Tom Hanks’ Son Drags Dad Through More Hell

Now, the plaintiff is coming forward to blame Chet's parents for allowing their son to drive their car, “despite knowing that Chester Hanks was careless and reckless driver and a habitual user of drugs and alcohol,” said the documents obtained by E!.

Since reports claim police were no where to be found at the scene of the accident, it’s no surprise Tom’s son skipped out on getting a DUI nailed to his record.

Star previously reported that Tom’s son has faced a troubling last year — destroying a hotel room in England, bizarre social media videos, a rehab visit for drug addiction and a wild nightclub brawl in L.A.

Even worse, Chet mysteriously vanished last summer, leaving his friends and family to fear the worst. Before his disappearance, Chet posted a freaky video to his Instagram account, in which he supplied both sides of a conversation while riding in a car in late July.

When Chet fell off the radar, Tom and Rita “both agreed that they didn’t want to file an official missing persons report with the police, that it would be better to try and keep the development out of the press,” a source previously told Star.

“Tom obviously has a lot of contacts in the security industry, and through them, he hired a group of ‘outside parties’ to handle the situation,” added the insider. Given his longtime struggles with cocaine and alcohol addiction, the source told Star there were “legitimate fears for his well-being.”

Then, in October last year, the scandal-ridden son reappeared on Instagram in the early morning hours with a series of 11 videos, the first one beginning with: “Hey I just want to say, I know, like, my name’s been in the media about me like, going missing or getting kidnapped or something… I’ve been in rehab,” Chet said. “I’ve been trying to get my sh*t together and I’m doing pretty damn good, you know what I’m saying?”

He admitted that he was seeking help at “Alcoholics Anonymous” and “Narcotics Anonymous” after his brush with death. “A couple of months ago I was selling coke [and] doing coke until I couldn’t even snort it up my nose anymore because it was so clogged. I even smoked crack,” Chet said in one of the videos.
