The Truth About Bhad Bhabie's Criminal Past

Not many teenagers can brag about being on Dr. Phil and gaining fame, good or bad, by the age of 17. But Bhad Bhabie — whose real name is Danielle Peskowitz Bregoli and was commonly referred to as the "cash me outside" girl after her appearance on Dr. Phil's show — has a long, complicated list of unique milestones that have turned her into a controversial figure. 

Bregoli first came into the public eye during a 2016 interview with Dr. Phil, who tried to tease out the tense relationship between the then-13-year-old and her mother. During the show, Bregoli's mother alleged that she was already stealing vehicles, credit cards, and cash. In what seemed to be an attempt to say, "Catch me outside, how about that?", the teenager went viral for saying instead, "Cash me ousside, howbow dah?"

Since then, the controversial star has turned into a self-proclaimed rapper, taken on the stage name Bhad Bhabie, and used her brand to dabble in various business undertakings, including having her own clothing line and promoting other brands. Most recently, the teen, who is white, has come under heat from fans and social media users over accusations of blackfishing after posting a video with noticeably darker skin. 

It's clear the troublemaker-turned-celebrity has been up to a lot since we last checked in with her, including racking up criminal charges.

In 2017, Danielle Bregoli was sentenced for four charges: two counts of grand theft, one charge of possession of marijuana, and another charge of filing a false police report, according to TMZ. The last count came after Bregoli allegedly tried to frame her mother for drug use. According to the New York Post, she told law enforcement that her mom was using heroin after the teenager herself spread powdered sugar on a bathroom counter. 

The charges earned her five years of probation in California, where she lives with her mother, but no jail time as part of a plea deal. A slew of other charges were dropped as part of the agreement.

But records show Bregoli has gotten herself into much more trouble than just what she's been charged for. As described by Elite Daily and originally sourced to TMZ, Bregoli has a police record that shows she was involved with the cops a whopping 51 times between February 2016 and February 2017. Incidents for which the cops got involved include a range of domestic incidents, verbal threats and fraud, alongside the already-known auto theft. There was even a warrant for her arrest, the records show.

So while Bregoli is on probation for just five years and skimped jail time, she could be in real trouble if she violates her promise of good behavior — in other words, let's hope we don't cash her in any other legal trouble, howbow dah?
