5. Pamela Anderson
We all know Pamela Anderson as the bosom-bouncing star in Baywatch, from her time as thePlayboy front-cover front-runner, and for her sex tape with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. It goes without saying that Anderson has lived a wild life, and with that lifestyle comes drugs and booze.
Although rather than her fame being the trigger, it seems something much darker was at work in Anderson’s life. In a 2014 speech during the Cannes Film Festival, she opened up about being sexually assaulted during her teens, and using cocaine and alcohol to numb those thoughts. She has since stated that she is working harder than ever on her recovery. This picture above is when she was probably not working quite as hard on her recovery, as she is helped out of a nightclub in Hollywood.
4. Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson went from being one of the most well-respected, highest-paid actors in Hollywood, to a cancerous sore of the industry, practically overnight. His well-documented ranting and ravings – including racial and religious slurs to an arresting officer while he was getting a DUI – blacklisted him from Hollywood.
Gibson has struggled with alcohol since he started drinking at the age of 13. He has been seen by paparazzi at AA meetings, was arrested for DUI in 2006, and has been the target of domestic-violence investigations. In the picture above, we see an obviously inebriated and crazed Gibson fending off paparazzi while he plans to make his escape in the Prius behind him. Since his troubles, Gibson has gained the support of many colleagues to give him another chance, though his fate in Hollywood still remains divided and uncertain.
