The upcoming royal wedding has everyone buzzing, and as we look back at history we uncover the 10 terribly dysfunctional royal weddings that could make even the most seasoned planner break out in a cold sweat. From drunken grooms to murderous alliances, these unions proved that even crowns can’t guarantee a happily‑ever‑after.

Why These 10 Terribly Dysfunctional Weddings Matter

Each of these marriages offers a cautionary tale about power, politics, and personal incompatibility. They remind us that a grand ceremony can mask deep‑seated problems that explode in the most spectacular ways.

10 George IV And Caroline Of Brunswick

There are many reasons for a royal wedding to take place. Diplomacy, inheritance, and even love can all be pressing reasons. In George IV’s case, it was money that made all the difference.

While still a prince, he fell into huge debt that the British parliament only agreed to pay off if he made a suitable marriage. His cousin Caroline of Brunswick was chosen for this honor and wooed with flattering portraits of the rather corpulent prince. She arrived in Britain to meet her future husband. Things did not go well.

If Caroline found George disappointing, then it was nothing compared to George’s impression of her. He thought that she was fat, ugly, short, and stinky from never washing. He embraced her and fled, remarking to his friend, “Harris, I am not well. Pray, get me a glass of brandy.”

George resorted to alcohol to get through the wedding ceremony a few days later. By the evening of their wedding day, the groom was so drunk that he collapsed into the fireplace and slept there until morning. The couple managed to have one child before separating forever.

When it was time for George’s coronation, he banned his wife from attending. She had to be driven away from the event at bayonet point.

9 Henry VIII And Anne Of Cleves

No one would call Henry VIII an ideal husband. He forced England to break away from Catholicism to get rid of his first wife. He accused his second wife, Anne Boleyn, of adultery and incest and had her beheaded. When his third wife died after the birth of Henry’s much longed‑for male heir, the king started looking for a fourth to replace her.

Unfortunately, the marriageable noblewomen of Europe were not all keen to have him. When he pursued the tall Marie of Guise as a bride, she quipped, “I may be big in person, but my neck is small.” The beautiful Christina of Denmark was another possible bride, but she remembered the fate of Anne Boleyn, too. Christina said, “If I had two heads, one should be at the king of England’s disposal.”

In the end, Henry was convinced to marry Anne of Cleves. He had been sent a flattering portrait of her, and his minister, Thomas Cromwell, said that Anne excelled other women’s beauty “as the golden Sun excels the silver Moon.”

When she arrived in England, Henry chivalrously rode through a storm to surprise her with gifts. He burst into her room. Immediately, he was disappointed. He stalked from the room while declaring, “I like her not.”

It was too late for the king to back out, and the marriage went ahead. Henry groused to Cromwell, “My lord, if it were not to satisfy the world and my realm, I would not do that I must do this day for none earthly thing.”

Henry found Anne’s body disgusting and refused to consummate the marriage, annulling the union the same year. Perhaps Anne was lucky. She outlived Henry and led a happy life in England without the king as her husband. Cromwell got the axe for forcing the king into this marriage.

8 Matilda Of Tuscany And Welf V

Being a female ruler has always been tough. In the Middle Ages, it was extraordinarily difficult for a woman to keep her throne. Sometimes, it took killing her husband to remain in power. Many suspected Matilda of Tuscany of securing the death of her first husband.

Matilda was facing invasion from the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, and the Pope urged her to marry again to help secure her lands. In her forties, Matilda was betrothed to Welf V of Bavaria, who was around 16 years old.

Welf was welcomed to Matilda’s lands by thousands of attendants, and the wedding was to be celebrated with 120 days of lavish spectacle. All was looking well for this royal marriage.

For some reason, however, the young Welf was not interested in sleeping with his bride. Two nights went by without a consummation. On the third, Matilda had a table set up and placed herself naked on it to tempt him.

When Welf hesitated, Matilda slapped him, shouting, “Get out of here, monster, you don’t deserve our kingdom, you vile thing, viler than a worm or a rotten seaweed, don’t let me see you again, or you’ll die a miserable death.”

The marriage was not a success, and the two separated.

7 Philip II Of France And Ingeborg

Philip II of France had a complicated marital history. He married his first wife when he was just 15 and she was 10. When she was only 14 years old, Philip tried to divorce her.

Officially, it was because she had not yet given him an heir, but it was really for political reasons. The young queen was too popular, and Philip was forced to remain married to her. She did give him a son but died later during another birth. Philip decided to get a new wife.

