Tragic Details About The Culkin Family

[@kdub560]

It’s sad the media doesn’t tell you all the things the Culkins were going through, they just post terrible pics of them in there worst moments, strung out, and at rock bottom, or when they’re getting arrested.😞 i’m a former drug abuser and getting clean was the hardest thing I ever done, I still struggle with depression and self respect. I respect anyone who beat drug addiction.

True. Most stars get that treatment. Mostly former child stars who were pushed to the brink by stage parents and/or the extremely abusive Hollywood or music execs. My brother was a child actor in 1970 and he never got over it. He overdosed in 2009. I'm glad you got clean 🤍.

As someone who had an abusive biological father and repeatedly betrayed and abused by him when I was a kid, I can totally relate to the Culkin children. Growing up in a dysfunctional family is incredibly hard and traumatic that you carry its effects into adulthood no matter how much you want to move on, the scars are still there forever reminding you of your past. Its so sad that the media portrays Macaulay as a bad kid when in fact they're victims. I'm now a father too and only thing I learned from my bio father is how not to be like him.

You could view this as a tragic story, but I see it more as a survivor story. That family knows what it means to "overcome" tough times and situations. Sometimes these things break the family apart, but it certainly says a lot about a family that bonds and stays together, working through it all. I consider his father as one if those "tough times" they had to overcome. That's exactly how I view my mother. If anything, this is an extremely impressive story of a strong family...and there is nothing tragic about that!

[@iratze8552]

@@tubester4567 treated them special? But which abuser turned one of their victims into the guardian of his children? And the "victims" all turned out to be liars. Thats why the "leaving neverland" documentry accusing MJ is also a huge indicator that Jackson was innocent. At the end of this documentry they mentioned some child actors and said they were abused too. And one of them sued the documentry for that. And two of these children including culkin had already said that they were abused while working in the acting industry. So these children are well aware of the traumatizing experience. After jackson's death, these children who accused their abusers still say that Jackson never did any harm to them. One of them tweeted to Wade Robberson saying *At the end of your life, having a clean consicence matters more than all the money you earned* So yh, Culkin knows what child abuse is. And he said that it was michael who was a father to him in such instances. Culkin still visits michael's children. And Paris recently posted a lot of pictures with Culkin as well. So educate yourself well before jumping into conclusions.

A lot of what Macaulay went through in the press makes so much more sense now after seeing this. I was really young, so when people talked about him they made it seems as if HE was the problematic one. Now I realize he was just a kid who did not want to be taken advantage of and he was dealing with a lot of difficult stuff at an age where its really hard to find yourself plus navigate fame and fortune. He deserves to enjoy the life he earned for himself with the people he loves the most. I hope he and his family are having a very merry Christmas!

i know so many people that have named their sons after macaulie great actor ,great person

[@flukeman022]

I remember in the 90s when people say Mcculay was a spoilt rich brat seriously, what do we really know about other people's lives. So many people suffering even as adults and moved away from their parents. It's like school bullies they knew exactly what they did was wrong. If it happened to them they would've gone ballistic!

[@Greenpoloboy3]

Fame and money ruin so many people and mess them up. So many of these famous people are unhappy

[@piamessing4730]

His dad was my mum. I'm glad he has a kid and a great gf now. Love to all. Be safe and well 🌞🌻🌞

[@kira-zk6op]

Rory is lucky he was born last and when most of this mess happened he was a baby, but it still was hard for him growing up with people harrassing him thinking he was Macaulay.

[@zara1867]

yeah😟❣❣❣but God help them.because this movie was so helpful for so many children

[@susanjackson6521]

Write what you want. He is very talented. He just separates his acting from his personal life. That guy can act. I just wish he spent more time focusing on the acting.

[@kingdeadpool20]

he was the happiest with mj but the media always just keeps trying to bring mj down and sadly it worked he's dead now

[@DancingDevil89]

Um nah, they were weirdos.

[@ukiyo9281]

@@DancingDevil89 no

[@xobls]

@@ukiyo9281 yes, MJ touched alllll those little boys & the only people who were brave enough to stand up against him were silenced with MONEY. If he didn’t do anything he wouldn’t have paid people to shut their mouths, he would’ve defended himself WITHOUT payment.

[@lorimeyers3839]

Kind of how I feel about my sister in law and my niece. My niece is the only child my brother (or sister and I) ever had. My sister in law was an alcoholic and a narcissist. Drank while she was pregnant, smoked. Never read my niece a book, never did anything except admonish her for no reason whatsoever. Literally. My sister in law was and still is a piece of trash. Well, my parents and I helped raise her into the sweetest girl imaginable. All the while, sister in law was too concerned about her Botox, cosmetic surgeries, hair cutting and nail appointments to even think of her daughter. My niece to this day still had never even spoken about her mother. Quite frankly, she could care less about her. It’s sad in a lot of ways, but we’re just happy to have been able to raise my niece to be a good kid.

