1. Jessica Alba Was Kidnapped
Do you remember when Jessica Alba was kidnapped and missing for fourteen hours before being found gagged and tied up in the back of a trunk? Me either! When she was working on the set of Flipper in 1996 as a 15-year-old teenage girl, she was suddenly gone.
Thankfully, she was found, but the perpetrator remains anonymous. I don’t know if I would call this a scandal, but it’s a terrifying story with a happy ending.

Someone suggests, “He went on a shopping spree and bought loads of sneakers, and when she discovered there weren’t any in her size, she put them in the bathtub and set them on fire (I think there were other relationship issues, but this was like the straw that broke the camels back.”

Madonna is no stranger to controversy and scandal. Her song “Justify My Love,” from her Erotica album, was banned from MTV. They eventually played it at night.

8. Robin Givens Spoke Up
When Robin Givens spoke out against the domestic abuse and violence she suffered at the hands of Mike Tyson, it was quite the scandal. One notes, “She was named one of the most hated women for speaking out about it. How Tyson was excused for that is beyond me. He’s one of the most renowned fighters of all time, and people blamed Robin for being beaten by him?”