He looked to Denmark for a marriage that would shore up his power. Princess Ingeborg was selected to be the new French queen. Ingeborg was said to be “very kind, young of age but old of wisdom.” The king and his queen met for the first time on their wedding day.

The wedding night was apparently a success in that Philip managed to have sex with Ingeborg, but it was a short success. At her coronation the next day, the king told Ingeborg’s countrymen to take her home and that he planned to divorce her immediately. Ingeborg was not pleased. She insisted that the two were married and nothing could separate them.

Philip had his unwanted queen placed under arrest in various religious houses for the next 20 years in an attempt to get rid of her. Although she was eventually released and given the dignity of a queen, Ingeborg and Philip never again shared a bed.

6 Catherine The Great And Tsar Peter

Catherine the Great of Russia had no claim to the Russian throne. Originally a princess from a minor German noble family, she was chosen to be the bride for Peter, heir to the Russian crown, because of her father’s ties to Russia. This spectacular marriage might have been expected to please the young Catherine, but it was not to be.

Peter was cruel and weak‑minded. Catherine described him as an idiot and a good‑for‑nothing. She would later comment, “I believe the crown of Russia attracted me more than his person.”

At their wedding, though, Catherine was forced to wear a crown so heavy that it gave her a terrible headache. When the newlyweds were led to their bedchamber, the prince left her alone to undress while he retired with the other men to drink. Catherine was left alone for hours until the prince stumbled into bed drunk and nervously announced, “How it would amuse my servants to see us in bed together.” Then he fell asleep.

The marriage was not a success after this. Just six months after Peter became tsar of Russia, Catherine led a coup against him and ruled as empress of Russia in her son’s name for the next 34 years.

5 Henry III Of Navarre And Margaret Of Valois

Religious differences can cause lots of trouble in a marriage. Henry III, king of Navarre, was a Protestant, and his bride, Margaret, daughter of the French king, was a Catholic. Despite this difference, a splendid wedding was planned to take place in Paris. Thousands of Henry III’s fellow Protestants flocked to the city to enjoy the spectacle, and all seemed to be going well.

Six days after the wedding, on St. Bartholomew’s Day, a wave of killings began which targeted the Huguenot Protestants in Paris. The violence spread throughout France, and tens of thousands died. Trapped in Paris, Henry III was only saved from slaughter because of his wife. However, the massacre put a bit of a strain on their relationship.

Despite the troubles his Protestantism caused their marriage, Henry had a change of heart in later life. When the French king died without an heir, there were some who favored Henry as his successor. But his faith was against him.

Weighing his options, Henry converted to Catholicism to take the French throne as Henry IV. He quipped, “Paris is well worth a mass.” The marriage of Henry and Margaret never recovered from its early disasters, and both took other lovers.

4 Caracalla’s Proposed Wedding

The Roman Empire had long struggled with enemies in the East. The Parthians were always a threat to the rich Eastern provinces of the empire, and many emperors tried to get a handle on them. In AD 216, the emperor Caracalla decided that it was his turn to try. But the Roman people were not eager for war. To draw the Parthians into conflict, Caracalla planned a wedding.

He proposed a marriage alliance between himself and the Parthian king’s daughter. The king initially refused, not trusting Caracalla, but eventually, the king was convinced by the lavish gifts the emperor delivered.

Caracalla crossed into the Parthian Empire with his army to celebrate the nuptials. He was welcomed with music, feasting, and drinking. The Parthians left their weapons at home.

“Naturally, they did not have their quivers and bows with them. What need for weapons at a wedding?” wrote one historian of the time. At a signal, the Romans slaughtered the wedding guests, and the Parthian king narrowly escaped with his life.

Caracalla’s war was not a success. His gains were short‑lived, and he was assassinated less than a year later while urinating at the roadside.

3 Cleopatra And Alexander

One of the purposes of royalty is to put on a good show. In the ancient world, a wedding could be a way to announce your kingdom’s power and wealth. For Philip of Macedon, it was also a chance to show his snobby Greek neighbors that he was just as civilized as they were.

Macedonians were regarded as murderous barbarians by many other Greeks, especially as they had a habit of assassinating their rulers. Philip wanted to show just how much they had changed by holding a huge wedding celebration for his daughter Cleopatra and King Alexander of Epirus.

Everyone was cheering for the king when an assassin stabbed him to death. This rather ruined his attempt to show that Macedon no longer had a habit of killing its kings.

