Fun fact, at the Oscars that year, Jennifer Lawrence stood up in her chair and yelled "Justice for Moist" during the Best Actor award. The Hollywood elite tried to scrub that moment, but the real ones remember.
Yeah, if you look right before the clapping, there's an audio cut where the entire audience chanted "Critical! Critical!" But it has since been cut out and replaced
People get mad at actors or actresses for speaking out 15-20 years after but don’t realize they waited until they had enough power to have their voice heard and have it not ruin their lives. Now imagine how many young actors like her never become AAA actors with power and just quietly leave the industry or even if they don’t never reach the level of prominence to be able to speak out against it
@@PeacefulJoint you’re right they should’ve done it right away where they would’ve been called a gold digger looking for a payout by people like you and been blacklisted by Hollywood and ruined their chances towards a future career just for nothing to happen and no one to believe them and for the person to be able to target others in perpetuity until someone else gets enough power to be able to confront the situation without fear of losing their whole livelihood. Just cause you have no ability to understand how power dynamics play into the fear and shame around these types of situations doesn’t mean you have to actively try to discredit the experiences of others.
@@PeacefulJoint you literally didn’t even read my comment. You’re literally saying they should ruin their lives in order for the person to be able to continue to assault others. If they come forward as a young actor with no power people like you are going to shame the hell out of them for trying to exploit the poor powerful person. You don’t have any idea how hard it is to admit to situations like this without having a bunch of attention on you much less with thousands of people calling you names and actively seeking to discredit you for daring to try to speak up. On normal cases of SA it can sometimes be years before the victim has mustered the courage to be able to seek justice. What you can do to not be a piece of shit is not make the process harder on them just because you don’t understand it.
I’ll tell you a short story.. I tried to get into modeling when I was 13. My mom found an agent and took me. He asked if he could have the room with me without my mom and my mom left! He started immediately acting creepy to me. He touched me and was telling me if I didn’t do it then I wouldn’t be a model. It was gross. I stopped after that.
Can we please talk about the masses of bots that are obviously attacking Penguinz and how its odd that only the RUclipsrs who bring out the dark side of the very real Plutocracy we live in seem to be attacked by massive bots? I am so very terribly surprised a thin, beautiful girl, who is upcoming talent is asked into a 3way. Just like how I am surprised that there is only 1 Jeffery Epstein island. Or how many uncharted islands there are where there could be more Epstein islands. Or that obsessively wealthy people in power are often predators. I am so terribly surprised by all of this. :o See? Thats my surprised face guys. Are you guys ready to get your pitchforks yet? I got one hanging on the wall ready, with a golden plaque. Not even kidding. No pitchforks? Nobody cares? Okay lets move on to the next video then, we can do it later.
And this happened to Grace, who’s the daughter of Casper van Dien (lead from Starship Troopers, and some other movies over the years). Imagine what happens to a complete rookie, with no contacts, no power in Hollywood-land at all.
Anyone being surprised that so many actors choose indie projects over AAA movies (like Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson for example) should open their damn eyes. That's the reason. They want to focus on their craft and not shady inside politics.
Pattinson mostly wanted to get out of Twilight image as he himself hates that franchise. He and Kristen Stewart decided to choose to play Indie movies for a while until they make huge comeback in Hollywood with Pattinson becoming new Batman and Stewart played Princess Diana in Spencer and even got nominated as Best Actress at Oscars 2022. Meanwhile, Taylor Lautner made a huge mistake by playing in Box Office movie called Abduction which later bombed and lost his spotlight for years and even appeared in Adam Sandler Movies.
I was a theatre major last year and all of acting profs talked VERY highly of Charlie's role in The Hunger Games, truly an inspiration to us all and a master of his craft

In normal labor standards, an employer who sexually propositions their employee would be fired for sexual harassment. The fact that Hollywood gets away with this daily even post-Weinstein just makes me physically sick. Like does fame make people into disgusting creeps or were they always creeps who just so happened to receive the power to exert these desires onto powerless victims?
Good question. It's been proven that people who are a part of the dark triad become the most successful people no matter how superficial. It goes to show just how unnatural all of this is...we shouldn't be idolizing other humans & consuming all of this material made-up crap. If evil people get to the "top" it's because it's not right!!!
There is also problem that every person who fear the Boss and an actual victim like her, there is 3 person offering their body just to get a better role, and i don't mean they accept their boss invitation but they actively suggesting the act for their own benefit.
@bluijay No, that has not been proven, in any capacity, and this is one of those myths that need to die. In fact, most people with a dark triad trait are essentially leeches because they lack the conscientiousness to maintain a normal job. A few of them making it to positions of power doesn’t mean anything.
Corey Feldman has tried to tell people for years about the creepy stuff that goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood and people ridicule him for it. It's like a huge open secret. I think a lot of people in powerful positions don't want to do anything about it.
The same happened with Courtney Love when she got interviewed and tell the press to not to go to any party with Harvey Weinstein in 4 seasons a long time ago but since she's a weirdo and also a junkie, nobody take her seriously. Same with Seth Macfarlane when he was reading the nominees for Best Supporting Actress, he said "Congratulations, Ladies. You are free from Harvey Weinstein" or something but nobody take him seriously because he's just a guy who created Family Guy.
I think the best example of how awful Hollywood can be is Dan Schneider. He preyed upon children and young teens for years, worse than what Disney puts their child/teen actors through. I'm genuinely happy to hear Grace is focusing on a hobby that's healthy and fun for her. Getting to chat with fans while playing your favorite game sounds like a nice way to spend your time rather than getting creeped on by predators.
you think hollywood is doing sex abuse? cuhlearly you believe in qanon that's a genuine argument people have, that anyone that speaks out about sex abuse in hollywood is a believer in qanon, it's an excuse to censor the fact of what people go through
Hats off to Grace for speaking up. Too bad the people chose to criticize Sydney Sweeney and Jenna Ortega when they spoke up about the same horrible experiences.
Typical woman whining/lying about the smallest thing; I’m sure this is not at all to boost her channel and collect more simp bucks. Absolutely pathetic
@@Level.2.Gigapod imagine believing and supporting the Hollywood elite 😂 because there’s such a wonderful precedent for there being absolutely no abuse of power in Hollywood. Definitely no convicted rapists and endless stories of sexual coercion. But sure, the man is the ‘victim’ in all this 🙄
It's not just in Hollywood though. It's wherever there is wealth influence and power. Degenerate behavior is apparent and extends to business moguls, politicians, athletes, and so on.
I used to do acting, and as soon as I started reaching the professional level I stopped. The first professional project I was in (a big role with a budget of over a million) the director was touching me and holding on to my arms during rehearsals in the same room as all of the other performers. Did the other actors give a fuck? No, they just want to be successful, because thats what it takes. I still work in the industry, just not as a performer anymore, and as a rule I don't trust anyone until I really know them, I make it clear that nobody fucks with or disrespects me, and remember that narcissist are very real. If you speak out about everything, you will very quickly be ganged up on by NPCs who just want to please people in the industry, so I have to be very careful with the battles I choose. Even then, I've had people say I have a 'superhero complex' or whatever kind of personal attack they can think of because of this (I've learned that personal attacks and rumour spreading are their primary weapon as it requires no evidence and it doesn't even have to be true). Fuck the film and television industry, and yes, it is as bad as you think.
Hello there. I also have a friend (she went to USC Cinematic Arts) yes, that "couch" you know what is the normal in that industry.. she regrets her major now lol
And that poor chick has also been dealing with a harassment campaign and death threats for the last year from Joseph Quinn stans just for playing a role. She's been put through hell between that and this.
Not going to lie, after the Terry Crews situation, I 100% believe every actor/actress until proven otherwise. Dude is a massive sweetheart, and buff as fuck. If he got harassed, nobody on this planet is safe.
Abusers feed off of power, the guy who touched him didn’t care that terry was a big dude, he knew he had more influence and power than terry and so knew he was safe from justice, too bad for him that terry didn’t stay quiet

