Evan Rachel Wood says that “pretty much all” young boys in Hollywood have been molested in new documentary "Showbiz Kids"

“Almost all”? Sounds like there’s work to be done.

we need to get these predators out of here. i hope people keep talking. #metoo should've expanded and come after the pedos.

bless your heart.

Holy Shit. Enough is enough. These celebrities who are genuinely sickened by this need to come together and out these motherfuckers. Strength in numbers. It'll be harder for these child rapists to sue when so many know the truth.

And any parent who puts their kid in showbiz, clearly hates their child.

get back to me when they start naming names.

which will be never.

she could have a friend who broke down and confessed. that's hearsay and will not hold up unless the victim says something. and the victim may still want to work in hw.

I’ve never won a Golden Globe! 😎😎

Stephen Daldry earned a Globe as one of the producers for The Crown, and he directed Wood’s ex-husband Jamie Bell in Billy Elliot. Wood was there at that ceremony, since she was nominated for Westworld.

R1 speaking of DL jokes that never get old ! (I’m not being facetious I always laugh out loud)

You know they fucked some little fey dancer boy. There is your answer.

I just watched it. I'm very curious to know who she alluded to when she mentioned the Golden Globe winner.

She likes throwing these bombs and never following through with what she was about to say.

Back in the Me Too era, she came close to accusing her ex, Marilyn Manson, of something serious, but then nothing came of it.

Yikes.

They don’t name names out of fear of many things, like being sued, being blacklisted or ending up dead and it being declared a suicide.

Anyone who gets caught with kid porn suddenly dies before ever being able to name names.

In the clip they show her in attire she wore at the 2017 GG. Here’s the wiki entry for it.

[quote]ending up dead

You mean like Epstein who never had the chance to name names and ended it up dead? If anything, it would look MORE suspicious if she ended up dead after naming names.

Name names!

They get killed before they are able to name names. That is the whole point. We never heard the names.

Yup

God damn R8 - how did you pull that out of the sky so quickly? Fucking impressive.

Funny, I eliminated Stephen Daldry from the list of potentials because I thought everyone knew there were some, um, boundary issues with Jamie Bell. I guess that's just a DL thing? I wonder if it's Hugh Laurie, because he was a surprise winner that night, so she wouldn't have expected to see him on stage. I know enough about the sexual exploitation of children to know that the exploiters rarely run around fitting the Chester the Molester profile, but still, damn, Laurie would definitely be a guy people didn't suspect.

I won an 2 Oscars bitch, get it right.

Pedophiles in Hollywood, No way!!

I look young and dress super hip. So I can hang out with them.

People in the comments for the Jezebel story have speculated that it's DL fave Ryan Murphy.

(R25) Well, has a thing for famous people's kids. He has to put them in every one of his shows. Either they can act or not.

She's a bit of a cooky and a bandwagon jumper. Unless she puts something out, which I'm not optimistic about considering her record, I'm writing this off as attention-seeking.

Sorry. I don't like these coy games. What inevitably happens is a lot of innocent people get caught up in the speculation. And there's too many dimwits out there who think if they see a name thrown out there on twitter that it must be true. If she feels confident enough in her allegations, she should be able to name the individual.

There's stuff in the comments about Henry Thomas's ("E. T.") mother being labeled as "difficult" because she was always trying to make sure Thomas was not being molested.

There's always smoke on DL about Spielberg, but I've never heard anything about who he is supposed to have molested. Is it Henry Thomas?

(R28) but that's the thing they never do. Their career always comes first. Look how many years Harvey and Kevin got away with it. And Bryan Singer still is.

R26, his "thing" for famous people's kids is him catering to their famous parents who he usually has worked with or had professional business with. Nepotism isn't just a "Hollywood" thing. I'm never sure why too many people harp on it. I often feel people want Murphy to have done something terrible and dark because other than playing favorites the guy has remained pretty squeaky clean. I think if he had we would have heard about it by now from legitimate sources.

R28, I agree. I'd also add that I get why people don't name specific names when it doesn't directly involve them. She could name the guy. She could name a victim. The victim would then have to admit something happened. It's always better coming from a victim. Then there's the matter of getting one to come forward which they often don't especially if they have careers.