2 Prince Amadeo Of Savoy And Maria Vittoria Dal Pozzo

While many consider the disasters of the wedding between Prince Amadeo of Savoy and Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo to be apocryphal, they have also been widely reported and are too good to ignore. The troubles are supposed to have begun when Maria’s mistress of the wardrobe hanged herself just before the ceremony. Taking this as a bad omen, she had a new wedding dress quickly made to ward off bad luck.

The wedding day got off to a bad start when an officer fell from his horse with sunstroke and the gates to the palace refused to open for the couple. The prince’s best man is supposed to have accidentally shot himself in the head after the ceremony. The man in charge of the train station (from which the newlyweds were supposed to leave) fell under a train.

The prince’s father decided that enough was enough and ordered the wedding party back to the palace. During the procession home, a noble fell from his horse and under the carriage of the bride and groom where he was killed.

1 Olga Of Kiev

Olga of Kiev was wife to Igor, ruler of the Kievan Rus. All might have been quiet for Olga if the Drevlian tribe had not revolted against her husband. Igor was killed in the revolt.

“They had bent down two birch trees to the prince’s feet and tied them to his legs, then they let the trees straighten again, thus tearing the prince’s body apart,” a Byzantine historian tells us. Olga was left to act as regent for her son.

The Drevlians decided to take over by having Olga marry their own Prince Mal. Olga greeted the 20 men sent to convince her by having them burned alive. Despite this, she told Prince Mal that she accepted his marriage proposal but only if he sent many of his important nobles to escort her to the wedding.

When they arrived, she had them roasted in a bathhouse. Next, Olga went to the Drevlians’ capital city with an army and ordered a feast to mourn her dead husband before she would marry Mal. When the Drevlians were drunk, her army murdered 5,000 of them. Then she used pigeons and sparrows with burning cloths attached to burn down hundreds of homes.

After this, Olga converted to Christianity and is today considered a saint.

When it comes to preserving cultural heritage, the phrase “10 famous art” projects often evoke images of meticulous care and scientific precision. Yet, history is littered with high‑profile blunders where earnest restoration attempts turned masterpieces into cautionary legends. Below, we count down ten infamous art‑conservation catastrophes, each a vivid reminder that safeguarding the past demands both skill and humility.

10 Famous Art Disaster: The Melting Murillo (Spain, 2020)

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables has long been celebrated for its delicate rendering of the Virgin. In 2020, a Spanish furniture restorer—completely lacking formal conservation training—was hired to clean the canvas. The outcome was nothing short of a nightmare: after two botched attempts to “restore” the Virgin’s visage, the painting emerged looking like a blurry, cartoonish caricature rather than Murillo’s refined composition.

The fiasco ignited a firestorm of outrage and mockery, with many drawing parallels to the later‑mentioned Ecce Homo debacle. Experts lambasted Spain’s lax oversight of restoration projects, noting that unregulated amateurs are sometimes entrusted with priceless cultural assets. Though the piece eventually received a professional rescue, the episode starkly highlighted the perils of assigning such delicate work to the wrong hands.

9 Overwashed Sistine Chapel Ceiling (Italy, 1980s)

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, Michelangelo’s magnum opus from the early 1500s, underwent a massive cleaning campaign from 1980 to 1994. The goal: strip away centuries of grime and soot that dulled the frescoes. While the effort revived vibrant hues, critics argue it also erased subtle shadowing—Michelangelo’s signature chiaroscuro—thereby flattening the depth he originally intended.

Some historians contend that the heavy reliance on chemical solvents caused irreversible damage to portions of the fresco, compromising the original texture. The Vatican defends the project as essential preservation, yet the debate continues, underscoring how easily preservation can tip into destruction.

8 Repainting of The Last Supper (Italy, 18th Century)

Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper has suffered relentless decay over the centuries, prompting various restoration attempts. The most egregious was an 18th‑century intervention by painter Giuseppe Mazza, who tried to “fix” the fresco by painting over Leonardo’s work with oil paints instead of the traditional tempera.

Mazza’s oil overlay obscured Leonardo’s delicate brushwork and accelerated further degradation. Although later restorers removed the overpainting, the damage was irreversible, stripping away layers of genius. Modern techniques have stabilized the piece, but the loss serves as a stark warning about the consequences of misguided repainting.

