Hollywood in general is a place based on fakery, manipulation, lies and abuse, and while they may have managed to cover it up to some degree in the past, increasingly we are seeing people coming forward with disturbing exposes on what goes on there Their *job* is fabrication, it's literally why it exists. They manufacture fantasy and a person's ability to stay employed is directly dependent on their ability to pretend to be someone else, aka act, and as we've been seeing more and more, their willingness to submit to the inappropriate, perverted, degraded and wholly criminal yet overlooked demands of individuals with the power to get them where they think they want to be. It's a dark place and seeing what comes out of there recently seems to be almost openly admitting to its iniquity and saying 'we don't need to hide anymore' For every 'successful moviestar', there's 99 failed ones, still clinging on to that unrealistic dream of stardom because they're living in fantasyland in their head and unwilling to accept reality. If this business chews up and spits out grown adults onto the streets homeless without the slightest care or hint of remorse, imagine what it does to children Child actors should not be a thing and no parent should be allowed to essentially pimp their child out, especially when there is no vetting of any kind as to whether they have the capacity, or intention, of handling their child's career and earnings properly. Too many kids have had their parents steal the money they made and mismanage their careers leaving them broke and way beyond the point of no return for a career. It's a travesty, disgusting, and everyone knows that, yet it's still allowed to just keep on happening for some reason. People with moral and ethical integrity need to speak out more against this morally bankrupt and corrupt industry.

@@J3diMindTrix Well stated and true. Bravo! The bottom line is regardless of the industry when a child/family member becomes the source of financial support for others greed takes over. The "star" is literally prostituted. Talented people become slaves. When they become overworked and overwhelmed the leeches (family included) prop them up with drugs. It is a pattern we see over and over. When parents step in to manage a career they are motivated by greed. They don't have the mental acuity to handle the intricacies of money management. They get bamboozled by accountants, money managers, agents, and a variety of industry insiders who lead them to believe they're in charge. In truth, they are not. Parents, along with their golden goose, are being played for patsies. They only wake up when the IRS notifies them of back-owed taxes. When that happens all "handlers" have disappeared. When the next dreamer appears the "machine" goes to work and in the end, we see broken, disheartened, drug-addicted people who have been used, abused, and toss like everyday garbage. From Judy Garland to Michael Jackson to Whitney Houston to Brittany Spears and other current-day notables the same fate awaits. They are utterly and completely destroyed. Prince and MJ spoke publicly of their predicaments and both succumbed to their manufactured addictions.

True Story: Had a layover in Peoria, Il in the late 90's. My friend and I by happenstance met Dustin Diamond outside a stripclub (Big Al's). We had a conversation with him for 5 min. We triggered him by asking y he was waiting in line like everyone else and he explained (very nicely btw) that he was exploited and signed a bad kid contract that paid him pennies on the dollar for royalties.

Child exploitation and mismanagement should become against the law.

As a kid I envied the kids who were famous in TV shows and movies, as they seemed to be on top of the world and living the dream. But I am so glad now that I'm a relative nobody, knowing now how many of these poor souls were cruelly exploited and then chewed up and spat out by the creeps and moguls of the entertainment industry. Some have managed to crawl out of this wicked world after so much hardship and get back on their feet, and to me will always be an inspiration in survival. Should ever we feel sorry for ourselves at the cards life has dealt us, we only need to look at these people and those who have had pretty rough ride in life, to put our trials into a more balanced perspective.

So many of these stars were screwed over by the people who were supposed to take care of them. Their parents spend all their money and leave them with the bills and the stress and bankruptcy. If it's not the parents it's the agents accountants or managers. It's unforgivable when the parents screw over their kids that way

i hope we realize that **making** kids do anything will result in broken people soon

I'm a 90's kid, grew up on classic rock, and grew up with ever changing technology. If you put me in a house party with strangers, I will spout random media/sports/celebrity knowledge to try and hide my awkwardness. Honestly, I don't know how I store all that information up there in my noggin. What I'm saying is, it's partially our own fault in these child/teenage stars downfalls. We idolize them, attack them, push them for greater songs/ movies. It's a love / hate relationship I have with myself. Of course I can blame myself for loving what I see on the screen, but more than that is their managers and family. Who have pushed them harder than we could ever be as adorning fans. They push them to exhaustion, to drugs, to alcohol, to suicide, and more. It's a whole sad circle. I just hate to see them grow up in such pain.

