Tawny Kitaen Hit With DUI Charge

Bachelor Party star busted after fender bender

Share

(Newser) – Troubled actress Tawny Kitaen, best known as the bombshell star of 1984's Bachelor Party, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of DUI, according to Newport Beach, Calif., police. A veteran of the TV show Celebrity Rehab, Kitaen has a history of drug abuse, but it wasn't clear whether she was drunk or high during the collision that led to the charges, a police spokesman told the Orange County Register.

It wasn't clear whether she was drunk or high during the collision that led to the charges, but the consensus is that she was massively fucked-up. Reply

what a screw up! People give celebrities too many free passes but why do these people who have so much opportunity have to destroy it with such self destructive behavior? DUI is a serious offense and fortunately she did not kill an innocent family over her own selfish act. I'd tell her to get some help but I think she's tried that before. Sorry if I'm not sympathetic to her and her addiction. Too many innocent lives are lost over idiots like her. Reply

I agree about too many free passes, but in answer to your query about rich and/or famous people screwing up, I posit that it really is true that money does not buy happiness. Inner demons don't disappear just because one has money. Well, unless the inner demons are the good ol' fashioned fears of not having a roof over your head, food on the table, clothes on your back or enough to keep the bills caught up...

Regardless of the cause of her impairment, she is a danger to society. Over the counter cold meds can render one unable to operate a motor vehicle. She needs to serve time. Reply
