Flavor Flav

FLAVOR FLAV ‘S LOVE LIFE MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

Some people never change. Case in point: Flavor Flav, formerly of Public Enemy. We remember him best from the reality series The Surreal Life, where he developed some kind of romance with Brigitte Nielsen, who is 6 inches taller than he is. VH1 liked their odd relationship so much that Brigitte and Flav got their own reality show called Strange Love. What surprised us most about Flavor Flav is the fact that he actually used to date model Beverly Johnson back in 2000, and they actually LIVED together. And he didn’t look much different than he does above!

FLAVOR FLAV ISN’T AS HARMLESS AS HE LOOKS

We’ve always been rather creeped out by Flavor Flav – he used to be part of Public Enemy, one of the first hate-mongering woman-hating rap groups. He’s been arrested multiple times for robbery, assault, drugs, and domestic violence. Now he seems brain damaged by years of drug abuse. His frequent appearances on VH-1 reality shows over the past few years amazed us, but failed to enhance his reputation. He’s been living in Las Vegas and now he’s been accused of roughing up his fiancé and threatening her son with a butcher knife. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, he’s been ordered to stand trial for child abuse and assault with a deadly weapon – ironically his arraignment falls the same day he’ll be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
