I love her dismissing Perez Hilton's "apology" - yeah, no. He's awful. The only people out here "forgiving" him are those who either were too young or hadn't been born yet to remember all the damage he caused. Not just to celebrities but to all the young people who followed him. I have never seen a good apology from him, only "but xyz... But... But.. but" - that's NOT an apology OR taking accountability. This man was, and continues to be awful, until he REALLY takes accountability.
truthfully besides the nick name mushy… he didnt do anything worse then any other site or magazine or paparazzi’s coverage of her, lindsey, nicole etc etc
@@myob3839 Posting revenge porn is horrible, and he bragged about it like he was some almighty god!! His blog just turned into something for power over celebs instead of just reporting!!! He knew he was causing damage and didn’t care!!!
@@myob3839 In the few moments around 18:18 reading all of those posts that perez wrote turned my stomach. Maybe I'm just not reading any other magazine or paparazzi right because I've never read such nasty negative condescending and disrespectful s stuff. Actually I'm sure I'm actually right, I'm right in just not bothering to spend any time amplifying the voices of nasty people like Perez, imo all we can do is ignore them until they stfu... but only in a perfect world ig....
Early 2000’s tabloids were so disgusting. Those people should be ashamed of themselves, especially Perez Hilton. He’s exactly the same. He still obsesses over certain people, he’s just slightly less overt in his insults. He sort of apologized, but isn’t doing much better.
Maybe so, but wtf do you call today? Over sharing and over "accepting" everything to the point of "CANCELLING" a person because of ridiculous standards based on hurt feelings? Wait 20 years...this era will be worse than it was back then....
Just because that wasn't Rachel Bilson's experience doesn't mean it wasn't Micha Barton's. It doesn't mean she was lying. Micha being younger like she was, I'm not surprised that her experience was different. It's sad that things went down for her the way they did. I hope she's doing great now
Yeah. But. She said if Mischa lied about her then what else is she saying could be a lie. Misha DID say stuff about Rachel’s contract that can be easily checked so 🤷♀️ She also said she’d like to talk to her. Maybe they did talk, maybe they didn’t. That’s not important. Y’all can’t say Rachel is this or that just cause of ONE CLIP, people 🤦♀️ And there’s always two sides to every story.
Mischa never gets her flowers for being one of the top it girls of the aughts, and she often gets lost in the shuffle of Britney, Lindsay, Nicole, and Paris. She was equally tormented and exploited by the media, and her career has never recovered. Thank you for making this video, because Mischa was and is a queen!
and then just like Britney shows up and starts making random accusations that no one else backs and all the female fans of one show are now attacking Ben Makenzie.
One thing I think a lot of people skip over is the sexualization she went through really young. She did a lot of adult themed films growing up, and was topless at 17 for an Enrique Iglesias video. She was also on an episode of Fastlane where she tries to seduce an adult while wearing a bra and panties, and this was before the OC so she was for sure underaged. I’m sure she was exposed to a lot of things really young, and that’s a recipe for disaster. Always rooting for her though and she seems in a much better place these days.
@@TomikaKelly I think her parents were knowingly exploiting her because I remember when she had a breakdown, she blamed her MOTHER for exploiting her. It reminded me of Amanda Bynes… These are parents who are involved in the satanic Hollywood Cults and don’t consider child Abbuse as a bad thing…..
@@TomikaKelly Her mom was her manager. :/ She sued her in 2015 for withholding earnings, kicking her out of a home she bought + exploiting her. I'm sure she even said in an interview (or maybe the oc podcast), that at first she didn't even really want to do The O.C (or any acting work at that time) because she wanted to finish school in NY first.
Misha Barton was THE reason to watch OC. It wasn't a surprise the show had died with her character gone. She is an endless beauty and her voice is quite special, too.
Truth! I love her voice! She could narrate a book or do a podcast. I especially love hearing her tell her story now with the tone of a measured, mature and wise woman whose learned a lot over the years!
If you don’t want the paparazzi following your every move, and you find it so overwhelming, maaaaybe don’t go partying your face off at every LA club. 🤷🏼♀️
@SoCalJellybean Yes, don't enjoy your life. You're famous and rich so you don't deserve privacy 🙄 (sarcasm in case you think I'm actually agreeing with you)
And everyone still has the balls to talk shit about Britney and how she's behaving, and here we have ANOTHER celebrity who was being fed pills to keep her making money for other people. I wish more people would have empathy for these celebrities. Just because they're beautiful and rich doesn't mean they are happy and healthy, or even safe.
Yeah literally any person could get famous at any point, they still should be treated with basic human decency and respect :/ so many people don't think so because they chose that career
The real problem here is Mischa’s parent’s betrayal of their daughter….a very deep wound inflicted upon her. Also the jealousy, lack of support and betrayal of others. I hope she finds her way again.
How sad, her yelling off the balcony, someone recording her in a vulnerable moment. She was screaming about her mom. Obviously distraught.😢 so many people around her, hurt her.
*Rachel Bison, the woman who played "Summer," was incredibly rude and dismissive of what Mischa went through. She has a podcast with the actress who played Summer's mom and basically negated everything Mischa went through and I was immediately turned off from her forever for that. Just because Rachel had a good experience doesn't mean Mischa did!!! Shame on a fellow woman to dismiss the horrible experiences of another. Also, Mischa stuck to the same stories forever so I believe her.* *It's because Rachel is still best friends with Josh Schwartz, the creator so The OC, so of course she doesn't want to bad-mouth the show in any way. Also, Rachel WAS added last minute. Rachel is such a mean girl.* *I feel so badly for Mischa, she had such a hard life from such a young age.*
Agreed. Rachel was barely in the show for the first few episodes. Also, if I’m not mistaken Bilson is a nepo-child. I always found Mischa’s acting a LOT better. Marissa was like 20 characters in one.
I disliked Rachel Bilson after what she did with Rami Malek (posted a throwback photo with him when he won an Oscar). The picture was unflattering and he asked her to remove it. It gave me such bad vibes, like that person from high school who hasn’t spoken to you in years but the moment you make it big they want everyone to know that they were friends with you.
I immediately disliked her when she needed to loudly discuss her sex life with Bill Hader on her podcast a full year after they broke up. He has always been super private in relationships and she knew that. Just wanted more attention since she hasn’t had a true career in decades.
Good for her for not accepting Perez's "apology." I almost vomited at him being the godfather of Heidi and Spencer's child but then remembered Heidi and Spencer were always vomit inducing to me so I shouldn't be that surprised.
She’s real for that. He was cutting her off, trying to get words in to guilt her into accepting his late-ass, halfhearted “apology” for the cameras. I feel bad that Heidi and Spencer chose a piece of trash to be the godfather of their child - mostly for the child. Luckily they don’t have any daughters for Perez to bully.
Yea it was clearly fake I did not believe one word and what a coincidence he looks like a bear in hibernation while he’s criticizing completely healthy girls even thin on their weight
“I saw things differently.” DUH you were an adult in your twenties with your frontal lobe fully formed. Mischa was a child and should have been more protected than the rest.
Well how old was she exactly??? In your twenties you see things much differently but when your frontal lobe does fully develop at 25 then & only then you see things that much more differently then you did prior to age of 25 just saying...
you’re still very young in your twenties. nothing rachel said was wrong or offensive, just that their experiences were different, she even said she’d love to talk to micha about how things were different for her. she wasn’t rude at all, people calling her a pick-me. i think she just feels bad that all that time she was having a blast on set/filming while micha was miserable and apparently, being treated like shit by everyone else. it probably hurts rachel just as much to hear that
She was a bit older so she knew better and maybe bc Mischa was the “it” girl so she got treated like that, she was still young tho but she had a normal experience
That was disgusting and I’m repulsed by Bilson trying to downplay Misha’s toxic experience. She knows how the industry works and threw Misha under the bus before even trying to be there for her costar.
