Which celebrities do you think were molested when they were children?

Harry Styles

Justin Bieber

Nick Carter

Aaron Carter

They all tried it with me! Steven Spielberg, Elliott Gould, and Robert Blake all tried to get their hands on me. Even Dorothy Lyman in the dressing room at a Casual Corner. I've got feets though and they can move.

Corey Feldman Corey Haim Macaulay Culkin

I was molested!

Marilyn Monroe

Julie Andrews said her stepfather tried to molest her when she was two.

seriously people

I also thought he tried it a lot later, too, R6.

Miley

Britney

Britney sister was knocked up by Nickelodean exec at 15

Every kid performer who ever worked at Nickelodeon has probably had to spread hole for Dan Schneider's tinymeat. Amanda Bynes probably got it worst of all, considering her career trajectory there.

Todd Bridges talks about being molested by a manager at age 12 in his book [italic]Killing Willis[/italic].

Billy Currington has said he was physically abused in his childhood by his evil stepfather. That abuse lead to his temper problems that required not one but 2 stays in a rehab center

I think that his abuse goes deeper R11. He is also unmarried. Rarely speaks in public. Plead no contest to that sort of an assault with that old man that brought his boat to close to his dock. He is kind of a mess.

Alison Argrim was molested by her brother until the age of 8. Patty Duke was molested by her managers. They both put that in their autobiographies. I suspect the following were molested: Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Danny Pintauro, Jonathan Brandis, Dana Plato, Jamie Foxworth, Scotty Schwartz, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears. That's just based on the ones who became troubled adults.

Some who've talked about it:

Russell Brand

Billy Connolly (by his father)

John Peel (by an older boy at boarding school)

Axl Rose (according to "recovered memory", for what it's worth)

Nancy Reagan, but not enough

R13: what makes you say Jonathan Taylor Thomas turned out troubled? Seems he went right from "Home Improvement" to school, and hasn't pursued a lot of roles as an adult. I don't see any mention of a wife, and he turned out a vegetarian, but that's not exactly a clue.

R13: Based on that, you can also throw Jerry Supiran into the mix. Everything I read about him suggested PTSD. Erin Moran, too. In fact, I'm starting to think all of show business is just a front for child molesters and mobsters.

Roseanne Barr

Hugh Jackman

Shia Lebeouf

Lindsey Lohan

I'm serious. The entertainment industry is just like the Catholic Church. It's a place where deviant child molesters can gather together in community and acceptance and perfect their predatory skills. You would be shocked to the core at the child abuse and how it's an accepted, actually expected, way of life.

Well, shock us then, r19.

Anna Nicole

Halle Berry

Renee Z.

Nicole Kidman

Lindsay Lohan-

Basically all who can't eatablish or maintain a healthy relationship..Male or female

Hayden Penentiarre

Pam Anderson

Paris and Nicky Hilton

Possibly all of the Kardashians,including Rob.. Maybe by twisted sister Bruce..

Brandi Glanville

Basically anyone who lacks morals and out of control substance abuse seem to be symptoms of having a broken inner child.

Joaquin Phoenix more than likely.

Demi Moore

Courtny Love.

Angelina Jolie

This is odd to me as it sounds like you're blaming the victim for acting out as teens or adults.

I don't believe Charlie Sheen was any victim but simply a victimizer. (Corey Haim and others.)

Lindsay Lohan and Drew Barrymore did not initiate all the shit that happened to them as kids. But it fucked them up irremediably. Drew survived better.

The ultimate victim for me was Brad Renfro, about 10 years old, when it started I'll throw Corey Haim in there, too.

I'm not discounting the molested girls but, in Hollywood, there's an expectation that girls will be better supervised. Even today, young boys are thrown into situations they're not prepared for.

How about Henry Cavill? He was plucked out of school to work for a director, who kept hiring him for roles. We all know Henry isn't that good of an actor.

Animation is so full of kiddie fiddlers it's not even funny:

Tatum O'Neal

Why in the hell is Anderson on this list? Has he said he was molested?

Reece

A lot of these are fantasy lists for some very dirty birdies.

[quote] A lot of these are fantasy lists for some very dirty birdies.

At least it explains how Danny Pintauro can stretch his asshole as far as he did in that Grindr pic.

I read right here on DL that Louis B. Mayer made a move on both Judy Garland and Shirley Temple. Any truth to that rumor?

Mandy Peterson?

