dispute
Chace Crawford’s career has been relatively free of controversy, but he has encountered some noteworthy incidents and rumors during his time in the spotlight. In 2010, Crawford made headlines when he was arrested for marijuana possession in Plano, Texas.
The actor was caught with less than two ounces of marijuana in a parked car, leading to his arrest. He later agreed to a plea deal that would keep him out of jail and eventually clear his record if he met certain conditions, including performing 24 hours of community service and reporting to a probation officer.
The incident temporarily threatened his squeaky-clean image, especially given his role in Gossip Girl, which was at the time the most popular show. However, Crawford handled the situation in a professional manner, neither denying the incident nor letting it define his career.
Rumors persisted about his personal life and especially about his sexual orientation. While Crawford has always maintained his privacy, the speculation intensified during his time on Gossip Girl. He has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, choosing to keep his personal life separate from his professional life.
His portrayal of The Deep in The Boys also sparked some controversy, as the character was involved in several morally questionable storylines. Some critics initially questioned whether Crawford, known primarily for his work in teen dramas, could handle such a complex and controversial role. However, his performance has largely put those doubts to rest.
There were rumors of on-set tension between cast members during Crawford’s time on Gossip Girl, but Crawford was generally not directly involved in these stories. Some media outlets have suggested that the show’s young cast members engaged in questionable behavior, but these claims have never been confirmed.
Crawford recently faced backlash for his comments about the possibility of a Gossip Girl reunion, when he suggested the original show’s premise wouldn’t work in today’s social media age. Some fans interpreted these comments as a slight against the show’s legacy, although Crawford later clarified his remarks.