Alex Winter said he was molested when he was 13 and working on Broadway. Does anyone know who molested him?

Unless she's going to name names, she's part of the problem.

Something or someone screwed up Henry Thomas despite his mother's apparent best efforts. He's been a drunk mess his entire life. .

[quote]There's always smoke on DL about Spielberg, but I've never heard anything about who he is supposed to have molested. Is it Henry Thomas?

I've seen references to the Asian kid in Indiana Jones/Goonies. Even Seth MacFarlane sort of refers to it in American Dad when Roger plays a Spielberg=type director and he grabs the Asian kid and dry humps him.

:47

[quote] I’ve never won a Golden Globe! 😎😎 —Bryan Singer

But the golden globes have won you over.

[quote] I've seen references to the Asian kid in Indiana Jones/Goonies.

Short Round.

[quote] “Is it appropriate for a 15-year-old boy to have a sexual relationship with a 36-year-old woman? I don’t know,” [Daldry] continues, leaning in to make his point while fluidly pressing out the wrinkles in the tablecloth. “Maybe, maybe not. Love comes at you in many different ways, at many different ages. But do I think the boy is abused? No.”

[quote] Even [Daldry's] sexual identity doesn’t fit in with the crowd. Daldry, who identifies himself as gay, happens to have a wife with whom he has a 5-year-old daughter. The family lives primarily in New York, and Daldry also has a home in London. “I have so many wonderful straight friends who have such terrible marriages,” he says. “And my marriage is the happiest I can imagine.”

[quote]Unless she's going to name names, she's part of the problem.

She has done this before. During the peak of MeToo, she was criticizing women for not naming their abusers while at the same time was claiming that one of her exes beat her up and raped her. Naturally everyone who saw this went wild with speculation and she basically allowed innocent guys like Alexander Skarsgard to be raked over the coals by those who thought she was talking about him.

She's pathetic and absolutely part of the problem.

So she recounts how she sees the paedophile collect an award and walks out and we hear how she was sobbing and saying to those trying to comfort her ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore’ and then...that’s it. It’s bad enough that people turned a blind eye to Harvey Weinstein’s perversity but to continue, after seeing him brought down, to do so when kids are involved is simply egregious.

They are all complicit. I was taught at a Catholic school at which there was abuse. The monks and lay teachers who knew but did nothing were culpable. Same here.

I had a relative in my extended family who was a HUGE lawyer for Disney/ ABC oh- some 15 years ago. Represented many of their stars in their tv program. Despite being a lawyer and living in Hollywood, he somehow managed to remain a mostly decent person- down-to-earth and unaffected. Still showed up at the family reunions with the crappy potato salad in the Midwest, and saw fit to cover the medical expenses of a couple of nearer relatives who became quite ill. Like I said, a decent guy. All of a sudden, we got word that "X" was in the throws of a Horrific depression that had come out of nowhere in his mid-50's. At this point in his life he had everything- a solid marriage, a great job, $$$, you name it. He also got the best mental health care money could buy. He took medications, did in-patient, out-patient counseling- but never seemed to crack or open up. Whatever it was that was troubling him- nothing seemed to work, and about 9 months later we got a soul-crushing phone call that he had jumped off a bridge killing himself. NONE of it made sense. Everyone was devastated. Flash forward to a few years ago, and all you hear about in relation to the Disney channel these days, not to mention so many H-wood productions working with children and all you hear about is Abuse, abuse, abuse. And all I can think of is my relative and perhaps some secrets that might have died with him.

[quote]So she recounts how she sees the paedophile collect an award and walks out and we hear how she was sobbing and saying to those trying to comfort her ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore’

Sorry, but she definitely sounds like a she's whoring for attention.

Even to this day people are being dismissed as conspiracy tin-hats when they claim that the world, for the most part, is run by predators.

No matter how many priests are being revealed to be pedophiles, how many cases the Vatican has covered up and made go away, how many times Bryan Singer gets accused from being a pedo / hebephile creep, the sexual abuse in the Boy Scouts or high school sports, how many docs there are about Hollywood's predatory ways. It's all "You're just making that up!" and mocking #metoo.

