Imagine: you're watching tv and, suddenly, a face pops on the screen that you recognize. It's your cousin, or old friend, or maybe even your brother. You're all like “OMG I KNOW THAT PERSON.”
But it's not always something awesome like they're on Ellen or they saved someone's life. Sure, you might run into an old friend that's now a stripper, but that isn't all that common.
On the contrary, a lot of the time, the reason is pretty bad. They got arrested for a brutal crime, or are being interviewed for a drug addiction. That's not the kind of thing you want to stumble upon.
The following 23 people unintentionally stumbled upon someone they know, either through the news or just in passing. And these aren't just your run of the mill encounters, they discovered some crazy information about the person in the process.
