7 Celebrities Who Were Victims Of Extortion And Blackmail

Before his hit single “Blurred Lines” climbed to the top of the charts, Robin Thicke wasn’t especially well known. Over the past year, however, everything he does seems to spark headlines. From his raunchy 2013 VMA performance with Miley Cyrus to his controversial video for “Blurred Lines,” controversy follows Robin everywhere . Here are 9 big scandals involving Robin Thicke!

9. Blurred Lines Controversy

Robin Thicke’s hit song “Blurred Lines” came under fire last summer when critics contended that the song contains rape overtones and degrades women. The video features T.I., Pharrell Williams and Thicke – who are all fully clothed – with three three scantily clad models in various stages of undress dancing around them. According to the Canadian singer, the song is intended to celebrate his 20-year relationship with Paula Patton.

8. Copyright Infringement

When the family of deceased singer Marvin Gaye alleged that Robin Thicke’s single “Blurred Lines” had the same feel and sound as Gaye’s song “Got to Give It Up,” Thicke, along with Pharrell Williams and T.I., filed a pre-emptive lawsuit asking a federal judge to declare that their song was not a copyright infringement on Gaye’s work. The Gaye family countersued; however, they were accused of making an invalid copyright claim since only expressions, not individualistic ideas, can be protected.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s relationship was allegedly rocky before his raunchy performance with the “Hannah Montana” star at the 2013 VMAs, although no one has specified why. When the “Precious” actress saw how sexual the performance was, she was supposedly quite upset; however, Thicke reportedly begged her to defend him and the controversial performance, so she agreed to put on a united front during award season, which would explain the timing of the separation announcement.
