Boy George Charged with Allegedly Chaining Model

Posted Nov 13th 2007 7:51AM by TMZ Staff

Boy George, 46, was formally charged in London after a 28-year-old man accused the Culture Club's cross-dressing crazy of false imprisonment and common assault.

Multiple reports from the UK claim that George (real name George O'Dowd) was ordered to appear in court on the charges on Nov. 22. The reports also claim that the incident in question took place back in April, when a Norwegian man reportedly accused George of chaining and threatening him at his home, where he went as a "photo model."

Earlier this year, Boy's brother Kevin told NME that Boy "was not annoyed" by the arrest and thought the allegations were "hilarious."

1. JUDGE YOURSELF AS GUILTY IDIOT, LIFE WITH STRONG UPS AND DOWNS ALWAYS GOES WITH THE GREAT ARTISTS, (ANY KIND OF ARTIST).
IF WE DISCARD THE CREATION BECAUSE WE DONT LIKE THE LIFE OF THE ARTIST, THEN WE HAD TO PUT INTO TRASH-CAN THE 90% OF ART.

5. Join the Michael Jackson club of fallen 80's singers dropping like rocks. Not only are their career gone, but their lack of common decency with it. Boy George should go to jail just because he looks like a freak!

9. I always have and always will LOVE Boy George! Too bad people cant see past the lip stick to realize how talented he is. This doesnt mean I am saying he is innocent because I dont have a clue what really happened. Thats for the courts to decide (I hate it when people defend their celebrity idol simply because they are a fan). But regardless, his music and style are awesome.

Good luck, Boy!
