RAVEN SYMONE EXPOSES HOLLYWOOD (child star experiences + changes needed)

[@MaddMaddox77]

I love that Raven called out the fact that yelling in anger as a manager is toxic. I'm a manager at a very busy, fast food restaurant and we do not yell at our employees in anger or to reprimand them. We need to yell occasionally to be heard in the middle of a busy rush, but we don't yell in anger

[@thewkovacs316]

it's abuse and there is no excuse for it but chris tried to excuse it

[@sugrcookiiee]

Ive never heard or experienced that especially being in management in the fast food industry 10+ years; its usually just mentally abusive.. but its refreshing to know that some joints can treat employees with respect without screaming at them.

[@Zipperskull_]

That's why some people don't deserve to be manager.

[@brittanyparistx]

This is HUGE!!!!! Thank you for honoring your employees like that. Treating each other with respect is key for both employer and employee.

[@DeadKraken]

@@thewkovacs316 Authority figures treating teenage boys like shit, being "though" with them and verbally abusing them are all normalized things in our patriarchal society, especially until 10\15 years ago, that's probably why he tried to sort of excuse that behavior and not admit it's toxic. It's probably how he was treated by multiple male figures of authority as he grew up and can't admit to himself it's abuse.

It's incredibly creepy that they don't want the parents to be on set. Even literal babies. They said the Olsen twins cried too much when their mom was on set. I'm pretty annoyed that Chris wanted to speak on something he hadn't seen. Raven did a great job though

[@mikki_s1100]

Which is so sad, because they were likely crying in need of comfort, and without there parent there didn’t feel safe to express their needs. Happens even with newborns

[@EavenStarchilde]

Raven is right- and what's even more sad, is that she's been telling us for a long time and no one was listening and passed her off as unhinged because in the past she's made some not so savory tone deaf remarks... But I dont wholly blame her for it either; look at what she went through. Right now, she's trying her best to protect the children, women and men alike in the industry by exposing it for what it really is. I applaud Raven for not giving up and giving in. She's a remarkable and strong woman.

[@spectre9340]

It's very sad that Drake Bell could've been spared since his dad was very much the "If you touch my kid, you're dead" kind of parent but his mom was unfortunately the "I want my child to be a star" kind of parent and didn't believe any of his dad's concerns about Drake being alone with Brian Peck all the time

[@SpoiltLittlePrincess]

I think if you look at Radliffe and Watson in particular it had a huge impact. They would not be their grouned, insightful and chill selves without those laws in place and some of the actors and staff that parented and mentored them in those days. It hasn't saved everyone, of course. Grint and a few other actors had addictions or committed crime/went to jail etc but if you consider all of those kids who had returning roles and a lot of press, set and camera time most of them did well and OK at least in terms of who they grew up to be.

[@mappingoutthesky]

​@@SpoiltLittlePrincess What? Rupert Grint isn't an addict. Most of them aren't. Ironically, Daniel was the one who had a drinking problem and so did Tom Felton. As for crimes, the actor who played Crabbe served time but as for the others, no one did anything. Everyone is pretty chill. I don't where did you get this info from

@@SpoiltLittlePrincess no but that’s the thing, i’m not saying they are these perfect angels, I’m talking about pedophilia and children abuse alone, cause they obviously still had room to fuck up and being affected by the fame and money but somehow it seems like every adult treat them how they were supposed to and that’s (sadly) quite remarcable

[@SpoiltLittlePrincess]

@@mappingoutthesky I appreciate the correction on Grint because I watched him in a movie several years ago and I remember people mentioning they were glad to see him in something bc they had addiction issues or smth similar but perhaps they were wrong. I remember Radcliffe discussing alcohol but obv he overcame/managed that which is why I didn't mention it though I didn't know about Felton. And I wouldn't say that every single actor from the Potter franchise outside of those above is entirely chill but none of them are out carjacking or jumping kids or anything as far as we know. And tbh, whether people think they're chill or not would really depend on their opinions on various things that actors have had divisive opinions on (which I really don't feel like sparking a fight over in YT comments).

