Being a mom alters a woman's life in more ways than one; she gets a baby and whole bunch of new responsibilities, so saying that motherhood changes someone is an absolute understatement!

Many of the celebrity moms on this list have changed a lot thanks to motherhood, while others seem to have had a lapse in judgment and now hope people will forget it ever happened. You've heard of Martha Stewart doing her jail time, you already know which Teen Mom stars have served some prison time as well as other reality television stars that have visited jail for one reason or another.

You're not surprised by their arrests because it's all over the internet and hard to ignore, but there are some celebrity moms that have managed to go under the radar with their arrests, proving that time can erase a lot of things from memory, you just can't really erase it from the internet.

Some of the moms on this list will shock you because they seem far too sweet to be charged with anything serious. These celebrity moms have made their mistakes, but unfortunately their mistakes will forever be recorded in the tabloids which eventually, when they’re old enough, their kids will find! I can’t even imagine that awkward conversation with the kiddos, there are perks to not being famous sometimes!

15 Behind The Smile

New momma to Bear Payne, Cheryl Cole has most likely forgotten her court troubles from 2003, but 2003 hasn’t forgotten about her! Sure she's been in the news for being a judge on X-Factor and having a baby with One Direction's Liam Payne, this could be why many haven’t heard about her past - the future is far more fascinating, and all has been scrubbed away. Cheryl was actually facing some pretty serious charges back at the start of her career with Girls Aloud. This British songstress was arrested for assault; in fact, it was originally listed as racially motivated assault. The altercation occurred in the ladies room with the bathroom attendant. Cole's sentence was later reduced to 120 hours of community service as punishment. So as sweet as that smile is, turns out Cheryl has a temper.

14 The Wild Child

Labeled the "Little Girl Lost" by People Magazine, most of the 90's was most likely a blur for Drew Barrymore. She’s known for being a wild child and even flashing David Letterman back in 1995 on live television! Drew had been arrested for drugs, but avoided prison with promises of rehab, which she attended twice in an attempt to sober up. Drew has admitted to starting smoking at the very young age of 8 and even revealed that Snoop Dogg was her drug dealer back when she was in high school! Her wild days have since been buried; she's made a miraculous comeback and starred in many hit films and now a Netflix series! She's still a fan of Mary-Jane but has pacified her partying ways since becoming a mom.

13 Loves It

Nicole Richie has actually been caught with drugs numerous times in the past, and was even caught taking drugs on camera! One of her arrests took place when she failed a sobriety test after being pulled over, she later confessed that she had smoked a little bit of weed earlier and had taken a Vicodin for her terrible menstrual cramps. She was arrested and sentenced to four days in jail, but she only served 82 hours of her sentence due to overcrowding in the L.A. jail at the time. Richie has really turned her life around since her stint on The Simple Life where she was portrayed as a dim partygoer with no remorse, but I think she’s truly quite the opposite as she’s a brilliant entrepreneur. She's married to rock star Joel Madden, they share 2 cute kids, and she even has her own fashion line!

12 Life Of Drama

Fist bumps have been replaced with spit ups for this mom of two, but we still remember hard partying Snooki’s Shore days. If you've watched the reality television show, Jersey Shore, you might already know that Snooki was arrested briefly for public intoxication, which seemed to be a daily occurrence on the show for most of them, not just Snooki. The Jersey Shore is a party place, so it's actually quite surprising that there weren't more arrests during the run of the reality show. After one drink too many Snook's was charged with disorderly conduct, and apparently this was not her only arrest, she had a few run in’s before the show too! She's done a great job of cleaning up her image since the end of the show, and is known better for her mommy duties and fashion line, distancing herself from the drama of the past.

11 Not So Elle Woods

America's sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, is perhaps one of the most shocking names on this list. She was arrested back in 2013 for allegedly interfering with the arrest of her husband, Jim Toth. The couple had been driving together in Atlanta, Georgia when they were pulled over by police. Police stopped Toth after watching him drive into the wrong lane and swerving. He was said to have been disheveled and smelling of alcohol, so the police handcuffed him, which sent Reese spiraling into a rage even being caught on camera saying some very un-Elle Woods things! Reese, most likely intoxicated herself, continued to get in the way of the arrest and acting oddly, forcing officers to handcuff her as well. Back at the station Toth was charged with a DUI and Reese was charged with disorderly conduct.

10 Lost It All

Athletic superstar and mother of 3 spent some time behind bars after accusations of fraud and drug use! The former Olympian, world champion track and field star, and pro basketball player was sentenced on January 11, 2008, to 6 months in prison after finding out about her involvement in a check fraud case as well as testing positive for the use of performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids. Apparently Marion Jones had been asked about the use of performance drugs, to which she lied and said she never used. In addition to prison time, Marion was sentenced to 2 years of probation and community service. She was absolutely heartbroken to be leaving her boys and pleaded with the judge, but “cheating” sends the wrong message and the judge was not here for it. Marion was later stripped of her medals as well.

9 A Late Outburst

This former member of the Mickey Mouse Club has since become a huge success, with many albums, a few films and even a hosting gig on The Voice! We all know that many child stars have their demons, there’s a lot of crazy pressure in the business, and Christina is no exception to that rule. Back in 2011 X-Tina was arrested for public intoxication. She had been driving with her boyfriend, and now baby-daddy, Matthew Rutler, and neither of them were particularly sober at the time. Police officers pulled them over after witnessing them driving erratically. Rutler was charged with a DUI for the incident. They were eventually released on bail and the charges were later dropped. You would think X-Tina would have been doing such wildly reckless things in her teen years, but this incident occurred at 30!