If there is a box of old calendars in Don Bluth's basement with crossed-out dates that end on June 19, 1983—the day I turned 18—I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

[quote]Justin Bieber

He certainly seems to have an odd relationship with his Dad.

Justin Bieber & Daddy:

Another of Justin Bieber & Daddy:

Cheryl Crane

I'd believe Mayer hit on Judy, but Shirley's mother was ALWAYS with her, plus she worked mainly at studios other than MGM.

40 replies and no mention of me???

This is the first thread I have to put on Ignore.

Amanda Bynes

With R19 here. It's rampant to a degree you wouldn't imagine.

As for who has or hasn't been a victim of this predatory environment, it's a pretty sick guessing game to play.

Better try and find out who are the perpetrators. Most likely those who are raking in the money as well. Gotta hit them where it hurts, I guess.

That said, Shia LeBeouf looks a lot lik Steven Spielberg. Can't imagine no other reason why he would have been in that godawful Indiana Jones 4 movie.

With R25 about Brad Renfro. Such a sad story. Such a talented, sweet kid who got into the worst situation possible. From a situation that was far from ideal from the start.

[quote]Can't imagine no other reason

So you can imagine another reason, R44? So can I: Spielberg is his real father.

Practically his spitting image.

But Shia's mother is incredibly unattractive, I can't believe Spielberg would go there!

It's possible that the resemblance is coincidental, and that Spielberg worked with the little pest because he liked seeing a face like his own up on the screen.

"I'm not discounting the molested girls but, in Hollywood, there's an expectation that girls will be better supervised. Even today, young boys are thrown into situations they're not prepared for."

And yet, as with the molesting Catholic priests, the molestation of boys gets all the press. I really think people (at least in the media) take the sexual exploitation of girls as given, particularly teenagers.

[quote]Brad Renfro. Such a sad story. Such a talented, sweet kid who got into the worst situation possible. From a situation that was far from ideal from the start.

I know he had a lifelong drug addiction, but I didn't think we ever learned why Renfro developed it.

Is there evidence it was connected to sexual assault?

I think Noah Hathaway judging by some weird photos like these. Maybe I'm dirty minded but I don't believe the photographer had innocent motives

Taylor Lautner's dad is kind of creepy & controlling and is a Christian fundie.

Don't know if that means anything.

See creepy Crispin Glover article on Spielberg hinting that Spielberg is a molester..

David Archuleta

IIRC those Hathaway photos were done in West Germany when he was at their age of consent, which is 14. I never heard about him becoming a fuck-up, although as an adult he covered his body with tattoos.

[quote] See creepy Crispin Glover article on Spielberg hinting that Spielberg is a molester..

I'm not saying he is, but then there's this…

No idea about Spielberg's proclivities, but that antisemitic Crispin Gover article is hardly a credible source. Nota bene that Jews and pedophiles tend to be twin obsessions of conspiracy theorists.

The Diff'rent Strokes kids (Todd Bridges, Dana Plato, Gary Coleman) Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

A least a couple of the kids from my show.

A bunch of illegal Mexicans molested me as a child.

Shirley Temple told the story herself, she went to Arthur Freed's office when she was 12 while her mother went to Louie B's. Louie B hit on Shirley'a mom, and Arthur Freed was waiting for Shirley naked. She laughed at his peepee and he got pissed and told her off. Shirley was 12 at the time.

Aaron and Nick Carter

Jonathan Brandis

After I read the Crispin Glover article---I have never viewed Spielberg's movie Hook in the same way.

R57, Todd Bridges has already revealed that he was sexually abused by a male manager when he was a kid.

He revealed it during his book tour a few years ago.

LeBoeuf has bragged about fucking his mother.

[quote] LeBoeuf has bragged about fucking his mother.

He certainly is a motherfucker, that's for sure.

R55 OMG You are right! Steven Spielberg was in the same room with Michael Jackson.

By your logic everyone that was in the auditorium with Michael Jackson during the Grammys is now worthy of suspicion.

For the Eldergays:

Scotty Beckett Bobby Driscoll Carl "Alfalfa' Switzer Rusty Hamer Billy Chapin (his sister Lauren was molested) Brandon Cruz Paul Petersen

R48 Mother LaDouche was probably more attractive in 1985 when Shia was conceived. I think Speilberg probably feels an affenity for Shia because of the resemblance.

R67: But wait, there's more. Why do you think Spielberg and Jackson were together:

It'd save time to say who wasn't molested.

Judy Garland

Natalie Wood

Willie Aames

"I know he had a lifelong drug addiction, but I didn't think we ever learned why Renfro developed it."