@@sportshistorybuff319 As it was said in the video, Misha was younger than the other The oc actors and was the only person who portrayed her own age in the show. Misha was filming TV dramas at a pace that was beyond her age and there was also the stress of bullying. In short, while she says she was bullied, on the contrary, Rachel screwed up while trying to turn away the arrows pointed at her, saying "there was no toxicity or bullying on the set from my perspective". Because while people were saying that she was a bully herself, Rachel manipulated the situation and said, "There was no bullying to be seen." It's like ''people saying this person is bad but not to me'' situation.
I have heard Rachel admit she, among other cast members, behaved like a diva on set, but never heard her admit, or others suggest, she bullied others in general, or Mischa in particular. Are there sources asserting that specifically? The only other caveat I would have is that being younger than other cast members doesn't serve as a catch all get out of responsibility free card for Mischa to act like a diva at work. Teenagers are entirely capable of learning, accepting and demonstrating respect for others. Nor does being bullied by others serve as a blanket cop out for Mischa acting like a spoiled princess on set, if her behavior was a bad as rumored.
I would like to just comment that I have had the pleasure of meeting Mischa several times; I’m just here to say she came across as an empathetic, awesome human being & I wish her nothing but the best in life. ❤
@@angelaanaconda5837 What do you mean by “Naivety”?? She was being a Good Samaritan and helping to Save somebody’s LIFE…. Would you not do the same thing?
@@morticiagomez6166 you can't recognize mean girl you're gullible and will get taken easy. She saying what people wanted to hear watch that back over and look at her.
She’s an icon. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves. I think Mischa will have a career resurgence soon, there is unfinished business. She’s articulate, strong, aware, perceptive and talented.
As soon as he swore on his kids life she was like 😑 but seriously you can really see how intelligent and respectable she is, it's so awesome to see someones crazy fame story genuinely lead to such a relatable human
I feel like Perez was honestly jealous of the young girls that he bullied, and honestly he probably was projecting what he truly felt about himself. Perez hates women he always has
I absolutely love Mischa. I wish she hadn’t been exploited in her weakest moments like that. It really seems like it messed up her opportunities big time.
Actually, it was her ego that messed up Mischa's opportunities. She had become completely unreliable and obnoxiously arrogant. She treated most people like absolute garbage once her show took off, and for several years afterward. I never met her team, but I hung out with her enough times to feel confident in saying that NOBODY could tell Mischa what to do/not to do. I haven't watched this video yet, but scrolling through the comments, I'm getting the idea that it might be a fluff piece. Is this "deep dive" similar to Shane dawson's "documentary" about Tana, by any chance..?
@@cjb2749 hahaha no way! That’s neat that you have some personal insight. I guess I’m just soft bc I loved the OC so much. Idk how insightful this doc is. Mischa’s words in interviews don’t really match up with what other people say. But I definitely have some sympathy since she was a tabloid target in her teenage years.
@@cjb2749 while I appreciate your personal experience with her, this girl was a child actress so she 100% has my sympathy. Being in the limelight at such a young age can reallllly mess a person up bad. Also, didn’t she have an issue with drugs (I haven’t finished the video yet but I vaguely remember hearing about it back in the day)? Although it’s not an excuse for being a bad person, addiction straight up sucks and is hell for both the addict and the ppl around them. So I’m sure that played a part in her inflated ego. And like the other commenter said she was a tabloid target when she was a teenager and if you remember anything about the tabloids back then they were absolutely disgustingly savage to young girls. That couldn’t be easy.
This poor girl was abused by her despicable family & the dark, evil Hollywood system. Back in the day, people saw that there was a lot of corruption in Hollywood and exploitation, but I think we know it now, on a whole different level. These actors & superstars are abused by a very evil system & that system needs to fall. I pray she's doing better, today, & I hope you have a happy, blessed, and fulfilling life. Thanks for your amazing work on the OC!
Omg. If all those supposed friends really left Mischa to potentially die, that is awful. So sad. Also it highlights how connecting with people over things such as drugs or partying is unlikely to lead to lead to real friendship where everyone has one another's best interests at heart.
i dont think the production wanted to admit that Rachel Bilson was catered to because of her Nepotism, while Mischa was treated horribly. Everyone is kissing her ass because of her father grandfather, family name etc, while Mischa was undermined. No wonder Mischa left. And tbh its on the industry not the actresses or actors. Mischa got tired of it. She built her career by herself and that can hurt any young aspiring actor. The industry wants to give XYZ whose parent grandparent uncle aunt etc been in the business before. While entertainers like Mischa had to crawl their way to the top. Its taxing! Also want to note I am a fan of the Bilson family. I think they are generations of creative minds, really talented, but I can admit the favoritism.
no one should be blaming rachel though. her experiences were different because they were each in their own world. it doesn’t mean they didn’t care about each other, rachel just didn’t know genuinely what was going on. everyone says she was so much older but it was really only a couple years and you’re still very young and naive in your twenties. it probably hurts rachel just as much that michas experience was so terrible on the show they both worked on
Damn I knew she went through a ton of crap but I didn’t really realize how bad it truly was for so many years for her. I hope she’s happy, healthy, and at peace in her life these days♥️
So proud of Sophie and so proud to be Australian. We are known for our caring nature. We might be a weird country but we will always look after someone struggling. We also love an underdog.
@@hannah.e.023 that’s so lovely to hear. Please come and visit. It’s a really beautiful country. I live in the tropical north of Australia. The sun shines every day and it’s so beautiful and laid back here ☀️
We knew Mischa, her sister and her mom through print jobs that my daughter did with Mischa when they were younger. Mischa and her mom were so friendly and kind. We were so saddened to see the struggles she went through in her teen years.
What the hell is wrong with people?? Seriously? I feel terribly for her! Her mother is awful, that disgusting rat of a boyfriend is repulsive, her neighbor was a schmuck, etc etc One horrible entrusted person in her life after the other! This poor woman can't trust squat!
Man, she was surrounded by evil pricks. It hurt my heart watching thus because it reminded me so much of my own life, not that I'm famous but I too had an evil mother who only cared about herself. I struggled with anorexia and the moment I'd start getting better and gain 5 pounds people would make negative comments about it. I also had a guy who I had a crush on trick me by getting me to play a drinking game where he set me up to lose on every turn and then I slept with him and he recorded it without my knowledge and showed everyone I know. I was 15 and still everyone blamed me because society is completely sexist and anytime a woman or girl is assaulted, abused, or used it is always her fault 🙄. Of course she struggled with addiction when everyone around you uses and abuses you drugs and alcohol feel like your only friend.
I’m so sorry you got dealt that shit hand. I can relate to parts, definitely the POS mother part, and your last line is spot on. I hope life is better now 🤍
Just because someone decides to apologize doesn't mean you *have* to accept that apology right then. Its up to the person to decide when it gets accepted. PH caused her alotta heartbreak back then.
I wrote her off as an actress because I was a younger teen when she was an It girl. Just saw a trailer of her in a new amazon murder mystery movie and she was selling the role in under a minute. I couldn't believe it was her, I hope she gets more opportunities to act while keeping healthy and happy.
