Top Comments of this video!! :3
Somehow, Wilmer Valderrama pops up in several stories of young female stars who were very vulnerable. Mandy Moore (who again landed in the cycle of abuse in her later marriage to Ryan Adams), Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato all dated this man when they were minors or barely 18. To quote Demi 'I feel like that says it all'.
All the women mentioned have struggled in their personal lives as well as in the industry, while the men keep thriving and see little to no consequences.

I grew up with this era of Disney and loved Demi's music and everything she starred in. I'm in my late 20s now and I was gobsmacked when you said that everything I remembered her doing happened in the span of *two years*?? That's so insane and heartbreaking to hear a literal child being stretched so thin. It's no wonder they had such a bad mental break, how could any adult in her life be shocked

Its so sad to learn that the people that were your idols growing up were living in absolute misery. At the time I was well aware that they had to live by very strict rules but no way would I ever have guessed they were exploited the whole time. Even more heartbreaking that they gave millions of kids so much happiness while being denied theirs.

I canât believe her team thought that that amount of control would help. Addiction/controlling behaviour STEMS from something. Why canât people understand that. You canât deal with this shit on the surface level. âJust stop drinking.â Right. Trying to stop an addict/alcoholic in this way is gonna make them feel more a freak, alienated, isolated and misunderstood.

Demi's story is hearbreaking and it makes me think of the kids that are being exploited on family vlogging channels. Their lives are controlled, they work everyday (yes, it's work even if their parents claim it isn't), they don't get paid for their work but the money they help generate supports their family. In the few instances where family channels have removed their kids from their content, their views (and corresponding income) has dropped so the kids soon end up back in the vlogs. The kids participation is what pays for the roof over their head and puts food on the table. All the while having their every childhood tantrum and mistake blasted on the internet; no happy moment shared privately with their family; having sickos watching them; having people passing judgement on them. So messed up.

I feel like so many child stars end up becoming the breadwinners of their families, and that's just so crazy to me. I just feel like even if your child is earning lots of money from acting/singing/whatever, it should still be the parent's responsibility to provide for them and care for them (I know that obviously there are circumstances where parents struggle to be able to afford the costs of living, but even then i still feel like the responsibility shouldn't be handed over to the child/ren)

I was drinking wine, crying, and feeling seen by Demi's story. I don't have an addiction as intense as Demi's, but I definitely have a reliance on substances to help me through this tough patch in my life. It encouraged me to face my pain and my habits more. Love your content. Thank you for the work you do. Always wishing you and your family the very, very best.
