I was the oldest child in the family. My dad was very abusive to me verbally and physically. Since I was the oldest, all the responsibilities were on my shoulders. If my younger siblings got in trouble, it was my fault. My dad would hit me with a belt and coat hangers. To this day, I don't speak to my parents especially my dad. My dad was the most abusive and cruel. Forgive the people who have hurt me in the past? Hell, no. Nothing can fix the misery I felt as a kid.

For those of you who doubt Christina's story, the reporter who witnessed Joan's attack on Christina in the scene before she ends up in a convent...was Kitty Carlisle. She spoke up when people began to attack Christina. Joan was an out of control manic depressive narcissist.

In my opinion, I believe Christina. As for the people who claimed Joan was not abusive, it's easier to deny anything than to involve yourself in anything. And besides who would say anything bad about the great Joan Crawford ? People don't make things up like that. There was obviously something going on in that home that caused Christina a great deal of pain. & I feel for her.

I strongly suggest people look up Myrna Loy's own recollections of Christina. Loy worked with her on stage and said she was EXTREMELY difficult to deal with. Translate that into an extremely difficult 12 year old child. I believe Joan tried her best but with the emotional scarring of her own childhood- not to mention the stress of maintaining her career in a cutthroat industry- she was ill-equipped mentally to deal with a stubborn, willful child (which is what many recall Christina to be). PS- at Joan's memorial service, when Christina walked in, Myrna Loy got up and walked out.

Christina may have had issues to and it is understandable because look who mommy was.... and the stint taking Christina's place on the soap when the girl was ill? I remember my mom and aunt talking about that saying how silly she looked trying to play such a young girl and why did they let her do it. loy was no saint herself. in fact she had all sorts of affairs, with men and women and of course being so close to joan........ would be why she did not like Christina

I believe Christina & her brother. They lived it. The other two daughters were way too young to see them get abused. Joan had mellowed by the time they grew. Christina's not lying. Joan was spoiled & used to having her way. & How she wanted it , hence "Mommie Dearest"
@Muirmaiden
@Muirmaiden 7 жыл бұрын
mnmcv1, maybe it didn't occur to Loy that her pal Joan wasn't the best mother on the planet either. No matter how a child behaves, they have no power in a situation and can't defend themselves. So by that logic that you are spouting, any child who misbehaves or acts out should be beaten, sent away or subjected to emotional abuse? Yes, Joan was scarred by her own childhood, but did she forget how the years of mistreatment made her feel? She seemed to have felt justified to take out all the injustice done to her onto Christina and Christopher (who did back up Christina, by the way). Some people's priorities are out of whack, to say the least. Check out Bob Thomas' biography of Joan, published before "Mommie Dearest" which confirms that Joan was abusive with eyewitness testimony.

Amazing how delusional people can be when they are fans of an actress. Whether you people want to admit it or not Joan Crawfords own personal secretary confirmed her stories of abuse and more people came out in support of the daughters claims then the other way around saying they witnessed the abuse. But go ahead believe the two daughters who inherited all that wasn't given to charity and had a bone to pick with her since she sued over the will and an ex husband who had a reputation to uphold. As for the friends denying her claims easy to do that when you don't want people to think you ignored children being abused. All who denied it had a reason to say it didn't happen. But go ahead support a child abuser because you don't want your image of her tainted.

That beardy man in the vid, is a Joan Crawford fan and even he said he is glad she isn't his mother. Also Eve Arden (one of Joan's friends and colleagues) noted Joan was seriously flawed. I read Cheryl Crane's memoirs and she said she hung with her nanny and the other nannies and overheard stories like how Joan would strap down Christopher; later she went to the same Catholic boarding school as Christina and noted Christina to be defeated and witnessed that Christina had to not participate in Senior class activities because of her Mother's say so.

Exactly. It's heartbreaking to see people dismissing Christina's claims she was abused. And using the fact she's a 'difficult person' to discredit her claims- so what if she is? Doesn't mean the abuse didn't happen. And I think anyone would grow up to be 'difficult' after that much abuse.