@@Level.2.Gigapod Fun fact, copy-pasting your aggro comment as a reply to a bunch of other comments makes people assume the worst about you. I sure do.
@@Level.2.Gigapod you expect women to walk around with body cams and record every conversation? Also, whose life is she ruining she never named the creep.
As an aspiring director who is a man, it’s really scary to me that even if I make it into my desired career and am so lucky as to not be preyed upon, I still may be expected to be complicit or silent about such things happening around me or on my sets lest I sacrifice my own career and any chance to make a living with my art. Hopefully a massive reform is coming soon.
Dude, I dont care if I sound wacky now, but Hollyweird has a spiritual problem that no reform will fix...this industry is demonic and I mean this literally. I am not saying every single person in it is evil but so many people have talked about it who were in it. Some people have no clue about spirituality, but it all makes sense when you know the laws of energy and what prevents people from saying names (apart from fear). Its not a coincidence, that at the top of so many producing companies, people are perverts and pedos. Creative people dont just happen to turn into weirdos the moment they get rich. Most of them get rich because they made a deal before or because they are born into these sick circles. Selling soul is real and you can get power from it, but you have to give back and feed what you serve...its always the same kind of thing evil feeds of: negative energy, but mostly negative sexual energy and the younger the victim the better. And look at the media...what do we see? The promotion of all things foul and perverted more and more. Everything is meant to be "normalized". Also the topic of sacrifice...in all cultures around the world, human sacrifice was/is a thing. People would have stopped that ish a long time ago, if it wouldnt have any effect cause its a hustle and risky, but we only hear about it from non western cultures still. Its happening here too but on a more "sophisticated" level. Why do people wanna make it in Hollywood? Its not always need for creative expression...its also vanity and greed. The very things our ego wants and who is waiting for our ego to act up the most? Demons. If you make it, then dont fall for it and it wont come at you in an obvious way at first anyway. I heard several smaller actors and comedians, who have very young kids now, say "Before I had my kids, none of these bigger actors/producers ever invited me over, no matter how successful my last set was and how good we got along at a party....but now I was invited several times and they always said: "Make sure to bring the kids" " That is weird to me.
Brendan Fraser also had this issue for a couple of decades and he was blacklisted for no reason which is completely asinine. What’s going on right now in Hollywood is just completely disheartening, disgusting and disgraceful and I’m really concerned about their future if no one takes action. Also Grave Van Dien deserves better (who is absolutely one of the nicest human beings) than working with perverted, egregious bosses in studios that want to use women as objects. Like WTF!
Hollywood was using women as objects before any of us were alive. Marilyn Monroe was just one of countless many who were used by the system in the old days.
Brendan Fraser’s story will ALWAYS break my heart. I met him when I was 20 and he was such a teddy bear of a man. It pisses me off that someone could be awful to him 🥺
After learning about what happened to Jennette McCurdy a.k.a Sam from ICarly and she decided to retire from acting for good, I can understand why Hollywood is a dangerous place.
If I'm not mistakenly Jennette McCurdy didn't actually retire from acting for good, she retire from acting for now but, she say that she might go back to acting in the future. But, for right now she isn't going back to acting.
@David Lyle (TheIronLion501) Jenette had a ton of eating disorders because of her mother, she was obligated to work because that money was carrying her whole family and she probably got something done by Dan Schneider, as she pretty much supported Amanda Byrne's claims about him back then on Vine. She's now a director, producer (I think the last stuff she has done acting was because she was in control of things), she also writes and has (or had) a podcast about mental health speaking with other actors.
@David Lyle (TheIronLion501) the icarly director also had an undisguised fetish going on, asking for feet pics from fans who all thought it was just weird and funny bc kids, and put the actors in awkward position, such as the repeated kissing scene practice between jeanette and that male lead guy. I read the book, and the director was upset with jeanette for not making the whole thing sexy. Jeanette was a child, and didnt really feel great going through that. But she felt like it was something to be ashamed abt and that it was her fault, not the fcked up grown ups around her. The hush money nickelodeon offered her says it all
i’ll never forget watching corey feldman’s interview on some talk show where he was talking about innocent children being SA’d by big producers (himself and late co-star corey haim being victims when they were children, mind you) and Barbara Walter’s immediate response was “you’re damaging an entire industry”. literally made my skin crawl when i first watched it.
It’s one thing how Oprah did that ridiculous interview with the Markles and she made a fool of herself by going so easy on them. But what Walters did was unforgivable. Walters was always someone I enjoyed listening to but she can kiss my a$$ now.
If his claims were false then yes he would be. And the way he was orchestrating everything came off very fishy back in the day. He was refusing to release any info until he got paid pretty much, which is weird and wrong. Corey is a bit nuts, I believe bad things happened to him, but lets not pretend how he went about exposing people was great. He couldn't have done a worse job quite frankly. It came off like a book/band promotion for himself. Even Haim's mother was asking him to stop talking about her son.
@@cmg8376 Corey is super fishy. He is probably not wrong but the fact that he demand more money for the "truth" to come out means he is just as bad as the industry he want to attacked
I work in the film industry and can confirm, ALOT of the sets I work on are filled with drama of everyone sleeping with each other and crazy rumors and allegations of shit exactly like this, and like you said, some of these people feel like they have to play along because they wont find/get any more work.
Finally someone is talking about this. Thank you so much Charlie for spreading this information I feel like no one talks about how corrupt Hollywood can be so again I thank you for talking about this serious issue. There is also an insane amount of drugs that runs like water in Hollywood I have a friend who is a upcoming actor and he told me he went to this after party for a film he starred in im not sure what movie it was but he played a very minor character and he said that there were lots of drugs at that party and everyone was high out of their minds. I’m thinking of becoming an actor myself. I’m fresh out of high school and it’s something that does interest me but I have to be aware of the dangers of Hollywood as well. If I ever don’t feel comfortable I am leaving to do something else I recommend to anyone that goes through harassment in this industry to please leave and do something else you won’t be happy if you stay.
This is why I can’t help but laugh whenever Hollywood tries to assume the moral high ground on any political/social/cultural issue. They actively enable creeps like the guy Grace was talking about here, and they blackball anyone who calls them out for it.
Good for her for stepping away from acting and keeping her own health in mind. I respect that. Alot of actors force themselves through these situations and its super sad to see.
I used to work in the movie industry, started off as a sales agent, went on organizing multinational coproductions. Getting financers on board was one of my tasks. Pretty much at the start of this I had a meeting with an absolutely filthy rich man overseas at his hotel. I was pretty nervous since he's a big fish and I was fairly young and inexperienced for this position though I tried as best as I could not to show it. Had a new suit made, had my pitch and numbers memorized and took a deep breath. When I entered the room of that very luxurious hotel I was more than shocked to see the disgusting mess he had made and didn't bother to clean up before the meeting. He himself was sitting on a sofa wearing only his underwear and a white tanktop that had half of his belly showing and also had food stains on it. I was thinking that he had no need to show his richess because it was clear that this guy was the real deal. I looked past it and went on with the pitch after greeting each other. Shortly after I started he told me that he doesn't care about what I have to say. He wasn't going to invest a penny. At least not for the reasons I tried to present. Instead he leaned in and requested that I sell him as a big producer to the actresses on the set and that he would like to meet them privately. It didn't take much to see where this was going. Needless to say we dropped this one pretty quickly. I talked with other - more experienced - people in the industry field about this. They said that for a lot of these really rich investors money doesn't actually matter that much. I'm not the one who's going to make them rich so I need to offer something that excites them instead. In the case of many investors that happens to be young naive actresses...
I’m in high school and I have a passion for film making and stuff like this scares me. For some reason, i am still determined to continue film, but this is so scared omg. There are so many sickos out there! I can’t even imagine how many victims
They won't, they can't. I remember hearing some insiders say that if you wanted to clean up Hollywood, there wouldn't be a Hollywood left at the end. And sadly, people speaking up actually makes things worse. Reports say that treatment of women Greatly worsened in Hollywood after the Weinstein situation. It's a lose lose right now
She's a smart girl, not like the rest of the actresses that did the threesomes, got the role, got paid and famous then started bitching about it, I have no sympathy for them.
Its not just not Hollywood, other entertainment industries have their own issues too like the anime industry in Japan works their animators to overwork to death literally.
This is why I roll my eyes whenever Hollywood lectures me about being a better human when it comes to their movies. Most of em are drunk on their own farts when it comes to moral topics but would happily ignore stuff like this behind closed doors. What a bunch of snakes. Hope she moves on mentally from that awful experience, she looks really uncomfortable telling what happened.
The term "Hollywood" encompasses a lot of people with wildly differing opinions--heck, one of their many hypocrisies is feeding the illusion that all our films are made exclusively in an expensive-but-progressive part of Los Angeles, California (or New York City for the free product placement everywhere). They will happily move production to a cheaper state like Texas just to avoid paying the extra cost of living in California that they can easily afford more than most Californians, while still expecting aspiring artists to move to the most expensive cities in the US and Canada, possibly even outside North America, too. Artists right now are fearing that AI will make it harder for them to break into Hollywood than it already is, meanwhile animation and VFX houses have long made getting an entry-level job into Hollywood impossible by choosing to outsource to impoverished countries like Taiwan and North Korea, where people are more willing to work 100+ hour weeks doing in between animations for Western productions all for a slave's wage. We are likely going to get more of these lectures tonight on these Oscars, and don't get me started on their quaint attitudes on animation, foreign film (especially Japanese anime and Korean dramas), comedies, movies not mainstream enough for the Academy, movies TOO mainstream for the academy (e.g. superhero movies), etc etc. The sooner we stop expecting even a small fraction of the "Hollywood" clique to relate to us plebs on any level, and the sooner Hollywood stops thinking making "relatable" social commentary is a good crutch in lieu of entertainment and good storytelling, the better.
@@JeffreyThrash Classic "rules for thee, but not for me" type of peeps. Their attitudes towards things you said like Animation, and foreign films are rooted to the fact that they are not in their 'circles' so they can't give the respect to what those genres deserve. I firmly believe there are good, well meaning people there, it's just really shitty to imagine that they have to adjust to such a predatory environment like this, having their jobs be dependent on how much they could be a "team player."
And hollywood always plays up to social politics to play on people's heartstrings to get more money. There's always talk about race, lgbt, feminism, ect. Its all a money scheme.
And the worst part is that now, all the higher ups have to do is say the right things, act like an ally, and everyone within the industry would defend them with their life, probably not paying attention to how toxic or exploitive they are. This video illustrates one of the reasons PG-13 and R shows with child main characters freak me out. It's bad enough when kids are criticized like they have an adults proficiency in acting, (despite also loving what they do and trying their best), but also, like in these situations, they have to act out someone's sick fantasies on and off set. I know that on stage it's likely all fake, and maybe actors 15-19 have the fortitude to handle adversity, but this can't be good for them.
She seems so gentle and sweet, shame people tear away at those types more often. They're really the best. Edit: I like how these guys are just bashing the woman even though sexual exploitation is known to run rampant in the film industry, and she didn't even try to use this for her benefit, simply to explain why she's finished with that work.
No, she seems like basic hollywood white girl. That same monotone drone voice, the same allegations. Not saying it's not true, but that's what I get from the clip.
@@vince3523 Apparently people are freaking out that barely-legal Ashley in Resident Evil 4 will have smaller breasts in the remake compared to the original, ignoring the fact that the only truly uncensored version of Resi 4 is the original Japanese GameCube version, and they likely played some variation of the PS2 version that toned down the gore a bit--and the remake still looks to be more faithful than the Facebook VR version, at least. There are definitely people who cannot handle even minor changes to their precious fictional female heartthrobs while being unaware they could get even kinkier stuff for free on the Internet, and thus must be avoided like the plague. I would assume most people who spend more time gaming than socializing, though, are simply too shy and afraid to say the wrong thing, especially to women, and are therefore harmless if they can't even muster up the courage to type into the livestream chat.
@@vince3523 I envy you. When I first looked up the Resi 4 remake demo on RUclips, it was just a bunch of videos of whiny guys complaining that Ashley's breasts are apparently smaller in the remake. I did not even notice that myself until I came across those videos because, well, I don't exactly play Resident Evil for the fan service (except Resi 8--you know why...), I play it for the goofy dialogue and zombie shooting, which looks to be intact for the remake. Honestly I think Ashley's face is prettier in the remake screenshots I've seen, too. Subsurface scattering and higher poly counts does wonders to a woman. If anything, I would be bothered if Ashley sounded less like Sandy Cheeks in the new version. If my mind doesn't conflate "Which one of you's the REAL Dirty Dan?!" with "Hey! Quit lookin' up my skirt!" after the remake, there's going to be trouble. Either way, just ignore those people, they sound like the kind of people that think the new Proud Family on Disney Plus is somehow more "woke" than the original--tell me you're a fake fan without saying you're a fake fan...
Let’s not forget about the OG truth speaker in Corey Feldman who spoke out and was basically laughed at along with being told he was hurting Hollywood because he spoke out
i’ll never forget watching his interview on some talk show where he was talking about innocent children being SA’d by big producers and Barbara Walter’s immediate response was “you’re damaging an entire industry”. literally made my skin crawl when i first watched it.
He's not even close to being the OG, this has been an open secret before Corey was even born. And quite frankly he just made the whole thing easier for people to dismiss as crazy with how he went about everything, especially when he was dangling the names and only willing to release them if he got paid. That didn't lend credence to anything and made it easier for people to pretend nothing was wrong and it was being exaggerated.
Also I saw a panel she did at a con a few months ago. I'm a big fan of the guy who plays Vecna (actor Jamie Campbell Bower) so I tuned in to their panel together on a livestream. The panelist ask if there was any roles they wished they got. Jamie said he missed a bigger role in Harry Potter. And it took a dark turn when Grace revealed a casting director mentioned to her a few years ago "that she wasn't to pretty and needed to fix her /your teeth". Which stunned not only the Vecna actor (Jamie Campbell Bower) but me as well because Grace is quite beautiful. She walks in a room and eyes would turn of how pretty she is. Geez, damn. Felt bad for her.
A couple of actors that immediately come to mind when I think about the rampant, sexual deviancy, that goes on in Hollywood are Elijah wood and Corey Feldman. I'll never forget what Feldman said in one interview concerning pedophiles in the film industry: "I was surrounded by them". He never names anyone because as Charlie mentioned: they'll be blacklisted... Creeps me tf out. These people are wild, feral, demons.

