Divine Brown, a former prostitute who gained notoriety for her involvement with British actor Hugh Grant in 1995, is now facing up to 30 years in jail.
Recent reports indicate that she has been charged with battery and cruelty to children.
Brown, whose real name is Estella Marie Thompson, rose to fame and fortune following the incident with Grant in Los Angeles.
She claimed that the $50 encounter in Grant's car on Sunset Boulevard made her a millionaire.
However, earlier this year, Brown found herself in legal trouble once again.
Fulton County arrest records reveal that she was charged with battery, cruelty to children, possession of drugs, and smuggling suspected cocaine into a jail.
If convicted, she could face a lengthy prison sentence.
According to a neighbor in her current residence in south Atlanta, Brown's life has taken a downward spiral since her days of overnight stardom.
Despite earning an estimated $1.6 million from her association with Grant, she now lives a far less glamorous existence.
Her neighbor describes her as someone with no car and wearing worn-out flip-flops, painting a picture of a woman who has fallen from grace.
Reports suggest that Brown has struggled with trouble throughout her adult life.
The neighbor states that there is often shouting coming from her home, particularly when she is intoxicated.
It appears that her past choices may finally be catching up to her.
On Valentine's Day, police were called to Brown's apartment, where she was arrested under her real name.
Reports at the time described her as appearing drunk with slurred speech.
Inside the apartment, officers discovered a 13-year-old alleged victim who claimed to have been physically assaulted.
The police report alleges that Brown had grabbed the teenager's arm, thrown her around the apartment, and slammed her onto a couch.
The victim informed the police that Brown was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as she had witnessed her popping pills before.
While the teenager was taken to the hospital, Brown was taken to Fulton County Jail, where authorities discovered suspected cocaine hidden inside her body.
The case is still ongoing, and if Brown is found guilty of unlawful possession of drugs, she could face up to 30 years in prison.
In Georgia, a first-degree cruelty to children conviction carries a potential sentence of 20 years.
Brown and Grant were both arrested in 1995 for engaging in a s**ual act in public.
The incident gained significant attention due to Grant's celebrity status.
Both individuals pleaded no contest to the charges and received fines.
Following the arrest, Brown capitalized on the publicity and amassed a fortune.
She claimed that the incident allowed her to provide a private education for her children and purchase a four-bedroom home in Beverly Hills, along with her then-partner.
However, it seems that Brown's past success has now been overshadowed by her current legal troubles.
With the possibility of a lengthy jail sentence, her once-glamorous lifestyle appears to be a distant memory.
