10 Shocking celebrity affairs that went public (With Pictures)

2. Hugh Grant Cheats on Elizabeth Hurley

Hugh Grant‘s relationship with Elizabeth Hurley was one of the most famous of the generation. At the premiere of Four Weddings and Funeral, it was she who, on Hugh’s arm in a safety pin Versace dress, singlehandedly made the red carpet more of a fashion show than the runway. They, together, epitomized sophisticated Britishness. That’s why it came as such a worldwide shock when Hugh Grant was arrested in 1995 in L.A. for getting caught in the act with Divine Brown, an escort, in his car on the side of the road. As Brown tells it, Grant cruised down Sunset Strip late at night. When he saw her, he offered her money for her services. During, he said to her: “I always wanted to sleep with a black woman. That’s my fantasy.” They were arrested together, the story hopping from the police station to international news outlets and triggering Grant’s fall from grace.
