It’s definitely a positive thing that all these sexual predators in Hollywood are getting outed, but I hope we’re also prepared to make the connection between these allegations and exactly why so many former child stars end up dead or institutionalised before they turn 30. These are not unconnected phenomena. Like, I realise the whole “former child star meltdown” meme is a comedy goldmine, but maybe some awareness of what we’re really laughing at?
Remember when Amanda Bynes had her break down, and among other things, accused her parents of abuse, and claimed to have been treated like a prostitute? Remember when her parents said that she was just crazy and needed meds, and we all just believed them?
