''Party of Five'' Star Kidnapped, Forced to ''Smoke Dope''

Actor Jeremy London -- who starred in TV's 'Party of Five' and the iconic stoner classic 'Dazed and Confused' -- found himself in a terrifying situation this month when he was kidnapped by two men and forced to smoke drugs, according to a RadarOnline report. The details of the incident are quite unbelievable, and two men have been charged so far. According to the Radar report, the 37-year-old London was changing a flat tire in Palm Springs, California, on June 10 when two men pulled over, initially claiming they wanted to help him. Things then took a quick turn, and London found himself being forcibly kidnapped by the two men. The men then drove London in his own car, holding him at gunpoint the entire time. Five hours later, London somehow escaped, but according to what he told the police, the kidnapping was just the beginning of his scary and wild night. "He told officers [during the kidnapping] that he was forced to smoke dope and then purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs," Sergeant Steve Douglas of the Palm Springs Police Department told RadarOnline.com. Two men, whose identities haven't been revealed, have been arrested and charged over the incident -- and it was all by chance. A police officer had driven by the two men while they were helping London change his tire, and was later able to identify them. The drug portion of this story is doubly serious for London, who has battled drug addiction in the past. In September of 2009, he checked into rehab to fight his prescription pill addiction.

• Uh-huh.

• Oh my god.\ \ This reminds me of that time in college when I get kidnapped by that group of guys who forced me to smoke pot and eat two family-sized bags of Cool Ranch Doritos.\ \ Honest mom, I was kidnapped!

  Binky, the "Lost" Von Trapp

• What? No sex?

• It was his brother, Jason London, who was in "Dazed and Confused."

• And later, Natasha Lyonne and Margot Kidder were brought into the gang area and forced to act crazy.

• Didn''t this happen on Six Feet Under?

• Highly believable. LOL!

• Oh, the horror! Can you imagine if the US applied this type of torture to suspected terrorists! I mean, it was scary, right?

• God, I hate when that happens.

• This reminds me of a plot in Melrose Place where Sydney was kidnapped and forced to go to Las Vegas, sleep in a suite and wear designer clothing!

• I don''t believe a word of this.

• So these ruffians pulled over, changed the tire on his car so that they could kidnap him in it, then forced him to smoke dope and hand out booze? Really, Jeremy?

• you don''t understand! I''m sure London is quite the introvert, prone to social anxiety! Can you imagine being like that, and FORCED to hang out, smoke and drink for HOURS? Poor man, the horror....

  crying as i type

• This. Never. Happened.

• Did they force him to smoke pot or to smoke pole?

  Hmmmm...

• They wanted me to go to rehab, but I was KIDNAPPED! KIDNAPPED! KIDNAPPED!

  Amy "Swiss Family" Winehouse

• I don''t find this unbelievable in the least. They just wanted to fuck with him. It was a game. Fuck with a white boy. You people are sheltered.

• As incredible as it sounds, things like this do happen.

  Sookie Stackhouse

• They should''ve forced him to diet instead.

• "...forced to smoke dope and then purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs."\ \ Was that the oldsters golfing ''hood?

  Ghost of Bob Hope

• Yes, r17--negros like to "fuck with a white boy" by changing his tires and giving him their dope and booze. Roaming Tyrones!

• From the Kevin Spacey school of excuses. Lindsey Lohan should definitely give it a shot at the next hearing.

• Did he conveniently have some sort of drug testing coming up, perhaps in relation to probation or a new job?

  Sceptilla Sceptical

• What a stupid post r21. Yes, they would force someone to do drugs with them. They helped change his tire because they TOOK HIS FUCKING CAR with him in it. And they made him hand out alcohol to all the homies. That''s FUCKING with him. You can''t seriously be that PC and clueless?

• R24: smoking the same kind of weed as the perps.

• It says the two men "pulled over," meaning they had their own car. So why they felt the need to help him change his tire before kidnapping him is still up in the air. Because I doubt that has-been had a good car. And there was no mention of a gun being used. How, exactly, did they force him? And while he was in the store buying alcohol, why didn''t he seek help from the proprietor? Even if they were in there with him, what are they going to do? Drag him out by the heels?\ \ I think you''re the clueless one, R24.

• he just got out of rehab. This unfortunate event will set his recovery back.

• Another report I read about this says that "dope" means coke and meth, not marijuana.\ \ "Here, stranger, consume the drugs I paid for..."

• They helped him change his tire so they could take his car, morons. And how the fuck do you know he has a shitty car?

• I can''t believe it''s not butter!

• R24= Dr. Drew\ \ Relax, bitch, he''s already signed up for your show!

• Jason = the hot one\ \ Jeremy = the fat one who was busted for pot possession when he was on "7th Heaven" and subsequently lost his job playing a young preacher.

• W&W for r19.

• I eat shit.

  R24

• I can''t believe none of you are aware of the behavior of a predator, any kind of predator. They want to fuck with the victim, control the victim. Making the victim get high against their will makes perfect sense.

• hmmmmmm

• I have blinders on to reality because observation is racist.

  r34

• OMG! OMG! It''s like Training Day when Denzel tricks Ethan into doing drugs!!!

