12. Tucker Carlson – Racist Comments
This is a sad case of how family relations can end up getting you nabbed for something that was not even your business to begin with. Bucky Carlson is the brother of Tucker Carlson, a prestigious editor at the Daily Caller. Tucker was having a bit of an argument with Amy Spitalnick, who was a spokesperson for the mayor of New York. Well, Amy was a bit offended by how Tucker’s office responded to her requests for revision. When Tucker’s brother saw the email exchange, he chimed in and well, and his rants were very much offensive. They got leaked, and Tucker ended up taking a lot of heat for that.
11. Brian Banks – Accused of Rape
Brian Banks was a pro football player in the United States, having palyed with the Atlanta Falcons. He was also the victim of being falsely accused of a terrible crime. He spent five long years behind bars after being accused of rape (his classmate outed him) and only in 2012, after careful consideration of the evidence, was he released and exonerated of the charges. Five grueling years in prison for something that he did not do. In fact, the classmate who accused him ended up admitting (in what she thought was private) that she made the whole story up!
