Most Awkward Question Ever To Gayheart

Not a great idea to tell someone who caused a fatal accident to drive safely. Well maybe it is a good idea, but not if you're a photog trying to engage a celebrity.


So imagine the moment when a pap told Rebecca Gayheart yesterday to "drive safely." Remember, back in 2001, Gayheart was driving when she struck and killed a nine year old boy. She was prosecuted for vehicular manslaughter and pleaded no contest. She was placed on three years probation and settled a wrongful-death lawsuit out of court.

Watch the video and squirm.

3. Are you kidding?? Isn't she the same person that killed a pedestrian, or maybe a cyclist, in the road in LA about 10 years ago?

4. Considering that she has already killed someone once with her car, she should be lucky she is actually even free to drive!!!!!!!

5. Christina, from my recollection she killed a kid. And to think she starred in that movie "The Christmas Blessing". The kid in that movie died and gave her one of his organs. That's seems shallow and unfair in a way to do a movie like that and take her seriously.

8. Yes, #3 - in 2001 she took a corner too fast, struck and killed a 9-year-old boy. She plead no-contest to vehicular manslaughter paid a fine and served 750 hours of community service in addition to the undisclosed amount she paid the child's family after they sued her for wrongful death.

10. Rebecca Gayheart is one ugly woman.

11. But #8, you left out one vital detail: That idiot was yakking on her cell (and probably also oogling herself in her rearview mirror) when she turned that corner and killed that child. They should plop her down in the middle of Rodeo and let Britney round the corner and see what happens.

12. Oh- she deserves an award for not killing another kid TMZ!

13. yeah, she's a crazy ho...she killed someone's child by being over anxious and drove around someone else to kill the poor kid and was talking on the phone at the same time...too bad she can't run over herself...there's hardly anything "steamy" about her except that she's a piece of crap!

14. SHE IS NOT ONE TO BE PREACHING TO ANYONE. ITS BETTER THAN SHE KEEPS HER MOUTH SHUT. SHE IS A REMINDER THAT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. SHE DESERVED TO DO TIME IN JAIL. I WISH SHE'D DROP OUT OF SIGHT. POOR PARENTS OF HER VICTIM.

15. On 13 June 2001, Gayheart struck 9-year-old Jorge Cruz Jr. as he jaywalked across the street. According to the police report, the boy was walking home from school, and crossed the street about 160 feet from the nearest crosswalk. While several cars stopped to let him go, Gayheart allegedly swerved around the traffic and into a two-way left-turn lane, striking the boy; he died the next day at Los Angeles Children's Hospital. His parents, Jorge Cruz and Silvia Martinez, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on 6 August 2001 against her. Gayheart paid for Cruz's hospital and funeral expenses.