People don't always develop drug addictions because they're trying to numb the pain from some terrible trauma, sometimes people develop addictions because they like drugs! Sometimes they don't even thrown their lives away because someone has destroyed their self-respect, sometimes people throw their lives away because they think that everyone does drugs so why shouldn't they party until they develop a physical addiction.

Yes, people who were abused as children are more likely to self-destruct, but self-destruction is not proof of childhood abuse.

[quote]Yes, people who were abused as children are more likely to self-destruct, but self-destruction is not proof of childhood abuse.

Then what is?

[quote] Tatum O'Neal

And just imagine abused by her father and then being hit on by him years later when he doesn't recognize you. Ouch!

I've molested myself, does that count?

Shia and his Dad

What about George Lucas?

Spielberg Allen Singer I believe the rumors

George Lucas has always seemed asexual.

[R16] I say Jonathan Taylor Thomas because not from any insider knowledge, but that he quit the show and never came back. He left Home Improvement presumably to prepare for college, but didn't actually go to college. Tim Allen was confused by that. Then Jonathan didn't even return for the finale. It's somewhat unheard of for a child actor to voluntarily leave a multi-season hit show. They know full well that getting another job isn't so easy. Plus, he was one of those Tiger Beat poster boys. I can't imagine how creepy and predatory those photo sessions could be.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is rumored to be gay.

That may be one of the reasons he wanted a private life.

Rosie O'Donnell, which would explain why her house was constantly out of flour.

[R82] Gay is hardly a reason to give up acting. It often leads to acting, as we all know. Do a google image search of Jonathan Taylor Thomas. You will almost immediately find a picture of him wearing denim overalls and no shirt. He looks 11 or 12 years old. I'm not even a parent, but I would never have allowed my son to be used in such a way at that age. I can't imagine that he was comfortable posing like that. I know grown up models get paid higher rates for posing in underwear. Does that apply to Tiger Beat teen idols too?

I'm not saying that every addict was molested, but I am saying that every victim of molestation ends up in addiction at some point. It could be drugs, it could be food, it could be hoarding, but it always happens. And some of us develop multi-addictions.

Kim Raver

Kate Walsh

Katherine Heigl

R84, I haven't seen the photos of JTT that you are referring to, but it wouldn't surprise me.

It's not that unusual for pre-teen actors to be photographed shirtless. I've seen similar photos of Brad Renfro, Wil Wheaton and other young actors over the years.

Presumably the studios & magazines do some of these shoots for teen magazines and youth audiences, so as long as they aren't overtly sexually or being marketed mainly for adults, it's not necessarily wrong.

[R87] I know. I'm a man, certainly not a "think of the children" frau. I don't see anything wrong with Tiger Beat teen idols being plastered over girls' bedroom walls, but it's all context. That kid from Baywatch was shirtless all the time, but it was a beach show. Those parents just need to watch their actor children, because even the non-molested ones become sexually active much younger than the general population.

[quote]I don't see anything wrong with Tiger Beat teen idols being plastered over girls' bedroom walls, but it's all context.

What about boys' bedroom walls.

Well, boys can hang up Tiger Beat if that's what they want, but they'd probably prefer to "use" WWE posters.

John Travolta

Margot Kidder

Justine but not Jason Bateman (or maybe the other way but not both)

Kirk Cameron AND Candice Cameron

David Schwimmer

Joyce DeWitt

Cloris Leachman

Rose Marie

Jack Cassidy

Mel Brooks

And of course Harvey Levin

Pete Townshend claims he was abused when he was a kid. He

Sharon Tate

Marilyn Monroe

Christina Aguilera

Usher

Chris Brown was. Shocked no one's mentioned him yet.

Joyce DeWitt is obvious

Nick Stahl. Another child actor who grew up to be extremely troubled and breathtakingly talented.

Ricky Martin probably

He was one of the least uglier kids in Menudo when he was in it and looked about 8 or 9 when he was 12 when he joined, and the entire concept of Menudo was pedo bait.

And back in the early 90s, the manager, Edgardo Diaz, admitted that the boys left Menudo with as many problems or MORE problems than they had when they first joined. He also admitted that drugs and sex/orgies were something that happened frequently, and no way some nasty grown men didn't try to give them drugs to try sleeping with any of them. And Diaz did insist he was innocent, but there was also Joselo, the choreographer, and Jose Menendez, and many of the accusers say there were more and many inside people "knew what was going on".