I really like the fact that for Raven coming forth about this, is that she’s trying to brainstorm what we can do to make changes to entertainment industries instead of just gossiping about what we already know and what has come forth. I’m going to be 27 this summer, I remember watching That’s so Raven way more than I watched shows on Nickelodeon. I do remember loving Zoey 101 in 4th grade ish and I was about 4-5gears old watching the Amanda show. I always remembered how weird Nick was getting with the shows being produced, hence I chose to watch Disney more. I loved iCarly, KZbin was something everyone dreamed of getting popular on at the time.. but I remember how uncomfortable I felt sometimes when watching iCarly. Anyways. I like how Raven is brainstorming protection laws for children in entertainment industry and really pushing for the message that if this is the route families take, to always have the parents present. I really hope to see her really pursue bringing this to light and even in court to create a law to protect children. I think it would be awesome to begin having mandated reporters on sets, somehow incorporate that on set or even a family advocate for people to go to and make complaints or parents advocating for their children. Idk it’s all complex, but I feel like with all the child stars whom are adults could come together to make these laws possible and set in place would be awesome. Yooo especially with things going on with honey boo boo and her money situation. Those kinda of protections and laws too for the child.

Coogan laws don’t require the parent to set aside all of the kids earnings. Unless it’s changed recently, they’re only required to set aside 15%. Personally I think it should be the other way around, that parents should have to set aside everyone and keep 15% for themselves. That percentage is a very generous manager fee.

[@DavidKen878]

The Coogan Law doesn't require parents to do anything. The Coogan Law says that employers must set aside 15%.

[@MaryLoveJane]

The only way I can wrap my mind around it is that the assumption is the 85% being kept is being used towards the child’s current life/needs, it just rarely works out that way. Kind of like how child support payments are *intended* to help support the child’s welfare, but some parents will give their kids the bare minimum and then spoil themselves.

[@MaryLoveJane]

@@DavidKen878 no, I’m saying the portion being kept is usually not spent primarily on the child earning the money while they’re still a minor, it goes towards the whole family. Usually the parents will use the money towards things that are mutually beneficial to the child, like upgraded housing and transportation, but the child earning the money has little say in the decisions in most cases. And then when the child becomes an adult, the parents tend to keep most of what was bought while they were a minor.

It’s unfortunately not practical to have a child actor’s earnings blocked from parental use. Child actors are usually working full time hours. If you agree that parents need to be on set, then how would a parent be involved and present if they worked full time jobs, themselves? So while yes, the child is earning money for their family, their parents are also commuting, scheduling, and watching their child on set as their job.

[@Deus_ex_lucifina]

Legislation could require all child actor earnings to be put in a trust for when they turn 18, and parents can make a percentage off that as their manager…that’s already a pretty common practice. And while they are at it, enact stricter child safety laws and background checks on productions, as well as incentives to parents to have their child join SAG-AFTRA, which also limits how much a manager can make off actor earnings. It’s not a complete solution, but it’s in the right direction. Also, if you can’t make money independent of your child and still be able to monitor their safety and security, you should be at work and your child should be at school. Maybe that would limit child acting pursuits to high income families, but oh well. Children shouldn’t be working at all IMO, and the only industry that normalizes it also preys upon them.

[@hotwheels_1997]

It's 100% percent practical to have a child actor's earnings blocked from parental use! It's a parents job to earn money for their family, not the child's. So many parents work full time jobs while also having to pay for childcare. It'd be no different even if the parents have to work, they should have to have someone else or hire someone to be with their child on set, with the wellbeing of said child as their first priority. Parents only have to put in 15% of the money their child earns to be untouched until the child is 18. And since it should be the parents that have to provide for their families, there should be 85% of the child's money left and that is PLENTY to be able to afford to pay someone to stay on set and take their child to and from set when needed. Also, parents of non child actors have to make sure their child gets to and from daycare/school or they stay at home with their child while also working from home, etc. parents should NOT have the use of a child actor's money just because they want to get paid for doing what a parent is SUPPOSED to do. They're basically selling their child because they don't want to work themselves.

[@dempos]

@@hotwheels_1997 Nonsense. It would make no sense to have to hire someone to watch their child or have to keep working a regular job(s). Yes, like most already do, they shouldn't frivolously spend all their child's earnings and have a majority in savings. But to dictate how a parent is to parent or say the parents have to provide no matter what is just ridiculous.

[@mandys1038]

It is practical, parents make the choice to have their children in this industry and it is not fair that they get to utilize their children's hard earned money on themselves. Look at how many child stars have ended up suing their parents or complaining about how their parents spent all their earnings. There should be laws in place that kids earnings be put in a trust, at least half of it.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

@@mandys1038Buying a house they all live in is not ‘using it for themselves’ if the child is living there, using electricity and water, eating etc. that being said, I think there should. Be a federal law on percentage of use for ‘daily needs’ (including putting gas in the car to drive their kid to set). Not as their manager, but as their parent. I think the manager should actually not be the parent in most cases, but a seperate entity. The parent should be onset to observe and protect, not manage the kids career. And a portion of the kids salary allowing that to happen is fine.

