Why do so many ‘child stars’ become mental basket cases?.....................
Because they are often abused by predators producers and actors and directors and studio heads.
Most of these child actors and actresses are corrupted, abused, intoxicated, medicated and/or drugged during their ramp up to their 20s and introduction into adulthood. It continues into their 20s. The earlier one starts to abuse drugs and alcohol the harder it is to get a solid hold on how to live is my understanding.
They are abused, raped, molested and generally victimized by Hollywood/entertainment industry pedophiles. This leads to drug and substance abuse.
Where have you been? The Epstein case brought this to public view. It has been going on for a long time. There are a lot of evil people in the entertainment industry. Some are Satanists.
Conspiracy theorists believe some were part of MK Ultra experiments.
Child rape, drugs, and abortions most likely.
It's almost as if the lefties in Hollywood have something to do with kids acting super traumatized after spending time with them.
Imagine peaking in your teens, almost royalty status, and then losing it all in your 20s.