• [quote]I can''t believe none of you are aware of the behavior of a predator, any kind of predator.\ \ Predators want something from their prey. What did these guys want from Landon? They didn''t take anything. Instead, they were the ones who were giving everything to him. THAT is what doesn''t make sense.

• r39, his dignity?

• Did they make him dress up a slutty girl and "dance" for them, like in Oz?

• Landon?

• R41\ \ dress up AS a slutty girl

  Me Write Pretty One Day

• "I have blinders on to reality because observation is racist."\ \ No--actually believing that someone would kidnap a person for the sole purpose of giving them dope and booze, simply because the person making the accusation is white and those accused are black is what is racist, fool. This isn''t the plot to one of your stroke videos about being "forced" by big, black men. Grow a brain.

  **rolling eyes**

• Precisely r40. R44. It was degradation, what they were doing to him. And theft. Of his fucking car. To take someone by force, make them smoke your crack and then make them go buy you beer and hand it out to all your friends? That''s degradation. You are so damn ignorant about what happens in this world.

• Back in the 1980''s there was a daytime talk show on Channel 5 (I think) where the female host had two sons with the last name London. The mom''s name might have been London as well. Are the two kids I saw on TV years ago the same two London kids we''re talking about now?

  BiPolarBear

• Is he the twin who was arrested for beating the shit out of his baby mama or was that the other one?

• Okay, I see that you''re attempting to be funny now, r45. Ha ha.

• The truth about this will come out in a couple of days. This story being released to the media is probably part of the police investigation. Betting that they don''t buy a word of this guy''s story and they''re about to nail him. Cops do that all the time with investigations, release fake news stories to the media.

• Those London boys were quite the hotties, but time has not been kind.

• Pics at huffingtonppost. The guy still looks high! WTF?

• [quote]It was a game. Fuck with a white boy. You people are sheltered.\ \ And you people are bigoted.

• I totally believe it. This kind of shit happens. Not everywhere, though.

• Completely believable.\ \ As an example: People quickly sit down on chairs. forgetting they had left Budweiser Longneck bottles there, all the time. And any ER doc performing emerging rectal surgery who scoffs at the story is a cunt of the first order. These things happen.

  Kevin Spacey, seeing a dog about a phone

• Is "smoking dope" another way of saying "sucking dick"?

• R26, you missed a crucial point to the article:\ \ [quote]The men then drove London in his own car, holding him at gunpoint the entire time.\ \ Let me paraphrase, since you lack reading comprehension skills:\ \ [quote]at gunpoint\ \ again\ \ [quote]gun

• R54 is right, I can''t tell you how many times this shit happens.

  L. Lohan, victim

• r24 rocks my world! PC will be the death of us all

• W&W, R55.\ \ [quote]I have blinders on to reality because observation is racist.\ \ Shut the fuck up, Cole.

• I''m not sure how it''s PC to be skeptical of a story by a drug addict in which he is a victim of a crime that conveniently makes him do the very thing he shouldn''t. Gang members spend more time shooting innocent bystanders with their lousy aim than they do crimes of degradation. \ \ And now that his own twin has called the story preposterous in an Eonline interview it seems the situation is exactly as it appears. A man''s attempt to justify to his family why he was missing for five hours and is on drugs.\ \ The interview with his mom and brother is on E! Online and kind of sad.

• There was an article earlier today interviewing friends of the alleged kidnapper and they all agreed that they believe that he would have done drugs, but he would never have forced anyone to do drugs. That idea seemed ridiculous.\ \ It seems now that his wife was in the car at one point during this "kidnapping". And the story unravels even more...

• Spooky story, just in time for Halloween. I''m shivering.

• Why do people doubt Mr. London''s story? Celebrities often have unique and strange experiences that you regular folk cannot even imagine.

  Celestia, aka Anne Heche

• Does this guy have a job or does he still think of himself as an ''actor''?

• The scary part is that some doofus is actually going to try to prosecute the "kidnapper". Incredible.\ \ It''s all highly believable. People get kidnapped at gunpoint to smoke dope everyday. They also see fairies in the garden, spot bigfoot in the woods, and get abducted by UFO''s and "probed".

• Why can''t this kind of shit ever happen to me?

  Looking to Score

• According to the guy from D-Listed, Mischa Barton is now driving around Palm Springs with a flat tire.

• I''ll bet if he didn''t have the drug problem, his character -and not that lunkfaced Stultz brother''s- would''ve ended up marrying Lucy "Plymouth Valiant Face" Camden.\ \ How does one define a drug problem on a Brenda Hampton set anyway? Stealing drugs from Brenda?

• yea r55, or Gerbils...

  Richard Gere

• Jason was in Mallrats with Shannon Doherty, right? \ \ What else did Jason and the mom say in the E interview?

• Yeah...um don''t believe a word of it.

• It gets weirder and funnier

• Spends an evening snorting meth and sucking off a group of brothas for hours and hours.\ \ Next!

• Told ya the truth about this would start coming out. There''s probably more to come.