Perez Hilton did not age well, not physically or socially. He is one of the only people actually deserving of a cancellation. He is a nasty person who made money off of putting people down. I cannot for the life of me figure out how he is still relevant in any way. He is such a bully.
I used to read Perez Hilton as a teen because it was kind of like a trainwreck situation, I just couldn’t look away. The dude was so offensive and mean. I will **NEVER** forget the day I saw what that man looks like 🤢🤮 The nerve… the audacity…the injustice to humanity…!!- he has no right to talk about anyone’s appearance lookin the way he does 😂😢 It blew my mind
I had a huge crush on her. I am so sorry how life had treated her. I feel like she's a person born with a thin skin, and she was hurt so much by people close to her and the vultures around. I am happy to see her stand her ground so firmly now.
I think his “articles” are still out there, but it would be interesting to see a deep dive by deep dive (lol) on him. A comparison to what he does now would also be interesting. He hasn’t really changed that much, he just isn’t as blatant with his insults anymore
The fact she was convulsing at a day party stripped and left in a shower naked and vulnerable and her friends left her is beyond disgusting no matter what if you know someone or not, you always should protect them from harm especially when they can’t for themselves
Thank God hundreds of annoying Paparazzi weren't following me around taking my picture when I was 21. This poor girl. All of the young women of this time deserved so much freaking better.
To antagonize someone's illness for entertainment... I'm not even a celebrity, and I've had that happen to me in my old town. People are so fucking sick. I couldn't imagine experiencing what I did at a GLOBAL scale. I feel for her, and I so hope she has learned to truly love herself. She deserves that. People are so disgusting sometimes.
You guys have the most profound way of taking subjects or people I know nothing about, had no interest in and getting me obsessed with the stories by midway through the video. I have watched every video you’ve put out no matter the topic bc I know I’ll be hooked. And this is coming from an almost 40 year old mom 😅 Keep up the good work, I can’t get enough!! ❤
Her personal life has been so sad, it must be awful to know that people aren't looking out for you, especially your own mother - sounds absolutely horrific. Also, fair play to her calling out Perez directly, he's a disgusting human being
This era like 2000 to 2007 was horrible. I was in middle school in 2002. I was naturally a bigger girl. Having people like pairis Hilton and Nicole Richie etche and all these 00 sizes celebrities was extremely damaging. I was physically and emotionally abused by my peers which wasn't helpful because I had unrelated trauma already so being physically and emotionally abused by peers only added to my truama. Even one of my teachers would join in the bullying. I still yo this day have serious body issues and self worth because of that era. Also doesn't help that when id loose any amount weight instantly people started treating me human. Then if I'd gain a little back to being sub human. I wish I wasn't a kid during that era. It's really messed me up. I hope it's better now for teenage girls. I'm hopeful but weary.
I had the same middle school situation. I was chubby and was/am curvy, big butt, and that was not in. One thing the Kardashians did for me was make big butts so accepted LOL
I can relate. I ended up getting an eating disorder at 12. Started as bulimia and then anorexia too and then eventually I was over exercising on top of barely eating or eating so much I threw it up. Now I just binge eat :/
I was a teen during this time too and can confirm it was terrible. I never saw the show or payed much attention to tabloid culture so I find this fascinating.
Idk how much of your trauma and many young ladies trauma about their weight comes from other women? There are a lot of guys who don’t mind a women/girl that has a few extra pounds. Women really do place way to much of their worth on their looks tho imo
@@sococomfort22s34 the fact that you're trying to blame women for these problems and then say that women with "a few extra pounds" can be acceptable to men only because of their sexual value really says everything about your small mind
Running away shouldn’t be used against someone ever. It’s a natural instinct to run, it’s the flight in “fight or flight”, and if someone doesn’t feel like they’re safe and run away, there is nothing wrong with that.
The feeding of the pills, stimulants you keep Hager going and downers to get her to sleep is Judy Garland stuff. They also said Judy was far too “fat” to play Dorothy so she had to shed pounds. In the end it still wasn’t good enough. Judy developed a terrible addiction. This was probably early Hollywood, a solid 70 years prior to this. Some things never change, it’s sick. And I DESPISE weight scrutiny. I grew up with a mother who did it, it’s horrible with lifelong insecurities. I’m so happy we have Lizzo. And I loved celeb photos “exposing” cellulite! It shows they’re REAL PEOPLE. Although tabloid mags at store checkout lines photoshop them to make them worse. But now celebrities are beginning to be real with us. Her struggle with alcoholism really spoke to me too, as I also suffered big time. 2.5 years sober as of TODAY!
As I get older I'm becoming more empathetic towards the rich and famous. I cannot imagine how stressful and intrusive it must be. Wishing her all the best.
LOL, I'm 43 and I own every single episode of The OC that was ever made! I grew up watching 90210, and The OC was just as great when I was a little older.
I love Mischa, and cannot believe the people around her, especially family treating her like that, so selfish. Growing up in the “Hollywood” scene would be such an eye opener and easy to be led astray, which makes me sick. I truly hope Mischa has found peace and a loving supporting circle of friends who are actually loyal/trustworthy to her, as she deserves the best ❤
Geez - i know what lost/stolen innocence looks like….. Mich’s eyes/face convey this affliction as well as fatigue. I hope she is settling thru her continued sacred journey. Sigh.
There is almost a "curse" to being an excessively beautiful female. The intentions from others about what they want to benefit from having you in their space can easily fall to the selfish dark side... and the impact is devastating most times than not.
Are you from The OC? I ask cause I am and anywhere I go outside the state, people ask me where I’m from, I say Orange County, the response is always the same “OMG LIKE THE OC?!?!” Like yahhhh, but nahhhh hahaha Although I went to school right where The Real Housewives of OC was filmed, I know 3-4 people’s kids that were actually featured on the show. And have lived and worked in Laguna Beach… That damn tv show RUINED Laguna, it got soo touristy/busy and they built ritzier places in an effort to slightly gentrify it and it was never like that before.
@@drinkallthesunshine well, what did you expect living in the LA where lots of TV-Shows and Movies are filmed? Lmao But your reply is kinda funny..........when she only said she loved the OC.
I feel sorry for her and i hope she gets the renaissance and peace she deserves. Such a talent, the compilation of her scenes from Once and Again with Evan Rachel Wood REALLY showed that she was a promising young talent.
We like to think we've moved on from the 2010's era tabloids but people are still spreading her business and personal health information with the public like anyone has a right to know that without her consent. I hope she has a better future. She's an amazingly talented actress and deserves better than she's gotten.
The neighbor filming Mischa in a distressed state was not that long ago. i was in my mid 20s at the time. i can only hope Mischa understands her NEIGHBOR is the one that IMMEDIATELY looked bad. Filming someone in such a powerless state, without their knowledge or permission, is a highly questionable action, ESPECIALLY since Mischa hadn't posed any kind of threat to anyone's SAFETY--just her own. If I'm remembering correctly the neighbor was on the phone with 911 when she was filming and was speaking about Mischa with extreme contempt. Even without the being drugged/ GHB context, it objectively looked like Mischa was suffering an extreme TRAUMA response. Just call an ambulance....Why did you film anyone so DEFENSELESS and decide to monetize that? It's disturbing. Mischa has obviously experienced so much trauma throughout her life and then to be violated even further when you think you're safe in your own home...that is exceptionally tragic.
