13. Kid Rock
Kid Rock really lives the way you would expect him to after listening to his songs. Even though he hails from urban Detroit, he has taken on a character that paints him as an angry southern redneck that likes alcohol and bar fights.
It’s funny that his two biggest assault incidents occurred exactly where you would expect them to occur. One was in a strip bar, and the other was in – get ready for it – a waffle house! The first incident was when Rock was sued by a DJ at a strip club, after the DJ claimed that the rock star punched him. This happened down in Tennessee, naturally.
He pleaded no contest and ended up service a sentence of almost a year in prison. After that, he had to go to eight hours of anger management classes and pay for the glasses that he broke when he punched the DJ. But this incident was not the last one for him.
The waffle house fight was a scuffle that included his entire entourage. Kid Rock got into a verbal argument with another customer. While Kid Rock claimed that he and his friends did not start the fight, the man claims that the group attacked him unprovoked.
Apparently, the man was saying something about some of Kid Rock’s girlfriends that really did not rub him the right way.
This probably is not the last time we’ll see Kid Rock appearing in the papers for such behavior. He doesn’t really have much of a career anymore, and he might just get into some more fights to keep his name in the media. Who knows what will happen. Certainly, his public image is linked to this type of behavior, so it’s hard to imagine that he will abandon it any time soon.
