Woman from a high-profile sex scandal with Hugh Grant was wanted

American Estella Marie Thompson, better known under the pseudonym Devine Brown, was wanted more than thirty years after the scandal with British actor Hugh Grant. The woman, who in 1995 was detained along with a Hollywood star for an intimate relationship in a car, did not appear at the hearing in a new criminal case. As a result, authorities issued a warrant for her arrest, although Brown herself claims that she did not know anything about the scheduled proceedings.

The reason for the prosecution was accusations of intentional damage to someone else’s property, brought after a conflict with the landlord. According to the prosecution, Brown broke the windshield of his car, after which the case went to trial. The woman denies intentional evasion of justice and says she is ready to investigate the situation.

Devine Brown became widely known in the summer of 1995, when the Los Angeles police detained her with Hugh Grant during intimate contact in a parked car. The incident caused an international scandal, as the actor was then in a relationship with model Elizabeth Hurley and was at the peak of popularity. Afterwards, Brown repeatedly said that sudden fame changed her life, but decades later her name was again associated with criminal proceedings.
