Lindsay Lohan - Lohan had appeared to age in Hollywood gracefully, and successfully, going from child star to bona fide A-lister. That all changed in May 2007 when Lohan was arrested for a DUI. Just three months later, the actress was arrested for possession of cocaine, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. In May 2015, a judge ended Lohan's probation after she completed the community service that resulted from a 2012 reckless driving charge, making it the first time in nearly eight years that she was probation free. (Photos from left: SGranitz/WireImage, Danny Martindale/WireImage)

Edward Furlong - The child star appeared in blockbuster films such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day and American History X, but his career began spiraling downward during his struggles with heroin and cocaine. In 2010, Furlong was placed on three year's probation for a violation of a civil protective order. He was most recently arrested in 2013 on drug charges, but avoided jail time after agreeing to go to rehab.  (Photos from left: Ron Galella/WireImage,  Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Orlando Brown - Best known for his role as Raven Baxter's best friend in the former Disney Channel favorite That's So Raven, Orlando Brown seemed to be a wholesome guy. However, after the show ended, he had several run-ins with the law, with the first being an arrest for drug possession in 2007. Four years later, he was arrested again for DUI while driving with his pregnant girlfriend in Hollywood. In 2012, he was arrested twice more, once for failing to complete one of the conditions of his probation and another for failing to show up in court. Most recently, he was arrested in 2016 for alleged battery and has made news for his bizarre, seemingly drug-fueled social media rants.(Photos from left: CBS/Landovm, Guillermo Proano/WENN.com)

Marcus Paulk - Moesha's little brother is all grown up, but apparently not for the better. The 30 year old, who is known best for his role as little Myles on the '90s sitcom Moesha, pleaded guilty in Arizona for driving under the influence in February 2015. He confessed to drinking and smoking marijuana after failing a sobriety test.(Photos from left: UPN /Landov, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office via Getty Images)

Maia Campbell - After starring alongside LL Cool J in the long-running sitcom In the House, Maia Campbell's life seemed to spiral out of control. The actress, 40, was first arrested in January 2015 for causing a scene at a Burger King, cursing out an officer and accusing a child of stealing her wallet. She was arrested again in February at a restaurant for drunk and disorderly behavior. (Photos from left: Chris Haston/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank,Jean-Paul Aussenard/WireImage)

Jaimee Foxworth - She played an adorable little girl on Family Matters, but after leaving the family sitcom, Foxworth began abusing drugs and alcohol in the early 2000s, supporting her habit by starring in pornography at the early age of 19. She then joined the cast of VH1's Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew to get help for her problems. It's not all bad, though. She revealed to Oprah in 2014 that having her son motivated her to sober up.(Photos from left: Jesse Grant/WireImage, Ron Galella, Ltd./WireImage)

Justin Bieber - Music's latest bad boy quickly shed his squeaky clean image by accumulating his fair share of public shortcomings. Some of his most outlandish acts include abandoning a monkey in Germany, attacking the paparazzi and publicly urinating in a restaurant mop bucket. His most consequential action came in 2014, when he was arrested on suspicion of DUI and drag racing. He was also charged that same year with misdemeanor vandalism after egging his neighbor's house. His more recent incident came after a collision including a minivan and Bieber's all-terrain vehicle.(Photos from left: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Island Def Jam, JDH Imagez / Splash News)

Amanda Bynes - In what is arguably the most publicly followed downward spiral in recent times — second to Lindsay Lohan, of course — Amanda Bynes literally lost it in a matter of months. The former Nickelodeon star spent six months in rehab in 2013 following a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold. In 2014, she was arrested for her second DUI and was placed on another psychiatric hold after she accused her father of sexually molesting her on Twitter. She has since taken a turn for the better, enrolling at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.(Photos from left: Chris Weeks/GettyImages,WENN.com)

Shia LaBeouf - The Disney's Even Stevens star quickly became Hollywood's token rebel after wearing a paper bag with the words "I am not famous anymore" written on the front over his head at a movie premiere in 2014. Later that year, LaBeouf, who received his big break in Transformers, was arrested and charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing after obstructing a Broadway performance of Cabaret. He was most recently arrested on January 28 after getting in an altercation with a Trump supporter at his installation at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City.(Photos from left: Frederick M.

Macaulay Culkin - Everybody loves the Home Alone movie franchise, so it's unfortunate to see the star, Macaulay Culkin, struggle this much with age. The young actor was arrested in 2004 for marijuana possession. He later pleaded guilty to charges of having medication without a prescription. Since then, he has been seen looking sickly in the media but has kept a low profile nonetheless.(Photos from left: Barry King/WireImage, Maxppp /Landov)

The Cast of Diff'rent Strokes - It's very rare that nearly the entire cast of a popular sitcom hits rock bottom. Such is the case for Diff'rent Strokes. The series lead, Gary Coleman, was charged with assault after he punched a woman while working security at a shopping mall in 1998. Nine years later, he was cited for disorderly conduct in Utah for having a "heated discussion" with another woman. Dana Plato, another star of the sitcom, became addicted to drugs and alcohol in 1990 and ended up relinquishing custody of her son. She later posed for Playboy in a futile attempt at boosting her career. Lastly, Todd Bridges, like Plato, grew addicted to cocaine and was arrested and charged with the attempted murder of a drug dealer in Los Angeles. Coleman and Plato died in 2010 and 1999, respectively.(Photo: Herb Ball/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank)
