Biggest thing I’ve learned lately (unfortunately from an IRL situation) is that if someone gives you a creepy feeling, even if you can’t point to any specific reasons or give any examples why, trust that feeling. There are many different things I can add, but the bottom line is trust your gut … every time.
OMG YES! 6th sense is reaaal, we are energy beings whether people like it or not. I had an off feeling about someone not long ago and later found out that same person killed someone later that day, do not ever go against your gut feeling
Yes!! If someone makes you uncomfortable, if there’s a ‘red flag’ warning, whatever …. pay attention and trust that. We have all kinds of ways of telling someone isn’t safe that we don’t consciously recognize. We get all kinds of clues from body language, the way people use their eyes, subtle changes in tone of voice, the way someone says something, the words they choose, etc.. We notice all of these things subconsciously and they let us know whether someone is safe or not. Trust that if you feel uncomfortable or creeped out, you’re absolutely right to feel that way and walk away, make yourself safe, tell someone, anything you need to do to protect yourself! We have these intuitions or feelings because they are survival skills and have kept people alive for thousands of years. Also, be aware that ANYone can be creepy - authority figures, mentors, teachers, doctors, pastors, therapists, etc.. Sadly, there are a lot of icky people out there. Be safe y’all!
As a mom, I do judge the parents. We know when something's off, we really do. No excuses at all. Most of those parents knew and either did nothing cause their kids were bringing $$$ to the table, or they were just irresponsible and neglectful.
As a mother of a 5 year old. I’m there with you. when men tell me how beautiful my daughter is or repeat it. I’m like ok what the fuck!!You told me once already. So that intuition feeling is spot on. There are pedos everywhere. We need to start a campaign called “SAVE OUR CHILDREN!”.
Yeah I agree. I feel bad for Drake Bell’s father. He did everything he was supposed to do to protect his son only to be overridden by the mom. He told her not to leave their son alone with that man and she did because she didn’t want to drive him places. wtf?! Also, Amanda Bynes’ parents are disgusting to me. She spent hours a day locked in an office with an adult man. No wonder she’s so messed up.
I totally agree. I do judge the parents for putting their children in this situation for financial gain. We see it happening more and more on TikTok as well with these TikTok influencer moms, who are basically pawning their children off to pedos online.
Yess! I just commented the same thing practically! I will most definitely judge someone who doesn't put their kids needs and safety above all! In this day of social media it's so sad and infuriating to see these parents putting their kids out there in skimpy clothes shaking their butts and doing suggestive things in order to make $ and gain some followers. I only have people I know in real life on my profiles and I still am very careful of what I post of my children. There's are too many sickos in this world!
My co-workers and I were talking about this the other day; how EVERY SINGLE top level industry we grew up watching other kids in: Hollywood / TV, Gymnastics, Music Industry, AND religious organizations have been exposed for abuse. I envied these children and teens growing up, thinking they were so lucky, and behind the scenes they were going through unimaginable abuse. Our eyes are being opened 😢
When I was a little girl, I think I was 6, I was "discovered" and offered modeling gigs. I also grew up in the 90s and wanted to be a Disney kid SO BAD. But my mom said no way. She didn't tell me why then, but as an adult, she shared that she was terrified that something like this would happen to me. I was so devastated at 6, but now I am so, so thankful. I feel like she shielded me from a bullet. I can't even watch these documentaries because that could have been me.
When I was 5 I did some modeling for tv commercials. The only one I actually remember was a chicken nugget commercial and hated doing it, but at least my mom was with me. Well, one day a car came by the house to pick me up to do another commercial. It was a scheduled pickup with one of the assistants who was supposed to escort me for the modeling work. I threw a fit and refused to go because my mom (and no other family members) could go with me that time. I had always been told to never get into a car with strangers yet my family expected me to get in car with strangers. Even at 5 years old I knew it was wrong to let a child go off with strangers. Thankfully I didnt have to go fiilm that commercial and my mom apologized to me, now in my 30s, recently when I was talking to her about it. She said she should have known better as the parent that that would have been a bad idea.
Now that I am older, I really do appreciate how conservative my mother was with me. She never wanted me to ever sleepover any friends house which as a kid I resented but as an adult, I’m grateful. Never left me in the care of a babysitter. And never left me alone.
Same my mom wouldn’t even let a man in the house unless she was there and she was around . I only have memories of 2 men in the home one time to fix our bathroom and do our floors lol I use to think my mom is doing the absolute most .. I’m a child they not paying me no mind . Lorddddd was I wrong ! I thank god for her everyday ❤
I recently felt in love with Kathleen videos again, i stopped buying makeup for a long time, so i also stopped watching makeup videos, BUT i love when she rants and can't stop talking about certain topic. I miss Kat Chats so much!!!!! She is truly so sweet and funny, i could hear her talk for hours 🤍
Same! I stopped watching all makeup channels mainly because i couldnt trust most reviews and also it made me want to constantly want to buy makeup. Anyways i also recently started watching Kathleen again and i love listening to her.
All of this was stuff that I was talking about back in 2014-15-ish & I got torn into by SO MANY. I was called a conspiracy theorist, & a troll and troublemaker etc. Glad it’s finally being acknowledged.
Kathleen, I am a survivor of child s3xual abuse by my father and half brother and let me tell you…after years and years of abuse I don’t know how I would’ve survived without my mother. She didn’t know because my parents weren’t together but when I told her, she was nothing but supportive. I’m a mom now and the way I take care of my children was definitely impacted. I’m sooo careful.
Yes! This topic really hit home & at the same time showed how far I’ve come for the better. Made me a better mom, so sorry Sis , but we are stronger & very aware as moms.
As I've grown older, I've come to deeply value the conservative upbringing my mother provided. While as a child, I may have resented her strictness, particularly her refusal to let me have sleepovers or be left in the care of babysitters, as an adult, I am genuinely grateful. Her unwavering commitment to my safety and well-being has instilled in me a sense of security and responsibility that I now realize is invaluable. Thank you, Mom, for your love and protection
As a form Probation and Parole officer, I used to supervise strictly sex offenders. You wouldn’t believe how many women know their history and still want these men and will let them be alone with their kids. I was really tough on them. If you get the ick, trust your gut. If it was kids, the world would burn.