7 Waxing of the Parthenon Sculptures (England, 1937)

In 1937, staff at the British Museum embarked on an aggressive cleaning of the Parthenon Marbles, employing wire brushes, abrasive tools, and even acid to strip away centuries of accumulated grime. Their intention was to reveal the sculptures’ original brilliance.

Instead, they eradicated the valuable patina that gave the marbles their historic character, leaving the surfaces permanently scarred. Historians later described the episode as a “calamity,” noting that the loss of the patina compromised the artifacts’ authenticity. The incident fuels ongoing debates over the Marbles’ ownership and the British Museum’s custodial competence.

6 Darkened Rembrandt: The Night Watch (Netherlands, 1940s)

Rembrandt’s The Night Watch fell victim to a 1940s restoration that applied a thick varnish layer in an effort to brighten the canvas. Over time, the varnish darkened, masking the painting’s intricate details and diminishing its visual impact.

Subsequent attempts to strip the varnish caused abrasions, further eroding Rembrandt’s original brushwork. The controversy sparked widespread indignation among art lovers and highlighted the hazards of invasive techniques. Today, the painting is monitored closely, with conservators employing cutting‑edge, non‑invasive methods to safeguard its integrity.

5 Frankenstein Mummy (Egypt, 19th Century)

Early Egyptologists in the 19th century experimented with various preservation methods on mummies. One notorious case involved a British Museum mummy treated with paraffin wax to stabilize its fragile linens. While the wax initially seemed to protect the specimen, it eventually caused the wrappings to deteriorate, resulting in irreversible damage.

This episode exemplifies the trial‑and‑error mindset of early conservation, where enthusiasm often outpaced scientific understanding. Modern conservators now favor non‑invasive techniques, but the mummy’s fate remains a cautionary tale about the perils of experimental preservation.

4 “Cartoonish” St. George Statue (Spain, 2018)

In 2018, a 16th‑century wooden sculpture of St. George at the Church of San Miguel de Estella was assigned to a local crafts teacher lacking restoration expertise. The resulting makeover was a garish spectacle: bright pink cheeks, a flat expression, and an anachronistic palette turned the historic saint into a cartoonish figure.

The botched job erased intricate details and layered history, provoking outrage among scholars and conservationists. Critics blamed the church and local authorities for bypassing qualified professionals, violating heritage preservation regulations. The incident sparked worldwide attention, reminiscent of the Ecce Homo fiasco, and reignited discussions about funding, education, and safeguarding cultural artifacts in smaller communities.

3 Flaking Vermeer: The Girl with the Pearl Earring (Netherlands, 1990s)

Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl with the Pearl Earring underwent a 1990s cleaning aimed at removing centuries of varnish and grime. While the process unveiled the painting’s original luminosity, it also introduced micro‑flaking, especially around the girl’s face and the iconic pearl, due to the solvents employed.

Additionally, some scholars argue the cleaning stripped away Vermeer’s delicate glaze layers, subtly altering texture and depth. Though the work remains a global icon, the episode underscores the ethical dilemma of prioritizing visual appeal over preserving the artist’s original intent.

2 “Potato Head” Jesus: Ecce Homo (Spain, 2012)

In 2012, the modest 19th‑century fresco Ecce Homo in Borja, Spain, became an internet sensation after 80‑year‑old parishioner Cecilia Giménez attempted an amateur restoration. The result was a grotesque, distorted portrayal of Christ, often likened to a “Potato Head” or “Monkey Jesus.”

While the botched effort generated worldwide mockery, it also turned Borja into a tourist hotspot, drawing visitors eager to see the infamous fresco. The incident sparked serious discourse on the dangers of allowing unqualified individuals to intervene with cultural heritage, highlighting that professional expertise is essential for preserving such works.

1 Ruined Rockefeller Picasso: Le Tricorne (USA, 2014)

Pablo Picasso’s painted stage curtain Le Tricorne suffered a catastrophic mishap in 2014 during its relocation from New York’s Four Seasons Restaurant to the New York Historical Society. The massive 20‑foot‑tall artwork was torn when movers used improper handling techniques and inadequate equipment.

The damage sparked outrage, with critics accusing the restaurant’s management and moving crew of negligence. Although repairs were attempted, certain areas remain permanently altered, diminishing the piece’s historical and cultural value. The controversy reignited debates about the responsibilities of private owners to protect public treasures and underscored the complexities of transporting large, fragile artworks.

