Blind Items Revealed #24 - Old Hollywood

May 23, 2018

Almost a hundred years ago now there was an A list model who graced the pages of magazines that still exist today. Much like some of the offspring models you see today, this model had a great deal of her success based on the fact she was wealthy and moved in the same circles as the publishers and bought the clothes that were advertised.

Our model was married. Marriage was probably not the right thing for her or her husband because they spent more time sleeping with other people than they did each other. At some point, they did manage to produce a son. Not just any son, but a son even more mentally ill than his parents.

The son went away to school and our model mother heard her son was involved with another man. Now, our model believed in having as much heterosexual sex as a human could have but was a firm believer that homosexual sex was deviant sex and believed a person could be cured. Her son was summoned home from school and the model would hire escorts for her son every day in an attempt to cure him. When none of them seemed to be able to do so, our model took matters in her own hands because I guess she though incest was better than homosexual sex???

      This type of abuse on adult children is not a rarity.

  5. The story was made into a strange movie with Julieanne Moore playing the mother. Eddie Redmayne played the son. Gave me the creeps. How could it not?