[@jdr9419]

Shouldn’t the doors have closed automatically behind her? It was a fire after all. Didn’t they have that kind of thing in these big buildings? It’s often skimping on safety, in these places.

[@kswisssss]

comma splice

[@pattiadams2764]

So sad. Such beautiful children.

[@viragmarton1812]

If you not ok with yourself alone, you shouldn't be in a relationship.

[@KermdoubleO7]

damn you grunge, you always get me with stories.

[@TnT_F0X]

Michael Jackson had some demons... But if you hear Macaulay and their relationship, he honestly did seem to have a positive effect on him and helped with the child actor thing.

[@jaybreacher4430]

The only demons michael had was his pain killers addiction. He never harmed a child ever. This man was beaten and crucified beyond the limit of human capability. Rageaholics michael Jackson rebuttal three part series on KZbin explains it all.

[@saardcv]

@@jaybreacher4430 amen!!

[@girlette]

@@jaybreacher4430 Thank you! People be forgetting MJ has been proven innocent and was constantly lied upon even after his death. But truths prevails since those lying scumbags don’t have the facts on their side but MJ does. Also f*ck MJ’s doctor and those medication pills that nobody helped him with.

[@lisakvieira9201]

I've watched Home Alone every Christmas pretty much great, funny movie!!❤🎄☃️

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too.

[@danielhernandez2942]

HOW $$$$$ CHANGES PEOPLE.......EVEN FAMILY.......!!!

[@christineparis5607]

Especially family...

[@jillwang5070]

0:22 I wonder why they wanted to have seven children when they struggled to make ends meet?

[@NothingMatterz]

I met Macaulay in 2002. Normal guy just out for a beer like anyone else on the lower East side at the time on a Friday night.

[@eej1983able]

So sad 😞 I'm grateful he's doing well now. Home Alone and My Girl are my favorites 😍

[@prankgirl9112]

Even if MC was molested by MJ, he wouldn't say anything because it would just make everyone hate him.

[@jodylehman920]

How sad!!!! Life goes on!!!! And they got this!!!

[@meyerj75]

I can see where he's coming from. I always saw my father as like an older brother. Not my father.

[@andrewgordon235]

Let us all be thankful for the families we have, Wow!

[@freddytang2128]

Maybe Im speaking with hindsight bias from year 2021, but come on, possessing a little marijuana isnt even that bad. Its not like he was addicted to crack or selling crack.........I was expecting something a lot worse for the drug possession part. Poor guy, really feel for him

[@AntiMasonic93]

I met Macaulay Culkin's brother in 2007. He was a cool guy.

[@starsin54]

Whole family is down to earth! Which brother did you meet?

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Omg, I didn't know about everything the family had to go through... Home Alone is innocent and funny (and I love it that Trump is there), but I'm so sorry he had an abusive father... That's tough...

[@DancingDevil89]

You’re weird.

[@imakeplaylists159]

If Disney/fox wants to reboot the home alone franchise they should get McCully in as like a dad and have him forget his son home alone that’s the only way to properly reboot it not having buzz as a stereo typical cop and a cry baby as the kid home alone

[@MookBaylock]

This is nuts, I had no idea. Poor kid(s)….

[@bresams2917]

Well this was all over the place. Milkauly will always be apart of kid's of the '90,s lives. Including me❤️

[@selwaa.h]

xmas wouldn’t be xmas without watching Home alone! 😎

[@pipsf5408]

No wonder he’s had such a trouble childhood, fame and money doesn’t buy happiness

[@drearperry8727]

He was most likely molested too.

[@marinababy4240]

Sad i always thought that Macaulay was the happiest child in USA

[@drewed1781]

I knew there was dysfunction, but I am so heartbroken to know about this level of it. I'm not going to like jump the rope-lines or hassle one of them if I ever see them like a rude horrible fan, but I wish I could just tell any of them that it might help, that I was abused by my father too and it sucks- and we could like hang out and have a cheeseburger and beer or something and share survival moments. Which are .. you know, marked by things like cheeseburgers and beers. You know. As they are. I hope they have people to chill with now. With a cheeseburger. and a beer.

[@BooksbyAFoster]

Prayers for them...

[@tonyahenry8166]

Home alone is one of my favorite movies 💕💕💕💕

[@galaxytraveler5779]

And as Hollyweird goes, i wonder how many directors or other celebrities had their way with him.

[@ubertony4082]

I saw home alone as a 6th grader in theaters. Myself and 5 other students earned a field trip to see the movie. Yes back then you can go to field trip with teachers. I don't know about present day. Home Alone runs every holidays in our household. A classic.

[@joellennon6736]

Ever since it's intitial it's been basically a holiday staple of a movie, I don't think I've meet a person in my life who wasn't at least familiar with HA

[@erk44]

Theres a big fat price tag on giving happiness to others. But ppl wont tell you that