Anyone named Evan Rachel was molested by their parents.

R43 Have there been many high school sports sexual scandals, I can only thing of college ones like Penn State and Michigan?

Does this include Timothée?

[quote]Unless she's going to name names, she's part of the problem.

The problem is that the people who are willing to say something publicly are usually not the people who were molested, they heard about it from a trustworthy source or saw something that was suspicious, like with Elijah Wood who said in retrospect, a lot of really sketchy stuff was going on and it was his mother's doing that he didn't get caught up in it.

What he said was surely true, but he and others don't have actual proof. Not to mention that people who come out and say they were molested are harassed, even if they DO have some pretty good proof. Threads about Anthony Rapp are packed full of "he's a piece of shit making it up, fuck him, hope someone rapes him to death." No one seems to care that Michael Jackson was a molester. Mo'Nique, Todd Bridges, Mackenzie Phillips, Dylan Farrow, Eliza Dushku, Anthony Edwards, Corey Feldman, Lady Gaga have all been slammed repeatedly on social media and in the press as liars.

It's not accurate to say she's part of the problem. The problem is huge, and she's not part of it at all.

I don't understand how anybody would want to join Hollywood at this point.

No way is it Murphy.. anyone naming him is a total homophobe. He’s squeaky clean. Preferring actor’s children? You mean putting Mamie Gummer in an episode of AHS? Give me a break. He’s a celeb ass kisser but he’s not a pedo,

[Quote] Back in the Me Too era, she came close to accusing her ex, Marilyn Manson, of something serious, but then nothing came of it.

Would it really shock anyone that MM is a piece of shit??

Let me tell you about my audition for The Reader.

I think it depends a lot of the parents.

Children who have parents who are not that eager to live from their children and care about the boy or girl way more than the money that he/she makes, probably avoid that situation. And of course the children of actors and directors.

Anyway it's a risky business for a kid even if he/she is not molested

Doubt that Screech or Urkel we’re molested.

But if he names him then she also needs to name the victim/s. What if they don't want to be named? I mean, if they did, they would already come out with it themselves

Then she should just shut up about it if she has no intention of ever revealing who it is. As stated before, she’s part of the problem.

Maybe, she is worried about being sued for slander or defamation?

I saw what you did there in the last paragraph, R52.

[quote]Unless she's going to name names, she's part of the problem.

This is such bullshit.

I bet her husband gave her an earful of his experiences, but told her not to repeat any of it publicly, as it would jeopardize his career.

So she is probably REALLY pissed off about this, but unable to name names.

R58, then she needs to not say shit publicly like this:

[quote]”I knew, not a lot of people know, but I know he’s molested boys in the industry”.

If she knows, then she has a moral obligation to speak up. If she doesn’t want to, then she needs to stop saying “I know, but I won’t help.”

That’s the definition of “part of the problem”. She’s exactly like the bishops who covered up and moved the molester priests around to other parishes. She refuses to call out the criminals in her own profession.

R59 You don't get to make the rules, honey.

Her saying what she is allowed to say is better than not saying anything at all.

And she said enough that people have already connected the dots.

She is not part of the problem, no matter how often you type those words.

R60, you should ask yourself why it’s so important to you to make excuses for an enabler.

I would agree with r60. it helps to have someone who is not straight-out nuts (like Corey Feldman) saying this because it will potentially make stage parents more vigilant.

And let's be honest, r59: you want her to name names mostly out of prurience. We see right through you.

Alex Winter did two Broadway shows......here are the cast lists......go to it, Detectives.

I did ask myself and the answer came back: "Do tell R61 to kindly fuck off."

Come on.

NO ONE could have resisted.

Unfunny, r65.

F&F.

[quote] Alex Winter did two Broadway shows......here are the cast lists......go to it, Detectives.

I think it’s pretty obvious it was George Rose.

That was my first thought, too, R67.

