HuffPost
"There’s so much lore around that story," the "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" actor said about the incident in a new interview.
Winona Ryder recently opened up about her infamous shoplifting scandal from the early 2000s, explaining why it caused her to take a step back from Hollywood.
In an Esquire interview published online Thursday, the “Stranger Things” actor said that the affair “had a giant effect” on her life and career.
Ryder was arrested in 2001 for shoplifting from a California department store and later convicted of grand theft and vandalism. She was sentenced to three years of probation, fined and ordered to complete community service.
“It’s so funny, because there’s so much lore around that story, but it really couldn’t have been more of me thinking I’m going to my car to get something…” Ryder told Esquire about her arrest.
The actor, who has talked openly about the shoplifting scandal before, shared some details about her life at the time of the incident.
