7. Charlize Theron – Mother Shot Her Father
Charlize Theron may be the most beautiful creature to ever bless the face of the earth, but she has had her share of intense difficulties, especially as a young girl growing up in an abusive household. Her father, Charles, whom she is named after, was an alcoholic and would verbally abuse her mother Gerda.
Theron’s father came home drunk one night and shot at the locked gate and then through the kitchen door. Theron even remembers him saying, “Tonight I’m going to kill you both with the shotgun,” referring to her and her mother. After that, Gerda took her own gun and shot Theron’s father, killing him. The attorney general ruled that the murder was in self-defence and Gerda was not charged.