And honestly Ricky has so many fetishes, was such a slut in his 20s, hated himself and thought he was a bad person for being gay, and had an almost desperate need to be loved that I could see him getting abused even just once or twice.

Aaaaand his foundation. Trying to help victims of child trafficking and educate others on it. You know, children being forced to work, with many of them being sexually abused if they aren't or are used for labor.

Lots of signs, so I'm impressed he didn't get some cocaine addiction or spiral out of control.

B2K guys were used. Raz B's story is particularly interesting. If you don't know them look them up.

If that celebrity goes off the deep end and were in the business since being a child/teenager, they were molested. Same with drug abusers and alcoholics.

And at least half of ALL boy band members are molested. Not just a token one in each group that takes it for the sake of the group.

For some reason, I think Henry Cavill. He's so devoid of emotions. It's as if he shuts himself off from the world. Plus, the constant drinking doesn't help matters. He does have a history of attending a boarding school, and one that is known to be more sexual than others. Here's what one person said about Stowe:

[quote]I think rapes certainly wouldn't have been called rapes. I have never been raped. There was a system of sexual favours [at Stowe], but they never happened with violence.

Meeno Peluce

Kaleena Kiff

Missy Francis

LouAnne

Jack Wild

Johnny Whitaker

Kevin Corcoran

Billy Mumy

Debbie Turner

[quote] And at least half of ALL boy band members are molested. Not just a token one in each group that takes it for the sake of the group.

The whole boy band model is built around it. You think anyone actually gives a shit about the music? Phe! It's all autotuned overcompressed simplistic four-chord drivel.

[quote] Kevin Corcoran

There's a scene in the TV-movie [italic]Moochie of the Little League[/italic] where he is in his underwear putting on his pajamas as his father stands their watching. Fast forward to the post-Walt pre-Eisner "What Would Walt Do" years, and 1980's [italic]The Last Flight of Noah's Ark[/italic] put Ricky Schroder in a similar scene (he was 9 when the film was shot). It got worse under Eisner and Iger. Case in point: hiring Victor Salva to direct [italic]Powder[/italic]. Brian Bonsall is another one I suspect was molested; he just fell apart as an adult. He also went through the Disney machine in the 1990s with [italic]Father Hood[/italic] and [italic]Blank Check[/italic], the latter of which seems like something Mary Kay LeTourneau would have conjured up, right before he hit puberty and joined Tina Yothers in career oblivion. Too bad, he was a cute kid and he could act and deserved better treatment from Hollywood than to be just used and thrown aside.

If something bad happens to either Zack or Cody, I told you so.

[quote]Dana Plato

I hate to say it, knowing how they both ended up, but I think having a kid at a young age ruined her career. If Tyler had never been born she might not have been fired from [italic]Diff'rent Strokes[/italic] or might have appeared more than she did in the show's dotage (Kimberly went to Paris and came back a bulimic mess), and might even have kept working after it went off the air. And work work, not softcore porn.

Sandra Dee was raped by her pedophile stepfather.

[quote]Paul Petersen

He actually brought up the subject on the Larry Elder show a few years back.

Drew Barrymore

Danny Bonaduce

Jonny Quest & Haji

With regards to Plato, I think the teen pregnancy thing was one of many reasons why she never worked after 'DS', the other being she had a terrible drinking problem which I believe was already well underway when she was on 'DS', add to that she was a terrible actress. I just can't imagine that she would have gotten any work whether she had gotten pregnant or not.

I might have missed the post, but I didn't see anyone post Bridgette Anderson who was in a wonderful little film (or at least that's how I remember it when I saw it when I was 7 years old) titled 'Savannah Smiles', the made for tv sequel to 'The Parent Trap' and then did tons of guest starring parts on tv shows throughout the '80s. She wound up dead of a heroin overdose in her early 20s. Very similar story to Anissa Jones.

Jane Fonda.

Rachael Maddow

Chris Colfer

Wentworth Miller

I think Charlize Theron, by her father. A guy doesn't just get drunk and try to break into his daughters room and shoot up the place. Lots must have happened prior to that. IMO

I can't help but wonder what down on the set of Growing Pains. Tracey Gold battled anorexia and Kirk Cameron turned into a raging homophobe. Was he molested as a kid?

Leo being molested by Jeremy miller

Just think, there isn't any shirtless pictures of Kirk Cameron any where

Scott Baio

I heard Leo and Jeremy Miller were caught jerking off together.

Jared Leto

Here is a helpful list.

Is it still wrong if the kid initiates the molestation?

