Comdey Hype should interview Raquel Bolleau who was on Nickelodeon and the documentary Quite on the set Raquel and Mark Summer from double dare said the producers didn't tell them what the documentary was about.

Please, some of these parents don't care, they are putting their kids in harms way. Thats why a lot of teenage actors get emancipated like Drew Barrymore and Macaulay McCallum did. A lot of these kid actors are the breadwinner of the family. They are the ones who paying the bills, rent, mortgage and etc. The parents don't work, they rely on their kids. Some of these parents exploited their kids. Look up what Brooke Shields mom allowed Hollywood to do to her. She was half naked for the movie blue lagoon. The movie pretty babies she played a teenager prostitute Doing scenes that was inappropriate for a child. She was in playboy at 10. Gary Coleman had to go back to work after he just had surgery for kidney. Jackie Cooper uncle and grandmother would do stuff to make him cry for a scene. They told him if he didn't cry they would kill his puppy They drugged Judy Garland when she was doing The wizard of Oz and another movie at the same time. kzbin.infoQCO2bRIDwGY?si=mLfqgYN069wFgdTB

Shirley Temple gave an interview as an adult & was open about the pedo scenes of her being bounced on men's laps, always an orphan being raised by a single man, etc. She also told there was a wooden box the kids would be placed in if they misbehaved or got their lines wrong. She learned fast to stay in line. She did not believe it was okay in the least. Patty Duke is another sad example of parents selling their child for fame & money. Patty was horribly abused. There are probably thousands of kids who lived thru this nightmare we'll never know about. Paris Hilton came forward about her experience & her parents refused to talk about it. They knew. It's part of the HWood ritual to give one or more children to them. Anne Rice wrote a whole series on it.

The predators go out to the adults as well. That is why there’s so much drug abuse in the industry. These people have to try to cope with what they have gone through.

Wow! I needed to hear this from Mr. Wilson instead of the click-baiting videos that either lie or exaggerate for views.

One hundred per cent the truth. It does not only happen in childhood. Parents like that try to do it as long as they have access to you. Its not just Hollywood.

[@jashary15]

Demond Wilson is spot on about child exploitation in Hollywood. It's been going on for decades; parents living vicariously through their own offspring for their own selfish gain, exposing them to sex perverts and pedophiles and stripping and robbing them of their childhood innocence forever. He mentioned for example Shirley Temple, who was way too precocious for a child star; some of her movies and scenarios with grown men viewed in a modern-day light may be disturbing to today's viewers. Not just her, there were other child stars of that era-the 1930s-and beyond, who was also manipulated and sexually exploited, in effect, being 'pimped out' by both their parents and producers as well as being sexually abused by well-known actors and actresses and other adult performers of the day, whose names have been obscured in anonymity for fear their reputation and legacy would be destroyed. As the saying goes, "There's no business like show business"-and show business is no business for a child.

[@thebastardgift]

Such parents are not living through their children inasmuch as living off of them.

[@jashary15]

@@thebastardgift It basically works both ways; they're living through their kids by capitalizing on their fame and they're living off them by spending their monies, often unauthorized, for their own monetary benefit. Oftentimes, the child star, to their shock and horror, discover that money that was meant for them to benefit their present and future have been used up by their parents for their benefit.

Brother Demond represents the BSA for real. The poker game analogy was perfect.

[@blackfreud9048]

I’m sick of this condescending OG bullsht. Just be humble and teach the young generation. Don’t just keep attacking them for being “stupid”, or not informed before their times. Respect breeds respect. Patronizing others innocently wanting to know means he ain’t learned nothing about humility. Hollywood done ruined this guy, while he got semi rich and sorta famous. Be glad somebody wants to hear your old ass stories where you’re still too scared to “name names!” Dick Gregory gave the same useless condescension when asked an honest question. How bout civility and respect and maybe young folks will want to benefit from these self serving, non stories……

He’s an old man don’t forget they can be impatient with us youngsters when we don’t keep up 😊

[@canicole20]

He is definitely rude to the interviewer at times and it’s not necessary. Demond talk to him like he’s stupid. Demond was coked off his nuts and strung out in the late seasons of Sanford and Son. If he was so smart he would have never touched cocaine now he act like he smarter then everyone else and we need to catch up. The only thing I took from this interview is that Demond Wilson is an a**hole .

What about Oprah? A lot of people say you can’t get into Hollywood without her permission

The interviewer is a grown man just like Desmond, he could cut it short if it wanted to but he is more interested in hearing the real then getting into his feelings.
