What you behind closed doors is between you, any involved parties, and The Man Upstairs. But if you parade the holier than thou acts and get caught doing dirt, expect to hear about it in grand fashion.
Breaking The Ten Commandments comes as naturally to us heathens as casting shade on hypocrites, and these 12 famous Bible thumpers who allegedly backslid caught us casting stones and some serious side eye. Lord have mercy.

Ma$e
Former pastor Mason Betha went from a hedonistic rapper to having his own church. It was all good until he seemingly ditched the cloth to launch a comeback with 50 Cent. Somewhere in there, he also lied about his Instagram followers and narrowly escaped the fade from Charlemagne Tha God’s bodyguard.
Josh Duggar
Thou shalt not giveth young girls the bad touch, lie about it, use celebrity privilege to cover up said touching and pretendeth that nothing happened. That’s a real commandment, right?

Dwight Howard
Upon entering the NBA in 2004, Howard was known for quoting the Bible non-stop. He’s currently rehabbing his image after fathering four kids with several different women. Maybe he was doing his best impersonation of Solomon?

Bill O’Reilly
Not only does Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly spew that right wing, conservative nonsense, but he thumps the good book in grand fashion by authoring books like Killing Jesus: A History. Meanwhile, he pays for his sexual harassment lawsuits to magically disappear.
Eddie Long
The divorce that was spawned by Long’s 2011 settlement with four men who accused him of sexual misconduct in the church takes care of two rather large no-no’s according to The Man Upstairs.
Lolo Jones
Noted Bible thumper and Olympic bobsledder/hurdler Lolo Jones is known for wanting to save her virginity until after marriage. She’s also known for a fair amount of thirst-trapping, which is probably one of the seven deadly sins.
Perri “Pebbles” Reid
These days, the woman formerly known as Mrs. L.A. Reid is a minister. She takes exception at allegedly milking TLC for the overwhelming majority of their fortune. At worst, that would either make her foul for getting over on them, and at best, it’s no worse than every other record industry executive.
Kevin Terry
It sure looked like Gospel singer Kevin Terry made an appearance in a 2013 sex tape that featured him reenacting some activities performed in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Chris Tucker
Former Friday actor Chris Tucker took a religious turn after his epic role as Smokey. But a curious arrest for speeding on his way to church and being linked to billionaire alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were two decidedly bad looks.

Josh Hamilton
An epic comeback from alcohol and drug abuse helped Hamilton seriously cash in and win the hearts of pious sports fans in pretty much every flyover state back in 2008. Depending on your perspective, his subsequent relapses in 2009 and 2015 proved that the flesh is indeed weak or made him look like a hypocrite.