Kathleen! I’m a 1990 baby, and Nickelodeon was also my childhood. After watching that documentary I decided since they were such a big part of my childhood I needed to bear witness to their pain 😩 I’m with you though. It was rough. I wish all of them peace and healing 💕
Kathleen, I have been watching your channel since I was 14! I’m now 20. I have to say that I am so proud of you as an influencer that you even mentioned this in a video! So many people just sweep things under the rug and it is devastating! I think what is more sad is that people like you make a difference. When you speak up others feel like they can too! So many influencers and people with massive platforms would never consider such a thing when they are the exact people who could make a massive difference. You are so amazing and so beautiful and I’m so glad I’ve been able to watch you for so long!
Every time I see Amanda Bynes or watch anything with the Olsen twins it breaks my heart. It was very telling when mary Kate said she wouldn’t wish her upbringing on anyone. So sad.
It was worse in the 80s with the Coreys (Haim and Feldman). And when they said what had happened to them and nobody believed them, it hurt me. And then, Corey Haim died. I cried so much. How is it that what happened in Hollywood to them in the 80s was known, but nobody remembered when Nickelodeon was full blown in the 90s with kids? I have 3 kids, and I was a victim of SA, and I protected my 3 babies so much..... still do.
good for you for protecting your babies. i am a survivor too, and it actually means so much for me when i hear parents take true responsibility to protect their children. you did and are doing the right thing by looking out for them. i am sorry about your experiences tho, no one should go throught it.
The kicker is the people who hire these PDOs know what they are and STILL hire them to work with kids! It’s disgusting!!! Adults in the industry have kept quiet because of worrying about their careers. So I’m not surprised so many parents kept quiet. They would be going up against powerful people and probably wouldn’t have been believed. It’s a horrible system and no protections are in place for people. Cash changes hands and silence happens.
that’s the same thing I was thinking. In the film industry you can get blacklisted extremely easy and will never (or very unlikely) to get another job in that industry. I imagine a lot of parents were worried that their kid would be blacklisted if they reported it and then they would have an extremely hard time getting another job. Especially since a lot of these parents were relying on the money their kid would make. It’s absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking
I was born in '91....I LOVED nickelodeon. I feel you girl. I haven't been able to shake this feeling of guilt to have enjoyed these shows so much! I also think this is a good example for those family vlog families. Protect your kids. I am a new mom. I CANNOT imagine.
I just watched that last weekend with my daughter who is around your age and we were sickened by it too. If something like that had happened to my kids, I would have lost my mind! I would have gone after them hard. We need to stand up against this as a society instead of letting it become normalized. SICK.
Hearts breaking for those children 😢 I appreciate that you posted this video on your platform and speak up on this, I haven’t seen the documentary but right now I have become more aware and it’s so important ❤
I was sa/molested/groomed as a kid.. peds can not be rehabilitated or changed. Ppl who use their position can not be changed.. I do think that regardless of the horrible things that happened to me, I’m okay. I’ve healed and feel whole and healthy. I haven’t forgiven or forgotten but I’m not making any of that bs my burden to carry .. sending love
You are a beautiful soul. You are very intuitive and feel when others a wronged and that beautiful lady is such a gift. So much is happening with Hollywood and the music industry at the moment and the next few years will see many famous/rich/not not nice people being exposed for who they are and what they have done. Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I’m a survivor of SA & child abuse, I watched these shows & they made me feel so much better & to know they were going through similar things makes me so sad.
thank you, THANK YOU for talking about this and showing so openly that you care. it means a lot to me as a survivor. i am also so so proud of the people who came forward, but also deaply understand the time it took for them to do so. no one can rush you with those things. and yet at the same time the p words deserve nothing more than to be known for what they are. it's such a horrible situation.
That documentary is so upsetting. To think of those children suffering through all that abuse while having to play a role where they're smiling and happy. I can not wrap my mind around how the parents did not do more to protect them. I have 2 daughters, if a man ever sent my child pics like that I would go on a rampage! I would have to make sure he was locked up so that I didn't end up in prison myself. I feel like the parents just saw their kids as paychecks, they ignored all the signs because the money rollin in.
Girl the beginning of this video made me feel so much better. I watched quiet on set and sobbed uncontrollably for and am still torn up about and find myself crying 😭
You have the biggest heart! Most people don’t feel enough for these kids and I’m sure they are so thankful for you and your many emotions. This is the start of a huge wave of things that need to change for the kids of Hollywood
Thank you Kathleen for using your platform to spread the word about this documentary. I agree that it’s so important for everyone to be aware of the sickos that are out there and we need to rally around these victims to demand justice.
Watching that documentary as a new mom killed me. I immediately told my husband my daughter is never going to be on TV. It is so sad my heart breaks for those children and I would have loved to protect them. My Puerto Rican mom would have fucking neverrrrrrr let that happen to me
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT👏👏👏 I love seeing that there are still ppl from our generation who use whatever platform or voice they have to speak out about the injustice and the freak show that is happening all around us! We should start openly discussing these topics and get more ppl to realize what has been happening right before our eyes all those years and when/if we have kids raise them to not be afraid to speak out!
Yeah as an expecting mom I’m learning from all this stuff. Never let fear prevent you from speaking up. Go to bat for your kids. If you ever have to, you have to be a freaking stone wall between them and anyone who could hurt them. There is no “too involved” when it comes to protecting your kids from bad people.
I just did a training about breaking down misconceptions and understanding the facts of sexual abuse. A key aspect is knowing the signs of an abuser grooming a child AND the “gatekeepers” (parents, teachers, etc.). Abusers are most commonly someone the victim knows and trusts. It’s scary! I encourage people to learn more about this and learn about the warning signs to help protect the kids in your lives.
Love your compassion Kathleen, makes me want to sit down and have a coffee with you so we can talk and cry about all the crazy things in this world. As a GenX that hit my teenage years in the 90’s I can tell you that it was one hell of a fun era too, we were not all neglected latchkey kids. I had parents that would not have sent me off with a stranger. Very grateful for that now. This is heartbreaking. And complete bullshit that we can’t call pedophilia for what it is or even say the word on social media. Absolute nonsense.
