Celebrity bad girls: 11 of the most famously naughty moments in recent history

Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista’s infamous claim to Vogue in 2001 has become a legendary bad girl moment in the fashion world. What began as “we don’t wake up for less than $10,000” has morphed into many paraphrased versions of the quote, but all communicate the same message: never waste a Super’s time.

Back in 2008, Lily Allen and Sir Elton John co-hosted the British GQ awards. After Allen indulged in one too many cocktails backstage and appeared intoxicated on live television, at which point John threw shade, asking “What, are you going to have another drink?” “F*ck off Elton” Allen immediately shot back, “I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me!” Luckily, the crowd laughed.

’90s cult queen Winona Ryder surprised us all when she was busted for stealing almost $5,000 worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills. Though it may never be clear why a successful Hollywood actress would need to steal in the first place, we will forever be on team #freewinona.

Bai Ling was also made famous for employing the five finger discount. But despite making our bad girl list, Ling didn’t exactly have the guts to bring home anything big like Winona. She only picked up two copies of Star Magazine and a pack of batteries from shops inside LAX in 2008.

In what was certainly one of the most famous haircuts of all time, Britney Spears shaved her head back in 2007 after checking out of rehab. We’d never seen a pop princess destruct so publicly, but we’re thrilled she’s back on top, owning the charts with Iggy Azeala. That being said, we will never forget this moment in time.

Almost 15 years ago, Mariah Carey made a surprise appearance on the (then) popular MTV show, Total Request Live. Busting in, singing and pushing an ice cream cart- you could say she was making a statement. After pulling off her shirt and throwing ice cream to the crowd, Carey made her exit, leaving everyone with tasty treats and a healthy dose of complete confusion.

After TLC’s Lisa Left Eye Lopes discovered her boyfriend, Atlanta Falcons star Andrea Rison, was cheating on her she decided to get even and torched his favourite sneakers and his 1.3 million dollar mansion. Moral of the story: never step out on a bad girl.

Back in 2006, Naomi Campbell reportedly accused her housekeeper of stealing a pair of jeans and after she refused to admit to the crime, Campbell threw her cell phone at the housekeepers head, causing the need for four stitches.

Martha Stewart was convicted of insider trading and sentenced to five months in prison, proving bad girls come in all shapes and sizes, including ones who wear turtlenecks and bake like a badass.

After Reese Witherspoon’s husband Jim Toth was pulled over for drunk driving, America’s sweetheart famously went OTT, asking “Do you know my name?” The pair were both arrested and later released on bail.

Tara Reid might be credited for starring in ’90s teen classics like American Pie, but unfortunately most people know her for her infamous nip slip at Diddy’s 35th birthday bash in 2006. The slip went unnoticed for a full 10 seconds- until her publicist rushed to the scene to recover her fully exposed breast.