I believe her, partly

R29 It seems quite obvious who two of his victims are: Drew Barrymore and Ariana Richards from Jurassic Park. Drew fell into drugs at a young age, while Ariana has completely retired from show business.

On the male side, I suspect Star Wars actor Jake Lloyd was sexually abused by someone, especially considering how messed up he is.

I think it’s odd that Spielberg’s adopted daughter stated that she was molested and is now turning to porn and living with a man her dads age. Really suspect

[quote] I think it’s pretty obvious it was George Rose.

That makes a lot of sense.

What a monster he was. And in the end he was punished for his behavior by being tortured and murdered by a teenage boy he had adopted just so Rose could fuck him whenever he wanted.

[quote] I think it’s odd that Spielberg’s adopted daughter stated that she was molested

has she said she was molested by Spielberg himself? I knew she was a porn actress; I hadn't heard about the molestation allegations.

Evan Rachel Wood is a CUNT. So she's going to play coy again and let potentially innocent individuals get stabbed with pitch forks like last time?? Clues don't have anything to do with "innocent until proven guilty". I really hate this bitch for not speaking up. Yes, I want you to sacrifice your mainstream career, Evan. You can still do fringey indie stuff like you've been doing for 99% of your life, but no, you want to hold onto that mainstream success that you finally got your hands on after Westworld. Living in a society of formerly abused children who are now deranged adults that will sometimes repeat and perpetrate the abuse they suffered on other children is not conducive to progress. I hope your Google Alerts can hear me, cunt!!

[quote]But if he names him then she also needs to name the victim/s. What if they don't want to be named? I mean, if they did, they would already come out with it themselves

Nonsense. Most of the time, we never know the names of countless victims unless they want to come forward and they never have to be publicly known.

[quote]Ariana has completely retired from show business.

I just looked up her wiki: It was only seven years ago. Her last thing was 2013. She got married that year and had a kid - that's probably why she no longer works.

I'll say that Spielberg's name pops up in a lot of these rumors. But, as far as I know, it is all rumors. I have never seen any kid actor publicly accuse SS of anything like that. Until somebody comes out with direct knowledge I treat as a rumor.

R34 What? Henry Thomas is still working.

R78 No

All she ever does is repeat rumors. Truly worthless trash.

henry thomas is doing pretty well in his career now.

[quote]All she ever does is repeat rumors

She should join DL then

Henry Thomas was hot in Better Things

More anger at ERR than at the sexual abusers. Of course.

She is protecting pedophiles. We know that they're out there, we don't need this fucking B-lister to tell us that. Tell us WHO. Name names or shut the fuck up. She claims to *KNOW* who they are... like the Catholic Church knew who the pedo priests were but kept quiet and moved them around. ERW wants attention and will do anything to get it. Have the balls to call people out or sit there and eat your food.

What's strange about Ariana Richards is that she worked pretty steady until Jurassic Park. After that movie the roles and projects got smaller. The only lead she got after that was in a TV movie sequels to Born Free, with Jonathan Brandis.

She's really good in that episode of Boy Meets World, though her part is pretty small.

Have any of you looked at Rose's Wikipedia page?

"In 1984, he purchased a holiday home in Sosúa, Dominican Republic, where he spent much of his time between his performances. Rose was gay and had no immediate family or permanent partner. He reportedly longed to have an heir. Shortly after moving, he took in a 14-year-old boy whom he supported financially and to whom he planned to leave his estate. He adopted the boy in January 1988.[7]"

Yup. He adopted a young teen because he "longed to have a heir." I'm sure that's it.

R66.

yeah, the DR appears to be a very popular destination for old, white scum - just ask Limbaugh.

R86 Well, ,she was pretty bad in Jurassic Park. Being in a big big movie can be your passport to bigger roles or the thing that sinks your career

So she didn't go to authorities to report any of it? Sounds complicit.

[quote]What a monster he was. And in the end he was punished for his behavior by being tortured and murdered by a teenage boy he had adopted just so Rose could fuck him whenever he wanted

Link.

This is a stretch.

If I had been a 16 year old and decided to do what I needed to do to get ahead, I certainly wouldn’t go after the person that rewarded me. After all, I did something I was not thrilled about. Bit now you want me to endanger my reason for doing it?