He's such an intellectual. He's not afraid to admit he's not only a brilliant actor, but his work is studied as a masterpiece. Such a remarkable human being. The world would be a better place if there was a community of individuals just like this man.
I used to want to be a part of Hollywood and filmmaking SO BAD...now I consider it a massive blessing that those doors never opened. It probably would have destroyed me as a person....probably not physically but likely morally.
@Im Caj I totally see it now. When you are youn and want fame or to pursue a famous passion like filmmaking you just think "it won't happen to me" but I am glad I didn't ever become a part of it. Hollywood would have ruined me
streaming must seem like a magical getaway compared to acting. you get to choose what you do, how you do it, when you do it, and who you do it with. in an acting gig, you have to stick with it even if it’s awful once you sign the contract
as someone with an acting degree i can confirm there was a whole unit dedicated to charlie's role in the hunger games, it was real hard hitting stuff will never forget.
Unironically, Charlie's role as District 8 Hospital worker is a prime example of superb background extra work, on par with "guy on bike" from the Truman Show and that kid who plugs his ears before the gunshot goes off in North by Northwest
We got to follow Jesus and keep from lust. Hollywood brainwashed society but Jesus preached the truth and the apostles witnessed him fulfill the Messianic promises. (For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. II Peter 1:16 NKJV) Love you all and God bless everyone ♥️
Just imagine all the talent we haven't gotten to see because they were too open about what they were going through. The people who could have been the next biggest stars are getting blacklisted from ever working in film because they don't agree with their boss. It's terrible to see people's dreams crushed because of something so disgusting.
Showgirls is a perfect example, the movie is awful but extremely accurrate and that whole film crew got pretty much blacklisted as soon as the movie released because of showing the true face of Hollywood. The film itself got blacklisted and they tried to prevent people from watching it.
And that's not even considering how much talent we don't see because they don't fit within the tiny narrow box that producers and casting directors want. Which is why every actor looks the freakin same. I saw an ad on a bus, just the face of the lead actress, could have been any of about six off the top of my head.
This is just how things are. Since we are talking Hollywood, getting a job as an actor/actress is extremely difficult. If a director approached you and said "suck my d!ck for 10 minutes, and I'll make you famous and a millionaire." I bet 99% of people wouldn't even think twice and would do it.
We need to make more people like Ke Huy Quan and Brenda's Fraser famous, they are such genuine humans beings and if there were more people like them in Hollywood it would be a much better place
her situation is messed up.. I'm glad she knows her worth and is choosing to be in charge of her own career instead of letting shit like that happen more and more.
I didnt even know. These bots are getting out of hand, anyone feel like bots are only on channels that call out the dark side of Plutocracy? Seems like only Hasan, Panguinz, and coffee are fairing the worse with these bots.

My ex wife and I are SAG actors... oh man, you have no idea how many times she was hit on, even Ben Affleck in on that list. Once they asked her for a BJ at an audition. I left Hollywood and I am happily producing and acting in my own film here in Brazil. It's horrible, and crap happens here in Brazil too, it's not just Hollywood.
Hearing what goes behind the scenes in Hollywood just makes me nauseous. I can't even imagine the absolute horrific shit that has happened over the years and the number of people that have gotten away with it
I remember when Wienstien was all over the news, and the MeToo movement was seen as a huge step towards change of the rampant harassment and exploitation that goes on in the industry. But, other than convicting Weinstien himself, there haven't been any changes to the industry since then.
Weinstein was a fall man/scapegoat. In retrospect, you can kinda tell from how all the news outlets focused entirely on him and not on other predators.
Yeah it's pretty frustrating to see how little has actually changed. The same ghouls that do this shit probably ended up producing several of the movies about this shit.
and how many years before Weinstein was exposed did the move Tropic Thunder come out, where Tom Cruise very publicly, yet unspokenly, mocked Weinstein. Literally everyone in the industry knew it was supposed to be Harvey but no one talked about it because of how much power the guy had.
Dave Chappelle said it best. All the women part of the MeToo movement did it all wrong. Instead of dressing in all black for the movement, they should’ve walked away from Hollywood instead.
Both of my parents worked in Hollywood and met a lot of stars. They both had people making advances on them, even when they were already a couple. They quit the industry because of it. They said that if you wanna make it big in Hollywood, you pretty much gotta do drugs and/or sleep around whether you consent to it or not.

