Today's Blind Items - The Nightmare
Over the past six years I have told you some awful stories of people. There have been plenty of good people too. This story though is about someone who probably suffered the most as a child star and still managed to come out on top, although very emotionally scarred. This actress used to be a nice solid B list actress. She does not act very much anymore. Some movies and some cameos, but for the most part she does not do much. She has some other activities which keep her busy and which she has also made a name for herself. Back in the day she was a child actress. Cute and funny and growing up in a time of actors on set where rules were not really followed and behavior could be abhorrent. Despite being just an early teen, our actress was forced to have sex or coerced to have sex with men twice or sometimes three times her age. This was not a one time thing, but a daily thing she had to endure if she wanted to be an actress. Her parents told her to toughen up and that there was nothing wrong with it. Well, she did not have the best parents in the world. From the very first day she walked onto a film set, she was groped and teased. There was one older actor she thought she was safe from, but after their third day filming he had her in his dressing room, undressing for him while he pleasured himself. She had to do this at least once a week. There was her co-star who was almost the same age who told her he would get her fired unless they had sex. He also made her try some drugs. This was all like at 12 and 13. Crazy. On one show she was on she was repeatedly molested by a man who later was accused of raping one of his neighbor's children. Apparently since he thought he could get away with it on sets, he also thought the same rules applied in the real world. All you have to do is mention this guy's name or character name to the actress and she will start crying. All of this has affected every day of her life since. It all makes sense what she does now when you think of what happened to her back then.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 207 of 207I wondered if it was Kim Richards too. The "other things to keep her busy" would be her Real Housewife gig?
I have the impression she had a lot of head trips put on her by her mother and stepfather.
it mentions 'one show'..as though she was in a few..I dont know that Drew did much tv and she was a big name and had power to say no,even then..I dont think Lindsay did tv much either? I was thinking Shannon Doherty who did a few shows at young age..and maybe why she became so miserable when she got older??
I also think there was another actor or 2 besides Jeffrey Jones who has been arrested or accused of such things. Cant think right now who? but seems like someone rather similar.
This reminds me of the recently revealed blind where the crew went totally out of their way to protect the then teenage JLH from the pedo star of the show who was after her. As much of the disgusting things we have heard about here lately, I like to think that most tv/movie set crew do the same thing if a similar situation were to arise. There is no way I could stand silently by. It would probably lead to firing to snitch on the actor, but you can certainly run interference to keep the child as safe as possible.
While the continuance of this type of blind is off-putting, it has definitely opened my eyes.
Perhaps the abundance is to inform of how bad it really is. Hollywood is the very reason our culture has become so sexualized. F*** Hollywood.
Tru Leigh, "kiddie porn' IS rape- as is most pornography.
Definitely, definitely Kim Richards. This would explain a lot.
