Yet another reality star with a DUI


That’s right, there’s another DUI in Hollywood. We’re up to, oh, how many now?

Reality star Shayne Lamas, daughter of Lorezo Lamas, was arrested for being suspected of driving under the influence. At around 1 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14, Lamas drove home after having a drink and believing she was below the legal limit. The former Bachelor contestant and winner came forward herself and released this statement to the press:

Early Saturday morning, after consuming one drink, I willingly drove through a mandatory check point on my way home with complete confidence of passing. However, the breathalyzer indicated that I was over the legal limit of blood alcohol content and was arrested onsite.

I take full responsibility for my lack of judgment. I have always strived to be a role model for my friends, family, and fans and have never nor will ever condone drinking and driving. I apologize for all those I have disappointed, including myself.


Lamas was released from jail later in the morning and will appear in court on December 9 for the misdemeanour charge. She claimed that before the incident, she did not take drinking and driving seriously. Seriously?? Who in their right mind would not take drinking and driving seriously? I guess she just became MADD’s new poster girl on what NOT to do.
