Hollywood's Most Messed Up Families

The Osbournes are first-rate crazy when it comes to out-of-control famous families. Fans got a glimpse into the madness in their eponymous reality show, which ran for four seasons ending in 2005. Ozzy, Sharon, Jack, and Kelly have always been an open book about their family troubles—be it drugs, infidelity or depression.

Kelly took that philosophy to heart when she penned her memoir There is No F**king Secret: Letters from a Badass B*tch. In it, she details a terrifying moment in 2002 when she essentially became the caretaker for her parents. Sharon was fighting stage-three colorectal cancer and Ozzy was back on drugs. "[One night] Mum had a seizure," Kelly wrote (via People). "I finally called for an ambulance, and together with the idiot nurse, we got Mum stabilized."

On the night of Sharon's seizure, Ozzy reportedly nearly overdosed. "I had reason to be scared," Kelly wrote. "Dad was there in his boxers, and I watched him scoop his hand into a bowl of pills, swallow a handful of something, and then wash it down with vodka, like it was water and he was dying of thirst."

Kelly wound up in an ambulance with both her parents. "I had to make phone calls, sign papers, talk to doctors, console family members, and, at nineteen, make adult decisions that would have been hard for someone three times my age," she wrote.

Actress Tori Spelling told Access Hollywood (via Us Weekly) that her father, famed TV producer Aaron Spelling, played a major role in the family's dysfunctional, particularly in her strained relationship with her mother, Candy Spelling. 

"I was very much a daddy's girl... And as an adult, I can go back and look at the relationship and see that he kind of always positioned [Candy] as, like, he was good cop, she was bad cop. And he kind of created a little bit of that dynamic. It wasn't just all her," Tori said in 2014. "I think he created a lot of the competition between us. He was the good guy, so everyone vied for his attention, and a lot of that attention went from her to all me."

Tori has held out hope that she can develop a bond with her mom. "I think the biggest thing in a mother-daughter relationship is accepting the relationship for what it is, not what you want it to be," she told Us Weekly. "And I haven't gotten there yet."

When the Duggar family debuted on reality TV in 2008, they were portrayed as a large Christian family with strong morals, but by 2015, that pristine image was beginning to crack. At that time, news broke that eldest son Josh Duggar allegedly molested five girls in 2002 when he was 14. Two of his victims were reportedly his sisters, Jess and Jill Duggar, according to Us Weekly. 

"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends," Josh said in a statement. "I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling." The family's hit show, 19 Kids and Counting was pulled from the airwaves as the family retreated from the spotlight. 

Months later, the Duggar family image was rocked again with news that Josh had used the popular infidelity website Ashley Madison to cheat on his wife. "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever," he said in another statement (via Us Weekly). "While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife." In spite of it all, Josh and his wife did not get divorced. In fact, they announced that they're expecting their fifth child in 2017. 

The Jackson family may have always been a little off, but things certainly went from bad to terrible after Michael Jackson's death in 2009. Following his passing, Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, was granted guardianship over her son's three kids. The arrangement seemed fine for a few years, but the family seemingly went off the rails in early 2012, when Katherine was reported missing.

According to CNN, granddaughter Paris Jackson jumped on Twitter to report her grandmother "missing." She tweeted, "I haven't spoken with her in a week I want her home now." Katherine's son, Jermaine Jackson, later came forward to state that Katherine was just resting in Arizona under doctor's orders. The bizarre incident occurred during a time when the Jackson siblings were fighting the executors of Michael's estate, accusing them of fraud and abuse.

Family drama erupted again later that year. Surveillance footage at the Jackson home reportedly revealed a violent spat among family members.

Five years later, in February 2017, the family was back in the headlines after Katherine filed a formal complaint accusing her nephew-in-law, Trent Jackson, of elder abuse, according to the New York Daily News. Katherine also accused Trent of accessing her bank accounts without permission. She was granted a temporary restraining order, which was dismissed weeks later.

Alec Baldwin isn't winning any father of the year awards anytime soon. He infamously yelled at his daughter, Ireland Baldwin, in a voicemail, calling her a "thoughtless little pig " in 2007. Ireland was just 11 years old at the time. As a result, his visitation rights were suspended, adding another bullet point to his nasty custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

A decade later, Baldwin says that voicemail still haunts him. "It's thrown in your face every day," he told Good Morning America in 2017. "There are people who admonish me or attack me and use that as a constant spearhead to do that... It's a scab that never heals 'cause it's being picked at all the time by other people. My daughter, that's hurt her in a permanent way." 

However, there are signs that this daddy-daughter relationship has improved. Ireland poked fun at the past in an Instagram post in 2015. Sitting next to her father reading a kid's book called If I Were a Pig, she captioned the snap "If I Were A Pig... I would be Rude and Thoughtless of course!"

The world witnessed the chaos of the Shannon family on the now defunct series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. The reality show, which ran from 2012 to 2014, ended after Mama June rekindled her romance with Mark McDaniel. He served time in prison for aggravated child molestation in 2004 and is a registered sex offender, according to CNN. June's daughter, Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, said McDaniel molested her when she was 8 years old. According to Entertainment Tonight, June brought McDaniel back into the fold for two reasons: she felt sorry for him, and she wanted to provide closure for daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon who, at one point, believed McDaniel might be her father.

That decision seems to have created more distance than closure. In June 2015, Anna filed a lawsuit claiming her mom owes her some $200,000 for filming the show. Anna also said she doesn't speak much to her mom or sisters. "None of them have called me, texted me or anything like that," she told E! News. "I can give two craps about them. They don't give two craps about me, so why give two craps about them?"
