Personal life[edit]
Legal issues[edit]
On October 17, 2011, at 3:43 a.m., Musso was pulled over in Burbank, California, failed to slow down for traffic cops, and charged with a DUI suspicion. He was approached by the police who then smelled alcohol and proceeded to give him a field sobriety test and breathalyzer. Musso, aged 20, was under the legal drinking age and blew above the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content. His bail was set at $5,000, but he was released on account of no outstanding warrants.[16] Musso told E! Online, that, "In becoming an adult, I have learned first hand that stepping up and taking responsibility is the best way to move forward. I am especially thankful to my family and fans for their unwavering support and encouragement. I am glad to now put this in the past."[17] This incident is what caused his character to be written out of Pair of Kings and the show PrankStars to be cancelled.[18]
On August 26, 2023, Musso was reportedly acting belligerent after being asked to pay for a bag of chips he had taken from a hotel food market without paying. After police arrived outside the hotel, Musso was visibly intoxicated. It was discovered that Musso allegedly had multiple outstanding warrants, and was subsequently taken into police custody in Rockwall, Texas. Musso faced charges of "public intoxication, theft (under $100), expired registration, failure to display a driver's license, and violating a promise to appear notice."[19] He was released on a $1,000 bond. In November 2023, the charges were dismissed.[20]
Other activities[edit]
In 2018, Musso appeared at Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit with Sarah Palin and Candace Owens.[21][22]