Long before DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub, pizza chains were the pioneers of delivery service. On hot days when you had no desire to fire up the oven, or on Fridays when the hustle and bustle of the week had brought you to exhaustion, you didn’t need an app or even internet access. All it took was a phone call to have a hot pepperoni, combination, or—dare we say—Hawaiian pizza delivered straight to your door.

While the ten stories on this list are a mix of tragedy, misfortune, and a bit of humor, they all have one thing in common. They are 10 examples of pizza deliveries gone terribly wrong.

10 William Fields

Forty-five-year-old William Fields, or “Billy,” as he was better known, was well-known within the community of Connersville, Indiana, where he lived. He was also a favorite delivery driver for Pizza King, the company he worked at for almost 30 years. However, Fields could never have imagined that the seemingly routine delivery he would make on November 27, 2021, would also be his last.

As Fields approached the home and stepped onto the porch to make his delivery, the porch collapsed, leaving him unconscious and trapped by debris. Emergency responders were dispatched to the residence, and despite their best efforts to revive Fields, it was sadly too late. He was later pronounced dead at Reid-Health Connersville Hospital. While the exact circumstances surrounding what caused the porch to collapse are unknown, the authorities ruled Fields’s death an accident, and no criminal charges were filed.^[1]

9 Joshua Ungersma

Thirty-seven-year-old Joshua Ungersma of Lafayette, Indiana, was a hard-working, dedicated father. He was employed by Payless Supermarkets for over 10 years and took on a second-shift job with Domino’s, delivering pizza to support his wife and children during the pandemic. Sadly, his strong work ethic and willingness to support his family would cost him his life.

When Ungersma attempted to make a pizza delivery on August 31, 2020, to 17-year-old Jaelynn Billups and her 19-year-old boyfriend Alberto Vanmeter, things took a turn for the worst, and Ungersma was shot to death. However, when police arrived on the scene, they found both Ungersman and Vanmeter dead and Billups with a 9mm in her hands.

While Billups originally claimed the two men had shot each other, two other witnesses later testified that they saw Billups shoot Ungersman after he stated the couple had tried to rob him and asked the witnesses to call for help. Vanmeter had already been shot at this time. Billups later changed her story and stated she shot Ungersman “in the heat of the moment” after he killed her boyfriend. Billups was sentenced to 50 years in prison, and while we may never know the exact details that led up to the two men’s deaths, one fact remains—an innocent husband and father lost his life much too soon and over something as simple as a pizza order.^[2]

8 Kyle Hinkle

Eighteen-year-old Kyle Hinkle of Orange Park, Florida, was a delivery driver for Five Star Pizza and finished his scheduled delivery on the afternoon of September 5, 2015. While this seemed like any other day at work, the events that would ensue on his commute afterward are ones he will surely never forget.

After leaving the customer, Hinkle was hit by an 86-year-old man who turned directly in his path. Hinkle tried to avoid the elderly driver but was unable to, and his car was sent into flight, where he later landed on top of two other vehicles parked across the street at a Texas Roadhouse. As scary as the incident was, thankfully, neither driver was hurt.^[3]

7 Eryx Lynch

Twenty-year-old Eryx Lynch of Murray, Utah, was a shy young man who had endured a rough childhood. However, despite his circumstances, Lynch had big dreams and took a job delivering pizza for Domino’s in May of 2022 to help him pay for college. Unfortunately, he had only been on the job for one week when an error in judgment proved fatal.

On the evening of May 7, 2022, Lynch was making a delivery on his e-bike when he attempted to cross over a set of train tracks, even though the gate arm was down. As Lynch began to cross, he was struck by a train. Since Domino’s ended its “30 minutes or less” guarantee back in 1993, it is unclear what factors may have caused Lynch to take such an extreme risk. Regardless, Lynch’s sudden death will forever leave a hole in his family’s heart.^[4]

6 Cole Venables

Twenty-eight-year-old Cole Venables was a pizza delivery driver in Hopkins, Minnesota. On the evening of April 9, 2021, Venables struck and killed a pedestrian while en route to a delivery after “falling asleep” behind the wheel. However, 26-year-old Olivia DeMeuse’s death was no accident at all.

