Celeb scandals of the 90s

I'd forgotten all about Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland until I read this piece about it. And then wondered how I could've forgotten as it was huge! And those were the days before social media!

I never realised that Michelle Pfeiffer played a conciliatory role or that the wedding cake apparently spoke to a tabloid reporter!

What are some scandals you remember from that period? (I'm housebound with Covid - humour me!)

Someone stole jelly. Was that Wozza?

River Phoenix dying outside a nightclub in 1993 Sad

OhWhyNot · 04/02/2022 21:12

Wasn’t there lots of roasting in the 90’s

And it wasn’t anything to do with comedians taking the piss out of each other

Sorry StrychnineIntheSandwiches i can’t still remember the photos but it’s not quite as disturbing as hearing about David Mellors bedroom outfit

godmum56 · 04/02/2022 21:13

George Michael in the public toilets.

He liked to wear the Chelsea strip

OhWhyNot · 04/02/2022 21:15

Apparently…

Prince Charles hacked messages where he said to Camilla he wished he was a Tampax up inside her. I have never been able to forget that one.

WheelieBinPrincess · 04/02/2022 21:17

Yeah AWT got caught doing that self scan thing at Waitrose I think and made off with a halibut.

godmum56 · 04/02/2022 21:18

John Major and Edwina Currie Envy not jealous

I remember this. Unfortunately. PC at his most eloquent...

The Sun kindly made a mock for photo for those who were struggling to picture David Mellor in the Chelsea strip

LaQuern · 04/02/2022 21:22

Am I the only one to think that, in light of scandals etc these days, the 90s ones are by and large comparatively innocent?

I worked in a hotel close to where the royals were on holiday when this came out, you couldn’t get a tabloid for love nor money in the local village. Someone came in to work with one and nearly got fired.

Oh gosh yes Prince Charles and the tampon thing.
I'm afraid this is a noughties one OP, but I hope you will excuse me, the first thing I thought of was Gareth Gates and Jordan / Katie Price. I was totally gobsmacked!
