In 2016, Llyod was taken to a mental hospital in order to treat him for schizophrenia. Although, his date of release is not reported yet, his fans and family wish the best for him.

Orlando Brown starred in the famous That’s So Raven (2003-07) TV series. But his life as an adult has been marked by one controversy after another and there really doesn’t seem a silver lining. He was arrested in 2011 on a DUI charge for which he was given 180 days behind the bar. Following this, Brown became infamous for not complying to court order, abusing girlfriend, threatening to kill a woman and her child and possession of meth. He also went on to make some indecent remarks about his former co-star Raven-Symone.

Furlong’s life as an adult has nothing but highly eventful. His big break as young John Connor in Terminator 2 (1991) was followed by a series of arrests, violations and abuses as an adult. He had to be sent to rehab for a number of reasons like driving under the influence, driving without license,and drug overdose. His marriage with Rachael Bella from The Ring (2002) fell apart only 3 years after later. He was put under a restraining order by Bella, which he reportedly violated. In 2016, Furlong was seen with actress Monica Keena with whom also he shared an abusive relationship.