I think after her mom lost the case she got someone to slip her ghb hoping she did something or something darker happened to her :/ I already had thoughts of an conservatorship and the way she was acting screams ghb and you don’t remember shit. I was drugged too :/
This is one of my favorite deep dives from you. Amazing! Idk how you guys do it with all else you’ve got going on. Sending good vibes and strength to you ❤
This show came out during my HS years and it was the best time of my teen drama life! I was heartbroken when she died and I still haven’t watched season 4. 😢 I didn’t realize how younger than the other casts she was and looking back now as an adult that must have been insane pressure. I hope she is happy now. 😇
I remember despising her back in the day and couldn’t recall why.. now I know it was jealousy because pro ana blogs plastered her all over for “thinspo” and I resented her and any other Hollywood beauty with that body type. Man everyone was so mean to her and me included.
when you look at her mother is worth 20 million . Mischa is worth 2.5 million . her mother didnt do any film work from 2012 to 2016 . Mischa must had earned a shed load of money . far more than the 2.5 million shes worth , makes you wonder where the money went
This is so sad because in a lot of your videos featuring young actresses, it highlights how the adults around them are largely responsible for how they turned out. The years of pushing them into spotlight, beauty standards, pressure, and exploitation eventually drained them at some point and when they spiral out of control, the media and public demonize the heck out of them.
The 90s & 2000s were crazy when it came to tabloids and the power of newspapers, blogs and TV shows. They were unhinged and in the way they paraded other people around for money utterly disgusting. I am so glad we‘ve evolved from this era and basically most magazines and gossip publications are barely afloat at this point. Celebrities are able to control their image through social media a lot more and people are able to question and call our entire companies or people like Perez Hilton for bullying and abusing people online! I‘m so upset Misha had to go through this. She was my favorite character on the OC back in the day and the fact nobody wanted to watch after her death in season 3 shows just how popular she really was. Bless her soul ❤
Im so sorry for her having gone through all of that. I hope she finds some trustworthy people and a safe and successful life. Truly heartbreaking how people were always exploiting her, even her neighbours, family and ex-boyfriends. How deep do you have to Fall to not call an ambulance when you see someone struggling but to film them and sell it to some news outlet???
Wow! That was so great! Your work, the both of you (and BJ of course) inspires me sooooooo much to do my own deep dives for the space/ art word I live in. Thanks again!
That video of her outside screaming is CREEPY AF. She calls her mother a witch. This stuff is REAL . Another child sold to the Satanic Occultists of Hollywood
Even though there were other main characters, the whole show revolved around Marissa and her troubled life. When she died I felt so deeply because the character was such a sad soul and we didn't get to see her life turning around. Mischa being so young and portraying such a difficult character, I understand why she felt like it was a toxic environment, no other character had to have that level of misery and suffering so I imagine she was mentally tired and still being pushed to do more.
She has joined Neighbours in Australia. Will be very interesting to see what she will bring to the show in its long awaited return (after being cancelled last year) 😻
I am 32 now and I remember she was the IT paparazzi girl and super skinny and clearly unwell but she was the ideal in all the fashion magazines.. I can still see the low slung short skirts that she wore being on the hot list
My 1 complaint is that The OC was NOT “ahead of its time for Teen Dramas”. Beverly Hills 90210 literally paved the way and there isn’t a topic they didn’t cover. In fact I would say the OC was more of a up to date refresh of that show with a few very minor differences and BH 90210 was way more ground breaking than The OC.
So many similarities to Britney: TMZ and Perez HIlton used to shape the narrative, Alex WEINGARTEN, being drugged to work and then being hospitalized against her will and/or forced into rehab...it's the same script. It's lucky she didn't wind up in a conservatorship like Britney...
yay, think i suggested this a while back, but if not i am happy you're covering her. i remember her freaking out that her mom was horrible, and i remember dr phil telling her to embrace the dark or something.. Will miss the live, but looking forward to this. maybe they should've 5150d the mom before she made someone freak tf out 👀💭
Rachel saying that wasn't how she remembered it and the actress that played marissas mom stating that it's so sad for her to know NOW that mischa was struggling so much, while mischa has been talking about her issues with OC for that long, even leaving the show because of that, is baffling to me.
@@bergercookie I know, right? And you know what, that's actually okay! Some people look out for themselves, I understand that, but being phony years later, talking about it like 'if only we knew....', is what really annoys me.

Actually I'm sure I'm actually right, I'm right in just not bothering to spend any time amplifying the voices of nasty people like Perez, imo all we can do is ignore them until they stfu... but only in a perfect world ig....
Early 2000’s tabloids were so disgusting. Those people should be ashamed of themselves, especially Perez Hilton. He’s exactly the same. He still obsesses over certain people, he’s just slightly less overt in his insults. He sort of apologized, but isn’t doing much better.
Tabloids today are not really much better tho 🙄
Maybe so, but wtf do you call today? Over sharing and over "accepting" everything to the point of "CANCELLING" a person because of ridiculous standards based on hurt feelings? Wait 20 years...this era will be worse than it was back then....
Isn’t it so great this channel monetizes redistributing their filth? It’s so subtle and so empowering too
Or Tmz
Tabloids have been non disgusting.
Just because that wasn't Rachel Bilson's experience doesn't mean it wasn't Micha Barton's. It doesn't mean she was lying. Micha being younger like she was, I'm not surprised that her experience was different. It's sad that things went down for her the way they did. I hope she's doing great now
fr rachel was wrong
EXACTLY!!! I was SO DISGUSTED with Rachel after this. Rachel is such a bully and a mean girl. Sick.
@@miguelstarboy5572 Exactly! Rachel is disgusting for dismissing the hardships of other women
Yeah. But.
She said if Mischa lied about her then what else is she saying could be a lie.
Misha DID say stuff about Rachel’s contract that can be easily checked so 🤷♀️
She also said she’d like to talk to her. Maybe they did talk, maybe they didn’t. That’s not important.
Y’all can’t say Rachel is this or that just cause of ONE CLIP, people 🤦♀️
And there’s always two sides to every story.
Yeah I absolutely hate when people do that. I think it's their way out of taking accountability for what they saw.
Mischa never gets her flowers for being one of the top it girls of the aughts, and she often gets lost in the shuffle of Britney, Lindsay, Nicole, and Paris. She was equally tormented and exploited by the media, and her career has never recovered. Thank you for making this video, because Mischa was and
is a queen!
Yeah she was treated badly it's sad that her career hasn't recovered
Exactly! She did deserve to keep on going but the media did the work on putting it all down, is just not fair.
I mean, she recently starred in a new Whodunnit movie. Her career isn't over.
and then just like Britney shows up and starts making random accusations that no one else backs and all the female fans of one show are now attacking Ben Makenzie.
Certainly was the most beautiful of those girls.
One thing I think a lot of people skip over is the sexualization she went through really young. She did a lot of adult themed films growing up, and was topless at 17 for an Enrique Iglesias video. She was also on an episode of Fastlane where she tries to seduce an adult while wearing a bra and panties, and this was before the OC so she was for sure underaged. I’m sure she was exposed to a lot of things really young, and that’s a recipe for disaster. Always rooting for her though and she seems in a much better place these days.
Her parents have a LOT to answer for
Where were her parents when all of this was going on? 🤔
@@TomikaKelly I think her parents were knowingly exploiting her because I remember when she had a breakdown, she blamed her MOTHER for exploiting her. It reminded me of Amanda Bynes…
These are parents who are involved in the satanic Hollywood Cults and don’t consider child Abbuse as a bad thing…..
