TV Touched By The Law: Celebrity Rehab, Episode 3
If this is your first visit to Popsquire, then you should know two things: (1) Popsquire loves reality tv; and (2) Popsquire is particularly glued to VH1’s Celebrity Rehab because it presents a constant collision between pop culture and law.
Episode 3 is no exception. In this episode, the newest cast member — former Ultimate Fighting Champion, Ricco Rodriguez — makes a huge confession…
While driving (1) with a suspended license, (2) high, and (3) with his girlfriend in the car, Ricco slammed into the back of an 18-wheeler truck and then hit a wall. Believing that his girlfriend was dead, he dragged her body to the driver’s seat so that the cops would think she was driving.
Ricco says that even though the cops could tell he was driving due to the position of the seat, the girlfriend — after surviving the incident — told cops that she was driving. According to Ricco, their “attorneys took care of it.”
Popsquire is actually speechless. The only thing he can do is hum along to Beck’s hit, “Loser.”
