4. Chuck Berry – Peeping Tom
Chuck Berry is one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived and a music pioneer who brought rock and roll to the masses in the 50s and 60s. By the time the 90s rolled around, Berry’s reputation had fallen from guitar god to creepy old man who spies on women in the bathroom.
After decades of playing the guitar, Berry decided to settled down a bit and buy a few restaurants. For some inexplicable reason, Berry then decided to install cameras into the women’s bathrooms under the pretense of trying to catch a thieving worker. Needless to say, many women weren’t too happy and Berry got slapped with a class action suit from 59 women.
He may have turned into a perverted and seedy old man, but Berry was still rolling in his rockstar millions and he eventually paid $1.2 million to settle the class action suit.