@@TomikaKelly Her mom was her manager. :/ She sued her in 2015 for withholding earnings, kicking her out of a home she bought + exploiting her. I'm sure she even said in an interview (or maybe the oc podcast), that at first she didn't even really want to do The O.C (or any acting work at that time) because she wanted to finish school in NY first.
Sadly, that is a common experience for child actors as they grow up.
Misha Barton was THE reason to watch OC. It wasn't a surprise the show had died with her character gone. She is an endless beauty and her voice is quite special, too.
Truth! I love her voice! She could narrate a book or do a podcast. I especially love hearing her tell her story now with the tone of a measured, mature and wise woman whose learned a lot over the years!
i don't have anything against misha but i watche the show because of adam brody and rachel bilson 🙃
Voices are cool , theure important imo...
So the reason to watch the show is cause she was pretty (…and had a decent speaking voice)?
@@pohandrek8182 yeah I thought Misha's character was boring. Seth and Summer were funny and the reason I watched
A Deep Dive on Perez Hilton would be a hell of a thing, if you guys were into it.
Yes yes 👍
Yes!!! You know that he's got a bunch of skeletons
Love this!
yes
Oh my god please!!!!
Its so disgusting what child actors go through and then people wonder why they have trauma later in life.
Her personal team and the professional team of the OC were both so abusive. They exploited her until they couldnt make money off of her.
depraved conditioning......nothing more!
True and the way the media treat young women that go through this Vs men...
I can't even imagine being filmed while I was in my early 20s clubbing like the majority of people that age do...then being judged for it.
Sexism actors in the 20s don’t get judged for partying 🙄
@@djwalkerfemaledj 'boys will be boys' ugh
This!! Damn so true
If you don’t want the paparazzi following your every move, and you find it so overwhelming, maaaaybe don’t go partying your face off at every LA club. 🤷🏼♀️
@SoCalJellybean Yes, don't enjoy your life. You're famous and rich so you don't deserve privacy 🙄 (sarcasm in case you think I'm actually agreeing with you)
And everyone still has the balls to talk shit about Britney and how she's behaving, and here we have ANOTHER celebrity who was being fed pills to keep her making money for other people. I wish more people would have empathy for these celebrities. Just because they're beautiful and rich doesn't mean they are happy and healthy, or even safe.
Yeah literally any person could get famous at any point, they still should be treated with basic human decency and respect :/ so many people don't think so because they chose that career
I am sorry for Britney but she should really just stop breeding. No child needs a mother that traumatized.
@@esikazemese You’re no better than every other people who think that they are so wonderful you can judge and biatch about others
@@esikazemese And Britney IS acting wild. Like you said, she isn’t in any headspace to be having any more children. I’d worry for them and her.
It's human trafficking and the people involved need to be charged.
The real problem here is Mischa’s parent’s betrayal of their daughter….a very deep wound inflicted upon her. Also the jealousy, lack of support and betrayal of others. I hope she finds her way again.
Yes, it sounds like she was treated badly by many people. I hope she gets a great new opportunity 💖
Her mother sounds like a pos.. if your parents arent there to support you then who is??
💔💔💔
Thank you for saying that; I feel the same 😢
How sad, her yelling off the balcony, someone recording her in a vulnerable moment. She was screaming about her mom. Obviously distraught.😢 so many people around her, hurt her.
I'm so glad you said that, I feel the same 😢
Dave Chappelle said it best " To call someone crazy it's dismissive. They're not crazy"
Plus he sold it to tabloids
Literally processing trauma about her stage mom.
@catpeople11 I'll have to read about that, i didn't know about her stage mom. You are so right about processing trauma.
*Rachel Bison, the woman who played "Summer," was incredibly rude and dismissive of what Mischa went through. She has a podcast with the actress who played Summer's mom and basically negated everything Mischa went through and I was immediately turned off from her forever for that. Just because Rachel had a good experience doesn't mean Mischa did!!! Shame on a fellow woman to dismiss the horrible experiences of another. Also, Mischa stuck to the same stories forever so I believe her.*
*It's because Rachel is still best friends with Josh Schwartz, the creator so The OC, so of course she doesn't want to bad-mouth the show in any way. Also, Rachel WAS added last minute. Rachel is such a mean girl.*
*I feel so badly for Mischa, she had such a hard life from such a young age.*
The podcast is with the woman who played Marissa Cooper's mother 🙂
Agreed. Rachel was barely in the show for the first few episodes. Also, if I’m not mistaken Bilson is a nepo-child. I always found Mischa’s acting a LOT better. Marissa was like 20 characters in one.
I disliked Rachel Bilson after what she did with Rami Malek (posted a throwback photo with him when he won an Oscar). The picture was unflattering and he asked her to remove it. It gave me such bad vibes, like that person from high school who hasn’t spoken to you in years but the moment you make it big they want everyone to know that they were friends with you.
I immediately disliked her when she needed to loudly discuss her sex life with Bill Hader on her podcast a full year after they broke up. He has always been super private in relationships and she knew that. Just wanted more attention since she hasn’t had a true career in decades.
I always got mean girl energy from her. Thanks for confirming!
Good for her for not accepting Perez's "apology." I almost vomited at him being the godfather of Heidi and Spencer's child but then remembered Heidi and Spencer were always vomit inducing to me so I shouldn't be that surprised.
She’s real for that. He was cutting her off, trying to get words in to guilt her into accepting his late-ass, halfhearted “apology” for the cameras. I feel bad that Heidi and Spencer chose a piece of trash to be the godfather of their child - mostly for the child. Luckily they don’t have any daughters for Perez to bully.
:DDDDDDDD Love this!
@@hannah.e.023 I mean….Speidi sold stories to Him about Lauren on The Hills, so it’s no surprise to me lol
Yea it was clearly fake I did not believe one word and what a coincidence he looks like a bear in hibernation while he’s criticizing completely healthy girls even thin on their weight
“I saw things differently.” DUH you were an adult in your twenties with your frontal lobe fully formed. Mischa was a child and should have been more protected than the rest.
Well how old was she exactly??? In your twenties you see things much differently but when your frontal lobe does fully develop at 25 then & only then you see things that much more differently then you did prior to age of 25 just saying...
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 did you not watch the video?
you’re still very young in your twenties. nothing rachel said was wrong or offensive, just that their experiences were different, she even said she’d love to talk to micha about how things were different for her. she wasn’t rude at all, people calling her a pick-me. i think she just feels bad that all that time she was having a blast on set/filming while micha was miserable and apparently, being treated like shit by everyone else. it probably hurts rachel just as much to hear that
She was a bit older so she knew better and maybe bc Mischa was the “it” girl so she got treated like that, she was still young tho but she had a normal experience
Rachel Bielson invalidating Mischa proves that she was def one of the bullies. Mischa has stuck to her story for twenty years now
That was disgusting and I’m repulsed by Bilson trying to downplay Misha’s toxic experience. She knows how the industry works and threw Misha under the bus before even trying to be there for her costar.
Did Rachel actually accuse Mischa of lying, or did she simply say she didn't remember/know of such bullying?
@@sportshistorybuff319 As it was said in the video, Misha was younger than the other The oc actors and was the only person who portrayed her own age in the show. Misha was filming TV dramas at a pace that was beyond her age and there was also the stress of bullying. In short, while she says she was bullied, on the contrary, Rachel screwed up while trying to turn away the arrows pointed at her, saying "there was no toxicity or bullying on the set from my perspective". Because while people were saying that she was a bully herself, Rachel manipulated the situation and said, "There was no bullying to be seen." It's like ''people saying this person is bad but not to me'' situation.
