Pee-wee Herman, the beloved star of the hit show, had more than just his own legal troubles to contend with.
In an astonishing revelation, RadarOnline.com has discovered that Paul Reubens tried to conceal his family’s dark history while his own arrests were making headlines.
Renowned for his iconic character, Pee-wee Herman, Reubens faced his own legal battles when he was arrested for child p0rn0 in 2002 and indecent exposure in 1991.
In 2016, RadarOnline.com stumbled upon documents that exposed a bitter family feud involving Reubens’ brother, Luke, sister, Abby, and even their parents.
The feud was marred by violent domestic disputes, assaults, and chilling death threats.
During the same year as Reubens’ indecent exposure arrest, his mother filed a battery complaint against Luke, alleging that he had left bruises on her arm after forcefully grabbing her.
A decade later, in 2001, Abby, a prominent civil rights attorney, contacted the police when Luke damaged her car mirror.
Just a month later, Luke called the police, claiming that Abby had pushed him during a heated argument.
Luke’s legal troubles extended beyond these incidents, as he was also apprehended in 2000 for grand theft in relation to a computer and marijuana possession.
Despite the upheaval within the family, it was Reubens’ own arrests that garnered the most attention.
Eleven years after being arrested for indecent exposure at an adult movie theater in Florida, authorities discovered materials in Reubens’ home that appeared to depict minors engaged in s**ually explicit acts.
In 2002, Reubens faced charges of possessing images initially labeled as child pornography.
However, the charges were eventually dropped after he pleaded guilty to a lesser obscenity charge.
The revelations surrounding Reubens’ family history shed light on a complex and troubling past that was kept hidden from the public eye.
It is a stark reminder that behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, there can be dark secrets lurking in the shadows.
