Just as a sidenote. What sort of fucking parent allows this to go on? If I hear someone can't be trusted around my kid, we are out the door faster than you can imagine. I am NOT risking that. I'm not waiting and seeing if "by accident" something happens.
Entertainment industry parents are the kind of people who should have gotten neutered like we do with dogs.

Yeah, if any of my friends ever have their kids try out for movies or commercials, I would ask them point blank "why do you want your kid to be raped?". Because unless they are going to be the kind of parent that's literally always with their child no matter what, it is a non insignificant possibility. An inevitability, even.

Also, why do it in the first place? A 5-year-old's need to perform in front of people and get attention can be fulfilled in ways that don't end with them being raped by producers, get groomed into having no self-worth or hangups about debasing themselves for money, get perverted stalkers who call themselves fans and fantasize about them online ("shippers"), lost privacy for life, getting addicted to meaningless, hedonistic luxury, develop mental health issues, get horrific "beauty" treatments done, etc.
Like what's wrong with small children performing on a small scale, things appropriate for their age (no sexual stuff, no horror, no psychologically fucked things, etc.), with other kids, in ways that don't impede on normal kid life?

Recently we had a child actor/performer on TV here. Now we are a small country, but she somehow ended up performing in some things alongside worldwide actors like Luke Evans, I think.
The kid doesn't fucking sound like a child. She sounds like a mini 30-something career woman and she is pre-puberty.

Money. Narcissism.

Because they're empty, hollow people who rely on external validation rather than self-confidence?

Some parents want to live vicariously through their children. And there probably are some who genuinely just want their kids set up well financially before they grow up and honestly don't know how pervasive this issue is.

Wouldn't surprise me if they kept the parents in the dark and threatened Michelle that she'd lose her job if she made an issue out of it.

The real question you have to ask is WTF is wrong with the adult crew who all knew about this and their response was "Well let's just not let him be alone with her, that's an acceptable solution to this"?

Media people would do anything for their empty, shiny world. I have no love for any of them.
It's funny how in Hollywood everyone is a strawng womyn, but they are mentally brought into this cult where they would do anything just to be allowed to be actresses. They justify it by "but I want to act, it will make me happy for sure" when they are told to do disgusting things.

But think of all the moneys they get for prostituting their children. Totally worth it, no? /s

On a serious note: As with women that happily pleased Mr. Weinstein when it looked like a chance to bolster their career, a lot of parents will put up with some truly disgusting behaviour, because doing so guarantees their child will be the money-making property they always dreamt of and not the child of parents that actually love it.

Then again, look at how many children got absolutely wrecked by Hollywood. Do you think children barely at puberty become addicts, overdose, kill themselves or just "magically" die of seriously fucked up shit because of no reason?
You can blame women for everything, from inflation to stubbing your toe, but a 12-year-old doesn't start doing drugs because of no reason. Again, you will come up with some convoluted story about how women are behind it all.

I specifically don't give a shit about Whedon. Like I don't give a fuck if he goes or stays. Now again, you will claim the New Vagina Order plan involves bullshit film people, when we have everything, from electron cheating and an overblown intentional virus to do whatever anyway.
The lunatic left already has government power.

It's not at all suspicious when a man keeps saying all men rape and need to die to turn out to be a perv. It must be the women lying.
Also, men need to protect other men who would throw them under the bus and do so every day, because what you guys need is being just as retarded as feminazis are.

If your theory is true, good. The industry is owned by a bunch of champagne communists. Let it burn.
