LONDON, England (Reuters) — British singer Boy George was arrested and released on bail after a 28-year-old man accused the former Culture Club frontman of “false imprisonment and common assault.”
Now I don’t know what “common assault” is. Maybe it’s when you don’t channel the creative when beating on someone. But “false imprisonment” sounds a whole lot like that movie Misery or the guy with the lotion and the hose. In other words, not so good.
Boy’s not worried though. See?
His brother Kevin was quoted by the NME music magazine as saying that George was not annoyed and found the allegations “hilarious”.
I do find it a little funny that Boy George’s bro is named Kevin. Can you imagine the party introductions?
“Ah yeah, I’ve got couple people I’d like you to meet. This is Boy George, you might remember him from the Karma Chameleon thing. And this is his brother Kevin. Kevin and Boy, meet Melinda.”
But I for one don’t find these allegations “hilarious” in the slightest. If you imprison someone, and it’s false style, you’re asking for trouble boy (Boy).
