Celebrities Who You Never Knew Have Killed People

Being famous can insulate you from a lot of legal and PR trouble. That’s why sometimes a famous person can cause the death of a normie like you or me, and you don’t even hear about it. But it’s true: Celebrities do sometimes kill people.

Because accidents happen. And murders also happen…

In 2006, pop singer Brandy was involved in a tragic car crash that killed the driver of the other vehicle, 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj.

Though Brandy wasn’t charged with any crime, she was involved with several lawsuits over the incident, all of which she settled out of court.

In February 2015, Olympic gold medalist and media personality Caitlyn Jenner caused a multiple-car accident while driving her SUV. The crash killed the woman driving the car Jenner hit, and injured others.

Jenner wasn’t charged with any crime, but several lawsuits against her evolved from the tragic incident.

Murder was the case that they gave him. In 1993, Martha Stewart’s best friend, Snoop Dogg, was arrested in connection to the murder of a rival gang member.

Snoop didn’t pull the trigger, but was behind the wheel of the vehicle involved in the alleged drive-by shooting. Both Snoop and the alleged shooter were acquitted.
