Celebs who paid people off to shut up – In Hollywood today, it seems that the stars who are the most famous are the ones who are willing to divulge all the personal details of their lives. Of course, there are also instances where paparazzi or ravenous media outlets do “whatever it takes” to get the “dirt” on celebrities.

Some famous people are OK with this concept for the most part. Some do an excellent job when it comes to hiring the right reputation management team. Still, other stars have realized the value of money in the most manipulative way—they’ve paid people to keep quiet.
Money has been used as a way for celebrities to get media outlets and first-hand witnesses to keep quiet about a scandal. Of course, there are also times when the people involved in the potential scandal are promised a pretty penny to keep the story a secret. No, this isn’t a new way of dealing with tabloid-worthy stories, and yes, people who are not celebrities often use this method as well. However, when a famous person is involved in a “hush money” transaction, the amount of money at stake is usually pretty high. In fact, it’s pretty safe to say that some people form bonds with celebrities in hopes that they will one day be paid off for one reason or another. Here are 12 stars who paid people off to shut up.
12. Jeremy McConnell
Irish model and reality TV star Jeremy McConnell is known for his smoldering stare and tattoos. These days, he’s also in the spotlight for not being faithful to Stephanie Davis, a fellow reality show star. Initially, Jeremy denied being with another woman. A few weeks later, he admitted that he “ended up with” the woman in question. Two weeks after having an affair with the first woman, McConnell was with another woman in Scotland, and was accused of paying her to keep quiet. The Daily Star was able to obtain private messages between Jeremy and second woman. He is recorded saying: “I had fun but you need to keep quiet please.” When the woman asked why, he said “Steph”. It has been reported that Jeremy told the woman “if you want money, I have money,” and he also asked her not to take money from magazines if they offered to do an interview with her. It has also recently been reported that he and Davis are back together—again.