Agreed💯 I love that you use your platform to discuss real life important issues. I'm sure there are some younger ones that watch your channel and it's good for them along with all generations to see and hear these topics. It has the potential to open conversations between parents and their children if they aren't already having them. Great job girl🔥🔥🔥You slayed this look too btw. I have this same burgundy mascara and green eyes😇
As another 90s kid who also grew up watching all of these shows in nickelodean, it was very tough to watch. It was as if you were finding out that friends from your childhood were struggling while making you laugh every week. I am glad people are coming out with their stories to bring awareness to something that has been so hushed up for so long. Enjoyed your perspective on the doc! PS-Love the look!
I wish I could watch it, but now is not the time. My daughter and I after almost 3 years of delays…. We finally had trial and it was too put away my daughters abuser. The MOMENT I figured it out I had her at the police station. I can’t imagine kids not having their parents to run to. This mother fucker is now severing 20 years with a max of 30 years for what he did. My daughter made me ball my eyes out when she said it wasn’t for my support she never would have been able to have this moment of justice. I told her she was my hero, she was the bravest of them all. Please keep an open communication with your kids always, and trust your gut, ask questions. Don’t be a friend be a parent.
I haven't watched Quiet on Set but I totally feel you because I watched the videos with Alyson Stoner talking about this industry. I was crying listening to her and that is probably mild compared to what is in Quiet on Set. I definitely feel that parents need to be there watching their own kids and protecting them! Don't trust other people to have their best interests at heart as you would as their parent!
You were 100% on point about everything you said about the documentary. I couldn't understand the mom who didn't go to the cops. and i loved how Drake's dad did his best to prevent what happened. It makes glad to see that not all 90's parents were just scumbags to not protect their kids on tv. I had to even tell my husband that Amanda Bynes is a great story of how early fame just destroyed her later in life.
As a survivor of similar abuse, I can't watch the doc. Those shows were my escapism as a kid, knowing the gruesome details of their parallel experiences is too much
I grew up when it was just out. “Dare” and “Double Dare” were my fav shows. I did see all the 90’s shows as well. It kills me that the parents were so afraid of what was going to be said about them and their kids. How nobody spoke up. I think because we grew up in those times we are more hyper-vigilant about our surroundings and our kids. I have trust issues and many more issues 😢. It’s mind blowing how many actors defended and BLAMED Drake for what happened to him. I looked up to some of them. It was a hard let down. I’m still crying about all the hurt the kids went through.
I was born in 94 so the Amanda Show consumed my entire life at one point. I loved the Nickelodeon shows and Drake and Josh was one of my favorites to watch with my brother. Hearing all of this breaks my heart, too. I get so overwhelmed with emotion even typing this, but these kids deserved better. It's like the older I get, the darker the world gets sometimes. I used to go back and watch childhood shows sometimes because that was a time where I was so happy, and it was just a heartwarming nostalgic feeling to revisit with the world going crazy. Now that this came out, I feel like that's all gone. I can't see anything the same now, and this is all so devastating for these poor kids. Justice is long overdue. While I'd never pray on someones downfall, Dan and everyone else involved in this deserve all that they have coming.
Ok I just started watching this vid & I just want to give you a big hug!!….i completely get why it broke you so hard! It did me too!! I watched the full doc ON MONDAY….& I STILL can’t wrap my brain around all the crap I found out!!! I heard that they are going to be adding a 5th episode soon….i TRULY HOPE that it’s Amanda telling her story *esp bc I found out some stuff I NEVER KNEW about Amanda’s past* I love you SO much Kat!
I love u Kat 😢 I was a child 4-5 when I was assaulted 😢 I had begged my mom ( if I fell asleep at this family party? To please, please 🙏 do NOT leave me there . I tried so hard to not fall asleep, but I did! & I woke up in the early morning around 4:30-5:00 am to being assaulted. It took me years to forgive her for leaving because she said she had 4 of us & we all fell asleep , so she only took the younger once & my dad was too drunk to carry me to the car!!!! 🙄😭 the only good thing that came out of this is it made me a better mommy to my 2 little boys who never left my side when we left the house.
I grew up in the generation you speak of, where people didn’t talk about abuse, name it, and there was accountability, consequences and change. I was one of the kids who adults didn’t protect when they knew I was in the presence of a predator. I’m still working of forgiving those adults, who are my aunts and uncles. My grandfather abused all of his granddaughters and one grandson, that I know of. He also abused his wife and children, and even assaulted his son’s wife. This man is a horrible human and deserved to be in jail. My aunts and uncles knew this was happening, and just told him to stop, as if that works. They didn’t take any action of protect us. I have 50 cousins in that family, so we are talking a lot of people impacted by his dark black evil heart. I’m 55 now, and I do have understanding that my grandfather lived through two wars, in Europe, was in Siberia etc. He lived trauma I’ll never comprehend. So I understand why he was a broken human. So who do I be mad at? Him? War? This is the consequence of evil in the world. This is how family trauma happens. If my grandfather hadn’t lived through war would he have been abusive? Then go back another step, who are the people who are responsible for war? Then go back another step, who hurt the people who chose war? This is how trauma works. So how am I healing? I’m responsible for me, my actions, and how I treat people around me. I wasn’t able to have children, so I haven’t contributed to the trauma of another child because of my own. The only way these cycles will change is if the damaged adults take responsibility for their own trauma, and learn who they are as a result, and change any behavior that isn’t healthy. I feel for all those kids, and I’m grateful that parents now are more reactive and protective of their children than parents were back then. The way this has manifested in my life, isn’t that I act out in any unhealthy way, it’s that I abandon myself. I learned I couldn’t ask questions, didn’t have voice, didn’t have autonomy, that I had to allow people in my life I didn’t feel safe with, I abandon my boundaries with people pleasing. My trauma shows up by hurting myself. I’m very happy to report, I’ve done so much work in just understanding myself, my perceptions and ideas, learning why I do, say or think things, challenging my own self hatred with my own truth. One of the biggest things I still need to work on is being ok with someone being angry. If someone is mistreating me, I say it out loud, and they are angry, that’s ok. Let them be angry. If there is no healthy discussion about mutual respect and boundaries, then they aren’t safe for me. I don’t believe in writing off people with trauma as hopeless, but I will challenge things to see if they are healing or working on it, or have awareness of their behavior. And if they fail the challenge, that’s ok, I will just try to exit quietly. Great discussion Kathleen!