So you’re the saying that the daughters who inherited money can lie, but the one who didn’t *wouldn’t* lie? Why, then, did she wait till her mother was dead and buried to bring up all this supposed abuse? I have heard interviews when Joan was alive where adult Christina has nothing but good things to say about her mother and how she has helped and supported her. Maybe Joan got frustrated with Christina, but there are two sides to every story and we’ve only heard one ‘cause Christina ensured that.

Marvin Krumholt, that's true. One child was reclaimed by his natural mother (lucky for him). And yes, I lived through a similar experience, and it's not uncommon for some children (often the younger ones) to have a different perspective. People who don't believe Christina or who think she shouldn't talk about it don't want to admit that their favorite movie star was not who they thought she was. Most abusers know how to put up a facade to hide how abusive they are.

Although I feel sorry for Christina & Christopher, I can't help but feel bad for Joan as well. I believe that Joan Crawford was a good person and loved and cared for her children to the best of her abilities. But being an alcoholic with bipolar and having a rough childhood, she had a lot of personal demons and she sadly took it out on her children, and they had to suffer because of it which is extremely unfortunate. It's still no excuse though the way she acted towards her children, but I feel like she was just a very tortured soul.

I have to laugh at the comments made at 16:30. "The next 10 years after Mildred Pierce, Crawford managed to make a dozen or so pretty forgettable films..." Who is he kidding???? Forgettable films? Humoresque....Sudden Fear, Queen Bee, Flamingo Road, Harriet Craig, The Damn Don't Cry? She would receive two more academy award nominations? Good grief she was making in her prime at this time with Warner Brothers. I know they have to make this crap up to create this "scandalous" pitch for their show, but here is someone, regardless of what you think about her, lead one helluva life. You really don't need to dramatize and try to portray her as someone who got lucky with one script and won an Oscar and then never made another decent movie in the next 10 years. lol It's just nonsense.

Yes I have read articles and seen documentaries. No, I don't take Christina's word as the only truth. There are people who knew Joan who stated that she was abusive to Christina & they had a very difficult relationship. I believe Joan was a very damaged person,& I also believe that Christina is. At this point, either people believe Christina or Joan. She can't truly harm Joan anymore, only her legacy. No one (including "witnesses" to incidents) will never know the full truth. That's my opinion.

Bette Davis did not "hate" Joan Crawford; Davis simply couldn't tolerate Joan's pretensions, posturing, and drinking on-set.

I grew up thinking of Joan as the Mommy Dearest character. I now believe the daughter was exaggerating and jealous of her mother’s success. Too many others have vouched for Joan’s decent character. It’s a shame the smear came after her death which didn’t allow her to defend herself and forever ruined her reputation.

What's the point of putting up a video that's unwatchable. The audio is too low, muffled, and there's a horrible static noise!! Just take it down!

I usually would not know what to believe. However, the fact that the personal secretary's story corroborates Christina's story, has me convinced that Christina is telling the truth about the abuse.

"She was desperately sifting through scripts, husband had left her in 1946" In 1946 she had already made Mildred Pierce (1945), won the Academy Award (1946). She was back on top before hubby #3 left. She divorced him late 1945. She was GIVEN scripts and approval for everything in 1946. She was whipping Bette Davis' tail at Warners in 1946. Her low point was post MGM, 1943-1945. Phillip Terry (Hubby #3) was still around. She was not alone at her lowest point. Poor reporting....

Bette was still the queen at WB when Joan came, it’s just that Bette’s 50s career wasn’t as vibrant as Joan’s was because Joan indulged in a lot of campy melodramas and Bette’s more serious style (however theatrical) wasn’t finding the right scripts to show it.

Life in the orphanage would have been better? Joan was a wise woman. Most likely she told Christina to write that book. It's 2020 and people still know who Joan crawford is if only for that book. She knew how to make even the worst press work to her advantage.
