No one held a gun to these people’s heads and forced them to get into Hollywood. They willingly did it, and most of them made enough money from a few roles that would easily let them retire safely for the rest of their lives.


in her case, she was 10 when remember the titans came out (so 8ish when it was shot) and started her career at 6

She was also the star of scream 4, who made those movies? Harvey Weinstein

I am a gambling man, my 401k is on that she had a pretty dark trip thru hollywood

lol

maybe a "birthing person", but "mom's" don't go full on crazy, magically become gay or bi, be forced to give up your kid to your ex husband......who lives in a warzone, and then write a book about your "life adventures" even before you're 36.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for this lunatic? At least she didn't kill her kid so that's a big plus.

A lot of the ones worse off mentally are the ones that started as young children. I’d say getting used as a cash cow and abused by the adults around you would frick a kid up.

Even a perfectly fine young acting career without “abuse” would screw a kid up- separated from cohorts and normalcy.

I would imagine the really young ones have one or both parents on the scene with them.

CIA had a documented "heart attack gun" well back into the 70's. No telling who could have one now.

Jabs have caused a lot of heart issues as well.

Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of stories that the parents aren’t much better… when your child is your paycheck and claim to fame, shite has a tendency to happen.

Yeah there is no CIA conspiracy against Hayden Panettiere

Its likely an overdose from reports

In her case, her Mom was a soap opera actress that basically pushed her kid into the business.

And they were feeding her pills to keep her "peppy" when she was in her teens.

No shock to anyone that she ended up having addiction issues. It's incredibly sad.

She started appearing in commercials when she was 11 months old. She was a full-time actress on Guiding Light by the time she was 7 and was voicing a major character in movies (A Bug's Life) by the time she was 8-9.

She had a whole arse Hollywood career by the time she was 12. She was homeschooled after middle school.

And they were feeding her pills by the time she was 15.

There's a reason so many of her peers in Hollywood and of similar fame have died at this point. And what makes it even more sad is she tried to get help and tried to walk away from it.

Those kids get thrown into an adult world, usually deviant ones, usually with overbearing parents who don't have their best interests at heart...recipe for disaster



Too much is put on the Hollywood environment imo. Obviously it's not a great upbringing, but the loss of stardom has to be even more devastating to those who don't truly 'make it'. Like, imagine accomplishing the greatest thing you'll ever do by age 20.

You think you're the next Drew Barrymore in 2009 and then literally everything goes wrong over and over again for the next 17 years. It has to be a brutal existence.

It actually does check out.

Odds are she suffered from borderline personality disorder and an anxious attachment style due to abuse at a young age. This is the case for most models and actresses and tends to be what drives them towards those roles if they even chose it for themselves.

It’s rather sad, but also a remember to everyone to never ever ever date models and actresses.

A lot of people have life stories like this. Sometimes people have success early in their careers -- maybe a person is a GM at a major business early in his or her career or a big deal in some legal or medical field -- then a family illness, natural disaster, car wreck or some other event throws everything into turmoil.
I'm not coming down on Panettiere....just saying those developments happen to many people.

Before I judge any of these people or stories, I always ask myself how my dumbass at a young age would have handled it. Spoiler, it wouldn’t have ended up pretty
