This.

For a Father to not have anything to do w/his child because she left his church is just outrageous in my humble opinion here.

Suri deserves so much more from that rat.

He also made it so the kids he adopted with Nicole wanted nothing to do with her. He’s awful. Katie Holmes is a rock star for getting out of that mess in one piece and with her daughter.

Clark Gable raped Loretta Young. Young had no concept of date rape and blamed herself. Very late in her life she learned what it was and stated that’s what had happened to her. She was Catholic and desperately wanted to keep her baby. Loretta actually did place her baby in the orphanage and legally adopted her around 18 months of age. The daughter didn’t learn the truth until young adulthood, and there was a period of estrangement. I think it’s not fair to place Loretta Young in the celebrity bad parent hall of fame. That would be Clark Gable. Loretta did everything she could do in that time to love, provide for, and protect her daughter.

My grandmother was raped about five years after Loretta. She told no one but a friend (who helped her clean up and kept her at her house for a few days) until she told me shortly before her death. I should never have let him get me alone. That’s the phrase she repeated over and over as she told me the story. My grandmother was a very strong woman and wasn’t known to take blame very often. Even though we live with rape culture, I don’t think we understand how deeply ingrained the sense of female culpability for rape was.

I am sad to hear what happened w/your Grandmother PP. 💔
How very tragic…..

I agree the parenting onus is on Clark Gable vs. Loretta Young on this.
I think Loretta did the best she could given the unfortunate circumstances at the time.

If she had revealed the truth her career would have been toast as Hollyweird at the time was very unforgiving during that time.

Clark could, should have acknowledged his daughter more - according to her he only saw her one time - it wasn’t fair to her that he shut her out the way he did.

Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad my grandmother was able to tell me, and I could tell her that it was NOT her fault. She found peace with it, after carrying that guilt and shame for more than 75 years.

Loretta was less concerned with her career than she was first that if the studio found out she was pregnant they would try to force her to have an abortion, and second, that her daughter would suffer being labeled a bastard without the adoption ruse. I suspect Judy Lewis (daughter) would not have been better off having Gable in her life, but all of the negativity is really down to him being a rapist, and the culture of the time not even having words for Loretta to put that to. Anyway, for obvious reasons, this one struck a chord with me.

This may not be a parenting issue possibly - isn't the son a totally normal guy who moved out of LA and has a normal family and manages his money just fine?

Yes, he left Hollywood and was a life coach for a little while, not sure if he’s still doing that. But he turned out relatively normal. She is a freakin’ mess….her latest headline is that she hates water and never drinks it and often ends up hospitalized due to dehydration. It’s like every headline about her is something bizarre. It's like she never grew up.

I feel bad for her kids. They always look sort of "messy" and unkempt and having heard she's a massive hoarder, I can't imagine how Tori's kids will manage as adults. It's like she's set them up to fail, because of her lack of discipline for herself, and probable lack of structure in the home.

Also, all of her kids now are overweight (except maybe Beau, the littlest one). That is a huge red flag. Tori used to be overweight too but started Ozempic obviously.

No, her oldest daughter Stella is not overweight.

Parenting is really hard out of the spot light. I can’t imagine how difficult is with the public eye on top of you.

There are lines that should never be crossed in or out of the spotlight. Let's start with abuse or letting your child be abused by someone else.

I think it's admirable when certain celebrities keep their kids off social media. I follow Jennifer Garner and she posts all kinds of silly stuff, but never ever pics of her kids. Jamie Dornan does the same (though his wife will post their backs sometimes). Then there are people like the Kardashians who not only do photo shoots with their kids and post them, but let their kids have their own social media at young ages.

Katie Holmes married the wierdo! She is responsible for that.

She used to be. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was also put on Wegovy.

The kids clearly have issues. The older two dress like absolute freaks. Dyed hair, goth, alternative. Inappropriate shoes and dresses for Stella. Multiple piercings. Not normal. Hattie is downright obese. They need to get that under control - they are setting her up for lifelong health issues. Finn is starting down the alternative path as well. Both Finn and Beau need haircuts - the long hair looks downright ridiculous. Liam does too for that matter.

I’d be shocked if these are college bound kids. I hope I’m wrong.
