The entertainment industry has always been shrouded in secrecy and controversy, but few topics are as taboo as the sale of drugs by celebrities. From the 1970s to the present day, many famous actors, musicians, and athletes have been implicated in the sale of drugs. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most notorious celebrities who have sold drugs, and examine the consequences of their actions.
Danny Trejo
The Los Angeles native did a good bit of prison time in his younger days. He was introduced to show business by a close friend at a sobriety meeting after he was released. The star admitted to using heroin at the age of 12 and has a clause in his contracts that if he plays a villain, they must either die or go to jail in the ending to show kids that “crime doesn’t pay.”
Kid Rock
Kid Rock is best known for his music and his very dramatic feud with Pamela Anderson. But before getting the ball rolling with music, he sold drugs — mostly crack — in his home state of Michigan and later battled addiction to cocaine. It is unclear when he stopped selling but many celebrities have joking mentioned the times he did or was on cocaine at parties.
