Blind Item: Former child star was pimped tf out

Sad BI from an industry insider

[bold] TRIGGER WARNING - SEXUAL ABUSE [/bold]

Dancing with the Devil So, I work for an agency that represents a lot of Hollywood talent and after reading some tea on here about a certain former child star, let's call him [bold]Bayley Blue[/bold] , I had to come in and share my tea I've heard from several industry folks over the years. Warning though, it is dark. I have it on good authority that [bold]Bayley Blue[/bold] whose health they're watching right now was raped and turned tf out as a minor by some big and smaller names in the industry from age 16. This was while going after and landing his breakout role. We're talking 50+ year old men holding xes parties and gang raping teen boys. This went on for years. His main pimp and abuser, let's call him [bold]Mr. Shazam[/bold] (small name outside of the industry, but big in the industry), has the gift of magic and sorcery. Anyone who gets into contact with him passes away from drugs as if by magic. But when you are a supplier and predator to kids in entertainment that is what happens. One major (grown) star, Dancing Duke, who you all know and love overdosed and died in the middle of working with [bold]Mr. Shazam[/bold] . One of the minors [bold]Mr. Shazam[/bold] worked with recently overdosed on heroin due to the abuse and they tried to pass it off as natural causes. Back in the 2000s there were all these receipts about [bold]Mr. Shazam[/bold] abusing [bold]Bayley Blue[/bold] and other kids but he had folks scrub them by paying some off and threatening others. Now when [bold]Mr. Shazam[/bold] has everyone reunite for old time's sake our [bold]Bayley Blue[/bold]is nowhere to be seen. Another abuser of our child star, let's call him [bold]Tricky Twirl[/bold], has all but retired but still has a few bts credits here and there. [bold]Tricky Twirl[/bold] worked with [bold]Bayley Blue[/bold] for years and not only sexually abused our star but he's the one who first got him hooked on his drug of choice while still underage. Not only that, but [bold]Tricky Twirl[/bold] caused our star several incidents and hospitalizations over the years when he came back into his life and tried to "help" him. Tragic. The "help" was really keeping him drugged up and under his spell. They say the body keeps the score. Now our former child star is ill and there's a lot of speculation about why. When people suddenly fall sick, especially young in life you need to look at childhood trauma. These kinds of things tend to stay with us forever and it's no wonder our celebrity is in the place he's in now. It's drugs, rape, abuse, manipulation and blackmail.

Not to sidetrack this but I found this really bizarre. So when MJ was going through his child abuser scandal, there was a guy Marc Schaffel, who was a gay porn producer who Michael worked with and even thanked on Invincible in the liner notes. He was sidelined by Michael's people when they found out about his history. Well, guess who he is married to? Debbie Rowe, mother of MJ's first two kids. Is that not fucking Bizzare?

I thought the general attitude of the public was Michael Jackson was a freak because he had no childhood. That made him more relatable to children. Adults and teens in the 90s judged him more harshly than younger kids who just saw MJ as eccentric and an outsider. So no, it's not shocking Zac idolized Michael Jackson like many Millennial kids. I know he was a creep but DLers love to act like he wasn't still topping charts in the late 90s and early 2000s with his singles and didn't influence a whole generation of artists and dancers that still dominate our airwaves

You e got to be fucking kidding me. The last single he did that had any cultural relevance was Scream in 1995 and that’s because Janet was on it. His music was considered anachronistic by the late 90s and any value it may have had was overpowered by his bizarre looks and behavior as well as the child abuse allegations.

R92 I'm not kidding. You just need to separate your emotions from facts. He had hits in 1997 and his last hit was in 2001. Where do you think Usher, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and others were compared to when they were huge in the 2000s? Older people who were more cognizant were judgmental towards Jackson. Younger kids and teens cared less and sided with the weirdo who they viewed as anti-establishment and a targeted black man. It probably depended on your circle.

r91 I stand by my statement, Zac from 18-30 was a hot piece of ass.

This reminds me of a story of some parties Zac had during his hard drug days. I wish I could find the website that gleefully posted about some random girls that ended up at Zacs house for a party. Said he was passed out at one point. It sounded more like he was high as hell if he passed out. Sounded a bit too risky but believable.

Then we think of the infamous thread about the cousin of a big actress who was dating a huge Hollywood coke dealer. Some stars would offer the gay sidekick sex for drugs. So, even if it wasn't for blackmail r91, I'm sure many of folks got to fuck him just because he's an addict that was once so desperate, he was scrounging along skid-row for a hit.

Either way, I would have gladly fucked 20-something Zac. This could also be bs and Zac could simply be another actor that dabbled in drugs and went down a rabbit hole.

R47, R51, R55. No, a child star usually means to someone who is, 1. a child, and 2. a star.

A child is a person between birth and puberty. A star is someone who is above the title in movies or other media. Zac Efron was not a star when he was a child. Maybe he was an actor as a child, or as a young teen. He was at best, a teen star.

A child star usually means someone like Ricky Schroeder, Shirley Temple, Macaulay Culkin, someone who is a big pre-teen movie or TV star.

Not a fan of Michael Jackson but I do remember him on stage with Britney and NSYNC. They and other pop stars of the time, like Usher, would go on and on about what a legend and inspiration he was.

Stands to reason a younger Zac saw all of that and felt the same way. Plus, Zac was born in 1987 — he’s a millennial.

I also remember Jackson’s “You Rock My World” video with Chris Tucker getting tons of airplay when MTV dropped programming for a bit and played nothing but music videos following 9/11.

Let's never forget that Michael Jackson was a lecherous child groomer and rapist/paedophile over a long, long period of time.

We will never know how many young boys lives he destroyed including the circles of people attached to the victims (family, friends, supporters) because of the people who covered up for him like the entire Jackson family and music industry bigwigs because money at any cost.

This thread is useless but entertaining nonetheless.

R122 I'm not useless. I provided hours of entertainment for many men. Many, many men.

R116 Yes exactly. I'm a millennial and Michael Jackson was still popular in the 2000s regardless of his weirdness and abuse allegations. People on this thread are acting like it's odd that someone born in the late 80s idolized Michael Jackson. And most people see celebrities especially musical artists as typically weirdos or anti-establishment and give them more leeway to break the rules. DLers just cannot separate their emotions and opinions from facts. The whole teen pop and R&B sound in the 90s and 2000s was filled with clones of Michael Jackson. MTV was still giving MJ love and awards. So clearly he was liked by more than few. The climate was different then and people didn't care about what celebs did in their personal life or choose to ignore unsavory things they did. R. Kelly was still popular despite being a pedo too. Kids in general didn't think about it or we're told. Today it be much different. Zac fucking turned 18 before social media really took off.

[quote]I had no clue Zac Efron was on Baywatch

Zac Efron wasn't on "Baywatch", he was in "Baywatch" the movie. He was recurring character on "Summerland", the summer show produced and starring pre-jailbird Lori Loughlin. He still had the gap in his front teeth.

R119 But never in the blind item does it say that the former "child star" is currently a star. I would think if it was in fact Zac Efron, that would be stated.