Millions of people go to war, have trauma or live their lives in hell and they are not abusers. There's no evil in the world, evil is inside every one of us, it is up to us how do we behave. So if someone does something like your grandfather did, that person is the only one responsible.
Hey Kathleen I am so proud of you for coming out with this (even though we dont know eachother) It takes giant kahounez to get on here and tell the Truth on what is going on in our World! Alot of people Still Have NO IDEA that this is happening to children, teenagers and even adults Everywhere. They are Sicko's.!! Crying is good you need to get it out. Stay STRONG cause we need Strong people like you to help people understand it's No joke.. ✌️💚🙏🌏🇺🇸🕊🕊🕊 Be safe and I pray for God to wrap his White, Loving, Benevolent Light all around you and Yours. Go momma Bear ! 💕🦁
Totally relate to the subject matter.😢 I couldn’t finish watching but I will finish it. I too feel so bad for those young stars, hopefully one day this world will be ready to fully acknowledge that their voice can change the world TOGETHER! ❤
Havent watched this series but read Jeannette McCurdy’s book last year and I was so overwhelmed. Also ai’m a mental health professional so I see everyday how all kind of abuse destroy people’s life and mind … 🤢
Also born in ‘92 and this was sooooo hard to watch. Haven’t finished it yet because wtfffff. We grew up watching them and had no idea what they were going through 🥺💔
As someone that was sexually abused starting at the age of 5 that doc was hard for me to watch. I’ve known how evil Hollywood is for a long time now and unfortunately this doc is just the tip of the iceberg. What got me so upset was the parents, now me being a parent myself I literally don’t trust anyone with my kids. Like you said there are freaking weirdos everywhere! Drakes mom got me so mad. His dad warned her and she didn’t listen! How could she just let him go off with Brian peck?! It makes me so sick. They were not protected at all and it triggers me back to what I experienced a bit. I hope more of what the actors experienced gets exposed.
I keep thinking to when I was a kid watching and loving these shows, laughing and everything. Now, with news of these horrific things happening behind the scenes makes me feel like everything I saw was a complete sham.
I have an infant, and as a mom I cried with Papa Bell. To know what was going to happen and no one protected his son, I can see all the pain in his eyes. I cannot imagine how parents thought it was okay back then to trust their kids with these strangers, but unfortunately money will always be more important 😔 every single child deserves to be protected and have a non-traumatic childhood.
Quiet on set completely destroyed me. I grew up around the same time as you and adored the Amanda Show (& of course Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, etc) and after this documentary I will not watch another Nickelodeon show/episode again. My heart breaks for every child who went through this and were failed by their parents and the system they worked for.
I like this kind of video. This doc is not available in my country yet, but I’ve been following the situation, so it was interesting to hear from someone who has watched it.
Krime with Kathleen. Let’s go!!! I love you soooo much and I really feel u can bring so much attention to certain things. U bring so much affection and empathy and just ur personality. I love it. You’ve been my favorite since 2016. ❤you soooo much. You have a sacred heart ♥️ have a great night.
Quiet on Set was a hard but super important watch. Those Nickolodean shows raised me too and I was a ride or die for Amanda. What happened to her, we may never know fully, but it just breaks my heart. Everything with Drake Bell is beyond disappointing and I wish him so much healing. I would love if more of what Dan did was exposed cause he needs to be held ACTUALLY accountable.
Nickelodeon was my absolute childhood, along with Dísney so it's heartbreaking and scary finding out what they went through, while they we're just kíds like us, making us happy and laughing. 💔💔💔

Yes!! So true
Yes!! If someone makes you uncomfortable, if there’s a ‘red flag’ warning, whatever …. pay attention and trust that. We have all kinds of ways of telling someone isn’t safe that we don’t consciously recognize. We get all kinds of clues from body language, the way people use their eyes, subtle changes in tone of voice, the way someone says something, the words they choose, etc.. We notice all of these things subconsciously and they let us know whether someone is safe or not. Trust that if you feel uncomfortable or creeped out, you’re absolutely right to feel that way and walk away, make yourself safe, tell someone, anything you need to do to protect yourself! We have these intuitions or feelings because they are survival skills and have kept people alive for thousands of years. Also, be aware that ANYone can be creepy - authority figures, mentors, teachers, doctors, pastors, therapists, etc.. Sadly, there are a lot of icky people out there. Be safe y’all!
@@karmakauffman7445 well said!
Unfortunately a lot of predators are really good at hiding their creep factor.
As a mom, I do judge the parents. We know when something's off, we really do. No excuses at all. Most of those parents knew and either did nothing cause their kids were bringing $$$ to the table, or they were just irresponsible and neglectful.
As a mother of a 5 year old.
I’m there with you. when men tell me how beautiful my daughter is or repeat it. I’m like ok what the fuck!!You told me once already. So that intuition feeling is spot on. There are pedos everywhere. We need to start a campaign called “SAVE OUR CHILDREN!”.
Yeah I agree. I feel bad for Drake Bell’s father. He did everything he was supposed to do to protect his son only to be overridden by the mom. He told her not to leave their son alone with that man and she did because she didn’t want to drive him places. wtf?! Also, Amanda Bynes’ parents are disgusting to me. She spent hours a day locked in an office with an adult man. No wonder she’s so messed up.
I totally agree. I do judge the parents for putting their children in this situation for financial gain. We see it happening more and more on TikTok as well with these TikTok influencer moms, who are basically pawning their children off to pedos online.
Yess! I just commented the same thing practically! I will most definitely judge someone who doesn't put their kids needs and safety above all! In this day of social media it's so sad and infuriating to see these parents putting their kids out there in skimpy clothes shaking their butts and doing suggestive things in order to make $ and gain some followers.

