Joe Budden Cleared of Lewdness Charges
Joe Budden has been acquitted of lewdness and stalking charges after a December 2024 incident where he was recorded naked trying to enter his neighbor's apartment in Edgewater, New Jersey. During his podcast, Budden shared that the judge found his actions, as seen on Ring camera footage, did not constitute lewdness or stalking, stating, 'Mr. Budden was not erect. He was not masturbating.' The judge noted that Budden's behavior appeared to stem from sleepwalking rather than any sexual intent, advising him to take precautions to prevent future incidents. Budden expressed gratitude for the judge's fairness and was relieved by the outcome, which allows him to move forward without legal troubles. The incident gained media attention after the charges were announced on New Year's Eve, with Budden facing ridicule on social media during his absence from the podcast. He has since returned to his show, humorously addressing the situation with his co-hosts.