  R49

• The *truly* weird part is that as of this afternoon, London is still hanging out in Palm Springs.\ \ If he felt that his life was in mortal danger and that Brandon and his crew were really "out to get him," why the hell isn''t he back in LA? Surely he could crash with his twin brother or some other relative. The guy has lost touch with reality.

• In the E! Online clip his mother and brother indicate that prior to this incident they believed that he had started using again and that when he gave an interview to E! and said he was clean he was lying. His brother also expressed frustration that the fact his twin has a child isn''t enough to keep him sober. The mom also mentioned their sister who had been killed years ago in a car accident. The brother was incredibly frustrated and angry. The mom devastated at the thought of maybe losing another child. \ \ He could be hanging around in Palm Springs because that''s where his kid is. Although on E! they said he no longer had visitation.

  r61

• This will actually make a great episode of Intervention.

  Jeff Vanvonderen

• Does Palm Springs really have a ghetto?

• The most unbelievable part of the whole story is him being called the star of "Party Of Five".

• This is so PattY Hearst.

• R80 = Scott Wolf

• This just in:\ \ The wife of Jeremy London tells TMZ the actor''s mother, brother and his brother''s girlfriend have all been served with cease and desist notices in order to keep them from talking about Jeremy''s ongoing kidnapping case.\ \ London told police earlier this month that he was kidnapped at gunpoint in Palm Springs, and forced to do drugs. One suspect was arrested, but two more are still at large.\ \ Now London''s wife Melissa tells TMZ she''s nervous that Jeremy''s family has been talking about the case to various media outlets -- thinking that the family blabbing to the media would somehow hamper the case.\ \ Jeremy''s rep tells TMZ lawyers for Jeremy served the family members with cease and desist letters on Saturday.

• \ Troubled Party of Five star Jeremy London begged a neighbor to wash his cars to earn some extra cash, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.\ \ In an exclusive video interview, London''s neighbor, Cameron Khoie , a car salesman, says he allowed the actor to work for him after his marriage crumbled, and his debts spiraled out -of -control.

  I guess that explains why he was abusing crack.

• \ He is being held on $500,000 bail at Larry D. Smith correctional facility.\ \ For this cracked out druggie / dlisted actor has been.\ \ Wow so was there any Homo Sex involved?\ \ Why would he have to kidnap someone to do crack with.\ \ Thats what crack houses is for.

  shits is not adding up

• Hes full of shit.\ \ Radar reports hes layng low in undisclosed location.\ \ Yet he has time to send out press releases.\ \ The saying is true bad publicity is good publicity.\ \ I bet he gets a reality show.\ \ Jeremy London my life smoking crack on the dlist.

• It is always best to blame these things on black people. It worked for me!

  Susan Smith

• [quote]I bet he gets a reality show.\ \ More likely ends up on that Dr. Drew rehab show.

• I wonder if it was a previous drug dealer who was pissed off with him maybe? \ \ I think in reality what really happened is what someone on the thread said already is that he might have been raped. Also, I think he is too embarrassed to have that be known so he might have said, they made him take dope instead. However, they made him have sex with them. However, Jason''s explanation sounds bogus. Some thugs don''t care to go through all of that trouble. They just hold a gun to your head, take your money, and split with your car. A police officer said he saw two guys change his tire. If they saw a police care driving by, wouldn''t you think they would get a little nervous? because they don''t want their identities to be known?\ \ BTW, are one of the brothers gay? One of the brothers use to be, very hot.

• This thread is cracking me up. You guys are making me laugh so hard. What you are saying is so true yet I''m LOL. You made my day a little brighter. Whenever you feel low, come to DL.

• How much cum did he chug?

• Wasn''t Jeremy at The Slammer both Friday AND Saturday that weekend!

• You sound like a fucking idiot, r91.

• I think R91 is fucking HILARIOUS!!! People do nothing good when they''re on drugs. A friend of mine let this guy rim him for over a hour because they were doing drugs. Not good.

• Okay, I''ll bite. How is getting rimmed for over an hour "not good" R96 ?

• R97, neither of us like being rimmed and we find it gross. But because he was so fucked up he let this guy go to town on his ass.

• The plot thickens

  http://dlisted.com/node/37789

• Apparently he was watching an old DVD of 6 Feet Under and saw the episode where David gets kidnapped by the psycho meth addict...

• Forced to smoke pole.\ \ Next!

• Probably deserves its own thread but I'm not a chump. Jason London crapped himself in the back seat of a cop car Sunday morning ... minutes after the "Dazed & Confused" actor was punched in the face in a bar fight ... this according to a police report obtained by TMZ.

  http://www.tmz.com/2013/01/29/jason-london-arrested-crapped-assault-mug-shot/

• R102 Disgusting!

• TMZ says: [quote]On his way to the police station ... Jason uttered a homophobic slur to the cops ... saying, "Guess what fa**ot? I f***ing love this. I f***ing own you guys so hard. I'm rich and I'm a motherf***ing famous actor! F***ing look me up, bitch." Welp, another homophobic has-been shithead (or I should say "shitpants").

• Is he the Scientologist or,is that the brother?

• It deserves a different thread because it is a different twin!