I have heard Rachel admit she, among other cast members, behaved like a diva on set, but never heard her admit, or others suggest, she bullied others in general, or Mischa in particular. Are there sources asserting that specifically? The only other caveat I would have is that being younger than other cast members doesn't serve as a catch all get out of responsibility free card for Mischa to act like a diva at work. Teenagers are entirely capable of learning, accepting and demonstrating respect for others. Nor does being bullied by others serve as a blanket cop out for Mischa acting like a spoiled princess on set, if her behavior was a bad as rumored.
It is known that Mischa was bullied by other employees not the main cast such Rachel, Ben, Adam, etc.
I would like to just comment that I have had the pleasure of meeting Mischa several times; I’m just here to say she came across as an empathetic, awesome human being & I wish her nothing but the best in life. ❤
Wow Sophie Munk is so kind! I am glad she helped Mischa when no one else would including her "best friends".
Naivety

She’s an icon. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves. I think Mischa will have a career resurgence soon, there is unfinished business. She’s articulate, strong, aware, perceptive and talented.
Dude, WTF were her parents thinking allowing her to play in a movie like that (whatever it was called - that first one when she was 10)?
Money
Thank you!! I was looking for comments about that movie! It was so gross!
That movie looked really messed up. Was it written by a predator?
@@sarah3796Only a predator would not only think of it but put it on the screen
One of drew Barrymore's first movies was creepy as well
As soon as he swore on his kids life she was like 😑 but seriously you can really see how intelligent and respectable she is, it's so awesome to see someones crazy fame story genuinely lead to such a relatable human
Yes you could see right through him
I feel like Perez was honestly jealous of the young girls that he bullied, and honestly he probably was projecting what he truly felt about himself. Perez hates women he always has
He’s a self loathing sloth and he seems fruity don’t know why he would hate women, his blog was viscous don’t know why it got any attention
Perez Hilton is so messed up for the things he’s said about these women. I don’t know if there is a way he can make up for it truly.
Ikr
I absolutely love Mischa. I wish she hadn’t been exploited in her weakest moments like that. It really seems like it messed up her opportunities big time.
Actually, it was her ego that messed up Mischa's opportunities. She had become completely unreliable and obnoxiously arrogant. She treated most people like absolute garbage once her show took off, and for several years afterward.
I never met her team, but I hung out with her enough times to feel confident in saying that NOBODY could tell Mischa what to do/not to do.
I haven't watched this video yet, but scrolling through the comments, I'm getting the idea that it might be a fluff piece. Is this "deep dive" similar to Shane dawson's "documentary" about Tana, by any chance..?
@@cjb2749 hahaha no way! That’s neat that you have some personal insight. I guess I’m just soft bc I loved the OC so much.
Idk how insightful this doc is. Mischa’s words in interviews don’t really match up with what other people say. But I definitely have some sympathy since she was a tabloid target in her teenage years.
@@cjb2749 Cool. Why don't you watch it before commenting?
@@cjb2749 while I appreciate your personal experience with her, this girl was a child actress so she 100% has my sympathy. Being in the limelight at such a young age can reallllly mess a person up bad. Also, didn’t she have an issue with drugs (I haven’t finished the video yet but I vaguely remember hearing about it back in the day)? Although it’s not an excuse for being a bad person, addiction straight up sucks and is hell for both the addict and the ppl around them. So I’m sure that played a part in her inflated ego. And like the other commenter said she was a tabloid target when she was a teenager and if you remember anything about the tabloids back then they were absolutely disgustingly savage to young girls. That couldn’t be easy.
I remember the BEBE clothing brand, she was so beautiful on the campaigns just stunning… so unfair that she was overworked and unappreciated 😢
This poor girl was abused by her despicable family & the dark, evil Hollywood system. Back in the day, people saw that there was a lot of corruption in Hollywood and exploitation, but I think we know it now, on a whole different level. These actors & superstars are abused by a very evil system & that system needs to fall. I pray she's doing better, today, & I hope you have a happy, blessed, and fulfilling life. Thanks for your amazing work on the OC!
Omg. If all those supposed friends really left Mischa to potentially die, that is awful. So sad. Also it highlights how connecting with people over things such as drugs or partying is unlikely to lead to lead to real friendship where everyone has one another's best interests at heart.
i dont think the production wanted to admit that Rachel Bilson was catered to because of her Nepotism, while Mischa was treated horribly. Everyone is kissing her ass because of her father grandfather, family name etc, while Mischa was undermined. No wonder Mischa left. And tbh its on the industry not the actresses or actors. Mischa got tired of it. She built her career by herself and that can hurt any young aspiring actor. The industry wants to give XYZ whose parent grandparent uncle aunt etc been in the business before. While entertainers like Mischa had to crawl their way to the top. Its taxing! Also want to note I am a fan of the Bilson family. I think they are generations of creative minds, really talented, but I can admit the favoritism.
no one should be blaming rachel though. her experiences were different because they were each in their own world. it doesn’t mean they didn’t care about each other, rachel just didn’t know genuinely what was going on. everyone says she was so much older but it was really only a couple years and you’re still very young and naive in your twenties. it probably hurts rachel just as much that michas experience was so terrible on the show they both worked on
Damn I knew she went through a ton of crap but I didn’t really realize how bad it truly was for so many years for her. I hope she’s happy, healthy, and at peace in her life these days♥️

We knew Mischa, her sister and her mom through print jobs that my daughter did with Mischa when they were younger. Mischa and her mom were so friendly and kind. We were so saddened to see the struggles she went through in her teen years.
What the hell is wrong with people?? Seriously? I feel terribly for her! Her mother is awful, that disgusting rat of a boyfriend is repulsive, her neighbor was a schmuck, etc etc One horrible entrusted person in her life after the other! This poor woman can't trust squat!
You know, you can actually see the pain in her eyes. She doesn’t look happy at all. Is it any wonder with what she was put through.. Poor girl..
Man, she was surrounded by evil pricks. It hurt my heart watching thus because it reminded me so much of my own life, not that I'm famous but I too had an evil mother who only cared about herself. I struggled with anorexia and the moment I'd start getting better and gain 5 pounds people would make negative comments about it. I also had a guy who I had a crush on trick me by getting me to play a drinking game where he set me up to lose on every turn and then I slept with him and he recorded it without my knowledge and showed everyone I know. I was 15 and still everyone blamed me because society is completely sexist and anytime a woman or girl is assaulted, abused, or used it is always her fault 🙄. Of course she struggled with addiction when everyone around you uses and abuses you drugs and alcohol feel like your only friend.
Aurora please feel hugged and loved you’re awesome ❤ you reflect and still such a good human who can feel and talk about it. Wish u the best ❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry this happened to you. Sending you all the positive vibes ✨
I’m so sorry you got dealt that shit hand. I can relate to parts, definitely the POS mother part, and your last line is spot on. I hope life is better now 🤍
The way she responds to paparazzi you can tell she's a GOOD person. A very good person, which very bad things had happened.
Just because someone decides to apologize doesn't mean you *have* to accept that apology right then. Its up to the person to decide when it gets accepted. PH caused her alotta heartbreak back then.
I wrote her off as an actress because I was a younger teen when she was an It girl. Just saw a trailer of her in a new amazon murder mystery movie and she was selling the role in under a minute. I couldn't believe it was her, I hope she gets more opportunities to act while keeping healthy and happy.