Great video! Just some additional info: Joey Lawrence “landed his breakthrough role in 1983 when he was cast to play Joey Donovan in the popular American sitcom 'Gimme a Break!' He played the role from 1983 to ...”. Sorry, I didn’t open the link. The show starred Nell Carter and her beautiful but underused singing voice (I think there was something in her contract limiting how much she could sing, maybe because she was focusing on her comedic acting for this project?). I’m pretty sure that success led to Joey landing his role in Blossom, as he and his little brother were very well known for their extreme cuteness (aka bowl cuts + perkiness). Joey was just aging out of the kiddy talent pool, and the new role coincided perfectly with his tween idol persona that ‘evolved’ just in time to be perfect for the part he found… in his hair. Yep, I’m old now. I get to do all the dad jokes I want. 😄

I feel bad for all these kids. Obviously, their parents didn’t give a shit about them - only the money that they could earn. Had their parents been more concerned, most of these kids would be well off. So sad. Parents, please don’t put your young kids in show biz - it rarely works out well.

It should be in the contract now - 1/2 the warning go into a savings or something the parents cannot touch - until they are 25. This should be stopped. No parents should steal from their kids.

California has a law called Coogan's Law, based after Jackie Coogan (yes, the Addams Family, Jackie Coogan) after his parents spent all his money that says that a child's salary must be put into a trust fund until he or she turns 18. You would think that other states would adopt that law and put it into their own constitution.

@RaymondHng

2 жыл бұрын

The current version of the law is codified in sections 6750-53 of the California Family Code and section 1700.37 of the California Labor Code, not the state's constitution. This law requires a child actor's employer to set aside 15% of the earnings in a trust (often called a Coogan Account), and codifies issues such as schooling, work hours, and time off. At present, Coogan Accounts (a.k.a Blocked Trust Accounts and Trust Accounts) are required by the State of California, New York, Illinois, Louisiana and New Mexico.

I saw a reality documentary on n which Aames participated in in which he had to sell off just about everything he owned, tried a number of jobs/potential careers before ironically becoming a successful financial planner in the Midwest with the help and support of good people, then was able to re-connect with his family, God Bless him.

Joey Lawrence's Chapter 7 bankruptcy case was settled a year later. The IRS was paid $31,000 out of $67,000 owed, while the State of California Franchise Tax Board was only paid half of a $14,000 claim. Ford Motor Company received $0 despite filing claims totaling $42,000 and BMW did not see a dime of the $50k owed to them. Capital One got nothing over a $30,000 claim and American Express got screwed out of $47,000 the actor owed them. The other creditors who did not see a dime included a Daimler Trust (owed $130k) and Woodside Credit (owed $76k).

Everybody got what they were owed, just not from Joey. They got it all from The rest of us.

It’s easy for everyone to say they would be much smarter but if you haven’t gone through what these people have you can’t relate. Imagine being a young star making millions with no real guidance, anything you want is a phone call from drugs to a private plane then as u get older work starts to dry up but you keep spending because you were on top of the world so you think that the work will come because again nobody gave you real guidance and told you to save ur money because one day the work might be gone. It’s gotta be a super hard thing to deal with.

Bibleman LMFAO 😂 LOLOLOLOLOL

Greed costs a lot of money

Let's be honest ....all most all of these former "stars" have one thing in common- a Blame Game. Grow up, take some personal responsibility and act like an Adult!!

It's nice to noted at a young age, but spending what your receiving is most important. Very show TV shows seem to live forever & u cannot buy Windsor Castle & still cannot live "The Life Of Riley forever." & 2B in debt with the IRS is the worst, ask Al Capone.

None of these or any other young actors or even young professional athletes are bad people. They had a lot of money thrust upon them with no idea how to manage it and also no realization that the money was going to come and then go in few years. When you're 17, 18 or 19 you don't have the foresight to see something coming to an end. If properly invested instead of spent they would have been set for life with a comfortable living, you know, the one most of us regular people live. But without ever having to work again. Instead it is lavish parties, mansions, expensive cars and clothes and then bankruptcy when it all ends.