Authorities concluded that Venables was under the influence of narcotics, and he admitted to taking “Xanax, Suboxone, and benzos” prior to his shift. It was also later discovered that Venables had previous convictions of driving while impaired, so it is unclear how he was allowed to drive for the pizza chain. On February 24, 2022, Venables pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular homicide and was sentenced to a one-year term at the Hennepin County Workhouse (although he was credited 92 days for the time he previously served), as well as five years of probation.^[5]

5 Highway Pizza

We’ve all heard the slogan “It’s not delivery. It’s DiGiorno,” right? Well, in this particular case of a pizza delivery gone wrong, the headline reads, “It’s not delivery… it’s all over Interstate 30.” On August 9, 2017, a semi-truck was en route through Little Rock, Arkansas, to deliver both DiGiorno and Tombstone pizzas. Unfortunately, when the top of the semi-trailer hit the overpass, the trailer detached and was ripped open, and a wave of pizzas spewed across the interstate.

While it took transportation officials four hours to clean up the roadways, thankfully, no one, other than the pizzas, was hurt.^[6]

4 Juan Cristalinas

While 49-year-old Juan Cristalinas had an intimidating outer appearance, he was nothing other than a loving, kind-hearted husband, father, and grandfather. However, one simple act of charity on his part was met with violence.

Cristalinas held several different jobs, which included working as a mechanic as well as a pizza delivery driver for Domino’s, in order to be able to provide for his family. However, when Cristalinas didn’t return from a delivery in Stanton, California, on the evening of June 28, 2022, police were dispatched to the delivery address, where they found both Cristalinas and an unnamed elderly gentleman. Both had been shot and were taken to the hospital. Cristalinas was later pronounced dead, but the 76-year-old was in stable condition. The investigation into what occurred that tragic night is still under investigation. But it is believed that Cristalinas stopped to assist the elderly man and was shot while trying to be a good Samaritan.^[7]

3 Tara Miller

Tara Miller of Regina, Saskatchewan, had been a long-time customer of her local Domino’s, so when she got a craving for pizza on May 29, 2021, she placed an order as usual. Her pizza was delivered as expected, and Miller spent the afternoon sharing the pizza with her friends. While being surrounded by good friends and good food is invaluable, it wasn’t until her company was gone that Miller realized the true cost of that day’s meal.

Miller later checked her bank account only to discover that every cent in her account was gone. Naturally, Miller went in person to the Domino’s store in hopes of resolving the matter. However, the staff advised Miller that according to their records, the order she placed was for pick-up versus delivery. Overwhelmed and upset, Miller continued to plead her case that she had indeed placed a delivery order. It was later discovered that an unknown man had come in and picked up Miller’s order without her knowledge. He was also the same man who later delivered the pizza to her.

Fraudsters were posing as employees, and while they were delivering orders, they were also obtaining customers’ financial information when orders were paid for by either credit or debit cards upon arrival. Sadly, Miller was also not the only customer in the area to fall prey to this scam.

Thankfully, Miller’s bank reimbursed her for the fraud, and the Domino’s manager assisted in providing evidence to the police in hopes of catching the perpetrator. Given this experience, Miller will certainly never look at ordering pizza the same way again.^[8]

2 Pizza Hut Driver

An unidentified Pizza Hut delivery driver was making his last delivery of the night on January 21, 2020, when he witnessed an accident and pulled over to check on those involved. However, the driver’s honorable act would later lead him on a high-speed chase with the police.

After seeing 25-year-old Elpidio Cruz Jr and a two-year-old boy on the side of the road, the driver stopped to ensure they were okay. Around the same time, an officer arrived on the scene, and it was at that moment, rather than showing gratitude towards the delivery driver, Cruz pulled out a gun, climbed into his backseat along with the young boy, and forced the driver to flee the scene.

Cruz was on parole and was willing to do anything in his power not to go back to prison, so he demanded that the driver evade capture at any cost. The 20-minute chase ended at the home of 23-year-old Brena Riojas, who was also the little boy’s mother. Cruz again fled the scene and is still wanted by police. While the driver was not harmed, this terrifying pizza delivery is one that is sure to haunt him forever.^[9]

1 Au Naturel Pizza Customer

An unnamed female delivery driver for Domino’s was making a seemingly normal delivery to a customer on March 20, 2019. When she arrived, the gentleman was waiting outside, and his food was delivered without any issues. However, the male customer must have been intrigued by the driver as he began flirting and, later that afternoon, placed a second order.

When the same driver arrived again at the customer’s residence, the man opened the door, but this time she was met with a shocking sight—he was “almost naked.” The indecent man tried to coerce the driver inside, but she left immediately after seeing this pizza pervert.^[10]