1000%

❤🩹
When I was 5 I did some modeling for tv commercials. The only one I actually remember was a chicken nugget commercial and hated doing it, but at least my mom was with me. Well, one day a car came by the house to pick me up to do another commercial. It was a scheduled pickup with one of the assistants who was supposed to escort me for the modeling work. I threw a fit and refused to go because my mom (and no other family members) could go with me that time. I had always been told to never get into a car with strangers yet my family expected me to get in car with strangers. Even at 5 years old I knew it was wrong to let a child go off with strangers. Thankfully I didnt have to go fiilm that commercial and my mom apologized to me, now in my 30s, recently when I was talking to her about it. She said she should have known better as the parent that that would have been a bad idea.
@@liquideyesart Standing up for yourself at 5 is insanely commendable. Thank goodness you did! Never stop.
Exact same thing happened to me! I was so upset, but wow am I forever grateful 💙
That mom that didnt call the cops because she didnt other people to judge her ENRAGED me. What the hell.
This!!! I am still so pissed about this. She should be ashamed of herself
Yes!!! She waited until they contacted her. wtf? Some of the parents 100% deserve to be judged.
Same feeling!! 😠😭 Mom failed her daughter
Right! If I had told my mom that, she would’ve done so much
definitely a narcissist & ik that word is thrown around a lot but that mom is a bad mom not sorry
I’m absolutely here for the chaotic crying energy while filming- I am pro-vulnerability in videos ❤
This comment is beyond cringe.
Kathleen trying to talk normally through tears is such a relatable vibe 🥹😅
These stories are so sad. In so many cases it completely ruins a persons life forever. This is so heartbreaking 💔
Now that I am older, I really do appreciate how conservative my mother was with me. She never wanted me to ever sleepover any friends house which as a kid I resented but as an adult, I’m grateful. Never left me in the care of a babysitter. And never left me alone.
Same my mom wouldn’t even let a man in the house unless she was there and she was around . I only have memories of 2 men in the home one time to fix our bathroom and do our floors lol I use to think my mom is doing the absolute most .. I’m a child they not paying me no mind . Lorddddd was I wrong ! I thank god for her everyday ❤
How these people are not locked away for life is crazy to me. These types of people will never change!

Girl this hair color feels so nostalgic and full circle for me❤ it’s like I’m 16 again watching your videos w my friends. I’m 26 now.
Yes, and she hasn’t aged a year since 🥲
Omggggg
I recently felt in love with Kathleen videos again, i stopped buying makeup for a long time, so i also stopped watching makeup videos, BUT i love when she rants and can't stop talking about certain topic. I miss Kat Chats so much!!!!! She is truly so sweet and funny, i could hear her talk for hours 🤍
Same! I stopped watching all makeup channels mainly because i couldnt trust most reviews and also it made me want to constantly want to buy makeup. Anyways i also recently started watching Kathleen again and i love listening to her.
LMAO Kathleen starting the video just crying is so relatable 😭😭
It’s giving Cassie in the bathroom trying to keep it together
All of this was stuff that I was talking about back in 2014-15-ish & I got torn into by SO MANY. I was called a conspiracy theorist, & a troll and troublemaker etc. Glad it’s finally being acknowledged.
When you watch disturbing documentaries you just need to talk about it so thank you for being honest and vulnerable
OMG! I'm lovin' that you are posting so much more. I love your videos! I rewarch them constantly!
Kathleen, I am a survivor of child s3xual abuse by my father and half brother and let me tell you…after years and years of abuse I don’t know how I would’ve survived without my mother. She didn’t know because my parents weren’t together but when I told her, she was nothing but supportive. I’m a mom now and the way I take care of my children was definitely impacted. I’m sooo careful.
Yes! This topic really hit home & at the same time showed how far I’ve come for the better. Made me a better mom, so sorry Sis , but we are stronger & very aware as moms.
Omg 😳 am so sorry
I'm so sorry you suffered like that. I'm so glad to hear your mom is supportive!
So sorry! And I bet you are an incredible mom!
I am so sorry of what happened to you. You are a strong, brave person. I hope you received the help you needed and are healing. ❤
As I've grown older, I've come to deeply value the conservative upbringing my mother provided. While as a child, I may have resented her strictness, particularly her refusal to let me have sleepovers or be left in the care of babysitters, as an adult, I am genuinely grateful. Her unwavering commitment to my safety and well-being has instilled in me a sense of security and responsibility that I now realize is invaluable. Thank you, Mom, for your love and protection
As a form Probation and Parole officer, I used to supervise strictly sex offenders. You wouldn’t believe how many women know their history and still want these men and will let them be alone with their kids. I was really tough on them. If you get the ick, trust your gut. If it was kids, the world would burn.
Kathleen! I’m a 1990 baby, and Nickelodeon was also my childhood. After watching that documentary I decided since they were such a big part of my childhood I needed to bear witness to their pain 😩 I’m with you though. It was rough. I wish all of them peace and healing 💕
Kathleen, I have been watching your channel since I was 14! I’m now 20. I have to say that I am so proud of you as an influencer that you even mentioned this in a video! So many people just sweep things under the rug and it is devastating! I think what is more sad is that people like you make a difference. When you speak up others feel like they can too! So many influencers and people with massive platforms would never consider such a thing when they are the exact people who could make a massive difference. You are so amazing and so beautiful and I’m so glad I’ve been able to watch you for so long!
The music industry is the same way!! Side note: unfiltered Kathleen - I’m here for it! 🔥
Every time I see Amanda Bynes or watch anything with the Olsen twins it breaks my heart. It was very telling when mary Kate said she wouldn’t wish her upbringing on anyone. So sad.
Thank you for using your platform to bring light to what has happened and what is still happening!!!
It was worse in the 80s with the Coreys (Haim and Feldman). And when they said what had happened to them and nobody believed them, it hurt me. And then, Corey Haim died. I cried so much. How is it that what happened in Hollywood to them in the 80s was known, but nobody remembered when Nickelodeon was full blown in the 90s with kids?
