77. Geeeeeeeeeee guess a lot of the average people have never been drunk and driving or any other silly questionable situation. Only reason people in the lime light are in the headlines is they are famous - they are not the only ones caught driving drunk - Now I don't condone driving drunk and the DUI is what they deserve and any other punishment they are dished out by the courts of law, but don't toss stones if you have never done anything silly such as driving under the influence of booze or any other silly thing - we are all human and do make mistakes. If you are perfect then you are god, if not , then just try and not be caught in similar situations. Be thankful that you are not in the public's eye.

My opinion after 61 years trying to stay out of trouble as well..............just an honest guy here.

(Oh yeah, I do make mistakes now and then.....)

79. Hey Ty? Why didn't you just ask the bus driver to MOVE THAT BUS to transport your stupid ass home!?????? I'm sorely disappointed in you!

80. Nearly every adult who drinks and who has gone out to clubs or bars more than a couple dozen times has drank and drove.
Hell, I am a 36 year old prude, and I have driven while drunk. Most people do not realize that drinking 2 mixxed drinks in less than 2 hours will get you over the legal limit to drive.
I do not condone drinking and driving, and it is horribly dangerous, but most adults have done it.
It is the ones who have done it that want to hold Eve, Paris, Ty, etc. to higher standards than they hold themselves...

81. I think everyone in Hollywood is trying to "outdo" one another with this drunk driving thing. It sounds bizarre, but that's how Hollywood is. They think "if Paris Hilton can get arrested with a DUI, so can I, dammit!".

They love the publicity.

I always Ty was on coke, myself.

84. I love Ty, he is so sweet, compassionate and so cute, I wish him the best. The show would not be good without him, I know I wouldn't watch it without him on it.

86. Who cares who is arrested for DUI. Everyone should get the same punishment no matter what your age, race, occupation is. There should be no special community service for those who have money to afford a high priced attorney. They all should lose their license forever and a public flogging like they do in Thailand. Remember a few years ago when they wanted to flog the teenager for graffity. Well if we had harsher punishment it would definately be a deterrant. If you are on Death Row then kill them in a week. Why waste OUR tax payer money.

87. Ty...I'm one of your biggest fans but am really disappointed that this has happened. Hope you'll learn a very valuable lesson from this and do something to make up for it. I'm sorry for what your going through but you made a huge mistake driving while drunk.

88. I think its funny how all you people come on here and comment on how stupid everyone in Hollywood is for drinking and driving and getting a DUI. Like none of you have ever gotten a DUI or drove while you were intoxicated. I haven't gotten a DUI yet, but there were many many times that I should have. I got lucky. Now that I have kids, I can't take the chance of getting a DUI so I now choose to drink at home. Plus it is alot cheaper. My point is, who the hell are all of you to judge them? Just cause they make millions of dollars, have their faces on TV and in the movies, come from rich mommies and daddies, and have all the money to just throw around. I am sure many of you have a DUI or two under your belts. So I guess that makes them no different then you. If they are stupid then you are too.

89. All of you crybaby whiners out there groaning over Ty getting busted---- shut up.
You act as if all of you are perfect. Well- guess what?? get a grip...
Ty will get his just punishment- but it is going to be the punishment deemed fair by the judge.
None of you have any right to judge anyone else.
DUI is serious business and I am sure that Ty is feeling pretty bad right now.
But- he is also a good person.... he has done alot of good for many families.
It is not funny- it is sad.... drugs and alcohol are terrible vices to have..
Instead of crapping all over this man- why don't you try some empathy and support??
ng a t v star isn't so great as alot of pus people think, huh??

90. Ok! So you act like you have never done this before. The spot light is one the celebs not the average everday common people like us. Just take a poll of people who got DUI's that were not celebs and I bet they far out weigh the Celeb DUI's. Wake up Amercia with the Reality shows we are the one's that make them Celebs. Just remember they are average everday people like you and me. They just have a whole lot of money and we do not. As far as Tye Pennigton I bet you could not make the people who's lives he has changed from the TV show look down on him. We are all human and WILL MAKE MISTAKES!