And if they take time off to support their child’s career, they’re hurting their career long term. So it makes it almost impossible for a child without wealthy family backing them to become a professional. Is there any news or thoughts on this I’ve missed? I’ve just been curious lately.

[@dempos]

There isn't a problem with the way it is now for the decent parents. Like Raven and Chris'. The parents should have a savings for their children while being able to access it, if needed, to make sure the child has everything they need. The child should also be able to use some of their own money for things they want. Just should have mandatory wellness checks for the child and the family by a professional for social, mental and financial health.

Crazy how they got away with this for so long we were so blindsided😢

[@Liekmudkipz]

It’s crazy that it’s 2024 and parents can still spend their actor child’s paycheck

[@Otakugatothequeen]

Not an actor, but my folks would spend my cheques while I worked under their roof.

[@Liekmudkipz]

@@Otakugatothequeen might as well not work at all then and enjoy childhood

It's heart breaking what these babies went through all for someone else to get the power and money!

[@Kaelynjschneider]

I don’t like that she’s saying different cultures are more protective. It has nothing to do with culture. Everybody is protective of their children. It’s just specific people who are less protective due to their own circumstances! I’m mixed Alaskan native and white both sides of my family are very overprotective but specific people within each side had addiction issues or issues which would cause them to be over or less protective of their children

Chris not seeing the documents then saying that coaches screen was a little dismissive of abuse.. come on man

Is anyone checking on child stars today?

[@therockbottom5256]

These days Nobody is perfect, but Raven is notable enough to create real change.

[@JoycelynDeAnn]

I was literally just saying this. Looking back at it, you can tell their parents were involved. Just the fact of the jokes, the vibe of the show was way more family oriented. I feel the same way where my parents wouldn’t have let me out their sight.

[@gabrielgreenboy5733]

I hope the next documentary be about kids who been abused at school and it could be called “Quiet in Class” I would love to share that story with everyone so people would know bullying is NOT ok not even in a public environment in education

[@debidehm9129]

The child actor should also have a non partial representative that has the child’s best interest at heart. This might be a good position for ex-child actors who have the know how, knows what to look out for.

[@cali.girllivinnnevada8]

Paris, you need to protect your children, especially if they are going to LA or a.k.a. *Hollywood!!* but not only that children need legal protection as well. More needs to be done. Edit: Other states *NEED* to follow suit.

[@hill9948]

He should have watched the documentary to understand the full conversation that is being had around the industry. Yes, his experiences are valid, but he should really take the time to watch the show that has got the ball rolling on this topic again.

[@sassillama9873]

I must break it to everyone….Kids or anyone does not have to do acting in fact there’s many other things people can do making a living. Such as going to school, or having a job. Within those choices are a pluthera of options!

[@LeeKerr-gb4rc]

I think simone raven doesnt want to speak up because her family could be under fire... Something happened to her but she wont disclose probably from embarrassment or threats.

[@Vhlentine]

Never clicked so fast on your video! There needs to be change!

[@Notsbaby]

It is FAULSE that there isn't standard regulation for child actors on set. The regulation comes from SAG the union not the gov however. All of these child stars would of had, standard rates, maximum number of work hours, and tutors as per SAG. Unfortunately breaking these rules results in only fines/sanctions, boycotts from SAG and there would be no criminal charges against production

[@deannasoulpunk]

Poor Raven having to be around Bill Cosby 🙁

[@ZavaXavier]

Speaking like a true WS troll.

[@dempos]

But no one had a problem with Cosby. If anything, he was an example of a good work environment for children, cast, crew, writers and inclusion on a set. Thank God she got to work with Cosby first, before being on sets & shows for kids.

[@Jay-bo1gs]

They don't pay the background actors minimum wage either. Having no labour laws are being exploited for multiple types of workers.

[@missmarthafawker]

I actually thought the coogan law was national and a lot of people may think this. But actors also need to get there money at 21 rather than 18 although at 18 they should have a bigger allowance, but do it this way so the kids can have time to learn how to deal with money rather than spending a lump sum quickly……..

[@SkarGig]

Didnt everyone hate on Chris when he came out or was that Orlando Brown and I'm mixing them up?

[@goddammitalana]

How are you mixing them up they weren't even on the same network

[@GLET_theamateur]

its so silly and a real slap in the face how much the actually working person goes through before change is made. it shouldn't always have to come down to years long of court meetings to make a decision. it should come down to us more often. making changes as a collective party. i dont mean just voting. but life is what we make it. if someone can make up a leader and call them president, make new rules whenever they feel, that should be enough to say those rules dont apply in the world we live in anymore.