I have 3 kids, and I was a victim of SA, and I protected my 3 babies so much..... still do.
good for you for protecting your babies. i am a survivor too, and it actually means so much for me when i hear parents take true responsibility to protect their children. you did and are doing the right thing by looking out for them. i am sorry about your experiences tho, no one should go throught it.
❤🩹
Imagining how my dad would have handled something like that makes me so freaking grateful for how protective he was ❤️
The kicker is the people who hire these PDOs know what they are and STILL hire them to work with kids! It’s disgusting!!! Adults in the industry have kept quiet because of worrying about their careers. So I’m not surprised so many parents kept quiet. They would be going up against powerful people and probably wouldn’t have been believed. It’s a horrible system and no protections are in place for people. Cash changes hands and silence happens.
that’s the same thing I was thinking. In the film industry you can get blacklisted extremely easy and will never (or very unlikely) to get another job in that industry. I imagine a lot of parents were worried that their kid would be blacklisted if they reported it and then they would have an extremely hard time getting another job. Especially since a lot of these parents were relying on the money their kid would make. It’s absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking
I was born in '91....I LOVED nickelodeon. I feel you girl. I haven't been able to shake this feeling of guilt to have enjoyed these shows so much! I also think this is a good example for those family vlog families. Protect your kids. I am a new mom. I CANNOT imagine.
I just watched that last weekend with my daughter who is around your age and we were sickened by it too. If something like that had happened to my kids, I would have lost my mind! I would have gone after them hard. We need to stand up against this as a society instead of letting it become normalized. SICK.
Thank youuuu for using your platform to inform people about this. Alot of people are clueless and this helps. Thank you!!
Hearts breaking for those children 😢 I appreciate that you posted this video on your platform and speak up on this, I haven’t seen the documentary but right now I have become more aware and it’s so important ❤
Your empathy is your greatest attribute ❤️
I was sa/molested/groomed as a kid.. peds can not be rehabilitated or changed. Ppl who use their position can not be changed.. I do think that regardless of the horrible things that happened to me, I’m okay. I’ve healed and feel whole and healthy. I haven’t forgiven or forgotten but I’m not making any of that bs my burden to carry .. sending love
Your heart is so pure. Thank you for showing the vulnerability surrounding such a hard topic!!! ❤❤
You are a beautiful soul.
You are very intuitive and feel when others a wronged and that beautiful lady is such a gift.
So much is happening with Hollywood and the music industry at the moment and the next few years will see many famous/rich/not not nice people being exposed for who they are and what they have done.
Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I’m a survivor of SA & child abuse, I watched these shows & they made me feel so much better & to know they were going through similar things makes me so sad.
thank you, THANK YOU for talking about this and showing so openly that you care. it means a lot to me as a survivor.
i am also so so proud of the people who came forward, but also deaply understand the time it took for them to do so. no one can rush you with those things. and yet at the same time the p words deserve nothing more than to be known for what they are. it's such a horrible situation.
I need bookbang videos! Booktalks and food and Kathleen.. my fav trio ❤️
liiiike pleaseeeee
Loved this video. Thank you for talking about such a tough subject and taking a stance. We need to protect children at ALL COSTS🙏🏼
That documentary is so upsetting. To think of those children suffering through all that abuse while having to play a role where they're smiling and happy. I can not wrap my mind around how the parents did not do more to protect them. I have 2 daughters, if a man ever sent my child pics like that I would go on a rampage! I would have to make sure he was locked up so that I didn't end up in prison myself. I feel like the parents just saw their kids as paychecks, they ignored all the signs because the money rollin in.

I love how you are so open and vocal with your opinion on such a big platform it’s so needed! I would love you to touch on the ruby frank topic
Girl the beginning of this video made me feel so much better. I watched quiet on set and sobbed uncontrollably for and am still torn up about and find myself crying 😭
having a kathleenlights marathon and this video just proves that i made a good decision in staying with you for years. thank you for being you!
You have the biggest heart! Most people don’t feel enough for these kids and I’m sure they are so thankful for you and your many emotions. This is the start of a huge wave of things that need to change for the kids of Hollywood
Thank you Kathleen for using your platform to spread the word about this documentary. I agree that it’s so important for everyone to be aware of the sickos that are out there and we need to rally around these victims to demand justice.
Watching that documentary as a new mom killed me. I immediately told my husband my daughter is never going to be on TV. It is so sad my heart breaks for those children and I would have loved to protect them. My Puerto Rican mom would have fucking neverrrrrrr let that happen to me
What's the name of the documentary? I think i missed that
@@GioVanKlooster Quiet on Set
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT👏👏👏 I love seeing that there are still ppl from our generation who use whatever platform or voice they have to speak out about the injustice and the freak show that is happening all around us! We should start openly discussing these topics and get more ppl to realize what has been happening right before our eyes all those years and when/if we have kids raise them to not be afraid to speak out!
Yeah as an expecting mom I’m learning from all this stuff. Never let fear prevent you from speaking up. Go to bat for your kids. If you ever have to, you have to be a freaking stone wall between them and anyone who could hurt them. There is no “too involved” when it comes to protecting your kids from bad people.
I just did a training about breaking down misconceptions and understanding the facts of sexual abuse. A key aspect is knowing the signs of an abuser grooming a child AND the “gatekeepers” (parents, teachers, etc.). Abusers are most commonly someone the victim knows and trusts. It’s scary! I encourage people to learn more about this and learn about the warning signs to help protect the kids in your lives.
Correct! Also the victim will change dramatically! Outward and inward!
Love your compassion Kathleen, makes me want to sit down and have a coffee with you so we can talk and cry about all the crazy things in this world. As a GenX that hit my teenage years in the 90’s I can tell you that it was one hell of a fun era too, we were not all neglected latchkey kids. I had parents that would not have sent me off with a stranger. Very grateful for that now. This is heartbreaking. And complete bullshit that we can’t call pedophilia for what it is or even say the word on social media. Absolute nonsense.
Yes, children need to be protected. ALL of them 🇵🇸
Kathleen.... I'm an 18 yr old I'm so glad that I'm able to do character development with you throughout these years....❤
Lot's of love to you..❤
You are such a sensitive sweet heart!!! I am so happy that i found you years before!