8 Smile For The Camera

Former wife to mega-producer Russell Simmons, former model, and owner of her very own fashion line, Kimora Lee Simons, mother of 4, was arrested after evading police! Officers had asked her to pull over due to a minor motor vehicle violation, but that’s when Kimora panicked and fled the scene, making her look very suspicious and aggravating police who now had to follow in pursuit. They later stopped her and searched the car once she had stopped the car at her home. Kimora had been running from the police because she knew what they would find, police handcuffed her immediately and took her in. She was later charged with marijuana possession and spent a few days in prison, but from the look of her mugshot she found it more amusing than embarrassing.

7 Flight Instinct

Halle Berry, one of the most beautiful women in the world is guilty of fleeing the scene of a crime. This incident is something many may have forgotten about because her career has really been skyrocketing since then. It's amazing how Hollywood helps us forget those bumps along the way to stardom. Halle Berry was arrested back in 2000 after running a red light and crashing into another vehicle in L.A. What's worse is that Berry ended up fleeing the scene after the accident. She ended up pleading no contest to the charge; she avoided jail time, but did receive 3 years of probation along with a $1,300 fine and 200 hours of community service. Thankfully, the driver she struck was not fatally injured, she did however suffer from a broken wrist and had to be helped out of her smashed car.

6 A Graceful Goodbye

The lovely and glamourous Italian film starlet Sophia Loren was charged with tax evasion back in 1974, but instead of being taken away in handcuffs, Loren willingly turned herself in to the authorities in Rome and served her time, although she pleaded that it was due to an error that her accountant had made. She did attempt to appeal the judgment but was eventually sentenced to 30 days in prison, but in actuality only spent 17 of those days in jail. Her children were 14 and 9 at the time and Loren recalls how awful it felt to leave them and tell them that their mother was going to prison for a little while, in her memoir she mentioned that prison and being locked away feels like “the worst form of punishment that any human being can ever be forced to endure."

5 Not Guilty

A true feminist we can all admire, Jane Fonda went to jail for a more noble reason in 1970, fighting for her reputation, as she was accused of something she wasn’t guilty of! In Ohio of 1970, Fonda was accused of smuggling drugs into the country by an airport security guard; she became extremely upset with his abuse of power as he continued to insist that her vitamins were drugs! In frustration she kicked the guard restraining her and threatening to arrest her, which he still did. She was briefly arrested for the incident, but was almost immediately released when the authorities finally realized the "drugs" were perfectly legal vitamins as Fonda had said! Fonda’s mugshot is something she’s proud of, she even wore it on a t-shirt back in 2009 to show that she hasn’t forgotten the injustice and that she always gets the last laugh!

4 Liar Liar Pants On Fire

Lil Kim has really transformed her entire look since this mugshot was taken, maybe it had something to do with wanting to erase the past and move forward by starting fresh. Lil Kim certainly doesn't sugar coat anything, but I am sure she would douse this story with a mountain of sugar if it meant you’d forget all about this arrest, she definitely doesn't look to thrilled about it. Kimberly Denise Jones was sentenced to prison after lying about the events of a shooting; the lies were considered an obstruction of justice as she fibbed in order to protect a friend who was involved in the shooting. Lil Kim was released on July 3, 2006 after serving a "lil" over a year in prison thanks to those little lies she told the grand jury.

3 An Ambitious Steal

She may not have killed anyone softly, but this songstress and former Fugee did forget to do her taxes! Lauren Hill was charged with tax evasion and spent a little over 3 months in federal prison. Now this was no small amount that she had forgotten to claim. Hill was found guilty of trying to hide more than 8 million dollars from the government! That sort of money wouldn’t go unnoticed, so you have to wonder why someone would attempt this! Lauren Hill continues to come back and then disappear and then repeat that cycle, this might actually be why most people don't even know she was ever arrested, because when you conveniently disappear from time to time, people just learn to expect it. Hill has always been pretty private and I’m sure she would love the world to forget about this.

2 It's All A Misunderstanding

Zsa Zsa Gabor had a DUI before they ever went mainstream with celebrities! Back in 1989 Zsa Zsa was pulled over for a routine check by an officer on a motorcycle. The officer found that she was driving with an expired license! Becoming impatient, Zsa Zsa actually drove off, causing the officer to follow in pursuit. After he pulled her over again, she got out of the car and slapped him! What the officer later found was an open alcoholic beverage next to her. The odd thing is that the cop might have even let her go, but changed his mind when she slapped him for pulling her over in the first place! Zsa Zsa spent 3 days in jail for this incident and maintained that it was all a big misunderstanding.

1 Quite The Criminal Record

Melrose Place alumni and absolute beauty Heather Locklear has dated rock stars, but she had never followed their bad boy behaviour until more recently! Believe it or not, Locklear has been arrested twice! Locklear’s first arrest took place back in 2008 when she was charged with a DUI after driving recklessly around Santa Barbara. Although nothing was found in her system, it was argued that her prescription medications might have impaired her driving. DUI charges were dropped, but she was sentenced to 3 years of probation, a driver’s safety class and a $700 fine. Unfortunately her first offense wasn’t her only, her second arrest was misdemeanor in 2010 for a hit and run charge where she ran into a “no parking” sign and fled the scene without informing anyone. Cops were able to track Locklear down by examining the debris at the scene of the crime.