[@elle-says]

Its surprising to me that they have social workers as educators. Advocacy is inherent to the social work profession but not academic education. Social work is more aligned with counseling and therapy than education. Maybe an additional change should be reassigning the social worker as an advocate and counselor and have them partner with an actual educator.

[@lilianjenae]

The power has to remain in the state for checks and balances. The govmt f’s up everything. So if you don’t like a law or lack of a law bring it up to your state officials. They cannot ignore the issue if you bring it up to them. This stuff takes work and it’s not up to the federal govmt.

[@kimmyt1024]

They should make some sort of a guardians wage for the parents. I understand that they probably don’t have regular jobs if they’re on set with their kids. Give the kids their wage and pay the parents 10% of what they earn

[@Luminousmorrow]

We needs rights for children. It's extremely bizarre we live in a society where parents basically keep them prisoner.

I'm sick of it too It seems like they want change but won't tell us their own personal stories I believe they knew exactly what went on but have been silenced or paid off... The way raven says Dan's name tells me all I need to know.

This is hypocrisy, how could she said that and not say absolutely nothing about Orlando Brown situation? Do you guys think about that? Why hasn’t she done anything? She’s part of the whole circus 🎪 that’s why he’s insane and she’s still relevant.

[@Noturbfpanini]

Part of me wants to still look up to her and love her for so many things but Orlando has been trying to say lots of things about the abuse he's endured.. idk feels like we'll never really get the full truth from her & she's a bit hypocritical

[@should_probably_change_handle]

Raven probably didn't address Orlando Brown because his experience isn't theirs to tell. Also, we're unsure if they are on speaking terms; Orlando did say some messed-up stuff about Raven in the past. Honestly, people should let Orlando be and shouldn't force him; from what I've read, he's doing better and getting healthy; there's no need to reignite the trauma.

[@JimmyDeneus-e9k]

Is f up how this industry is

[@jas6207]

as a child i always had dreams to be a child star and all the glitz and glamour but im really glad i didnt i have very strong feelings my mother would have been a “i want my child to be a star” mother based on the fact we 1 grew up in poverty and 2 shes a drug addict narcissist

[@Noturbfpanini]

It's kind of conflicting because Raven is really close with Jojo Siwa who promised girls a whole career only to be lied to and mistreated by her & her mother. So is she advocating for the rights of those young ladies too? Idk maybe she's had talks with her about it behind the scenes...

[@Bradley-nn8it]

If some big time producer no matter what the industry was walked into a room and started yelling and cussing at me I would get up in their face and tell him get the fuck out of my face and get the hell out of this room because you're not gonna talk to me any which way you feel like talking to me. I'm probably one of those types of people that probably won't be well liked in the industry because I'm not afraid to speak my mind and no one's gonna shut me up

[@Elissa_Marie]

Drakes Bell’s dad kept him safe until he was pushed out of the picture. Drake’s dad was always close by and watched his son like a hawk on set to make sure he was okay and he wasn’t harmed. It wasn’t until drake’s mom took over when Brian peck talked her and drake into firing his dad. He even warned his ex wife about Brian peck when he was fired as drakes manager. He told her something was off and how he was acting weird with their son. She blew him off. I think it’s really sad she trusted a complete stranger rather than her son’s father who had been in that world with their son the entire time. I think she let her disdain for her ex husband get in the way of her judgement. Drakes dad was a good parent and protected him. Drakes mother on the other hand didn’t do anything to protect him. As soon as she took over drake was harmed.

[@ashhpink8939]

Drake Bell parents was clearly not watching him all of the time. Once his manager was able to replace his father as manager his mother, had no problem, sending him unsupervised with that man

[@ccxcrazy]

Kids working on set is not seen as child labour because these shows are big business and these production companies have influence in government and formation of laws. The government isnt working in the interest of kids, they are working in the interest of those who fund their election campaigns, give them gifts, etc.

[@tracymichelle2624]

Yes! Its crazy what some egg and sp3rm donors (because those people dont deserve being called parents) will do just to get their kids in the spot light. One of the Sacha Baron Cohen movies he did a social experiemnt where he made a false casting call for babies and saying stuff like "we want to put the baby in a pit of poisonous snakes for the pictures" and like 99 percent of the people went along with it. The things that he was saying is wild and some of the moms were just like 🤷‍♀️ as long as the check clears
