Joe Budden Charged With Lewdness After Standing Naked Outside Neighbor’s Apartment
Joe Budden has reportedly been charged with lewdness after an incident in Edgewater, New Jersey where he allegedly stood naked outside a neighbor’s apartment. The resident alerted police after seeing the podcast host through his doorbell camera. In the footage, Budden allegedly attempts to enter a code on the door before eventually returning to his own apartment across the hall. Budden will appear in court to address the matter on January 16, 2025.
Edgewater Police Chief Donald A. Martin detailed the situation in a press release on Monday, emphasizing that these are still just allegations. “These charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Martin wrote.
