Oh man, the story goes down in Hollywood lore—on December 4, 1988, Busey was riding his Harley‑Davidson in Culver City when he hit a patch of gravel, lost control, and flipped over the handlebars, landing head-first on a curb—without a helmet 😬. That crash left a half-dollar-sized hole in his head and led to severe traumatic brain injury. He spent weeks in a coma and required brain surgery, but somehow pulled through and came back stronger—well, different, at least. Since then, he’s been quite open that the accident changed him forever.

When we get into a car accident, I use all my strength to push my mother, Sheila Carver, out of the way.
But after Mom is saved, she completely ignores me as I lie trapped under the wreckage. Instead, she immediately leads the rescue team over to my younger brother, Lance Howell, who has only scraped his knee, and frantically makes sure it gets disinfected and bandaged.
With the last bit of my strength, I beg Mom to save me.
But she simply shouts at me with annoyance, "Can't you pick a better time to fight for attention? Do you have any idea that Lance could have been left with a scar?"
Soon after, I die from lack of urgent care, and my body turns cold.
Mom, however, loses her mind overnight.
Right before New Year’s, the sports car I had waited six months for was finally delivered. However, my wife Vanessa snatched the keys from my hand.
“Ryan likes sports cars. Let him take yours for a quick spin.”
I refused. I knew her godbrother, Ryan, did not even have a driver’s license.
Still, she secretly gave him the keys anyway. When I saw my car again, the car hood was covered in blood.
Vanessa was holding Ryan. Her face was full of distress, and her words left me stunned.
“Honey, please take the blame for Ryan. No one will make things hard for you with your background.”
I immediately refused, but Vanessa then pulled out her phone.
“I already turned you in. Just go along with it. You’ll be fine.”
I could not believe my eyes when I saw the police call history.
A car accident left me with severe brain injuries. I was left hanging by a thread.
My wife, a renowned medical genius, personally operated on me for 18 consecutive hours, pulling me back from death's grasp.
Yet, the first words I said to her after waking up were, "Grace, I want a divorce."
Her eyes were filled with tears. "Derek, I just saved your life, and now, you want to leave me? Is it because I've been too busy at the hospital? Because I haven't spent enough time with you?"
I frowned. "It's exactly because you saved me that I want this divorce. I won't let you sacrifice your reputation for me."
The family elders tried to reason with me. "Grace is such a wonderful wife. She takes care of everything and loves you deeply. Why insist on a divorce? Why throw away such happiness?"
No matter who approached me, I dismissed them with the same response. "If you think she's so perfect, then she'll be available once we're divorced."
The elders were furious. "Fine! Get your divorce! But don't come crying to us when you regret it!"
I whispered under my breath, "The only thing I regret is not divorcing her sooner."
My brother came back from his heir-training course convinced he was destined to marry an ultra-wealthy heiress.
He took my car and tried to crash into the rear of Wendy Hewitt's vehicle. That girl was a top heiress in Greateast's elite circle, and my brother wanted to set up a chance encounter with her.
I slammed on the brakes and told him the Hewitts were no fools. If my brother were to crash into that car, it would ruin our whole family's finances and then some.
Wendy eventually held a grand wedding that shook the whole nation. My brother was consumed by jealousy. He insisted he would have been the groom if I had not stopped him that day.
That resentment festered into hatred. In the end, my brother drove his car straight into me.
I died.
…
When my eyes snapped open again, I found myself back in the passenger seat—back on the very day my brother tried to create that so-called chance encounter.
A smug smile tugged at his lips as his eyes stayed fixed on the car ahead. "The moment Wendy sees me, I'll have her heart. And then I'll ditch this scrap metal."
I didn't stop him this time. My brother stepped on the gas and crashed straight into the 50-million-dollar supercar.
Sylvia Frost and Victor Rothwell's wedding had been postponed 33 times.
This time, it happened on the night before the ceremony. She was struck by a car and left with 19 broken bones. She was rushed to the ICU three separate times before her condition finally stabilized.
Once she was strong enough to leave her bed, she braced herself against the wall and shuffled into the hallway. As she reached the corner, she overheard her fiancé speaking with a friend.
"Last time it was drowning. This time you used a car. That gets you another two months. What are you going to do next?"
Sylvia's blood turned to ice.
Victor stood there in his white coat, his phone turning slowly in his hand.
"No more delays." His voice remained flat.
In my last international car racing championship,
the front tire of my car suddenly burst, causing the car to roll over.
The cars behind me collided with me one by one.
After 99 times, I was unrecognizable from the impacts.
Just as I reached out to my boyfriend for help by instinct,
he kicked me away, my body covered in blood and flesh.
“Don't dirty my newly tailored clothes today.”
He turned around, picked up the champion who had just crossed the finish line, and spun her around, smiling and saying:
“Sharon, only the championship trophy is worthy of you. I will remove all obstacles for you.”
Blood stained my entire body.
Watching the two of them embrace as the sun set, I felt numb and desperate.
What he didn't know was that among these red stains was the child who had just come into this world.
At that moment, I gave up on continuing to love him.
Whoa, the news about Gary Busey has been seriously wild this year. At age 81, he actually pleaded guilty to a fourth‑degree criminal sexual contact charge back in late July. It stemmed from a misogynistic incident at Monster‑Mania Con in New Jersey in August 2022, where he admitted to intentionally touching a woman’s buttocks during a photo op. He bluntly told the judge, “It was not an accidental touching.”
That means he now faces possible fines and 1–5 years probation, with sentencing coming on September 18, 2025. His defense lawyer is already pushing for just a fine—all while commenting that Busey might’ve been “overcharged” because of his fame.
He originally denied everything when the accusations surfaced—saying to TMZ none of it happened—but has now reversed course with that guilty plea.
His legal troubles include past run‑ins: a serious motorcycle crash in the ’80s causing permanent brain damage, a near‑fatal cocaine overdose in 1995, and earlier allegations of assault and spousal abuse.
Alright dude, brace yourself: apparently the one-and-only Gary Busey isn’t exactly swimming in cash these days. Most sources peg his net worth at around $500,000—less than you might expect for a Hollywood veteran with his resume. Some even suggest he’s barely scraping by thanks to past legal costs, medical bills, and a bankruptcy filing back in 2012. One Redditor put it bluntly:
“googling his net worth… homie is down bad” and “Net worth is 500k, medical bills might still be kicking his butt”
Yeah, not the millionaire lifestyle you’d imagine.