Never was a fan or watched but I feel very badly for her. She seems like a very kind intelligent woman and she didn’t deserve all that. Incredibly sad
Thank you so much for listening to my request and making this video. It was so detailed and well made.
Perez Hilton did not age well, not physically or socially. He is one of the only people actually deserving of a cancellation. He is a nasty person who made money off of putting people down. I cannot for the life of me figure out how he is still relevant in any way. He is such a bully.
I used to read Perez Hilton as a teen because it was kind of like a trainwreck situation, I just couldn’t look away. The dude was so offensive and mean. I will **NEVER** forget the day I saw what that man looks like 🤢🤮 The nerve… the audacity…the injustice to humanity…!!- he has no right to talk about anyone’s appearance lookin the way he does 😂😢 It blew my mind
Same!
Right? I was remembering his picture, while his blog post about Misha Barton was read in the video. The nerve of that man.
He does look like a cave man
Same here. I can't believe i read that toxic stuff
Exactly. Im shocked that he ever bullied Mischa about her weight when he was a baby Rhino himself. Maybe he realized himself after karma hit him
I had a huge crush on her. I am so sorry how life had treated her. I feel like she's a person born with a thin skin, and she was hurt so much by people close to her and the vultures around. I am happy to see her stand her ground so firmly now.
Please be kinder to her than Perez Hilton's blog was.
Perez is trash
Someone needs to do a deep dive on how awful he was in the early 2000s
He's a douchebag imo doesn't seem to really want to accept what an awful human he was.
he makes me SICK
I think his “articles” are still out there, but it would be interesting to see a deep dive by deep dive (lol) on him. A comparison to what he does now would also be interesting. He hasn’t really changed that much, he just isn’t as blatant with his insults anymore
heartbreaking to see such a beautiful girl being destroyed by everyone around her. She deserved so much better
The fact she was convulsing at a day party stripped and left in a shower naked and vulnerable and her friends left her is beyond disgusting no matter what if you know someone or not, you always should protect them from harm especially when they can’t for themselves
The Y2K era (early 2000s) such a WILD fever dream... And then a completely different era starts 2009.
Thank God hundreds of annoying Paparazzi weren't following me around taking my picture when I was 21. This poor girl. All of the young women of this time deserved so much freaking better.
💗💓
To antagonize someone's illness for entertainment... I'm not even a celebrity, and I've had that happen to me in my old town. People are so fucking sick. I couldn't imagine experiencing what I did at a GLOBAL scale. I feel for her, and I so hope she has learned to truly love herself. She deserves that. People are so disgusting sometimes.
Im glad she spoke up to Perez and called him out
She's my fav it girl of the 00's. Hope she gets all the money and justice she deserves.
You guys have the most profound way of taking subjects or people I know nothing about, had no interest in and getting me obsessed with the stories by midway through the video. I have watched every video you’ve put out no matter the topic bc I know I’ll be hooked. And this is coming from an almost 40 year old mom 😅 Keep up the good work, I can’t get enough!! ❤
Thank you so much 🥹💜

You always do such an amazing job on these deep dives! Don't ever stop.
That movie Mischa did when she was eleven is disgusting. And her parents really allowed it... Of course smh.
Her personal life has been so sad, it must be awful to know that people aren't looking out for you, especially your own mother - sounds absolutely horrific. Also, fair play to her calling out Perez directly, he's a disgusting human being
Totally 💯
This era like 2000 to 2007 was horrible. I was in middle school in 2002. I was naturally a bigger girl. Having people like pairis Hilton and Nicole Richie etche and all these 00 sizes celebrities was extremely damaging. I was physically and emotionally abused by my peers which wasn't helpful because I had unrelated trauma already so being physically and emotionally abused by peers only added to my truama.
Even one of my teachers would join in the bullying.
I still yo this day have serious body issues and self worth because of that era.
Also doesn't help that when id loose any amount weight instantly people started treating me human. Then if I'd gain a little back to being sub human.
I wish I wasn't a kid during that era. It's really messed me up. I hope it's better now for teenage girls. I'm hopeful but weary.
I had the same middle school situation. I was chubby and was/am curvy, big butt, and that was not in. One thing the Kardashians did for me was make big butts so accepted LOL
I can relate. I ended up getting an eating disorder at 12. Started as bulimia and then anorexia too and then eventually I was over exercising on top of barely eating or eating so much I threw it up. Now I just binge eat :/
I was a teen during this time too and can confirm it was terrible. I never saw the show or payed much attention to tabloid culture so I find this fascinating.
Idk how much of your trauma and many young ladies trauma about their weight comes from other women? There are a lot of guys who don’t mind a women/girl that has a few extra pounds. Women really do place way to much of their worth on their looks tho imo
@@sococomfort22s34 the fact that you're trying to blame women for these problems and then say that women with "a few extra pounds" can be acceptable to men only because of their sexual value really says everything about your small mind
Running away shouldn’t be used against someone ever. It’s a natural instinct to run, it’s the flight in “fight or flight”, and if someone doesn’t feel like they’re safe and run away, there is nothing wrong with that.
The feeding of the pills, stimulants you keep Hager going and downers to get her to sleep is Judy Garland stuff. They also said Judy was far too “fat” to play Dorothy so she had to shed pounds. In the end it still wasn’t good enough. Judy developed a terrible addiction. This was probably early Hollywood, a solid 70 years prior to this. Some things never change, it’s sick. And I DESPISE weight scrutiny. I grew up with a mother who did it, it’s horrible with lifelong insecurities. I’m so happy we have Lizzo. And I loved celeb photos “exposing” cellulite! It shows they’re REAL PEOPLE. Although tabloid mags at store checkout lines photoshop them to make them worse. But now celebrities are beginning to be real with us. Her struggle with alcoholism really spoke to me too, as I also suffered big time. 2.5 years sober as of TODAY!
As I get older I'm becoming more empathetic towards the rich and famous. I cannot imagine how stressful and intrusive it must be. Wishing her all the best.
LOL, I'm 43 and I own every single episode of The OC that was ever made! I grew up watching 90210, and The OC was just as great when I was a little older.
I love Mischa, and cannot believe the people around her, especially family treating her like that, so selfish. Growing up in the “Hollywood” scene would be such an eye opener and easy to be led astray, which makes me sick. I truly hope Mischa has found peace and a loving supporting circle of friends who are actually loyal/trustworthy to her, as she deserves the best ❤
Geez - i know what lost/stolen innocence looks like….. Mich’s eyes/face convey this affliction as well as fatigue. I hope she is settling thru her continued sacred journey. Sigh.
She was so good actress on the oc, she deserve better
There is almost a "curse" to being an excessively beautiful female. The intentions from others about what they want to benefit from having you in their space can easily fall to the selfish dark side... and the impact is devastating most times than not.
OMG!!! I’m SO excited for this!!! I loved The OC as a teenager!
Are you from The OC?
I ask cause I am and anywhere I go outside the state, people ask me where I’m from, I say Orange County, the response is always the same “OMG LIKE THE OC?!?!”
Like yahhhh, but nahhhh hahaha
Although I went to school right where The Real Housewives of OC was filmed, I know 3-4 people’s kids that were actually featured on the show. And have lived and worked in Laguna Beach… That damn tv show RUINED Laguna, it got soo touristy/busy and they built ritzier places in an effort to slightly gentrify it and it was never like that before.
@@drinkallthesunshine well, what did you expect living in the LA where lots of TV-Shows and Movies are filmed? Lmao
But your reply is kinda funny..........when she only said she loved the OC.
