I would bet she was molested as many child stars are unless someone was watching out for her. I have heard rumors but won’t further them.....
That does seem to be the case with many child stars, both female and male.
The rumor I heard was that The Fonz, Henry Winkler, abused her when she was a young teen. Others tried covering for Winkler but she cried that she was only 16 when he took her. That guy should have been jailed.