@@andyc9902 Or a Hollywood Shill doing "Damage Control". The question I have is whether they're doing this directly on behalf of Hollywood - ie: they're literally paid to do this - or if they're doing this pro bono and hoping it pays off for them in some way.
the saddest shit is i remember not too long ago she was on twitter BEYOND excited about landing a rom com role, and now knowing that her boss in it made advances like that is crushing
The producer of The Amanda Show, a variety show aimed at kids in the early 2000’s, had a foot fetish. Keep that in mind if you watch old episodes of the show, because it’s pretty apparent.
I've had a few times where I was offered money for stuff I'd never do. I refused but I later found out alot of people that knew the guy was asked the same thing and they actually did what he wanted. Don't give up your moral for something like fame or money.
I've often wondered if it's even possible to "rise through the ranks" in Hollywood without being taken advantage of somewhere along the way. It makes me wonder in most (if not all) famous actors and actresses had to endure horrible situations in order to get the roles they procured, not because they weren't talented enough, but just because that was what was required to even get considered...
Wouldn't be surprising. And this in turn might explain why the bosses of the industry act like this. They were that newbie, once, and so now they understand they can get away with it and believe it is the way, take it out on the next newbie just like every other abuse cycles. Don't get me wrong though, i'm not pitying them or see them as victims the moment they do the same.
Im pretty sure there was a rumour about Jennifer Lawrence that she slept around to get famous. When she got her oscar people talked about how this is both her and Weinsteins achievement
I noticed many people, including popular music artists mention selling their soul. People often link it to satanism but I think they're more just talking about having to deal with horrible people to be able to succeed.
Knowing something, and proving it in a courtroom, are two different things, unfortunately -- and H'wood weasels usually have big money available for lawyers and PR.
I'm not a fan of Stranger Things (or almost anything non-Sonic related coming out of Netflix right now) but frick dude, no actors should have to feel violated like that. You go Grace, wish you the best at your streamer career!
I don't know. I wouldn't share my bad experience on any social media especially on that degenerate platform. She needs to go to her close friends, family and psychiatrist.
That exact thing happened to me at my first studio job as a concept artist. A more experienced girl on my team befriended me and then told me that the head of a department (Tech Art) keeps telling her to ask me to have a threesome. He was 42, I was 23 and feeling insanely lucky and privileged to have landed an industry job straight out of college. That sort of shit is asinine, especially in competitive industries where you're already constantly told that it's a miracle if you make it work. It's ripe for exploitation, especially of newcomers and young talent. And Hollywood is the absolute worst of the worst when it comes to that.
@@lemonywater2979 I'm a young man, who's indecisive sometimes and kinda awkward in social setting, if my boss were to ask me indirectly or directly I'd say no. Though I wouldn't be sure what to do if they threaten to fire me or anything on those lines for refusing. But if you're someone who doesn't mind it or is ok with doing it with your boss, go ahead. Edit: (as long as the company policy isn't against it, since there aren't laws against dating one's employer/boss/coworker).
@@escanormorph1883 I'm pretty sure it's still at least immoral (in most cases also illegal) to sleep with your boss, even if you're "ok with it" 💀 Shyness has nothing to do with it
this remind me and explains the situation that happened during the soad - lost in hollywood live in rio in 2015, the bassist Shavo Odadjian first prayed on the stage and then, during the song started crying on the scene as they played about how hollywood is not what it seems to be. brutal
Its a demonic industry and it always has been. Abuse, negative sexual energy, fear...all that mixed with greed, vanity etc...its the perfect storm of evil.
@@skeleton819I mean peeps can even be creepy in a corporate workspace But i guess random grown ass men being creepy in chat beats sexual exploitation from a retard Neanderthal.
I’ve seen a lot of people telling her to “bring receipts” and our them, but what Charlie also forgot to mention is that this very much sounds like an in person, verbal exchange. There’s really no receipts other than maybe the one eye witness. And that’s not enough. If she just calls out a producer or anybody for a verbal exchange, that’s a huge risk, and unless tons of other women come out sharing their experience (with receipts) she’d basically have put herself in a cage with wolves (I.e the man himself, his lawyers, character witnesses, kids calling her a clout chaser or really anyone in Hollywood desperately looking for a job)
That’s so stupid and belittling to ask for receipts, people who do that are just supporting SA at this point. They make it that there are no receipts and they had decades of experience.
Not to mention she can easily be blacklisted and not get work from anyone, there have been people who work In Hollywood and spoke up, but not always SA related. But been silence or out of the job due to their statement of what they experience. They could have spoken out on how underpaid they were on set now they don't have a job anymore.
Typical woman whining/lying about the smallest thing; I’m sure this is not at all to boost her channel and collect more simp bucks. Absolutely pathetic
@@Level.2.Gigapod I don’t think she’s planning to “ruin a man’s life” but it sounds like she gets asked pretty much on a daily basis when she’s going back to tv, or why she chooses to stream instead of doing more shows/movies. She spoke her piece and kept it moving. Everyone is so used to the digital age where everybody communicates 90% through text and are more than willing to incriminate themselves multiple times with multiple people, but it creates an inflated expectation of proof with every exchange. This is such an easily deniable situation even if it was a text (the producer can say that never happened, he wasn’t involved in the other woman’s plan, or it’s photoshopped and dismiss any case) so it’s obvious why she didn’t go any deeper
I thought after the me-too movement things would change but I guess toxic monsters still moving on. I'm very happy that Grace is standing up for herself
Why would it...? The Godfather author wrote about this shit in the SIXTIES! And it's been going on far longer... you don't overturn a century of tradition with a hashtag
The me too movement was literally just a smokescreen to shift the eyes towards others. And to get back at actors who probably didn't obey the higher ups of Hollywood.
@@PrimyFritzellz I don't personally believe in these "it's just a distraction" theories about certain events in our culture. However obviously some people do lose their jobs due to fabricated assault and harassment accusations, social media can run with these narratives and just make stuff up out if spite. So it really could be a tool to silence people and discredit people in some rare cases.
Me Too started off right, then was polluted. Amber Heard became the face of it. Then the entire thing was very focused on only a few people. A lot of people coming out but the were the victims of only 3-4 of the same men.
Me Too quickly went from going after scumbags to trying to exploit men who hadn't done what they were accused of but didn't have a clean enough reputation to hold up in the world of gossip. It was never going to root out the real corruption, it just became another source of corruption.
Hollywood has been horrible since the beginning, the infamous behind the scenes of "Wizard of Oz" is a perfect example of it Hell there's a song calling out the sexual exploitation side of it by Red Hot Chili Peppers

100% this. The biggest reason I quit acting and turned to Full-time Work & Twitch Streaming is because during my last few shoes I was touched inappropriately multiple times by my MARRIED director during late stage rehearsals after months of being fine. He would then tell me that if I told anyone he’d cut me from the show, blacklist me on Spotlight and I wouldn’t be paid to perform ever again… There are so many instances like this and it even happens in auditions.
Good choice. I love when big name actors like you set an example for up-and-coming talents. You, a titan of the industry, are truly making THE difference. I could never thank you enough.
@@oogabooga7025 Where did they ever claim or even imply that they were a big actor, or that they had made any sort of difference in the industry? They simply shared their own story, which was 100% relevant to the subject of the video. You're getting snarky over literally nothing. This equally happens within local (not Hollywood) productions, and to extras, etc. Basically anyone who the higher-ups think they can take advantage of can be a target.
This isn't just a Hollywood problem, this is a workplace problem. I know that the media industry is probably the most transparent with people like Grace speaking out and it's great that they are, but the root of the problem goes so much deeper
The worst part about this video is that this shit isn't exclusive to Hollywood. Just feels like people who hold any power are immediately finding a way to abuse it or fuck over as many people as possible, in every facet of society. At the very least people like you bring awareness to things like this, so thanks for that papa👍
i think this kind of things happens but not alot, I've read some in the reddit and a youtube video where a anonymous person got interviewed in that space
The craziest thing to me is all of Hollywood is so gung ho about being PC and yet this shit is still happening. Just goes to show that actions really do speak louder than words.
They hop on it cause being PC sells. Before it was obesity and now it's political correctness. Whatever hot button issue the majority is arguing about is what Hollywood is gonna latch onto to try and get money and support.
What made you actually think they meant it though? It's always been about profit, they don't care about you at all, they don't even care about their own workers, so what chance do the consumers have? You'd be amazed at how many rich people see us as nothing but cattle.

