10 famous people caught in awkward pictures and situations with their family members.
There are families who are close, and then there are families who are too close for comfort. Some celebrity clans have shown that they have little to no boundaries when it comes to their relationships with one another. Some of them are father-daughter duos who act like they could be dating, some are brothers and sisters who share inappropriate jokes and kisses, and others are mothers who encourage their daughter’s bad habits to the point where they end up in rehab. It doesn’t take much for the media to jump on anything inappropriate, and these 10 examples give another meaning to keeping it in the family.
How do celebrities who have engaged in inappropriate family relationships attempt to justify their actions to the public?
In recent years, there has been a growing trend in the entertainment industry of celebrities engaging in questionable romantic relationships with members of their own families. These celebrity family relationships, while sometimes controversial, have garnered widespread attention and sparked intense scrutiny from the media and public alike. Here are the top 10 most inappropriate celebrity family relationships to date:
1. Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn: Perhaps the most infamous celebrity family relationship of all time, Woody Allen and his then-girlfriend, Soon-Yi Previn, began dating while Allen was still in a relationship with Previn’s mother, Mia Farrow. The two have been married since 1997 and have two adopted children together.
2. Mackenzie Phillips and John Phillips: Mackenzie Phillips, daughter of The Mamas & The Papas frontman John Phillips, shocked the world in 2009 when she revealed that she had engaged in a consensual incestuous relationship with her father for ten years.
3. Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate: Before her tragic murder in 1969, actress Sharon Tate was married to director Roman Polanski. What many people don’t know, however, is that the couple were also first cousins.
4. Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson: Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson’s friendship was one of the most scrutinized celebrity relationships of all time. While the two were never romantically involved, their close bond was often viewed as inappropriate given their 26-year age difference and Jackson’s history of alleged child molestation.
5. Jerry Lee Lewis and Myra Gale Brown: In 1957, Jerry Lee Lewis made headlines for marrying his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown. Despite the widespread backlash, Lewis continued to defend the relationship, claiming that it was legal in his home state of Louisiana.
6. Gypsy Rose Lee and Erik Lee Preminger: Burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee shocked her fans when she revealed in her autobiography that she had been sexually involved with her son, Erik Lee Preminger. The two had a brief affair when Preminger was 18 years old.
7. Charles Manson and Mary Brunner: While Charles Manson is best known for his role in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, he also had a strange relationship with member of his “family,” Mary Brunner. The two had a child together while Manson was in prison.
8. Martin Sheen and Paula Prentiss: Before he was famous, Martin Sheen had a brief affair with his future sister-in-law, actress Paula Prentiss. The relationship eventually fizzled out, but not before causing a rift between Sheen and his brother, Joe Estevez.
9. Angelina Jolie and James Haven: Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven sparked rumors of incest when they shared a controversial kiss at the 2000 Academy Awards. While the two have always maintained that their relationship is strictly platonic, the incident continues to be viewed as one of Hollywood’s strangest moments.
10. Fredrik Eklund and Derek Kaplan: Million Dollar Listing star Fredrik Eklund raised eyebrows when he revealed that he was married to a man who was also his husband’s ex-boyfriend. While the relationship may seem unconventional, Eklund and Kaplan have been together for over a decade and have several children together.
In conclusion, while celebrity family relationships can often be seen as taboo and inappropriate, they continue to capture the public’s fascination and curiosity. These 10 cases of questionable celebrity relationships show that even the most beloved stars are not immune to making poor decisions when it comes to matters of the heart.
