Stay tuned for more details on this and other intriguing stories!

Jackie Chan is a global superstar known for his martial arts skills and blockbuster hits. But his son, Jaycee Chan, took a wrong turn in 2014. After being arrested during a drug bust in Beijing, Jaycee faced serious consequences—over three ounces of marijuana were found in his apartment. His dad has been a staunch anti-drug advocate since 2009, so you can imagine the disappointment.

The incident was incredibly humiliating for her, yet she managed to turn it into a career launchpad, eventually landing her own reality show, The Simple Life, alongside her friend Nicole Richie.

Malcolm X – Qubilah Shabazz

Qubilah Shabazz, one of the six daughters of civil rights leader Malcolm X, was never known for exemplary behavior from a young age, likely due to the severe trauma she experienced—at just 4 years old, she witnessed her father's assassination. She shocked many when she was charged in 1995 with plotting to kill Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (she thought he killed her father). 

@bowienewsonline.com

Tommy Hilfiger – Richard Hilfiger

Richard Hilfiger, the son of fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger, has always sought to step out of his father’s shadow and carve his own path, albeit in a rather controversial way. Known by his rap name, Ricky Hil, Richard had a lifestyle often associated with drugs, tattoos, and defiance. 

@Getty Images North America

In 2010, he was arrested for marijuana possession with the intent to sell, as The Los Angeles Times reported, which was a far cry from the polished world of high fashion his father represents. Despite his legal troubles, Richard continues to pursue his music career, although his relationship with Tommy Hilfiger has been strained at times due to these controversies.

Al Gore – Al Gore III

Al Gore III, son of former Vice President Al Gore, has faced many troubles despite his father’s political legacy. In 2007, he was arrested after being pulled over for speeding. Police found marijuana in his possession, adding to his list of previous run-ins with the law.

He has been arrested multiple times for having illegal substances in his possession. 

@Prince Williams/WireImage, Gwinnett County Sheriffâs Office

The actress fought this battle for a long time but now, she says she feels she can no longer help her son. Over the years, Leakes has become less responsive to Bryson's issues, admitting, “He's 33 years old, he's an adult. He has three children—three beautiful children—that I adore. He has a wife. As a mother, I would never wash my hands of my child, right? But I feel like I've become numb to it because it's been going on for so many years.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie – Rocco

Madonna's journey with her son Rocco, their child with Guy Ritchie, has been far from easy. In 2016, Rocco simply ran away from home, as reported by the Daily Mail. However, he didn't go just anywhere; he moved in with his father, who was already divorced from Madonna at the time. 

@Getty Images/eonline.com

Tracy Marrow, Jr., son of rapper and actor Ice-T, made headlines in 2011 for a more embarrassing crime. According to TMZ, Tracy, born in 1992, was arrested for public urination.

Though not as severe as other offenses, this incident still caused a buzz in the media! Perhaps it was a protest against the paparazzi and the increased public attention that children of celebrities often suffer from.

Princess Grace of Monaco – Princess Stéphanie

Princess Stéphanie, the daughter of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III, had all chances to become Monaco's next big style icon, following in her glamorous mom's footsteps. But she had another plans for her life! By the time she hit 18, Stéphanie adored wild parties, often spotted with boyfriends who definitely didn’t fit the royal mold. 

@Bernard CHARLON/Getty Images

Charles and Diana – Prince Harry

Prince Harry has always been the royal wild child, grabbing headlines for everything from his party antics as a teenager to his unexpected decision to step away from royal duties. Who can forget that infamous trip to Las Vegas where paparazzi caught him playing strip billiards? Classic Harry! 

@MEGA

Fast forward to 2020, and his decision to "Megxit" with his wife, Meghan Markle, sent shockwaves through the British monarchy. While his older brother, Prince William, played by the royal rules, Harry’s been busy carving out his own path—and it’s been anything but ordinary!

@Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic

@getty/hellomagazine.com

She described it as a way to cope with emotional pain. It's terrifying to even imagine what Willow must have felt during that time, as well as how her parents were coping with the situation.

Kurt Cobain – Frances Bean Cobain

Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, has mentioned in interviews that her father's fame has not only benefited her. According to TMZ, since inheriting his fortune, she has struggled with feelings of worthlessness.

Collin, however, disputes these accusations. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he expressed resentment, explaining that being institutionalized led to his dismissal from the Marine Corps before he could complete boot camp.

Marie Osmond and Brian Blosil - Michael Blosil

Marie Osmond’s son, Michael Blosil, faced immense personal struggles, leading to a tragic end in 2010. At 18, while studying fashion design in Los Angeles, Michael died by suicide. He had previously undergone rehabilitation for drug addiction and depression, seeking a path to recovery.
