The untold story in all of these cases are those actors or actresses who actually confronted harassers and were never heard from again or go from big movies to supporting TV roles. There is a reason even established actors don't blow the whistle.

 

The pedophilia allegations put a new light on the many child actor stars who went on to suffer serious addiction/mental health issues. Traditionally, the story has been that they "couldn't handle fame and fortune," but it's becoming apparent that many of them probably experienced issues related to sexual predators.

 

I was just talking to some friends out there about this stuff—they are in the industry—and they said this is just the beginning and some seriously dank shit is about to surface, or it should. The whole "fame and fortune" excuse for the clearly damaged behaviour of former child actors is about to look really dumb, like some serious cultural blindness in retrospect. I mean, everyone knew that the casting couch phenomenon applied to women, unfortunately, but I don't think we realized that it might also apply to kids and probably did apply to them all too often.

 

...and having parents that did not protect them.

 

I saw Matt Lauer interview Corey Feldman last week on "Today," and Lauer was oddly confrontational with Feldman about his claims of almost rampant pedophilia in Hollywood. In my opinion, Lauer came across really badly in that interview and sort of creepy.

 

Not only didn't protect them, but actively put them in harm's way.

 

Does this surprise anyone? I still can't believe NPR associates with him. Maybe this will be enough to push them away.

Harvey Weinstein’s Army of Spies

"Two private investigators from Black Cube, using false identities, met with the actress Rose McGowan, who eventually publicly accused Weinstein of rape, to extract information from her. One of the investigators pretended to be a women’s-rights advocate and secretly recorded at least four meetings with McGowan. The same operative, using a different false identity and implying that she had an allegation against Weinstein, met twice with a journalist to find out which women were talking to the press. In other cases, journalists directed by Weinstein or the private investigators interviewed women and reported back the details."

 

I'm thinking the Texas shooting will put an end to the sex harassment stories. They will still come out, but our nation seems to only have the attention span of having one WORST PERSON(s) IN THE WORLD at a time. But worth noting that the texas shooter was also an abuser of women.

 

Have you been paying attention to what’s gone on today?
