Former Child Stars Who Went Off The Deep End

by Jake Arnold

Published January 25, 2018

13. Edward Furlong

Nickiswift

Edward Furlong got his big break as the young John Connor in Terminator 2 (1991), but within a decade, he was already in big trouble. He was hospitalized for a suspected drug overdose in April 2001, and five months later got busted for driving without a license and driving under the influence in two separate stops within four hours. That led to the first in a series of rehab stints. In 2004, Furlong was arrested and booked for misdemeanor public intoxication in Kentucky after taking lobsters out of a store display case, perhaps in order to “liberate” them.

Furlong married The Ring (2002) actress Rachael Bella and welcomed a son in 2006, but their marriage crumbled just three years later when Bella filed for divorce. A series of disturbing court appearances and multiple restraining orders followed. In January 2011, Furlong was even put behind bars for violating Bella’s restraining order. In 2012, he was accused of exposing his then-6-year-old son to cocaine. The couple’s divorce was reportedly not finalized until 2014, but by 2013, he’d already faced legal trouble with another woman. Furlong was sentenced to five years of probation, 90 days of rehab, and a year of domestic violence counseling after he allegedly attacked an ex-girlfriend and broke her laptop.

In October 2016, Furlong was spotted looking “bloated and unkempt” with actress Monica Keena, with whom he’d had a volatile relationship involving multiple domestic abuse charges for years, reported the Daily Mail.

14. Harvey Spencer Stephens

Harvey Spencer Stephens, who starred as Damien in the original version of The Omen (1976), took longer than his onscreen counterpart to show his dark side. It wasn’t until August 2016 that he went bad during a reported road rage incident. Stephens allegedly cut off two bicyclists, then violently attacked them, knocking one of them unconscious. He was charged with two counts of actual bodily harm and one charge of criminal damage. On Friday, Jan. 13, 2017 (spooky!) he was sentenced to a year in jail for the bodily harm charge, plus two months for the criminal damage charge.
