Child stars have always held a special place in our hearts, as they became part of our lives while growing up. One name that continues to resonate with those who grew up in the 1970s is Ricky Schroder. He captured our attention with his Golden Globe-winning performance in “The Champ” and went on to steal our hearts as the lead character in “Silver Spoons”.
But Ricky’s journey was not all glitz and glamour. Behind the scenes, he faced personal struggles that tarnished his reputation. In 1992, he found himself in a dark moment when he was arrested for domestic violence, charged with assault and battery against his then-girlfriend. It was a troubling incident that overshadowed his success on the big screen.
Despite these setbacks, Ricky’s story took another turn. He and his girlfriend got married and had four children together. However, their marriage eventually ended in divorce in 2016, sparking a downward spiral for Ricky. He lost himself in a cycle of constant partying, struggling to find his way.
