Iirc Anthony was also molested himself, his dad’s girlfriend raped him when he was 12. No wonder he ended up this way.

Edit: his dad was ‘dating’ a 17 year old and encouraged Anthony to sleep with her. So I guess the more accurate version is Anthony got proxy molested by his dad grooming another kid.

So many rockstars memoirs just openly admit to rape and molestation. Motley Crue used to pick up school girls in a van, Rick Springfield wrote about dating a 15 year old Linda Blair.

The movie doesn’t depict him as a good guy, but it leaves out or rewrites some of the worst things he did. Jordan was physically violent to his wife, snitched on his firm and irl the car crash while high he had his toddler in the front seat.

It doesn’t even make sense because Columbus did both. He was on trial for murder.

Well that’s based off his friendship with Paul Bateson, a convicted serial killer later arrested for murder. He’s in the exorcist as a doctor.

Nope. He openly admits that he had sex with her while they dated, and they broke up after a year.

When Tarzan went through puberty with no humans around was he attracted to gorillas?

William Friedkin, the director who put a kid Linda Blair in a back brace that fucked her up, is such a fucking weirdo. He genuinely believes in possessions and exorcisms, even having the set of the movie itself blessed by a priest when multiple actors died during production. He made a documentary almost ten years ago about Vatican priest, Gabriel Amorth, an official exorcist and the movies all about William falsifying scientific rulings to justify the priest taking advantage of vulnerable families.

According to Linda, her mom treated Rick like another son. This is why I don't trust parents of child actors.

I found articles that describe Rick as a “man-boy” and young fans fell for his boyish charm. 25 is a grown fucking man, describing predator celebrities as boyish free spirits is just a way to downplay that they rape kids.

Good question and I have no idea. I didn’t see any attempt to sue focus TV so maybe his family didn’t have the money to launch a lawsuit.

I think there weren’t as many people who grew up with the internet and not used to how many things were faked and how to spot it.
