I'm surprised it took TMZ 10 days to discover this info. There's no mugshot out there currently.

One day you're hanging out with the president and next thing you know your hometown of Fairmont, West Virginia is now known as the town Nick Saban is from and you're just a washed up drunk living in it.

Didn't she somewhat recently go through a pretty nasty divorce?

she kinda deserves it honestly

She's unhinged, has defended abusers in the olympic gymnastics scandal

she got millions from a divorce settlement and then had the gal to crowdfund her own medical bills despite her money.

Seems like this is just the next logical step in her fall, putting others lives at risk

Well, she was the one swerving. An innocent person could have died.

She got $1.95 million in total assets in the divorce. Most was the house and retirement. She wasn't poor, but let's not pretend she was anywhere close to wealthy or swimming in cash. A marital estate worth $4million in her 50's is honestly kind of paltry for someone who was so famous.

Kinda sad, really.

She was America’s Sweetheart in 1984.

How is the color of the car relevant? Racist

This article also mentions she has had two hip replacements. (I guess the US Olympic committee won't put that in their ads.) And that she's trying to get money from the manufacturers to the tune of two million.

Anyone busted for a DUI deserves all the ridicule they get, IMO.

There’s around 1.5 million DUI’s annually. Is it necessary to make a thread when it happens to be a celebrity?

I’m not condoning the act, but I’m not going to cancel someone either
