    "Transcon has been compensated". Truer words.
    I despise the idea that artists should just accept whatever crumbs they're given by the people who "made" them. These guys made Perleman a millionaire many times over, working 19 hour days 7 days a week for months on end. And he gave them $10,000 each. And they're supposed to kiss his ring?

    He “allegedly” abused boys? No. He abused them. There’s the Lance Bass produced documentary that talks about it. There are RUclipsrs who dove deep into Pearlman’s history and found out he’s get teenage boys drunk and abuse them. Netflix didn’t go there because it wasn’t the focus of their documentary series. But what he did to this boys was horrendous

      @charlotte241000 You have a point. Plus, Lou did go to prison and then died in prison, so justice was served. If anything, there should be another documentary on Dan Schneider and the drama at Nickelodeon. Let's face it nothing has changed since Quite On Set came out. Plus, more former child stars are coming out with their stories. So if we have more documentaries on this problem, then maybe Nickelodeon can be shut down, and Dan Schneider can rot and die in prison like Lou did #JusticeForTheNickKids #JFTNK

    There is another doc about this. The most disturbing part is when they asked the different artists about Lou’s questionable behavior. They recounted very pervy behavior.
    What was heartbreaking is when they asked Aaron Carter about it.
    His response,”HE DID NOTHING TO ME!!!”(that wasn’t the question)

They might have to "play" with them (in a sexual nature) and asked them if they would like to practice with him
      Does anyone remember who it was?

      And he defended him so vehemently! It wouldn't surprise me if he was groomed by him. Remember that Aaron was 10 when he became famous and his parents were not good role models and exploited their 5 kids so probably he was his legal guardian. Brian was Nick's legal guardian when he was 18 and Nick was 13

    I remember watching the "making the band" ie. Otown. I also remember when Otown were having difficulties with Lou and money. They separated from Lou and started to work under a sub-label with two young guys. They were quite happy until their accounts were freezed by Trans Con. and couldn't use their credit cards. Lol. I wish they would have added that into this documentary.