She will always be one my favorite actresses from the 2000s. Her character in The O.C. meant a lot to me. Mischa deserves better ❤❤❤
I feel sorry for her and i hope she gets the renaissance and peace she deserves. Such a talent, the compilation of her scenes from Once and Again with Evan Rachel Wood REALLY showed that she was a promising young talent.
That's right. What an awesome show.
Bring back Mischa - she’s an awesome artist and I know she has a good soul ❤
We like to think we've moved on from the 2010's era tabloids but people are still spreading her business and personal health information with the public like anyone has a right to know that without her consent. I hope she has a better future. She's an amazingly talented actress and deserves better than she's gotten.
I have a new respect for Sophie Monk. Some friends leaving Micha to die! ❤️ From Australia 🐨
Yeah respect her 💯
The neighbor filming Mischa in a distressed state was not that long ago. i was in my mid 20s at the time. i can only hope Mischa understands her NEIGHBOR is the one that IMMEDIATELY looked bad. Filming someone in such a powerless state, without their knowledge or permission, is a highly questionable action, ESPECIALLY since Mischa hadn't posed any kind of threat to anyone's SAFETY--just her own. If I'm remembering correctly the neighbor was on the phone with 911 when she was filming and was speaking about Mischa with extreme contempt. Even without the being drugged/ GHB context, it objectively looked like Mischa was suffering an extreme TRAUMA response. Just call an ambulance....Why did you film anyone so DEFENSELESS and decide to monetize that? It's disturbing. Mischa has obviously experienced so much trauma throughout her life and then to be violated even further when you think you're safe in your own home...that is exceptionally tragic.
I think after her mom lost the case she got someone to slip her ghb hoping she did something or something darker happened to her :/ I already had thoughts of an conservatorship and the way she was acting screams ghb and you don’t remember shit. I was drugged too :/
Poor Mischa she really seems very intelligent I hate that she didn’t have a supportive circle like she needed
That eye roll, tone of voice and the mh hhhhhhm when Perez said "I swear on my kids life" 😂 that was amazing!!
This is one of my favorite deep dives from you. Amazing! Idk how you guys do it with all else you’ve got going on. Sending good vibes and strength to you ❤
This show came out during my HS years and it was the best time of my teen drama life!
I was heartbroken when she died and I still haven’t watched season 4. 😢
I didn’t realize how younger than the other casts she was and looking back now as an adult that must have been insane pressure. I hope she is happy now. 😇
I remember despising her back in the day and couldn’t recall why.. now I know it was jealousy because pro ana blogs plastered her all over for “thinspo” and I resented her and any other Hollywood beauty with that body type. Man everyone was so mean to her and me included.
when you look at her mother is worth 20 million . Mischa is worth 2.5 million . her mother didnt do any film work from 2012 to 2016 . Mischa must had earned a shed load of money . far more than the 2.5 million shes worth , makes you wonder where the money went
This was absolutely so sad!!!! How kids are treated in the industry is absolutely so sickening!!!
This is so sad because in a lot of your videos featuring young actresses, it highlights how the adults around them are largely responsible for how they turned out. The years of pushing them into spotlight, beauty standards, pressure, and exploitation eventually drained them at some point and when they spiral out of control, the media and public demonize the heck out of them.
God the early 2000s where toxic af
waiting for nicole richies docu series !!! i literally cannot wait
The 90s & 2000s were crazy when it came to tabloids and the power of newspapers, blogs and TV shows. They were unhinged and in the way they paraded other people around for money utterly disgusting. I am so glad we‘ve evolved from this era and basically most magazines and gossip publications are barely afloat at this point. Celebrities are able to control their image through social media a lot more and people are able to question and call our entire companies or people like Perez Hilton for bullying and abusing people online! I‘m so upset Misha had to go through this. She was my favorite character on the OC back in the day and the fact nobody wanted to watch after her death in season 3 shows just how popular she really was. Bless her soul ❤
Im so sorry for her having gone through all of that. I hope she finds some trustworthy people and a safe and successful life. Truly heartbreaking how people were always exploiting her, even her neighbours, family and ex-boyfriends. How deep do you have to Fall to not call an ambulance when you see someone struggling but to film them and sell it to some news outlet???
I think someone had a vendetta against her because she was hunted by the media for no known reason. It just didn’t make any sense.
Her face while Perez tries to apologize is priceless
Wow! That was so great! Your work, the both of you (and BJ of course) inspires me sooooooo much to do my own deep dives for the space/ art word I live in. Thanks again!
Do it 👏👏👏🥰
So happy you're doing this on her!!
Sophie Monk is an absolute sweetheart. She's a TV presenter over here in Australia
She could have left out the last part though.
Well not really she's showing his Hollywood really is full of fake, shallow, and full of backstabbers
That video of her outside screaming is CREEPY AF. She calls her mother a witch. This stuff is REAL . Another child sold to the Satanic Occultists of Hollywood
That was so good. I loved every minute of it. Looking forward to your next deep dive.😊
I’ve always been such a fan of Mischa Barton, she’s such a good actress. She’s done some really good movies too. I hope she’s doing well now ❤
You guys are on it! Covering all the topics, like in my head! Loved the OC, was literally one of my all time favorite tv shows!
Even though there were other main characters, the whole show revolved around Marissa and her troubled life. When she died I felt so deeply because the character was such a sad soul and we didn't get to see her life turning around. Mischa being so young and portraying such a difficult character, I understand why she felt like it was a toxic environment, no other character had to have that level of misery and suffering so I imagine she was mentally tired and still being pushed to do more.
She has joined Neighbours in Australia. Will be very interesting to see what she will bring to the show in its long awaited return (after being cancelled last year) 😻
Wait what? 😮
I am 32 now and I remember she was the IT paparazzi girl and super skinny and clearly unwell but she was the ideal in all the fashion magazines.. I can still see the low slung short skirts that she wore being on the hot list
The OC was the best show ever. I scream cried when Marissa died🥲
No way this is how I find out Marissa dies. I’m still on season 1
@@TruthsInTrauma I am so sorry😅
My 1 complaint is that The OC was NOT “ahead of its time for Teen Dramas”. Beverly Hills 90210 literally paved the way and there isn’t a topic they didn’t cover. In fact I would say the OC was more of a up to date refresh of that show with a few very minor differences and BH 90210 was way more ground breaking than The OC.
Great Job as always Shelby!!
Thank you 💚
So many similarities to Britney: TMZ and Perez HIlton used to shape the narrative, Alex WEINGARTEN, being drugged to work and then being hospitalized against her will and/or forced into rehab...it's the same script. It's lucky she didn't wind up in a conservatorship like Britney...
Lindsay Lohan also escaped the conservatorship attempt.
I'm Irish. God help Micha ..she was a brilliant wee star as a child.
yay, think i suggested this a while back, but if not i am happy you're covering her.
i remember her freaking out that her mom was horrible, and i remember dr phil telling her to embrace the dark or something..
Will miss the live, but looking forward to this.
maybe they should've 5150d the mom before she made someone freak tf out 👀💭
Rachel saying that wasn't how she remembered it and the actress that played marissas mom stating that it's so sad for her to know NOW that mischa was struggling so much, while mischa has been talking about her issues with OC for that long, even leaving the show because of that, is baffling to me.
They were downplaying it all just to protect their jobs in the series. They never cared about her at all. It’s a shame
@@bergercookie I know, right? And you know what, that's actually okay! Some people look out for themselves, I understand that, but being phony years later, talking about it like 'if only we knew....', is what really annoys me.