As a massive, (and I mean MASSIVE,) fan of the Olsen twins when I was a kid, it deeply saddens me to know that Horrorwood never changes. (Not only is that an Ice Nine Kills reference, it also perfectly sums up the shit that's been going on lately.)
the amount of hate she got just for playing a character shipped with eddie/being friends with the actor for eddie??? was insane too. it's such a shame she's had this many bad experiences involved with being an actress but i'm glad she's got streaming going for her
Why would People hate on her for being friends with Joseph Quinn? Maybe I’m out of the loop but I haven’t heard of him doing anything wrong/controversial?
This video illustrates one of the reasons PG-13 and R shows with child main characters freak me out. It's bad enough when kids are criticized like they have an adults proficiency in acting, (despite also loving what they do and trying their best), but also, like in these situations, they have to act out someone's sick ideas on and off set. I know that on stage it's likely all fake, and maybe actors 15-19 have the fortitude to handle adversity, but this can't be good for them.
@@emilyboekhoff2376 He didn't do anything wrong. It's his chick fans that are jealous of her character Chrissy because she either gets in the way of a ship (steddie Steve/Eddie) or because she takes the role of love interest that they want to self-insert into. There's even articles discussing this because Joseph said what these women were doing is disgusting during a recent con and it was big news in the ST fandom. They despise Grace because of Chrissy and that she's really close with Joseph irl and that infuriates them, even though they've been friends for years. These chicks only learned of Eddie maybe a year ago and it's been hell for Grace since then (Joseph too because they stalked him in multiple countries and watch his every move. He allegedly had to dress up as a waiter to escape them while dining out with his family in Italy on vacation). They even took photos from a Tumblr acc she had as a teen to body shame her and Photoshop the caption to make her seem racist and ableist. One of them had to be banned from a con in Philly for threatening violence against her and her fans. The entire story is legit wild and a perfect example of how unhinged and toxic stan culture can be and how prevalent internalized misogyny is in fandom spaces. They're still harassing her right now. She makes posts about it on Tumblr every so often when it gets too out of control, like asking followers for screenshots of the threats/defamatory posts they make to give her lawyer.
Good on you Charlie for being another voice to amplify the calls for justice and reform in the film industry. All of us need to support these victims as much as we can.

People get mad at actors or actresses for speaking out 15-20 years after but don’t realize they waited until they had enough power to have their voice heard and have it not ruin their lives. Now imagine how many young actors like her never become AAA actors with power and just quietly leave the industry or even if they don’t never reach the level of prominence to be able to speak out against it
you worded it perfectly
Lol so they waited until they had enough fame and money meanwhile letting them target other women for 20 years. Sounds like a hero to me 😐
@@PeacefulJoint you’re right they should’ve done it right away where they would’ve been called a gold digger looking for a payout by people like you and been blacklisted by Hollywood and ruined their chances towards a future career just for nothing to happen and no one to believe them and for the person to be able to target others in perpetuity until someone else gets enough power to be able to confront the situation without fear of losing their whole livelihood. Just cause you have no ability to understand how power dynamics play into the fear and shame around these types of situations doesn’t mean you have to actively try to discredit the experiences of others.
@@tarettime9392 none of that should matter if you know there is a person sexually assaulting women.
@@PeacefulJoint you literally didn’t even read my comment. You’re literally saying they should ruin their lives in order for the person to be able to continue to assault others. If they come forward as a young actor with no power people like you are going to shame the hell out of them for trying to exploit the poor powerful person. You don’t have any idea how hard it is to admit to situations like this without having a bunch of attention on you much less with thousands of people calling you names and actively seeking to discredit you for daring to try to speak up. On normal cases of SA it can sometimes be years before the victim has mustered the courage to be able to seek justice. What you can do to not be a piece of shit is not make the process harder on them just because you don’t understand it.
I’ll tell you a short story.. I tried to get into modeling when I was 13. My mom found an agent and took me. He asked if he could have the room with me without my mom and my mom left!

Anyone being surprised that so many actors choose indie projects over AAA movies (like Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson for example) should open their damn eyes. That's the reason. They want to focus on their craft and not shady inside politics.
Radcliffe is kinda involved in that kind of politics. But I do like actors like Pattinson, Kurt Russell and probably Henry Cavill.
Pattinson mostly wanted to get out of Twilight image as he himself hates that franchise. He and Kristen Stewart decided to choose to play Indie movies for a while until they make huge comeback in Hollywood with Pattinson becoming new Batman and Stewart played Princess Diana in Spencer and even got nominated as Best Actress at Oscars 2022. Meanwhile, Taylor Lautner made a huge mistake by playing in Box Office movie called Abduction which later bombed and lost his spotlight for years and even appeared in Adam Sandler Movies.

Corey Feldman has tried to tell people for years about the creepy stuff that goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood and people ridicule him for it. It's like a huge open secret. I think a lot of people in powerful positions don't want to do anything about it.
I ridicule him because he's trying to make money from it. He tried to hide his "evidence" behind a paywall
Corry Feldman is still a horrible person trying to reclaim his poorly managed money.
The same happened with Courtney Love when she got interviewed and tell the press to not to go to any party with Harvey Weinstein in 4 seasons a long time ago but since she's a weirdo and also a junkie, nobody take her seriously. Same with Seth Macfarlane when he was reading the nominees for Best Supporting Actress, he said "Congratulations, Ladies. You are free from Harvey Weinstein" or something but nobody take him seriously because he's just a guy who created Family Guy.
I think the best example of how awful Hollywood can be is Dan Schneider. He preyed upon children and young teens for years, worse than what Disney puts their child/teen actors through.
I'm genuinely happy to hear Grace is focusing on a hobby that's healthy and fun for her. Getting to chat with fans while playing your favorite game sounds like a nice way to spend your time rather than getting creeped on by predators.
you think hollywood is doing sex abuse? cuhlearly you believe in qanon
that's a genuine argument people have, that anyone that speaks out about sex abuse in hollywood is a believer in qanon, it's an excuse to censor the fact of what people go through
Hats off to Grace for speaking up. Too bad the people chose to criticize Sydney Sweeney and Jenna Ortega when they spoke up about the same horrible experiences.

I used to do acting, and as soon as I started reaching the professional level I stopped. The first professional project I was in (a big role with a budget of over a million) the director was touching me and holding on to my arms during rehearsals in the same room as all of the other performers. Did the other actors give a fuck? No, they just want to be successful, because thats what it takes. I still work in the industry, just not as a performer anymore, and as a rule I don't trust anyone until I really know them, I make it clear that nobody fucks with or disrespects me, and remember that narcissist are very real. If you speak out about everything, you will very quickly be ganged up on by NPCs who just want to please people in the industry, so I have to be very careful with the battles I choose. Even then, I've had people say I have a 'superhero complex' or whatever kind of personal attack they can think of because of this (I've learned that personal attacks and rumour spreading are their primary weapon as it requires no evidence and it doesn't even have to be true).

Some people have no clue about spirituality, but it all makes sense when you know the laws of energy and what prevents people from saying names (apart from fear). Its not a coincidence, that at the top of so many producing companies, people are perverts and pedos. Creative people dont just happen to turn into weirdos the moment they get rich. Most of them get rich because they made a deal before or because they are born into these sick circles. Selling soul is real and you can get power from it, but you have to give back and feed what you serve...its always the same kind of thing evil feeds of: negative energy, but mostly negative sexual energy and the younger the victim the better. And look at the media...what do we see? The promotion of all things foul and perverted more and more. Everything is meant to be "normalized". Also the topic of sacrifice...in all cultures around the world, human sacrifice was/is a thing. People would have stopped that ish a long time ago, if it wouldnt have any effect cause its a hustle and risky, but we only hear about it from non western cultures still. Its happening here too but on a more "sophisticated" level. Why do people wanna make it in Hollywood? Its not always need for creative expression...its also vanity and greed. The very things our ego wants and who is waiting for our ego to act up the most? Demons. If you make it, then dont fall for it and it wont come at you in an obvious way at first anyway. I heard several smaller actors and comedians, who have very young kids now, say "Before I had my kids, none of these bigger actors/producers ever invited me over, no matter how successful my last set was and how good we got along at a party....but now I was invited several times and they always said: "Make sure to bring the kids" " That is weird to me.
Same case here, man. I'm real worried and I might resort to independent filmmaking.
We need more like minded folk to work on this issue together
That shi happens to men too. Stay safe out there🤗
Brendan Fraser also had this issue for a couple of decades and he was blacklisted for no reason which is completely asinine. What’s going on right now in Hollywood is just completely disheartening, disgusting and disgraceful and I’m really concerned about their future if no one takes action.
Also Grave Van Dien deserves better (who is absolutely one of the nicest human beings) than working with perverted, egregious bosses in studios that want to use women as objects. Like WTF!
Hollywood was using women as objects before any of us were alive.
Marilyn Monroe was just one of countless many who were used by the system in the old days.
Brendan Fraser’s story will ALWAYS break my heart. I met him when I was 20 and he was such a teddy bear of a man. It pisses me off that someone could be awful to him 🥺
After learning about what happened to Jennette McCurdy a.k.a Sam from ICarly and she decided to retire from acting for good, I can understand why Hollywood is a dangerous place.
If I'm not mistakenly Jennette McCurdy didn't actually retire from acting for good, she retire from acting for now but, she say that she might go back to acting in the future. But, for right now she isn't going back to acting.
@David Lyle (TheIronLion501) her mom was pretty terrible and probably let these producers have their way with her daughter
@David Lyle (TheIronLion501) Jenette had a ton of eating disorders because of her mother, she was obligated to work because that money was carrying her whole family and she probably got something done by Dan Schneider, as she pretty much supported Amanda Byrne's claims about him back then on Vine. She's now a director, producer (I think the last stuff she has done acting was because she was in control of things), she also writes and has (or had) a podcast about mental health speaking with other actors.
@David Lyle (TheIronLion501) the icarly director also had an undisguised fetish going on, asking for feet pics from fans who all thought it was just weird and funny bc kids, and put the actors in awkward position, such as the repeated kissing scene practice between jeanette and that male lead guy. I read the book, and the director was upset with jeanette for not making the whole thing sexy. Jeanette was a child, and didnt really feel great going through that. But she felt like it was something to be ashamed abt and that it was her fault, not the fcked up grown ups around her.

