Screen Shot 2013-05-08 at 6.00.51 PMYou won’t do it again, The Smoking Gun. Just as the viral celebrity of our times won over Anderson Cooper, with an endorsement deal with McDonald’s sure to follow, we find out that Charles Ramsey was a criminal. The Smoking Gun uncovered his past:

The Cleveland man credited with helping free female captives from a house of horrors is a convicted felon whose rap sheet includes three separate domestic violence convictions that resulted in prison terms, court records show.

Charles Ramsey, whose 911 call and subsequent TV interviews have made him a microcelebrity, was once a repeat spousal abuser whose marriage ended in divorce following a 2003 felony conviction for battering his wife.

Ramsey’s ex-wife Rochelle, who secured a divorce decree after her former spouse was locked up, told TSG that Ramsey eventually apologized for battering her. However, Rochelle said, “The only thing is he never paid child support,” which was mandated at $51 per month in the divorce decree. She added that, “The county has taken his driving privileges away for non-support.”

In 2011, TSG also uncovered the checkered past of homeless voice talent Ted Williams, who was also from Ohio, as if a homeless man from Ohio wouldn’t have a checkered past. Williams had some substance abuse problems and a few petty thefts. Now TSG is here to tear down hero and awesome bro Ramsey for his past… as if a guy with three teeth flashing his paycheck on national TV living in a shitty part of Cleveland wouldn’t have a checkered past. Dead giveaway! DEAD GIVEAWAY! But the dude doesn’t even want the reward money– just Big Macs. Because that’s what Charles Ramsey does: saves white women and eats Big Macs. Yeah, it would have been a lot better if he had bar fight battery or petty theft as opposed to domestic violence, but what good does it do the tear the man down? Half our celebrities have done worse. I’m not in any way endorsing what Ramsey did – it’s shitty and sucks – but what’s the point? Even Ramsey’s ex-wife is on an OK basis with him. He’s been clean since his kidnapper neighbor locked up three women… three women that Ramsey saved… while eating a Big Mac.