Yes Milo it's still wrong

But u wouldn't correct the kid

When we were 13 an elderly doctor touched us for a long time 'down there' during an examinatia.

Did it moved ?

Princes Jackson

[quote]Jonathan Brandis

Whatever bad thing happened to him must have happened on the set of the movie [italic]Ladybugs[/italic]. That movie seems even more creepy and prophetic in hindsight now that the transcult has made a mockery of Title IX.

every child actor who worked with Spielberg

Though, I know she'll take it to the grave as she has been more guarded and private about her life than perhaps even Garbo, I have my suspicions about Lorna Luft.

LIZA MINNELLI owns this thread!

According to a thread that got deleted from some months ago

Brad Renfro

Cameron Bright

Haley Joel Osment

This thread should ask, rather, who wasn't molested when they were a child. Sign me up for the conspiracy list on this one. Too many Hollywood stars, especially Disney stars, display signs of having been molested.

It is an unpleasant thought.

Angelina Jolie, anyone? That family is very weird.

Andy rooney

Soon Yi Previn

What a gross weird thread. Sounds like pedophile fantasy.

Mariah. her sister was 10 years older and a druggie/prostitute bringing guys around when their mom was at work. that is why she dresses so provocatively

r138 is James Alefantis

RDJr

Any male under 18 that was on ant Xmen film.

Mickey rooney he was cute in boys town

WILLIE AAMES claimed that he was molested.

Man I would molest him too

Victoria Jackson

Agree with the Jolie comment. I wouldn't be surprised if one of her mom's boyfriends or a caretaker molested her.

Her mom had a grudge against her because she thought she looked like dad Jon Voight at birth, so neglected her with several different babysitters in her earliest years; Jolie looks insecure and unhappy in many early family photos.

Also: not only was Jolie hyper sexual at a very young age (her mother let her have a live in boyfriend at *12*), but there have been consistent rumors for years that the mother's biggest long term relationship after Voight broke up because he slept with Jolie, who was then 15. The mom apparently blamed Angelina and labeled it a Lolita-type situation, and it caused a division in their already rocky mother/daughter relationship. It's just as likely though that the mother's boyfriend was perving on Jolie for years (I think he was in the kids lives since Jolie was 9) and finally made a move on her when she was 15.

Either way, the poster upthread is right; Jolie grew up in a creepy household (and probably runs one now).

Johnny Depp

Terrence Stamp

Edie Falco

Mike Lookinland

Olympia Dukakis

Glynis Johns

Robert Redford

Ike Eisenmann

Catherine Burns

Anyone who were lucky enough to have "Made it" in any capacity as an actor was molested or prey. From the beginning to present day, it will always be that way, Christ even Shirley Temple was accosted and preyed upon.

Bryan Singer

[quote]Also: not only was Jolie hyper sexual at a very young age (her mother let her have a live in boyfriend at *12*),

She was 14, but wow still. How old was the boyfriend?

All of the above, and more we can only imagine.

The boys as well as the girls. (Because NO ONE wants to admit boys get molested...)

Continuing even now...

Michael Jackson and Jodi Foster

Adele

Lisa Whelchel

[quote]Because NO ONE wants to admit boys get molested.

That's not true. It's very common in this day and age to believe all children are vulnerable to abuse.

Macaulay Culkin

Reese Witherspoon

Kristen Stewart

Justin Bieber

Related Thread: Incest Specific

It would be more interesting to reveal who molested them.

I think Jacko owns this thread. I have seen allegations that Joe pimped him, he admitted to being traumatized watching his older brothers screw groupies while he was supposed to be sleeping. Allegedly he was put on female hormones to "save" his voice. And back then Trans people were put on truck loads of hormones, so it's likely Jacko got premarin OD. Not to mention all of the music biz types he was exposed. It's hardly a wonder why he turned out the way he did.

I have always suspected Courtney Love was molested by her father, even though she denies it. Her mother had custody taken away from him when she was a toddler because he allegedly tried to dose her with LSD. There are photos of them together when they briefly reunited when Coutney was a teenager, and the photos are very "off." Her dad is indisputably crazy, and probably from where Courtney gets the majority of her mental problems.

Melissa Benoit. She kind of has a vibe. Plus, marrying people she barely knows and now has a kid.

Ivanka

It would explain her relationship/marriage with Blake Jenner. She barely knew him when she married him. It was very toxic. She also barely knew Chris Wood when she married him and now has a kid with him.

R164 IIRC, her father claimed at one point that Courtney threatened to have him killed.
