Hugh Grant arrested with sex worker in 1995.


I always wondered why a successful actor would cruise Hollywood looking for street prostitutes.

Hugh Grant arrested with sex worker over 20 years ago

In 1995, the British actor was arrested in Los Angeles with a sex worker, Divine Brown, for their ‘lewd conduct’ in a public place.

It didn't shock me that he was doing that. It shocked me that he was doing that while in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley.

Still, it wasn't as embarrassing as Eddie Murphy picking up a prostitute in Beverly Hills, gets them in his car and then discovers it's a man.

Sure, Murphy's scandal was much worse. And Murphy also gave the lame excuse that he was just helping his transgender hooker out with a ride. Murphy's hooker ended up dying mysteriously a year later.

Shalimar Seiuli has a page. The poor girl deserves a mention:

You would probably understand if you were in a relationship with someone like Hurley. They whip your libido into a frenzy to the point of madness, so without her around, he probably needed to unleash on anything to save his sanity.

It didn't seem to affect his career at all.

I think it's because everyone was delighted to find out he's straight.

I never got any gay vibes from Hugh Grant though.

Prostitute. Whore. "Sex worker" sounds like some kind of bureaucrat.

It's just Marxist dialectics, to strip the word on any pseudo-ethical bias.
