Reality TV Woes

Days after the Bachelorette let Greg down easily after seeing his apartment and not feeling a connection with him, the poor guys got arrested. No official word yet on what drugs he was reportedly trying to "smuggle" in, but according to Greg it was two codeine tablets to help him sleep on the plane. The 28-year old bachelor was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was released a few hours later with a "desk appearance ticket." The ticket means Todtman must appear at Queens Criminal Court to answer the charges, according to Port Authority Police, Tony Ciavolella.

Todtman’s arrest comes on the heels of another reality TV celebrity’s sordid past outing. Sarah Kozer, 29, one of the finalists on Joe Millionaire was recently "outed" by the press for her sordid past. Apparently, as a law school student trying to pay her bills Kozer appeared in a number of foot fetish and bondage films. Kozer told New York’s Daily News that she "would never do anything that I wouldn’t call my mother about." Kozer released a number of naughty films under the stage name Cindy Schubert. Her bondage films include Novices in Knots, Hogtied, and Bound and Dominated. She also released a number of foot fetish films like Dirty Soled Dolls and Sublime Stockings. Kozer maintained that she is not embarrassed by her past and she stands by what she has done."

Joe Millionaire himself was exposed as an underwear model. The winner of Survivor: Thailand, Ryan Heidik, had a sordid past in soft-core porn. Does it really matter? Does someone’s past make the present? Look at Traci Lords, she was a porn actress for years and eventually crossed over to become a legitimate actress. Once you are in the spotlight, it seems that you are a constant target for media coverage, both good and bad. The entertainment media loves nothing more than a celebrity with some skeletons in the closet. I guess it’s a good thing that we’re all not celebrities!!