Watched this doc on HBO last night......most of it was boring..... How can you make that subject boring?!

Hire some vocal fry women to bloviate on their vapid lives while preening for the camera......

Just read an article about this documentary in The Guardian today, and I KNEW you girls would be dishing about EWR and her dead eyes. But I see no one has mentioned who the pedophile was who won a Globe with her in the audience. I looked at the winners during the last year she was nominated (2017), and yep - there he is, lol. It's (maybe perhaps possibly) Paul Verhoeven*, as everyone my age who grew up around Hollywood circles during the 80s and 90s will attest.

*allegedly

R96 Please tell more about Verhoeven! What else did these Hollywood kids gossip about?

I'm'na just put this out there. Most people I was ever close enough to go have this deep of a conversation with were molested. male and female. We get outraged over organizations that act as silent conspirators, while our own families engage in the same behavior. I would not be surprised there's more than a little truth to hear claims.

... tablet auto-correct wrecked a lot of words in my post R98, sorry.

Same here, R98. It is really so common, and there is a great deal of denial involved. We put more resources into stranger danger and pedophile alerts when it is most commonly happening within the family, but that is a reality that people cannot deal with.

[quote] Laurie would definitely be a guy people didn't suspect.

He’s a dear old friend of Stephen Fry, you know.

I can't believe Tom Hanks hasn't been mentioned in this thread.

Evan used to frequently attend ‘acting class kids’ parties’ as a young pre/teen, which are gatherings organised and chaperoned by agencies across Hollywood. Heaven knows what really went on there.

Former child actor Josh Peck shared a ‘kiss’ with Evan during a ‘spin-the-bottle’ game at one of these events (he mentions this in the video below). The way he talks about it makes me wonder how innocent the game and the event really was.

R100 An episode of Criminal Minds, of all things, had a great scene where the agents discuss how useless "strange danger" fearmongering is.

[quote]But I see no one has mentioned who the pedophile was who won a Globe with her in the audience.

You missed R8.

Hell those boys sure could use a vacation in Nebraska. Plenty of fresh air up here at the ranch. So they like gingham?

Detectives should pay her a visit. Enough with these games.

R98 When I was growing up, literally everyone knew that the guy I lived next door molested the girls in his family. He even fathered a child with his daughter. Nobody did anything, but my parents would act outraged over stories about child abuse on TV.

As an adult, it really disturbs me.

R108 it’s amazing what blind eyes won’t or can’t see.

As a kid and teen, my family home was unwitting neighbour (well, across the dirt road) to a horrifying situation - a grandfather molesting and beating the three grandchildren (two girls and a little boy), in the care of him and hose wife thanks to absent addict parents. We lived in a tiny, sleepy, rural hamlet of less than 600 mostly-respectable people, and not a soul knew about this going on.

When the story came out and an anonymous tip got the cops involved, we couldn’t believe it. All through the comfortable safe entirety of my childhood and school years, these other poor kids I would see playing the woods or lingering at the bus stop were going through Hell, and I never suspected. My Mama couldn’t believe it, either.

The grandfather died before he could be charged, the grandmother went into an old folks’ home, and the kids were bussed out of the County and taken into social care somewhere else. We left the village a few years later.

Since then, I haven’t been the same, not as quick to trust or accept anything at face-value.

I wonder when she will out these people...

R12 - your post aged extremely well!

R110 - She wont because she still needs a paycheck.

Its easy to out Marilyn Manson because he hasn't been relevant in over a decade.

Valid point, R112. I hope someone will out these fuckers one day, nonetheless.

[quote]Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Jackie Coogan, and Bridges’s co-star Dana Plato.

Those of us in the industry knew after a day's filming on "The Kid," Chaplin would take Coogan out to Marion Davies place on the beach and diddle that little boy with his Tramp cane.

I have no clue who the other people are.

Connor Jessup and Miles Heizer probably trade war stories.

For some victims, even adult ones, it takes several years to get over the (self-inflicted) shame and traumatic shock of the abuse to come forward and talk about it.
