Ryan Seacrest Beard Admits Being Abused as Child

Just in time to promote her upcoming movie involving sexual abuse, Julianne Hough bravely shares a deep dark secret in her own life to Cosmopolitan magazine. She was abused mentally, emotionally and "everything" when she was a 10 year old protege of the Ballas dance family in London. However, she wouldn't reveal who the perpetrator was. Was it 12 year old Derek? 12 year old Mark? The strange father Corky? God forbid it was the mother. Hmmm.

• Bruno Tonioli!

• The grandfather (George Ballas) invented the Weed Whacker. (True story!) That's suspicious right there!

• I just KNEW there was something wrong with ALL those Ballas men...

• Is she still a virgin?

  Ryan%20S.

• Who?

• I believe her, because there was something up with that. She didn't like Mama Balas, at all, but I think it was 12 year old Mark, even though she dated him. I don't know Mark gives me a creepy vibe.

• Derek cut or uncut?

• I believe it. I always wondered if her father abused her. Her story just always seemed weird to me.

• She's a (fame) whore, darlin'. Dating a closeted gay queen who just happens to be becoming one of America's medial moguls. Julianne will literally do anything for fame and fortune. WHORE. Same goes for her skeevy brother.

• Saw the trailer for her next and I'm sorry it looks terrible and she will never be a movie star. She has about another bomb in her until she's back to choreography.

• [quote]Saw the trailer for her next and I'm sorry it looks terrible and she will never be a movie star. She has about another bomb in her until she's back to choreography. She's an AWFUL actress. I wonder how much Ryan has to bribe casting people to put her in their films. No way would she be getting these roles if she wasn't "dating" him.

• I thought Mark liked boys?

  Derek

• In turn, i hope she abuses Seacrest. He fuckin' deserves it.

• She's talking the wicked stepmother Shirley Ballas. They think this is going to stir up attention for her in her latest godawful movie because the character in her movie is abused. Seacrest/Kardashians and I guess Cowell's involved = a blight on the country. Maybe this is why Derek was crying on the last episode of DWTS. Ha! Oh and Mark's a pussyhound, so's his dad Corky - it's Derek who's the closeted shiny-pants Mormon.

• Could somebody explain how the fuck this girl keeps popping up? She's got more TV lives than Carney Wilson. She was on a white trash dance show. Then she tried movie acting, and it failed. Then she pretended to be a country music star. It failed. NOW she's in another MOVIE/TV show?!? HOW?!?

• Uh, if you actually bother to read the article it's clear that the abuser wasn't her father or a 12-year-old boy. It was obviously an adult with power over her. It happened when she was in London and she went to London without her parents so it couldn't have her dad.

• I didn't realizes how pedestrian looking she is until the this awful movie trailer. She is cute but not big screen material.

• Most Awesome Typo Ever.

• Well it's lucky she's dating a sexless hunk of cheese then. This is working out very well for her.

• What always fascinates me about the likes of her and Seacrest is; just how organised is it all? Is there literally a paper contract somewhere? Are other people running it all for them? (PR peeps I mean.) Which ones are the really running it lol it's just so fuckin' DUMB! For chriss'sakes just be honest, few str8s truly give a shit if you're gay or not, if you're worried about advertisers FIND YOUR OWN advertisers. If your're worried about getting work 'cos you're gay MAKE YOUR OWN WORK. Excuse me gentlemen I'm in a slightly pissy mood :-) Closet types in entertainment bug me!

• Should I be aware of the woman in question or the Ballas family?

• She really sucked hard in ROCK OF AGES.

• At first glance I thought this thread was about Seacrest himself, and I was going to chime in to say I'm wasn't surprised a bit.

• or even that I wasn't surprised

• It wouldn't surprise me at all if Seacrest too was abused at some point in his youth--maybe why he became an obese teen. Seacrest and Hough are starting to make sense as a couple.

• *yawn*

• ...and that's exactly why she is with a harmless man now! THere is no sexual threat from Ryan Cheesefest

  I%20rest%20my%20case

• When will the contestants for the next season of Dancing with the Stars be announced?

• She must have something to blackmail someone with. There's no other explanation for her suddenly being pushed as the go to girl for dance movies/musicals: Footloose, Rock of Ages, bit part in Burlesque. All flops.

• So when will Mark step forward to defend himself and parents against the obvious abuse allegations Julianne lobbed at them in her infamous interview? And when will Julianne start the backpedaling?

• I just don't get why someone desperatly wants to make her happen? Is it in her contract with Seacrest that he work to get her as many parts as possible. Her presense feels so forced.

• God this is so tissue paper thin even my 87 year old grandmother can see through it. I hope she fades into oblivion and takes Gaycrest and the Kartrashians with her!

