Bombshell lawsuits, cheating scandals and even one murder make up this list of country music news stories that have truly rocked the genre over the years.
Some have taken place recently. In fact, there’s one big sexual assault lawsuit on this list that is still very much unfolding and will likely reveal more shocking twists and turns.
Then there are others that continue to shock country fans, even though they happened years — or in some cases, decades — ago.
Not every country star who’s made headlines for the wrong reasons wound up on this list. Plenty of singers have been arrested, for example, but there’s only one country legend (as far as we know) who was naked when the cops apprehended him.
Likewise, it’s common enough for an artist to go through a divorce — but the one who ended up on this list swapped husbands with a friend!
Read through the gallery below to revisit the most shocking tales and unbelievable scandals the country music genre has ever produced.