Agreed💯 I love that you use your platform to discuss real life important issues. I'm sure there are some younger ones that watch your channel and it's good for them along with all generations to see and hear these topics. It has the potential to open conversations between parents and their children if they aren't already having them. Great job girl🔥🔥🔥You slayed this look too btw. I have this same burgundy mascara and green eyes😇
As another 90s kid who also grew up watching all of these shows in nickelodean, it was very tough to watch. It was as if you were finding out that friends from your childhood were struggling while making you laugh every week. I am glad people are coming out with their stories to bring awareness to something that has been so hushed up for so long. Enjoyed your perspective on the doc!
PS-Love the look!
Who likes her videos before the video even starts?? 🙆🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ ❤
🙋
🙋🏻♀️❤
Me
I do!!! ❤
i JUST did haha. some yt people just deserve it
There should be a Disney whistle-blower doc tooo
Zack and Cody, Hannah Montana , Wizards, Sonny with a chance etc. So many that we loved!
I love your heart! Thank you for existing in this world ❤
your emotions about the subject just show the goodness of your heart
I love these vulnerable chit chatty vids! The whole thing is so sick.
The mascara makes your green eyes POP omg!!!
It’s OK to cry, Kathleen. It’s a very emotional, heavy, de-humanizing experience. Sending you love ❤
I wish I could watch it, but now is not the time. My daughter and I after almost 3 years of delays…. We finally had trial and it was too put away my daughters abuser. The MOMENT I figured it out I had her at the police station. I can’t imagine kids not having their parents to run to. This mother fucker is now severing 20 years with a max of 30 years for what he did. My daughter made me ball my eyes out when she said it wasn’t for my support she never would have been able to have this moment of justice. I told her she was my hero, she was the bravest of them all. Please keep an open communication with your kids always, and trust your gut, ask questions. Don’t be a friend be a parent.
I sorry this happened, but I’m glad she has you
Way to go! Now y’all can focus on healing! ❤
Your internet family is sending you virtual hugs, Kat ❤ thank you for being vulnerable and talking about important topics
Thank you so much!
I'm so proud that people are finally speaking out about this. ❤
Thinking about how much joy these kids/shows brought while they had these traumatic experiences is so heartbreaking ❤️🩹
I haven't watched Quiet on Set but I totally feel you because I watched the videos with Alyson Stoner talking about this industry. I was crying listening to her and that is probably mild compared to what is in Quiet on Set. I definitely feel that parents need to be there watching their own kids and protecting them! Don't trust other people to have their best interests at heart as you would as their parent!
You were 100% on point about everything you said about the documentary. I couldn't understand the mom who didn't go to the cops. and i loved how Drake's dad did his best to prevent what happened. It makes glad to see that not all 90's parents were just scumbags to not protect their kids on tv. I had to even tell my husband that Amanda Bynes is a great story of how early fame just destroyed her later in life.
As a survivor of similar abuse, I can't watch the doc. Those shows were my escapism as a kid, knowing the gruesome details of their parallel experiences is too much
I had some moments but these shows were my childhood. I’m ao sorry you went through that
I grew up when it was just out. “Dare” and “Double Dare” were my fav shows. I did see all the 90’s shows as well. It kills me that the parents were so afraid of what was going to be said about them and their kids. How nobody spoke up. I think because we grew up in those times we are more hyper-vigilant about our surroundings and our kids. I have trust issues and many more issues 😢. It’s mind blowing how many actors defended and BLAMED Drake for what happened to him. I looked up to some of them. It was a hard let down. I’m still crying about all the hurt the kids went through.
I was born in 94 so the Amanda Show consumed my entire life at one point. I loved the Nickelodeon shows and Drake and Josh was one of my favorites to watch with my brother. Hearing all of this breaks my heart, too. I get so overwhelmed with emotion even typing this, but these kids deserved better. It's like the older I get, the darker the world gets sometimes. I used to go back and watch childhood shows sometimes because that was a time where I was so happy, and it was just a heartwarming nostalgic feeling to revisit with the world going crazy. Now that this came out, I feel like that's all gone. I can't see anything the same now, and this is all so devastating for these poor kids. Justice is long overdue. While I'd never pray on someones downfall, Dan and everyone else involved in this deserve all that they have coming.
Ok I just started watching this vid & I just want to give you a big hug!!….i completely get why it broke you so hard! It did me too!! I watched the full doc ON MONDAY….& I STILL can’t wrap my brain around all the crap I found out!!! I heard that they are going to be adding a 5th episode soon….i TRULY HOPE that it’s Amanda telling her story *esp bc I found out some stuff I NEVER KNEW about Amanda’s past* I love you SO much Kat!
I have the burgundy Maybelline Snapscara and I LOVE it! I love the color and I love that it's a tubing mascara. It is overall perfection in my book.
I read Jennette’s book and that one was a real eye opener. I’m glad a lot of stars are speaking about it now…
I love u Kat 😢 I was a child 4-5 when I was assaulted 😢 I had begged my mom ( if I fell asleep at this family party? To please, please 🙏 do NOT leave me there . I tried so hard to not fall asleep, but I did! & I woke up in the early morning around 4:30-5:00 am to being assaulted. It took me years to forgive her for leaving because she said she had 4 of us & we all fell asleep , so she only took the younger once & my dad was too drunk to carry me to the car!!!! 🙄😭 the only good thing that came out of this is it made me a better mommy to my 2 little boys who never left my side when we left the house.
