00:00Hugh Grant's infamous prostitute is on the run?
00:03We've got all the dirty details, but first, let's rewind to the 90s.
00:07Let me start with question number one.
00:11What the hell were you thinking?
00:14I don't say that to be clear, but I think among most people going, what?
00:19Yeah, yeah.
00:21Well, it's not easy.
00:24I think you know in life pretty much what's a good thing to do and what's a bad thing.
00:29And I did a bad thing, and there you have it.
00:32That was Hugh Grant's notorious appearance on The Tonight Show after his embarrassing public arrest for picking up a prostitute.
00:39It was the summer of 95, and Grant was promoting his new movie, Nine Months, when he got busted by
00:44police in L.A.
00:45He was arrested for paying a prostitute $60 to perform oral sex on him in his car on the Sunset
00:51Strip.
00:52Here he was at the premiere weeks later with a less than thrilled-looking Elizabeth Hurley.
00:56Grant's mugshot instantly went international.
00:59The Love Actually star was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and attend an AIDS education program.
01:05But Divine Brown, the sex worker, got a harsher punishment.
01:09She was sentenced to six months in jail for participating in lewd conduct in public.
01:14And now she's making headlines yet again, this time for being a fugitive on the run.
01:19Brown is allegedly fleeing criminal damage charges related to her landlord's Chevrolet Impala, according to the Daily Mail.
01:26Prosecutors allege she caused more than $500 in damage to the landlord's vehicle.
01:31Brown was ordered to appear in person in court last month, but after not showing up, the judge issued a
01:36bench warrant for her arrest.
01:38When reached by journalists, Brown told them she had no idea there was a warrant out for her arrest, reportedly
01:43saying, quote,
01:44You kidding me? Oh, wow.
01:46The former prostitute made millions after getting famous for her arrest with Hugh Grant.
01:50She did interviews and public appearances at the height of the scandal's popularity.
01:54Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley ended up staying together until 2000, five years after the arrest.
02:00The actress stuck by his side through it all.
02:02But in a sit-down with Barbara Walters to give her side of things shortly after his arrest,
02:07the actress admitted that hearing what Grant did felt like she had been shot.
02:11They reunited just two years ago to support Hurley's son at his movie premiere.
02:15Grant is the Godfather.
02:16And now Liz is with Billy Ray Cyrus, but it may have been Hugh years ago who broke her heart,
02:22her achy-breaky heart.
