    I believe Christina. I believe her because I had very sick parents who also had public ‘masks’, manipulated people into believing they were good parents, and who, behind closed doors, did things to their children that could have landed them in prison. I tell my sibling, who is protective of our parents’ ‘reputation’, ‘they are in HELL now.’ And I mean it.

    I believe Christina 100%. It irks me when ppl try to say her childhood wasn't what she said it was... like everyone knew she was a vain, cruel b*tch. She adopted Christina from an agency that literally kidnapped babies from usually underage mothers. The mom would be told their baby died when in all actuality they were sold on the black market. Ppl try to say Joan didnt know but she definitely did, everyone in Hollywood did. The adoption agency was known as a Celebrity Kid Mill like a damn puppy mill... ugh... joan was just vile... can u imagine being abused your entire childhood and then having society mock you and say you're lying?!? Even tho there were witnesses everywhere?!? It just boggles the mind.

Some of the scenes in Mommy Dearest are so over the top, but a few (such as the coat hanger scene) are difficult to watch. I feel bad for the child actress, she was likely affected by the intensity of the abuse, despite knowing it was fictional.

She was under fire by family members when the movie came out Joan Crawford's grandson has come out on the internet saying thst wasn't true and that Joan Crawford was not what Christina wrote in her book. Christine Crawford traveled the talk shows in the 80s and.90s and her own family called her
      Out.on those accusations. She had to admit that some of the things she wrote including the wire hanger scene were not true.

    Wow! What a nightmare for poor Christina. It’s 100% true that an abusive parent is less likely to be hard on the children who are easier to control. It seems like Joan was very controlling. It makes sense why the twins defended their mom. Thank you for this interesting video. Great research. 😊🦋

      Oh definitely. They go for the one that has a mind of their own and shows it. And often the one that reminds them of themselves or someone else that they don't like.

    I have always felt safe assuming that “Mommie dearest” is about 10% true, 40% exaggeration, and 50% fabrication.
    And that’s just the book. The film is pure fantasy.

    • @dkc4092
      @dkc4092 Год назад +2

      Don't doubt the book. I grew up with a father who did very similar things to us kids when we were growing up. That era, parents could pretty much get away with a lot of physical abuse and there wasn't much anyone could do about it.
