[quote=Anonymous]I had an acquaintance who was involved very early on in the Gosselin show. She said that at first Kate was very down to earth and nice (thus it being greenlit) but changed as the constant being on camera and "fame" went to her head. I want to say that in "Honey Boo Boo" the Mama actually did put away most of the proceeds from the show for the kids, which is why their housing and situation didn't really change those first few seasons. I could be wrong, but if so at least she had a clue there.

I think it is an issue when parents are making money off of kids without their true consent as minors. We used to see it in these reality shows but now it's on YouTube and TikTok. I read a story at one point of a teen who no longer wanted to do online stuff but she was the primary breadwinner for the family at that point and felt she had to. When she turned 18 she shut everything down and ended up being estranged from her parents. It's sad. I guess it's similar to parents who forced their kids to be child actors. It's f'ed up.[/quote]