• I hope this all backfires for the little opportunist. Her poor acting skills will render the new movie DOA, her playing the abuse card against the Ballas family will end her using DWTS to promote a new venture again, and Ryan will run for the Hollywood Hills when he realizes he has such an unpopular loser for a beard.

If your're worried about getting work 'cos you're gay MAKE YOUR OWN WORK. Seacrest learned from his mentor / top daddy aka MERV GRIFFIN, that no matter how flaming you are in the bedroom, you always have to play it straight in the public eye, if you want to be successful in Hollywood. Ryan Seacrest would be not have been able to come as far as he has, if he came out. He's playing it like a good little closet case, and behaving for the media. He now has a radio show, American Idol, he's Dick Clark's Successor, he does the red carpet for E!, he has his own production company, and he's making millions and millions of dollars each year - all because he stayed in the closet, and dances like a little monkey, for TPTB. He'll never come out publicly, or even privately, for that matter.

• Can't believe that bearding for Seacrest can get her so many roles and publicity! Seacrest must be the most powerful man in Hollywood.

• R34, and he is being touted as a successor to Matt Lauer on The Today Show, and he has a deal with NBC/Universal to handle a significant position in their Olympics coverage.

• Julianne Hough cutting her hair really short was a huge mistake. She looked a million times better with her really long hair. I'm surprised Ryan Seacrest would allow her to go public with her abuse story since it casts doubt on Ryan Seacrest's heterosexuality. Julianne Hough dated country singer Chuck Wick (or Wicks) for a year before dating Seacrest - and it appears that Chuck Wick could be gay, although very much unconfirmed.

• Here's why Ryan Seacrest will never come out. Read it and weep... [bold]Here's How Ryan Seacrest Is Seriously Expanding His Production Empire[/bold] [italic]Ryan Seacrest Productions (RSP) is looking to make waves with recent hirings in executive ranks. According to The Hollywood Reporter, among those hired to Seacrest's team include producer Nina Wass, who will serve as executive vp scripted programming, former senior VP of creative affairs at Reveille/Shine Heather Schuster as senior vp, and former programming vp at OWN Joseph Ferraro who will be vp of development. Also on board are brothers Dan and Ben Newmark, previously with FremantleMedia. RSP's big hires come after two major investments in Seacrest's production company. Both Thomas H. Lee Partners (THL) and Bain Capital committed as much as $300 million to RSP for future media ventures in January. In addition, RSP CEO Adam Sher told The Hollywood Reporter about another investment from Clear Channel radio that helped expand the company. "We had an infusion of capital from Clear Channel into the production company, and we've set our sights on working with our various partners to seize on some exciting new opportunities in the entertainment landscape," said Sher. "We're investing in talent across the company to help us achieve this goal." Currently, RSP has rights to shows across E!, Bravo, ABC Family, and CBS including the Kardashians, The Nanny Diaries, and future game show, Draw Something. Seacrest says his goal is to "also have a balanced slate of reality and scripted shows across major broadcast and cable networks." RSP was most recently in the running to acquire Dick Clark Productions.[/italic] People have no idea that Ryan Seacrest is quietly becoming one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood.

• Oh yeah? Well fuck that guy!

• "Her poor acting skills will render the new movie DOA, her playing the abuse card against the Ballas family will end her using DWTS to promote a new venture again" Did I miss something? She never named her abuser. "It wouldn't surprise me at all if Seacrest too was abused at some point in his youth--maybe why he became an obese teen." Too bad child abuse has nothing to do with obesity. He was obese because he liked to eat. Nice to see people throwing around abuse accusations where none are warranted. Dataloungers are obsessed with child abuse for some reason - they think every celebrity was abused and that everything is "proof" that someone was abused, even something as commonplace as childhood obese. Rates of obesity went up as rates of child sexual abuse went down.

• Is there anything more pathetic than being molested by a man named Corky?

• Without her using the Ballas's by name, just about anyone would conclude the most likely suspect in abusing a 10 year old girl would be someone with whom she is living. Her parents weren't even around!

• We all have been abused somehow, some way, at some level, at some point. I am sick and tired of listening to this poor me shit!

  Lana%20Kane

• "I am sick and tired of listening to this poor me shit!" So are the Ballas's, who are doing damage control in the press as I write.

  Can%20of%20Worms

• And it was downhill ever since.

• She and Ryan are such a great couple. When are they going to marry and have kids, he's forty now.

• As soon as George Clooney gets married, R46.

• I believe he has a couple of years until 40, actually.

• So Ryan Seacrest was abused as a child. What, now he is abusing the rest of America by his overworked presence in American Culture. I find his annoying uberhyper personality objectionable and I wish he would stop.

  M. Griffin

• [quote]So Ryan Seacrest was abused as a child. Not Ryan, his fabulous lover, the future Oscar winning Julianne Hough.

• It wouldn't surprise me if Ryan was abused as a child. If not sexually, most likely bullied by kids who make fun of fat kids who aren't tough.
