Boy George Charged with Allegedly Chaining Model

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."

16. Boy George is not a photog he is a SINGER! If you are stupid enough to think that this crazy has-been, bald guy wants you to do a model shoot at his HOUSE. Then bring on the chains. you stupid F***.

Do your homework you idiot. He also owns his own clothing line called "B-Rude". He auditions male models all the time because most of his models are male. Even if the guy agreed to be chained to the wall, once he asked to be let down and wasn't, then it becomes a crime.

19. It was a male escort, not a photo model. TMZ just tried to clean it up for you all.
George has been doing nasty stuff for years. Good luck with it all.

20. Alright, we know who this really is, don't we? Look at the shape of the cranium and the glazed look in the eyes.

Are you seeing this, do you now know who this is?

We are all intelligent people here.

22. He still looks positively lovely, even without the makeup. I hope when he goes to court he breaks back out the Paki From Outerspace look

Whatever, retard. Why would you assume that I am a model. Because I know something about him that you don't. I assume then, that everyone who knows this is a model also. You should probably quit posting until you have all the facts because you are only making yourself look like an idiot. Your post only strengthens that fact. Oh, and you get a life.

Why would you assume that you hit a nerve. Because I called you out on your comment. I just think one should have all the facts before they call people a stupid f***, you stupid f***.

28. It is known in the NY club scene that Boy hires young escorts to photograph and spank.

29. I don't believe for one min. that this was for a photo shoot. And if it was I've seen photo's that involved handcuffs. This man is male escort trying to get money off the media for his story. I would hope the legal system could see this as well.

30. Check out the single, "Cold Shoulder" on youtube. It was Culture Club's last hit and I just recently discovered it. I think it's their best.
