hours.
As much as we expect celebrities to hold it together in the public eye, it’s not always the case. Here are the crazy celebs whose genius toes the insanity line.
Columbus Short
Back in April, “Scandal” star Columbus Short was at the height of his career when he threatened to kill his wife. He was not only charged for domestic violence, but also child abuse due to their two year old being in the home. Shortly after, he was dropped from the show. Short was recently arrested for failing to appear in court.
Dennis Rodman
Known to be the best rebounder in the NBA, Dennis Rodman has had a sequence of outrageous moments. From marrying himself while wearing a wedding dress to befriending the supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, we can’t seem to wrap our heads around it all.
Kanye West
Dubbing himself as “Yeezus” is just enough to label Kanye West a bit cray. The rapper is publicly known to go on outrageous rants about his “gifted” lifestyle and snap on paparazzi.
Naomi Campbell
Everyone duck! Naomi Campbell is known to be a hot-headed but fierce model in the fashion industry. Back in 2007, she plead guilty to assaulting her former maid by throwing a Blackberry at her head.
Katt Williams
As much as we loved laughing at Katt Williams, we certainly weren’t laughing when we learned of his crazy episodes. After leading police on a chase, Williams went into a Target and punched an employee for allegedly calling him the n-word. He was later admitted into a mental institution.
Maia Campbell
The ’90s beauty we all know for her role on “In The House” had been battling bipolar disorder her entire life when in 2009, a video surfaced of her allegedly high on cocaine. She finally reached out to Iyanla Vanzant to fix her life.
Tyra Banks
“We were all rooting for you!” was the most famous line in “America’s Next Top Model” history. Tyra Banks has been known for her cooky behavior, but we definitely believed it after watching her explode on contestant Tiffany.
Lark Voorhies
One of our favorites on “Saved By The Bell,” Lark Voorhies is almost unrecognizable. She barely makes any appearances but when she does, she wears a wig and lots of two-toned makeup. According to sources, her mother claims that Voorhies has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder but she denies it. We hope she’s OK!
