For those who are new to this forum, here's a list of all OP's indiscretions, misdemeanours, confrontations etc. that have been published over the years. It's interesting to note the escalation from the 2012 Olympics onwards.
Oscar is a Danger to Society
2002 At 15 he was allowed to drive Carls car illegally around Pretoria
circa 2003 Rumours reached some teachers that he had a violent temper that sometimes he flipped, as one of them put it and that he threatened the younger boys
May 2004 Bought his first car when he was 17, too young for a drivers licence
Feb 14, 2006 Nodded off at the wheel after setting off for Vicky Miles house, 400 miles from his, at 3am after they had a blistering row. One side of his vehicle was completely destroyed.
2008 Oscars ex-stylist, Francois Louw, witnessed a terrifying temper tantrum whilst they worked together to create a fragrance. When there was an issue when delivering the finished products, Oscar screamed, swore, kicked the garage door, went inside and screamed even louder, swearing constantly. He also threatened Louws family.
July 2008 Just before the Beijing Olympics he swore at a South African reporter for quoting an athletics coach who said Oscar wasnt yet ready to run a relay. I never realised the f and p words could be used in so many different ways in such quick succession, the journalist said.
Prior to Sept 6, 2008 At the pre-games training camp for the Beijing Paralympics he phoned David OSullivan and raged about what he perceived to be an inadequate training kit. His fury caught OSullivan by surprise. Oscar knew he couldnt be ignored and his anger would ensure his demands were met. He wanted to go on the air and complain, said OSullivan, who put him on his radio show.
Sept 12, 2009 Cassidy Taylor-Memmory charged Oscar with assault when he punched a door so hard that a piece broke and fell on her leg following an argument with his then girlfriend, Melissa Rom.
Feb 21, 2009 Crashed his boat into a relatively new pier on the Vaal River which shattered his face and nearly cost him his life. He lied when he said that 1) the pier was submerged; 2) it happened at sunset (it was after 10pm); and 3) he hadnt been drinking. (He was seen drinking in a river pub and 3 empty bottles of liquor were found on his boat. He was never breath tested).
Feb 21, 2009 A further individual had an altercation with Oscar on the river that same evening which occurred long after sunset but before the boating accident took place.
Sept 6, 2011 Stormed out of a BBC radio interview after taking exception to a question about his fight to take part in non-disabled athletics.
Oct 2011 At a Kings of Leon concert he was very drunk and stumbled into a group of people. Later, two women were practically shoved off their feet by an aggressive Oscar. One told him his behaviour was rude and unacceptable. He was extremely abusive to the two women, calling them *advertiser censored**ing lesbians. One of the women said What is your problem? to which he replied, Im drunk, whats yours?
May 2012 Mothers had to remove their children from the gym because of his continual swearing. He was known to rant and rave as he struggled to complete the simplest of routines, would stalk out in a fury, returning only when his anger had expired.
June/July, 2012 Attended a shooting range with friends, including Francois Hougaard, and fired at a watermelon which exploded. He said, Its a lot softer than brain, but *advertiser censored**, it feels like a zombie stopper.
July/Aug 2012 Temper tantrum at the London Paralympics when he lost a race to Brazilian, Alan Oliveira whom he wrongly accused of using illegal blades. Following his outburst on the track, he was taken to an underground room where he went on a 2 hour rampage, shouting, screaming, crying, hitting tables, kicking walls and throwing furniture around. Each time Paralympic chiefs went into the room to try and calm him down, they saw a fresh escalation of his hysterical reaction. Oliviera said, "He saw me at the Olympic village and refused to talk to me. He told the media that he apologised to me but that never happened. He apologised to the media but never to me."
July/Aug 2012 Room-mate, Arnu Fourie changed rooms to get away from Oscars constant screaming on the phone.

Guests said he was drunk, knocking back one drink after the other, including tequila shots. He hit on Kesiah Frank, a beautiful blonde model who holds a law degree. He asked her to dance and flirted with her repeatedly until she made it clear she was not interested.
Apr 6, 2013 Oscar was out partying with friends at the Kitchen Bar restaurant, throwing back shooters, and patted a friends girlfriend on the bottom. Patrons were shocked and thought it horribly insensitive to go out for drinks with friends so soon after Reeva's death.