I grew up in the generation you speak of, where people didn’t talk about abuse, name it, and there was accountability, consequences and change. I was one of the kids who adults didn’t protect when they knew I was in the presence of a predator. I’m still working of forgiving those adults, who are my aunts and uncles. My grandfather abused all of his granddaughters and one grandson, that I know of. He also abused his wife and children, and even assaulted his son’s wife. This man is a horrible human and deserved to be in jail. My aunts and uncles knew this was happening, and just told him to stop, as if that works. They didn’t take any action of protect us. I have 50 cousins in that family, so we are talking a lot of people impacted by his dark black evil heart. I’m 55 now, and I do have understanding that my grandfather lived through two wars, in Europe, was in Siberia etc. He lived trauma I’ll never comprehend. So I understand why he was a broken human. So who do I be mad at? Him? War? This is the consequence of evil in the world. This is how family trauma happens. If my grandfather hadn’t lived through war would he have been abusive? Then go back another step, who are the people who are responsible for war? Then go back another step, who hurt the people who chose war? This is how trauma works. So how am I healing? I’m responsible for me, my actions, and how I treat people around me. I wasn’t able to have children, so I haven’t contributed to the trauma of another child because of my own. The only way these cycles will change is if the damaged adults take responsibility for their own trauma, and learn who they are as a result, and change any behavior that isn’t healthy. I feel for all those kids, and I’m grateful that parents now are more reactive and protective of their children than parents were back then. The way this has manifested in my life, isn’t that I act out in any unhealthy way, it’s that I abandon myself. I learned I couldn’t ask questions, didn’t have voice, didn’t have autonomy, that I had to allow people in my life I didn’t feel safe with, I abandon my boundaries with people pleasing. My trauma shows up by hurting myself. I’m very happy to report, I’ve done so much work in just understanding myself, my perceptions and ideas, learning why I do, say or think things, challenging my own self hatred with my own truth. One of the biggest things I still need to work on is being ok with someone being angry. If someone is mistreating me, I say it out loud, and they are angry, that’s ok. Let them be angry. If there is no healthy discussion about mutual respect and boundaries, then they aren’t safe for me. I don’t believe in writing off people with trauma as hopeless, but I will challenge things to see if they are healing or working on it, or have awareness of their behavior. And if they fail the challenge, that’s ok, I will just try to exit quietly. Great discussion Kathleen!
Millions of people go to war, have trauma or live their lives in hell and they are not abusers. There's no evil in the world, evil is inside every one of us, it is up to us how do we behave. So if someone does something like your grandfather did, that person is the only one responsible.
Hey Kathleen I am so proud of you for coming out with this (even though we dont know eachother) It takes giant kahounez to get on here and tell the Truth on what is going on in our World! Alot of people Still Have NO IDEA that this is happening to children, teenagers and even adults Everywhere. They are Sicko's.!! Crying is good you need to get it out. Stay STRONG cause we need Strong people like you to help people understand it's No joke..
✌️💚🙏🌏🇺🇸🕊🕊🕊
Be safe and I pray for God to wrap his White, Loving, Benevolent Light all around you and Yours. Go momma Bear ! 💕🦁
Totally relate to the subject matter.😢 I couldn’t finish watching but I will finish it. I too feel so bad for those young stars, hopefully one day this world will be ready to fully acknowledge that their voice can change the world TOGETHER! ❤
Havent watched this series but read Jeannette McCurdy’s book last year and I was so overwhelmed. Also ai’m a mental health professional so I see everyday how all kind of abuse destroy people’s life and mind … 🤢
Also born in ‘92 and this was sooooo hard to watch. Haven’t finished it yet because wtfffff. We grew up watching them and had no idea what they were going through 🥺💔
As someone that was sexually abused starting at the age of 5 that doc was hard for me to watch. I’ve known how evil Hollywood is for a long time now and unfortunately this doc is just the tip of the iceberg. What got me so upset was the parents, now me being a parent myself I literally don’t trust anyone with my kids. Like you said there are freaking weirdos everywhere! Drakes mom got me so mad. His dad warned her and she didn’t listen! How could she just let him go off with Brian peck?! It makes me so sick. They were not protected at all and it triggers me back to what I experienced a bit. I hope more of what the actors experienced gets exposed.
92 baby here!! I have home videos recreating the amanda show and Andy milinocous. So I feel the same way. Heartbreaking!!
I keep thinking to when I was a kid watching and loving these shows, laughing and everything. Now, with news of these horrific things happening behind the scenes makes me feel like everything I saw was a complete sham.
I have an infant, and as a mom I cried with Papa Bell. To know what was going to happen and no one protected his son, I can see all the pain in his eyes. I cannot imagine how parents thought it was okay back then to trust their kids with these strangers, but unfortunately money will always be more important 😔 every single child deserves to be protected and have a non-traumatic childhood.
Kathleen your heart is so pure ilysm 🥹💕
I have liked you since I found your channel but I have never had so much respect for you than I did today. You are such a beautiful soul.
Quiet on set completely destroyed me. I grew up around the same time as you and adored the Amanda Show (& of course Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, etc) and after this documentary I will not watch another Nickelodeon show/episode again. My heart breaks for every child who went through this and were failed by their parents and the system they worked for.
We live in a sick world. It’s heartbreaking that the sickos aren’t locked up. They will never stop being predators 😢
I like this kind of video. This doc is not available in my country yet, but I’ve been following the situation, so it was interesting to hear from someone who has watched it.
Krime with Kathleen. Let’s go!!! I love you soooo much and I really feel u can bring so much attention to certain things. U bring so much affection and empathy and just ur personality. I love it. You’ve been my favorite since 2016. ❤you soooo much. You have a sacred heart ♥️ have a great night.
Omg I sobbed watching the last two episodes! Especially when Drakes Dad was like, “ I’m glad they got him before he could get to you” 😭😭😭
Thank you for speaking about this❤ this world can be a scary place. To many sick people.
You are a genuine human, Kathleen 😘😘😘
I just started the first episode and I am sick already.
On a different note this makeup/hair is giving shakira vibes ❤
Quiet on Set was a hard but super important watch. Those Nickolodean shows raised me too and I was a ride or die for Amanda. What happened to her, we may never know fully, but it just breaks my heart. Everything with Drake Bell is beyond disappointing and I wish him so much healing. I would love if more of what Dan did was exposed cause he needs to be held ACTUALLY accountable.
Girl omG thank you so much for displaying this reaction to Quiet on Set, now I feel so validated and not so weird for bawling while watching this show
Nickelodeon was my absolute childhood, along with Dísney so it's heartbreaking and scary finding out what they went through, while they we're just kíds like us, making us happy and laughing. 💔💔💔
You’re so sweet! Ty for being you.
Thank you for covering this topic 🫶🏼
Thank you for this video !!
Please ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INTUITION ALWAYS !!!!!!!!
