| Very sad. He and I are the same age. I am not excusing the addiction or other issues that were so clearly present, but the late 90s/early 2000s were a rough time to be a celebrity. Look at Britney, etc. The entertainment industry was not kind and it was all about breaking those people down. |
Does that baby have a chance...or will the cycle continue
|
Nick has talked a lot about his drug and alcohol abuse. All the kids started doing drugs at a very young age in that family. |
His Lancaster house is on the market for $800K. |
Because the industry and their handlers fed them to the performers. |
And by “breaking down” you mean rampant sexual assault, rape, and pedo execs, agents and handlers preying on children right? Because that’s what the “industry” is. |
The house looked like a $1M+ home and had a new 2022 $100K Caddy Escalade in the driveway. |

The “house sitter” sounds and acts like a drug supplier?

Holy Sh! Really???? |
I’m from Lancaster. There are certainly sketchy parts of the city but there are also very nice parts of the city. Not unlike many places. Part of the allure is Lancaster/Palmdale was that it was the “affordable” part of LA County where people can get their McMansions for half the price as LA but still commute to LA or the valley. The more West you go in Lancaster towards the Mountains, the more upper class you get. Essentially, anyone zoned for Quartz Hill high. But yeah, meth is a problem. |
But then how come there are so many who haven't had problems? Adele, Taylor Swift, the Jonas Brothers, John Legend (age difference, educational level maybe?), Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Charlie Puth, Shawn Mendes (granted, he's got his anxiety issues), Rihanna, Lady Gaga, etc. Is it the genetic component of addiction? |
I think the PP meant child performers. Aaron was 7 when he started performing, issued his debut album at 9, and was touring by 10, or something like that. |
You didn't really rattle off the best names for whatever point you were trying to make. Most of the male performers you listed are rumored to have sexual issues (closeted gay/bi) and none of the women you listed are married. Gaga and Swift are childless well into their 30s. Adele is a train wreck. |
| I've read that Nick and Aaron's twin sister had to get a restraining order a few years ago after doing everything they could to help. My heart breaks for them as well. What a dark and terrible place to be for you to have to (1) go through such lengths and (2) experience this tragic outcome. I'm sure they're wracked with guilt, but as a PP mentioned, at some point they have to want the help themselves |
It is really all about how they were raised and who they were around. Taylor has what appears to be supportive and protective parents. She also started her career in country music touring with Brad Paisley. I recently watched an interview with Mila Kunis and she said one of the big reasons she didn't get into drugs is that none of the people she hung out with on That 70s Show did drugs, she was like 14 when she started the show. I would say parents either protected most of the people on your list or they just hung out with good people. |