@@Erinyes nickelodeon is messed up. All the cartoons tbh seem to have some fetish undertones
i’ll never forget watching corey feldman’s interview on some talk show where he was talking about innocent children being SA’d by big producers (himself and late co-star corey haim being victims when they were children, mind you) and Barbara Walter’s immediate response was “you’re damaging an entire industry”. literally made my skin crawl when i first watched it.
It’s one thing how Oprah did that ridiculous interview with the Markles and she made a fool of herself by going so easy on them. But what Walters did was unforgivable.
Walters was always someone I enjoyed listening to but she can kiss my a$$ now.
If his claims were false then yes he would be. And the way he was orchestrating everything came off very fishy back in the day. He was refusing to release any info until he got paid pretty much, which is weird and wrong. Corey is a bit nuts, I believe bad things happened to him, but lets not pretend how he went about exposing people was great. He couldn't have done a worse job quite frankly. It came off like a book/band promotion for himself. Even Haim's mother was asking him to stop talking about her son.
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Don’t read at all
@@cmg8376 Corey is super fishy. He is probably not wrong but the fact that he demand more money for the "truth" to come out means he is just as bad as the industry he want to attacked

I work in the film industry and can confirm, ALOT of the sets I work on are filled with drama of everyone sleeping with each other and crazy rumors and allegations of shit exactly like this, and like you said, some of these people feel like they have to play along because they wont find/get any more work.
How do you survive in that environment? I can’t imagine what it’s like behind the scenes.
Finally someone is talking about this. Thank you so much Charlie for spreading this information I feel like no one talks about how corrupt Hollywood can be so again I thank you for talking about this serious issue. There is also an insane amount of drugs that runs like water in Hollywood I have a friend who is a upcoming actor and he told me he went to this after party for a film he starred in im not sure what movie it was but he played a very minor character and he said that there were lots of drugs at that party and everyone was high out of their minds. I’m thinking of becoming an actor myself. I’m fresh out of high school and it’s something that does interest me but I have to be aware of the dangers of Hollywood as well. If I ever don’t feel comfortable I am leaving to do something else I recommend to anyone that goes through harassment in this industry to please leave and do something else you won’t be happy if you stay.
This is why I can’t help but laugh whenever Hollywood tries to assume the moral high ground on any political/social/cultural issue. They actively enable creeps like the guy Grace was talking about here, and they blackball anyone who calls them out for it.
Ever watch Aladdin?

I used to work in the movie industry, started off as a sales agent, went on organizing multinational coproductions.
Getting financers on board was one of my tasks.
Pretty much at the start of this I had a meeting with an absolutely filthy rich man overseas at his hotel.
I was pretty nervous since he's a big fish and I was fairly young and inexperienced for this position though I tried as best as I could not to show it.
Had a new suit made, had my pitch and numbers memorized and took a deep breath.
When I entered the room of that very luxurious hotel I was more than shocked to see the disgusting mess he had made and didn't bother to clean up before the meeting.
He himself was sitting on a sofa wearing only his underwear and a white tanktop that had half of his belly showing and also had food stains on it.
I was thinking that he had no need to show his richess because it was clear that this guy was the real deal.
I looked past it and went on with the pitch after greeting each other.
Shortly after I started he told me that he doesn't care about what I have to say.
He wasn't going to invest a penny. At least not for the reasons I tried to present.
Instead he leaned in and requested that I sell him as a big producer to the actresses on the set and that he would like to meet them privately.
It didn't take much to see where this was going.
Needless to say we dropped this one pretty quickly.
I talked with other - more experienced - people in the industry field about this.
They said that for a lot of these really rich investors money doesn't actually matter that much.
I'm not the one who's going to make them rich so I need to offer something that excites them instead.
In the case of many investors that happens to be young naive actresses...
I’m in high school and I have a passion for film making and stuff like this scares me. For some reason, i am still determined to continue film, but this is so scared omg. There are so many sickos out there! I can’t even imagine how many victims
Hopefully more and more people come out and expose how disgusting Hollywood is. Glad Grace found her safe space in streaming

Its not just not Hollywood, other entertainment industries have their own issues too like the anime industry in Japan works their animators to overwork to death literally.
I love the intro so much, because I think the first video I ever saw of his was him talking about how he was in mockingjay
This is why I roll my eyes whenever Hollywood lectures me about being a better human when it comes to their movies. Most of em are drunk on their own farts when it comes to moral topics but would happily ignore stuff like this behind closed doors. What a bunch of snakes. Hope she moves on mentally from that awful experience, she looks really uncomfortable telling what happened.
The term "Hollywood" encompasses a lot of people with wildly differing opinions--heck, one of their many hypocrisies is feeding the illusion that all our films are made exclusively in an expensive-but-progressive part of Los Angeles, California (or New York City for the free product placement everywhere). They will happily move production to a cheaper state like Texas just to avoid paying the extra cost of living in California that they can easily afford more than most Californians, while still expecting aspiring artists to move to the most expensive cities in the US and Canada, possibly even outside North America, too.
Artists right now are fearing that AI will make it harder for them to break into Hollywood than it already is, meanwhile animation and VFX houses have long made getting an entry-level job into Hollywood impossible by choosing to outsource to impoverished countries like Taiwan and North Korea, where people are more willing to work 100+ hour weeks doing in between animations for Western productions all for a slave's wage.
We are likely going to get more of these lectures tonight on these Oscars, and don't get me started on their quaint attitudes on animation, foreign film (especially Japanese anime and Korean dramas), comedies, movies not mainstream enough for the Academy, movies TOO mainstream for the academy (e.g. superhero movies), etc etc. The sooner we stop expecting even a small fraction of the "Hollywood" clique to relate to us plebs on any level, and the sooner Hollywood stops thinking making "relatable" social commentary is a good crutch in lieu of entertainment and good storytelling, the better.
@@JeffreyThrash Classic "rules for thee, but not for me" type of peeps. Their attitudes towards things you said like Animation, and foreign films are rooted to the fact that they are not in their 'circles' so they can't give the respect to what those genres deserve. I firmly believe there are good, well meaning people there, it's just really shitty to imagine that they have to adjust to such a predatory environment like this, having their jobs be dependent on how much they could be a "team player."
And hollywood always plays up to social politics to play on people's heartstrings to get more money. There's always talk about race, lgbt, feminism, ect. Its all a money scheme.
We had one of those famous celebrities here adopt a young asian boy only to then send him back once he got bored of him
And the worst part is that now, all the higher ups have to do is say the right things, act like an ally, and everyone within the industry would defend them with their life, probably not paying attention to how toxic or exploitive they are.
This video illustrates one of the reasons PG-13 and R shows with child main characters freak me out. It's bad enough when kids are criticized like they have an adults proficiency in acting, (despite also loving what they do and trying their best), but also, like in these situations, they have to act out someone's sick fantasies on and off set. I know that on stage it's likely all fake, and maybe actors 15-19 have the fortitude to handle adversity, but this can't be good for them.
She seems so gentle and sweet, shame people tear away at those types more often. They're really the best.
Edit: I like how these guys are just bashing the woman even though sexual exploitation is known to run rampant in the film industry, and she didn't even try to use this for her benefit, simply to explain why she's finished with that work.
Whoever this "producer" is DESERVES to be fired for life.
No. She seems like she is on some pretty opiates……the fact that she is an actress almost proves it.

