Actor and singer Rick Springfield is currently facing immense online scrutiny for admitting to committing manslaughter during his youth. During a September 2026 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, the 77-year-old revealed that he accidentally killed an enemy combatant while touring Vietnam as a teenager in 1968. Rick finally felt light after opening up about the details of the long-held, traumatic memory.
Rick had a reckless, Casanova-like image back in the 90s. He admitted to making several mistakes back then, blaming it on growing up in a band. Besides being a murderer, he was also a bad partner. Rick himself admitted to using women to feed his addiction to intimacy and thought it was not a big deal to cheat on his partners multiple times.