@@vince3523 Apparently people are freaking out that barely-legal Ashley in Resident Evil 4 will have smaller breasts in the remake compared to the original, ignoring the fact that the only truly uncensored version of Resi 4 is the original Japanese GameCube version, and they likely played some variation of the PS2 version that toned down the gore a bit--and the remake still looks to be more faithful than the Facebook VR version, at least. There are definitely people who cannot handle even minor changes to their precious fictional female heartthrobs while being unaware they could get even kinkier stuff for free on the Internet, and thus must be avoided like the plague.
I would assume most people who spend more time gaming than socializing, though, are simply too shy and afraid to say the wrong thing, especially to women, and are therefore harmless if they can't even muster up the courage to type into the livestream chat.
@@JeffreyThrash I had no clue that was going on. And I guess I'm a gamer since I play a bunch of games, but I wasn't aware that that was an issue.
@@vince3523 I envy you. When I first looked up the Resi 4 remake demo on RUclips, it was just a bunch of videos of whiny guys complaining that Ashley's breasts are apparently smaller in the remake. I did not even notice that myself until I came across those videos because, well, I don't exactly play Resident Evil for the fan service (except Resi 8--you know why...), I play it for the goofy dialogue and zombie shooting, which looks to be intact for the remake. Honestly I think Ashley's face is prettier in the remake screenshots I've seen, too. Subsurface scattering and higher poly counts does wonders to a woman.
If anything, I would be bothered if Ashley sounded less like Sandy Cheeks in the new version. If my mind doesn't conflate "Which one of you's the REAL Dirty Dan?!" with "Hey! Quit lookin' up my skirt!" after the remake, there's going to be trouble. Either way, just ignore those people, they sound like the kind of people that think the new Proud Family on Disney Plus is somehow more "woke" than the original--tell me you're a fake fan without saying you're a fake fan...
Let’s not forget about the OG truth speaker in Corey Feldman who spoke out and was basically laughed at along with being told he was hurting Hollywood because he spoke out
i’ll never forget watching his interview on some talk show where he was talking about innocent children being SA’d by big producers and Barbara Walter’s immediate response was “you’re damaging an entire industry”. literally made my skin crawl when i first watched it.
He's not even close to being the OG, this has been an open secret before Corey was even born. And quite frankly he just made the whole thing easier for people to dismiss as crazy with how he went about everything, especially when he was dangling the names and only willing to release them if he got paid. That didn't lend credence to anything and made it easier for people to pretend nothing was wrong and it was being exaggerated.
That interview with him pleading his case absolutely breaks my fucking heart
Also I saw a panel she did at a con a few months ago. I'm a big fan of the guy who plays Vecna (actor Jamie Campbell Bower) so I tuned in to their panel together on a livestream. The panelist ask if there was any roles they wished they got. Jamie said he missed a bigger role in Harry Potter. And it took a dark turn when Grace revealed a casting director mentioned to her a few years ago "that she wasn't to pretty and needed to fix her /your teeth". Which stunned not only the Vecna actor (Jamie Campbell Bower) but me as well because Grace is quite beautiful. She walks in a room and eyes would turn of how pretty she is. Geez, damn. Felt bad for her.
Haven’t seen one of your videos for awhile. I always appreciate your take on things. :)
A couple of actors that immediately come to mind when I think about the rampant, sexual deviancy, that goes on in Hollywood are Elijah wood and Corey Feldman. I'll never forget what Feldman said in one interview concerning pedophiles in the film industry: "I was surrounded by them". He never names anyone because as Charlie mentioned: they'll be blacklisted... Creeps me tf out. These people are wild, feral, demons.
Did he start as a child actor? I never knew he went thru that 😮

When I started reading this comment I thought u were gonna confirm how awful Hollywood is 💀
Just imagine all the talent we haven't gotten to see because they were too open about what they were going through. The people who could have been the next biggest stars are getting blacklisted from ever working in film because they don't agree with their boss. It's terrible to see people's dreams crushed because of something so disgusting.
Showgirls is a perfect example, the movie is awful but extremely accurrate and that whole film crew got pretty much blacklisted as soon as the movie released because of showing the true face of Hollywood. The film itself got blacklisted and they tried to prevent people from watching it.
And that's not even considering how much talent we don't see because they don't fit within the tiny narrow box that producers and casting directors want. Which is why every actor looks the freakin same. I saw an ad on a bus, just the face of the lead actress, could have been any of about six off the top of my head.
This is just how things are. Since we are talking Hollywood, getting a job as an actor/actress is extremely difficult. If a director approached you and said "suck my d!ck for 10 minutes, and I'll make you famous and a millionaire." I bet 99% of people wouldn't even think twice and would do it.

I remember when Wienstien was all over the news, and the MeToo movement was seen as a huge step towards change of the rampant harassment and exploitation that goes on in the industry. But, other than convicting Weinstien himself, there haven't been any changes to the industry since then.
Weinstein was a fall man/scapegoat. In retrospect, you can kinda tell from how all the news outlets focused entirely on him and not on other predators.
Yeah it's pretty frustrating to see how little has actually changed. The same ghouls that do this shit probably ended up producing several of the movies about this shit.
*Weinstein
and how many years before Weinstein was exposed did the move Tropic Thunder come out, where Tom Cruise very publicly, yet unspokenly, mocked Weinstein. Literally everyone in the industry knew it was supposed to be Harvey but no one talked about it because of how much power the guy had.
Dave Chappelle said it best. All the women part of the MeToo movement did it all wrong. Instead of dressing in all black for the movement, they should’ve walked away from Hollywood instead.

I've had a few times where I was offered money for stuff I'd never do. I refused but I later found out alot of people that knew the guy was asked the same thing and they actually did what he wanted. Don't give up your moral for something like fame or money.
I've often wondered if it's even possible to "rise through the ranks" in Hollywood without being taken advantage of somewhere along the way. It makes me wonder in most (if not all) famous actors and actresses had to endure horrible situations in order to get the roles they procured, not because they weren't talented enough, but just because that was what was required to even get considered...
Wouldn't be surprising. And this in turn might explain why the bosses of the industry act like this. They were that newbie, once, and so now they understand they can get away with it and believe it is the way, take it out on the next newbie just like every other abuse cycles. Don't get me wrong though, i'm not pitying them or see them as victims the moment they do the same.
Probably. Theres a lot of Weinsteins and Epsteins in that industry...
Easy answer are they really talented or just good more than likely they’re not that talented so yea

It's ripe for exploitation, especially of newcomers and young talent. And Hollywood is the absolute worst of the worst when it comes to that.
Damn that's upsetting! 🤮😡
How are you now? Were you fired/threatened? Does this issue still happen to you? Are you in a better place?
I wouldn't even know what to do in that situation
@@lemonywater2979 I'm a young man, who's indecisive sometimes and kinda awkward in social setting, if my boss were to ask me indirectly or directly I'd say no. Though I wouldn't be sure what to do if they threaten to fire me or anything on those lines for refusing.
But if you're someone who doesn't mind it or is ok with doing it with your boss, go ahead.
Edit: (as long as the company policy isn't against it, since there aren't laws against dating one's employer/boss/coworker).
@@escanormorph1883 I'm pretty sure it's still at least immoral (in most cases also illegal) to sleep with your boss, even if you're "ok with it" 💀 Shyness has nothing to do with it
I went back and watched the hunger games extra video before this. Top tier stuff
this remind me and explains the situation that happened during the soad - lost in hollywood live in rio in 2015, the bassist Shavo Odadjian first prayed on the stage and then, during the song started crying on the scene as they played about how hollywood is not what it seems to be. brutal
Its sad to see that Hollywood has not evolved that far from the days of Judy Garland.
Its a demonic industry and it always has been. Abuse, negative sexual energy, fear...all that mixed with greed, vanity etc...its the perfect storm of evil.
I wish this guy would evolve.

@Talking her dad is Casper Van Dien from Starship Troopers.
Most people would because they need to keep working… doesn’t make it right but y’know I don’t always blame them
@Millennial Smark youre seriously asking why its not ok for your boss to ask you for sexual favors?
Being the photo double for quinn lord in the haunting hour was honestly quite fun for me, besides the hours in the chair and the late nights.
lol loved your work on twilight also .
Mad respect for Grace Van Dien for her decision to prioritize streaming!
wouldnt imagine streaming would provide a better place though. People are creepy to female streamers
@@skeleton819I mean peeps can even be creepy in a corporate workspace
But i guess random grown ass men being creepy in chat beats sexual exploitation from a retard Neanderthal.

@@duttashantanu60 yea
I’ve seen a lot of people telling her to “bring receipts” and our them, but what Charlie also forgot to mention is that this very much sounds like an in person, verbal exchange. There’s really no receipts other than maybe the one eye witness. And that’s not enough. If she just calls out a producer or anybody for a verbal exchange, that’s a huge risk, and unless tons of other women come out sharing their experience (with receipts) she’d basically have put herself in a cage with wolves (I.e the man himself, his lawyers, character witnesses, kids calling her a clout chaser or really anyone in Hollywood desperately looking for a job)
That’s so stupid and belittling to ask for receipts, people who do that are just supporting SA at this point. They make it that there are no receipts and they had decades of experience.
Not to mention she can easily be blacklisted and not get work from anyone, there have been people who work In Hollywood and spoke up, but not always SA related. But been silence or out of the job due to their statement of what they experience. They could have spoken out on how underpaid they were on set now they don't have a job anymore.
Where’s the proof? I get if a woman is the “victim” of a crime, less/no proof is needed to ruin a man’s life - but give us something
Typical woman whining/lying about the smallest thing; I’m sure this is not at all to boost her channel and collect more simp bucks. Absolutely pathetic
@@Level.2.Gigapod I don’t think she’s planning to “ruin a man’s life” but it sounds like she gets asked pretty much on a daily basis when she’s going back to tv, or why she chooses to stream instead of doing more shows/movies. She spoke her piece and kept it moving. Everyone is so used to the digital age where everybody communicates 90% through text and are more than willing to incriminate themselves multiple times with multiple people, but it creates an inflated expectation of proof with every exchange.
This is such an easily deniable situation even if it was a text (the producer can say that never happened, he wasn’t involved in the other woman’s plan, or it’s photoshopped and dismiss any case) so it’s obvious why she didn’t go any deeper
"Hollywood is horrible" and the sky is blue so what's new.
Hollywood is hell
Old hollywood is better lol
No it's not.
I thought after the me-too movement things would change but I guess toxic monsters still moving on. I'm very happy that Grace is standing up for herself
Why would it...?
The Godfather author wrote about this shit in the SIXTIES! And it's been going on far longer... you don't overturn a century of tradition with a hashtag
The me too movement was literally just a smokescreen to shift the eyes towards others. And to get back at actors who probably didn't obey the higher ups of Hollywood.
@@PrimyFritzellz I don't personally believe in these "it's just a distraction" theories about certain events in our culture. However obviously some people do lose their jobs due to fabricated assault and harassment accusations, social media can run with these narratives and just make stuff up out if spite. So it really could be a tool to silence people and discredit people in some rare cases.
Me Too started off right, then was polluted. Amber Heard became the face of it. Then the entire thing was very focused on only a few people. A lot of people coming out but the were the victims of only 3-4 of the same men.
Me Too quickly went from going after scumbags to trying to exploit men who hadn't done what they were accused of but didn't have a clean enough reputation to hold up in the world of gossip. It was never going to root out the real corruption, it just became another source of corruption.
Your acting career revived me from the grave Charles
PENGUINZ0 WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS ME, MY CONTENT IS BETTER
Bruh these NPCs promoting their content on the replies
Charlie said my content is better do you guys agree
Jesus, lotta bots around here
Too many
And yet a video like this, nothing will change. Sick
Hollywood has been horrible since the beginning, the infamous behind the scenes of "Wizard of Oz" is a perfect example of it
Hell there's a song calling out the sexual exploitation side of it by Red Hot Chili Peppers
For those wondering, im sure you've heard it before, it's Cali-fornication
What happened w/ Behind the scenes of “The Wizard of Oz”.
@@kevinkarenkljyan9464 look up "the wizard of oz and the dark side of hollywood" by emplemon. I think Charlie even streamed it at one point
hollywood Has been horrible since after endgame.
Ronald reagan did a better job on hollywood than this shit
Its upsetting how the ST fandom treated grace too, and now seeing her be treated like this by her boss is insane.
I didn't keep up after s1 ST, how did they treat her? 😕

@@Level.2.Gigapod She's not accusing anyone specifically so she doesn't need "proof."
What happened?
100% this. The biggest reason I quit acting and turned to Full-time Work & Twitch Streaming is because during my last few shoes I was touched inappropriately multiple times by my MARRIED director during late stage rehearsals after months of being fine. He would then tell me that if I told anyone he’d cut me from the show, blacklist me on Spotlight and I wouldn’t be paid to perform ever again… There are so many instances like this and it even happens in auditions.
Hollywood is rape media
Good choice. I love when big name actors like you set an example for up-and-coming talents. You, a titan of the industry, are truly making THE difference. I could never thank you enough.
@@oogabooga7025 The sarcasm isn’t needed, asshole. I was never a big actor and I’m glad for it.
dude im not married
@@oogabooga7025 Where did they ever claim or even imply that they were a big actor, or that they had made any sort of difference in the industry? They simply shared their own story, which was 100% relevant to the subject of the video. You're getting snarky over literally nothing.
This equally happens within local (not Hollywood) productions, and to extras, etc. Basically anyone who the higher-ups think they can take advantage of can be a target.
This isn't just a Hollywood problem, this is a workplace problem. I know that the media industry is probably the most transparent with people like Grace speaking out and it's great that they are, but the root of the problem goes so much deeper
Agreed
exactly this... and so much of it unseen simply because its not a public platform. Women need to continue speaking out at all levels
It’s a societal problem
It's mostly a Hollywood problem and other forms of entertainment.
The worst part about this video is that this shit isn't exclusive to Hollywood. Just feels like people who hold any power are immediately finding a way to abuse it or fuck over as many people as possible, in every facet of society. At the very least people like you bring awareness to things like this, so thanks for that papa👍
Obviously it's not just Hollywood everyone knows it happens in the modelling industry, music industry, companies too, heck.. even universities...
True it also happens in the japanese and korean idol industry
@@atropabelladonna3120 happens at an alarming degree in politics.
@@reddytoplay9188 nightmare shit, like, god it sounds awful
it happens in every industry and its not just hollywood... time for a big dose of reality for these soft af privledged people.
Props to Elijah Wood for being one of the earliest I personally can remember to speak out about such problems.
i think this kind of things happens but not alot, I've read some in the reddit and a youtube video where a anonymous person got interviewed in that space
Thanks for speaking about this Charlie!
The craziest thing to me is all of Hollywood is so gung ho about being PC and yet this shit is still happening. Just goes to show that actions really do speak louder than words.
Maybe they write PC scripts in order to deflect criticism
@@alsmith9853 Pretty much. They wrap themselves in issues the people care about in order to seem good.
They hop on it cause being PC sells. Before it was obesity and now it's political correctness. Whatever hot button issue the majority is arguing about is what Hollywood is gonna latch onto to try and get money and support.
What made you actually think they meant it though? It's always been about profit, they don't care about you at all, they don't even care about their own workers, so what chance do the consumers have? You'd be amazed at how many rich people see us as nothing but cattle.
It’s called Performative Politics. They pretend to be progressive and believe in equality, justice, etc, but don’t actually walk the walk.
What a guy. Famous actor and he still has time for us bravo charlie

I did a lot of extra work to make extra cash when I was 15-18. It was wild. Lots of weirdos. Child actors go through the most
And yet Hollywood has all eyes on it.
When it comes to sexual abuse, one case is already too many.
What a modest intro charlie. I feel like you really held back on the truth to stay humble. True inspiration.

@Patrick39 😂
I originally found you in relation with your voice over of the Anthony Sullivan commercials of the Smart Mop many years ago. That shit was hilarious!
But I didn't even see your face there. When I later did and heard your voice, it all clicked! Thank you Charlie, I love you, you silly INTP! XD - Best regards, an INFP.
As a massive, (and I mean MASSIVE,) fan of the Olsen twins when I was a kid, it deeply saddens me to know that Horrorwood never changes.
(Not only is that an Ice Nine Kills reference, it also perfectly sums up the shit that's been going on lately.)
the amount of hate she got just for playing a character shipped with eddie/being friends with the actor for eddie??? was insane too. it's such a shame she's had this many bad experiences involved with being an actress but i'm glad she's got streaming going for her
Why would People hate on her for being friends with Joseph Quinn? Maybe I’m out of the loop but I haven’t heard of him doing anything wrong/controversial?
I think it was crazed jealous fans obsessed with the actor
This video illustrates one of the reasons PG-13 and R shows with child main characters freak me out. It's bad enough when kids are criticized like they have an adults proficiency in acting, (despite also loving what they do and trying their best), but also, like in these situations, they have to act out someone's sick ideas on and off set. I know that on stage it's likely all fake, and maybe actors 15-19 have the fortitude to handle adversity, but this can't be good for them.
@@emilyboekhoff2376 He didn't do anything wrong. It's his chick fans that are jealous of her character Chrissy because she either gets in the way of a ship (steddie Steve/Eddie) or because she takes the role of love interest that they want to self-insert into. There's even articles discussing this because Joseph said what these women were doing is disgusting during a recent con and it was big news in the ST fandom. They despise Grace because of Chrissy and that she's really close with Joseph irl and that infuriates them, even though they've been friends for years.
These chicks only learned of Eddie maybe a year ago and it's been hell for Grace since then (Joseph too because they stalked him in multiple countries and watch his every move. He allegedly had to dress up as a waiter to escape them while dining out with his family in Italy on vacation). They even took photos from a Tumblr acc she had as a teen to body shame her and Photoshop the caption to make her seem racist and ableist. One of them had to be banned from a con in Philly for threatening violence against her and her fans. The entire story is legit wild and a perfect example of how unhinged and toxic stan culture can be and how prevalent internalized misogyny is in fandom spaces. They're still harassing her right now. She makes posts about it on Tumblr every so often when it gets too out of control, like asking followers for screenshots of the threats/defamatory posts they make to give her lawyer.
Good on you Charlie for being another voice to amplify the calls for justice and reform in the film industry. All of us need to support these victims as much as we can.
